I love Sharky and I hope to never leave Sharky but Sharky doesn't cover console games. Well, he doesn't cover them yet anyway…. However Gamepen, run by SharkyGames contributor Dan Clarke, does cover console games. Do you like console games? Even if you don't… you like me, right? So why not do the cool thing and remember to visit Gamepen on the 1st and the 15th of each month for a little bit of Beatdown CE? 85% of the cool people are doing it. Here is the first edition. Please give it a try!
