Battlefront
The other thing that we did over the weekend (though truthfully, one of us did it a *lot* more than the other), is play Star Wars: Battlefront, which was released on Friday. I keep suprising myself lately by being more into things I'd usually have no time for than I ever expect (I call it The David Effect), and this is a prime example. It uses various conflict scenes from the films (Hoth, Endor, etc) as well as some that didn't actually see combat (Tatooine for instance), and gives you the opportunity to choose which side of the battle you are, and what kind of soldier from that side.
And then you blast hell out of everything that's not on your side.
It's *incredibly* satisfying.
And you can play it over X-Box Live against or alongside other people online.
We wasted more than a little time on that, I'm slightly ashamed to say..

I’ve been turned off by this beause of the simultaneous dvd release.
And I’m revisiting my childhood by getting a Warhammer 20,000 game (Dawn of War) instead.
