Got me a code for LBP so I will be playing a assload of it. And a friend has be on me to try Lord of The Rings Online with him so maybe some of that if I can put down LBP.

Just got back late last night from Ft. Lauderdale. I am going to play the 'Move more crap out of the basement' game for a bit today before going to visit my inlaws for Thanksgiving and see my kids for the first time in about a week.

Oh yeah... games...

I'll be playing more Jeanne D'Arc (just got to Chapter IV last night... why did it take me so long to finally sit down and play this? I'm also going to try to track down a copy of both Yakuza 2 and Silent Hill: Homecoming, though I won't be able to play either until next week. I've got some other PSP and DS games in my bag for the weekend but Jeanne will get my attention for the most part.

Lost: I've got Fracture coming from my rental guys. I want to try it out but I'm in no way interested in it beyond taking the deformation engine for a quick spin.

Going to give Halo 3 a shot, borrowed it again from a friend. maybe a HD screen will liven up the experience.

Also Disgaea 3, Wipeout and VP2 if I get around to all of them. And catching the last train tonight when drunk should be fun.

Hope you play the crap out of it tonight and tomorrow, because the beta ends on the 11th. :)

Me? I'll probably end up playing Rock Band 2 and little else.

If some buddies get online, more CoD4 (360). Otherwise, some more LBP (PS3) and Lego Batman (360) with the wife.

I finally picked up Forza 2 (360), so I'll try and plug at that some more. And I still haven't touched my new copy of Ferrari Challenge (PS3). Too many games, too little time.

I am hoping to get some time in on King's Bounty. I still have Viking for the 360 in its shrink wrap. I picked it up at Target for 9.96 on clearance.

I also need to get back into Force Unleashed.

That and my 7 year old son is playing a soccer game tomorrow. Nothing funnier then 12 7 years old's running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

I jumped back into indigo prophecy so probably some more of that. I got stuck on a part (army base) and had to stop for a while. If I jump into anything else it will either be Marvel Ultimate Alliance or renting something like BIA Hell's Highway or Mercs2

I'll be tinkering around with LBP with the kids until the beta ends, and then trying to get further into the story of MGS4 again.

Did you play the demo? I found the whole thing pretty satisfying.

Yakuza 2. Had to go around to a few places to find a copy. It's pretty good, I never played the first one and was glad they had an intro movie to sum up the plot. I have the feeling that this is one of those games a lot of people will unfortunately overlook.

You're near the end, you should just force yourself through it. The last few sections of the game are a let down but overall I'm glad I finished the game and I'm looking forward to Heavy Rain. Personally I think the protagonist goes into a coma at some point in the game and the strange parts in the end are all fantasy and dream (sort of like what some people say about the last third of Minority Report).

I'll put a Spigot like answer...i'm playing the "write more papers for class" for what reason I'm not really sure...well I know why I'm writing them, so I can graduate...why someone wants to read them...or why the need for them...that I don't know...so i'll be doing that most of the weekend...when not playing:

Silent Hill Homecomng- I'm waiting for some dark hours of the night to begin...
Lego Batman- I want to play this more...I wish I could save anywhere and pick up where I left off...such a pain this way...I need games I can play in short spurts...*sigh*
Time Hollow/ Dragon Quest IV- try to get some hand held gaming while watching tv...
GH II/III- Co-op with Ms. Claus in the cards? GH is perfect for picking up then putting down...although difficult to tear away from...at least I have the option of walking away from the game...

I think it's just because people would rather it was called Shenmue. As stupid as that may seem.

When not at work I'll be raiding/defending Keeps and hopefully getting a warband together for another run at Mt. Gunbad in WAR. Probably try and finish off Ninja Gaiden 2 also.

LBP until sony pull the plug tomorrow, after that some MGO and if I have time between Girlfriend love and my family business will try to progress on Ninja Gaiden 2.

I need to find a copy of Yakuza 2. Someone was badmouthing the game earlier and I passed on it but after seeing it in motion on the 1Up Show (and being a fan of the first) I now must find a copy.

I should be able to get it... I just don't know when or where.

Lost: I haven't tried the demo. It's just that it looks kind of like The Force Unleashed to me. Some neat tech but the overall execution will leave me bored and listless. That, and I'm pretty burnt out on shooters, first person or third. We'll see though. When it arrives, I'll see how it is and if it can keep my attention longer than the first level or two, hey, bonus points!

Also playing Tales of Vesperia here, but no where near finishing it anytime soon. It has mostly been The Witcher: EE lately, best PC RPG in a long time.

Juggling a few games...

The first Fable, Mega Man 9, Rock Band, R&C: Quest For Booty, and maybe a run through of Aegis Wing (my guilty pleasure...any of you guys still play this?). I've also got a sealed copy of Overlord I got for $10, but I'm not sure I'll have time to break into that.

Warhammer Online, maybe some NHL 08. Oh, and some of the cheap games I picked up from Gogamer.

I am going to finally introduce my girlfriend to the current generation by exploting her love of Batman, Indiana Jones and Lego.

Then the next day I shall Warhammer Online it up with my fancy pants Witch Hunter.

All while I should be studying for my upcoming CPA exams. Yay!

I want to say Warhammer online, but I keep getting distracted. I was sent MGS4 from Goozex on wednesday, so I hope I get that tomorrow and I can start. I finally beat Mario Galaxy, so I think I'm torn between working on Okami and Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I'll definitely play some more WipEout Pure, though.

Waiting for my new *magic* pc - so excellent time to catch up on some PS 2 that I started but didn't finish. Disgaea 2, FF XII, Okami ...

So much to do, so little time!

Not much.

Trying to clear up my second run through of TFU. It's vastly more enjoyable with a higher level character, even though the leveling itself is a pain and the points system fairly broken.

On a whim I grabbes Pocket Paradise for the DS, I'm enjoying it a lot more than the lukewarm reviews would have implied, I think the improved stylus controls and easy to access encyclopedia make up for the shortcomings compared to its 360 cousin. Plus I think I saw an armadilo pinata rolling about, which is awesome.
