The Joystiq Weekend: December 29-31, 2007


So, uh, hey there Joystiq Nation. You know what? It's almost 2008, JT (Joystiq Time) and you know what that means, right? Our picks for best games of the year are dropping tomorrow but tonight ... tonight we're going to be drinking away all the pain 2007 inflicted upon us (and our very worn-out wallets).

To help us dull the hurt of 2007, we're staring at former GameSpotter Rich Gallup's gorgeous little metal Weighted Companion Cube (milled by his brother who, we might add, must be very handsome and, above all, generous). Raise your glass to him and his cube, while you read more about it here.

As for us, we'll see you in '08 kiddos. Now, to the bottle!
