As a glance at the release calendar for upcoming video games tells us, summertime has been largely dead in terms of new releases.  Over at AMN there just isn't much for a Nintendo GameCube/Wii editor to do right now.  So now that we're not reviewing games at a break-neck pace, the question arises: what are we at AMN playing right now?

The most popular answer involves either finishing old games that have been gathering dust or checking out some budget priced titles while waiting for the Q4 gold.  On the other hand, some strange staff members - and I really can't explain this - are, for some reason, going outside, with all the sun and dirt and grass and bugs and heat and stuff.  Outdoors is overrated, I say.
