What Are You Playing This Weekend?

It’s an odd time of year for a gamer as we find ourselves caught between the deluge of titles that arrived just before Xmas and the next onslaught that will hit as we move into March.
Are you still trekking through Fallout 3, downloading crazy LittleBigPlanet levels, trying to survive Left 4 Dead’s zombie apocalypse, or indeed any other of last year’s games? Or are you busy checking out all the demos – Killzone 2, FEAR 2, Halo Wars, Resident Evil 5 – that herald the imminent March madness?
Me? Well, given the ridiculous weather Sydney’s expecting today and tomorrow, I’m tempted to dig out that old copy of Lost Planet and have some fun in the snow instead.

    Fallout, fallout, fallout. Even after an 80-hour run through the first time, must play more…

    For me its Sacred 2 – Fallen Angel
    More Dungeon Keeper 2
    C&C3 Tiberium Wars
    Red Alert 3
    and maybe some GangLand and a few PopCap games.

    Hmmm… more Fallout does seem enticing.

    But I’ll probably just end up finishing Half-life 2 Episode 2 for the second time, and maybe try out this Gears of War 2 the kids are all talking about that.

    … of course, that’s if the power doesn’t go out all over Melbourne again ;)

    I won’t be playing much unfortunately, as the 360 is in the post for repair :( Perhaps some form of human social interaction is in order.

    Ever since I found the Locale Only option in CoD:WW it’s been non-stop Domination. Although I’m thinking of trying out the nazi zombie defense bit..

    Wii Tennis. I am so h4rdc0r3! Don’t make fun of me — you own Wii Sports too and I -know- you’ve played it. *hopes*

    @ Rei

    Keep hoping. I’ve yet to take Wii Sports out of its case. De Blob, Mario Galaxy and Trauma Centre are all that have occupied my Wii time so far.

    I’ll be unlocking parts in Armored Core for Answers. The world needs more mech combat games!

    I’m going over a mates place for the night, we’re gonna try and get a Neverwinter Nights 2 lan setup going. I’m searching the Internets now for a good one night adventure to run. If it fails we will result to more traditional gaming. Settlers of Catan!

    Medieval 2 Total War.

    Nothing like the satisfaction of conquering Europe.

    Persona 3 FES. Which you actually reminded me of in last week’s What Are You Playing. Along with the occasional Left 4 Dead Versus game, I’m happy to report that my sense of time has now been completely vapourised.

    I’m still playing Battlefield: Bad Company. It’s consistently underrated.

    Bully on 360 (picked it up cheap recently) It could very well have been lost planet (pictured in article) which is trippy (also picked L.P recently).

    Grabbing Fallout 3 as soon as all the dlc is out, can’t friggin wait!

    Killzone 2, full game. Shit is just too awesome. Cannot wait for it to release so I can have people to play online.
