pirate catIt’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so there’s a host of pirate-themed games you could be playing this weekend.

Games like the Monkey Island series, maybe the new Tales episodes. Or Sid Meier’s Pirates! Or the ’80s original of Sid Meier’s Pirates!

Perhaps the Pirates of the Caribbean games. Or Puzzle Pirates. Pirates of the Burning Sea. Legend of Black Kat.

Does Privateer count? Or those PC strategy games like Port Royale or Tropico 2.

There are just so many to choose from. I think I’ll go play Borderlands instead. Oh, and Eliot, let’s give the co-op a go this time.

What are you playing this weekend?

    More Wipeout HD Fury and SMT: Digital Devil Saga. Also I just popped Dead Space back into my PS3 the other day (only ever got to chapter 3 before I got distracted with other stuff), and was really enjoying that, so I’ll probably try to get further in that. Sure wish I didn’t have to work tonight though… :(

    I got an early release copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy, so most of my time will be dedicated to that.

    I *want* to be playing Scribblenauts but the airmail didn’t arrive in time. I’m playing geoDefense Swarm (iPhone – one of the few games worth any time on that platform) and Crono Trigger (DS). I’ll probably sneak in a bit of Force Unleashed (PS3), but frankly it’s a bit crap (a friend loaned it to me along with Uncharted, which was awesome, so he’s forgiven). I also have a ton of games to peer review for http://www.pyweek.org/9/

    I am lucky enough to have a wonderful girl who brough me home a copy of rockband from London. I think it will be getting a spin this weekend.

    Was going to be playing Batman, but the Steam version has securom so not going to buy it. Instead I’ll be playing GH5 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, and still continuing my vocaloid adventures with Hatsune Miku: Project Diva.

    Im getting a fair bit of joy out of Dirt 2 Multi on Xbox Live.

    Halo ODST is great but was a bit suprised when i put in the mp disk connects to the halo 3 servers with only 3 new maps and nothing else. for just 8 levels and all the maps i have already paid for this is the biggest scam M$ has done. Thanks bungie for ripping me off with the same old boring gameplay i have played for for years.

    WOW new visor and it hurts more when i get shot.

    Just think how much have u paid for in DLC content and now u have to pay at least $79 aussie dollars for 8 missons and the same maps on you already have from paying some decent dollars for M$ points

    Sorry for ,y rant i bid u farewell

    Never finished Mass Effect, so playing that in readiness for ME2. Also, plenty of CoD4 as usual.
