Playstation Plus is the best. So many new games for free.

So Star Wars: The Old Republic is offering free server transfers for the people who are on low traffic servers. I would have welcomed this for my Imperial characters, whose guild is defunct, but no, I get offered transfers for my Republic characters, who are in an active guild. The guild council has decided to move, so I will be moving with them, but I haven't decided if I will be transferring all my characters or waiting until they allow transfers for my Imperial characters and put them all on the new server in the active guild (well, not all, because you're limited to 8 characters per server, but most of mine are level 10's that I can re-roll later).

Just started playing Punch-Out for the Wii and holy crap, how did I not start playing this before? The game is amazing - simple and trite on the surface but teeming with hidden tricks and easter eggs underneath, all wrapped up in gorgeous cel-shading, crisp animations, and charming characters. And best of all, no cinematic fluff - just pure gameplay goodness.

The second wave of server transfers for SWTOR are in, and my Imperial server Hyperspace Cannon is going to the same server as my Republic guild! Sweet! I have to dump 6 level 10 Imperial characters, but I get to join the sister guild of my very active Republic guild. Now if I could just beat the final boss for my Level 50 Sith Sorcerer I would be a happy camper.

It could end up sucking, but it looks like a must-own to me now.

The new Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is quite fun so far. I was kinda annoyed when I read that this was gonna be their first game where all of the characters actually had voiceovers rather than just the mumbling and humming that they've done for all of their past games... But they pulled it off.

In SWTOR, I was part of an ops group trying to defeat the world boss on Dromund Kaas (Empire planet), when we got done, we discovered that someone who wasn't a member of the group got the kill and took the loot. Takes 2 hours to respawn and I had to leave. Thanks, jerk.

SWTOR is trying to get more players by offering a sweet speeder to existing players if they recruit a friend to the game. You have to buy a recurring subscription and play for 30 days. SWTOR is now free to play up to level 15 of 50. Anyone who is interested in the offer, please PM me, as I would love to get the speeder.
