Weekend Gamer: What are you playing?

[Jetherik]

It is the age old question that happens every weekend - there are many answers, none of them wrong, but it will set the tone for the next few days. What are you playing this weekend?

[gzsfrk]

I plan on making it through the single-player portion of 'Splosion Man. Other than that, I've got a copy of Burnout Paradise that I've been meaning to try, and I might make myself go back to Prince of Persia to see if I can get interested again.

[brutalus7]

I'm going to try to get through the last half of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass this weekend. I think I'll probably end up reading more comics than playing games though.

[Ulysses]

Star Wars Rebellion. People hated it for some reason, although I see the "too complex" reason thrown around...those people should just read the manual.

[murpes]

I'm playing the "failed hard drive reinstall Windows" game.

This one has a surprising amount of replay value.

[Ranhert]

More BlazBlue. I seriously can't get enough of this game. It just has such a better feel then SF4 while adding a level of complexity that is unmatched.

[Rafterman]

I will likely keep playing Banjo & Kazooie Nuts and Bolts and throw in some Splosion Man as well. The other option is to head out and rent something to play, maybe Ghostbusters?

Oh yeah, some Rhythm Heaven on my DS as well. Really diggin that game.

[senorduck]

That sucks. Reminds me of playing the memorization game "BSOD error code". Not to pour salt on the proverbial wounds, but i loaded up Supreme Commander on Gametap this week for some reason and it is awesome!

[brutalus7]

Oh yeah, some Rhythm Heaven on my DS as well. Really diggin that game.

I got Rhythm Heaven a few weeks back, and I'm not too sure about it. I like it for a couple minutes, but I feel like its a really specific collection of minigames. Don't you think it would be better if it actually scored you clearly after each game? I hate not knowing how close I am to 'Superb'. Maybe I'll have to give it another try this weekend.

Star Wars Rebellion. People hated it for some reason, although I see the "too complex" reason thrown around...those people should just read the manual.

I actually ended up with someone elses copy of this because they found it too complicated...I loved it, played it for monthes. Was thinking about it just yesterday in fact.

For myself, loving the DOW II 1.5 patch at the moment, so mostly that. Maybe some King's Bounty.

[pwnophobia]

MAYBE a little 1943 but I'm still teaching the puppy how to go outside so I don't think I'll see much gaming.

[AspectVoid]

I'm going to be playing the Batman demo when I get home tonight. Beyond that, I've been working my way through Overlord, which I've found fun. I'm also doing a second playthrough of FEAR2.

[Methos]

Probably some more Fallout 3, some Witcher 1.5, Street Fighter 4, Force Unleashed and always Left 4 Dead.

Go Joe?! We will see... ONE more damn week until DISTRICT 9..........

[Capn Crunch]

I'm going to see if I can get an S in all the single player missions in Chromehounds and maybe hit up some inFamous. But I'm mostly going to be playing the 'Finish up some stuff in preparation for going to GenCon' game.

[Rafterman]

I do agree that the scoring seems to be arbitrary, I can never tell if I am going to get Superb or fail. The thing is, for some reason I keep finding myself smiling when I play. I can't pinpoint why, but something in it is working for me.

[shadow763]

Fat Princess if I can get in an online game, otherwise probably some Ridge Racer on PSP, Tomb Raider Anniversary PSP, and I may pick up Fear 2 this weekend. So probably some of that if thats the case.

[dr_qwandry]

Fatal frame series if i can get up the nerve.

[rulyblue]

A second playthrough of FEAR 2 does sound interesting. I might just do that. I'm still un-burned-out with Angband. My wife is playing Baldur's Gate 2.... we need a second comp soon.

Why the small ass print?

[Major Dan]

I have actually been playing Halo 3 a lot lately. It had been a long time since I played and I am really enjoying it, finally made LT the other day. BTW, Griffball is really fun, you get so much hammer practice, I had 32 hammer kills in a match the other day, I couldn't stop grinning.

[Tintivilo]

Playing w/ myself is always a good standbye

[MrE]

Sacred2 for X360, followed by Splosion Man if I get time. Gotta work another 7 day work week before this deadline gets finished.

[brandonjclark]

My mobo took a shit and I have to wait for the RMA, so I'll be gaming on an Ubuntu machine with an ATI Radeon 4350 in it.:( Well, at least I'll pretend it'll be gaming!

I found a good site to try some free, Linux games. We'll see:confused:

Dawn of War II (PC)

I'm really digging the small-squad mechanics, the pseudo-Diablo item drops, and the complete lack of base building/resource management. It's an RTS game I'm actually enjoying!

[Rhaze]

I was playing DoW2 quite a bit until alot of the recent changes. I got kinda lost on how to play decently so I'm holding off for a bit until I feel like jumping back in. ANON 1404 has been eating up quite a bit of my time.

Assassin's Creed: Should be finishing assassination number 4 to 7, does collecting the flags have any influence on the game?

Bought DOW 2 last week so will give it a try ofcourse (Big Relic Fan here)

Assassin's Creed: Should be finishing assassination number 4 to 7, does collecting the flags have any influence on the game?

Nope, though I played it on PC. I think there might be an achievement for the 360 players. Would have been cool if it did actually unlock something.

Prolly some more Suikoden 3 (or Tierkreis). Also playing through Ghostbusters on pro-that game is short but so fun to play. Maybe some WipeoutHD and Mirror's Edge. House internet gets turned back on Monday--just switched providers, going from 5Mb down to 20Mb down. Then the real gaming will begin (resume?). :cool:

Finished AC ! What a slick awesome final mission fighting hordes of enemies :) .
The ending was very weird if they hadn't announced AC 2 hehe :)
