Sure, I get PC games sent to me regularly. But this was different. I chose the PC version of Mafia II over its console counterparts. It’s been years since I’ve done that with a multi-format game.
And it’s because, after far too long, I have a gaming PC worthy of playing the latest games.
While I’m taking my new PC for a real test run (Minecraft doesn’t really count!) what are you going to be playing this weekend?

I still haven’t settled on which title from my back catalogue I want to play, at this stage it is between Heavy Rain and Fable 2.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 11:39 AMSome guy ordered me to play some more FarCry 2 so I’m heading deeper into the savannah with that.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 11:47 AMI am currently putting together my entry for the “Show Us Yours” comp and then I shall settle down for some Starcraft 2, Lara Croft and Forza 3 with my new little toy that may make an appearence in my entry.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 11:51 AMI am going to be hitting up some Shank I think. I downloaded the demo last night and damn it was fun. BUT, it is such a nice day in Canberra today… wouldn’t mind getting out there.
I have a 7 hour MTB race on tomorrow so maybe I will get my outside quota then.
yikes
Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 11:52 AMI was like that when I got my new computer a couple of years ago but it kinda got annoying when most of the games I tried were designed for console, so most of the time I ended up using a controller anyway…
I seem to only be getting new PC games now when Steam has a sale.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 12:01 PMMafia II on PC – but using a 360 controller because the driving cars with a keyboard just doesn’t work for me.
The Witcher – I’m late I know but $20 on steam and with mates shocked that I haven’t played it, I caved. Enjoying it so far.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 12:02 PMBetween my moments of boredom, I’ll no doubt be playing some Scott Pilgrim. Started on it the other day and it’s definitly one I’ll be going back to again and again for a while yet ;)

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 12:06 PMI bought Hybrid: Eternal Whisper on the App Store and I’m enjoying it. It’s a fluent hack-and-slash that is very fun to play. I’ll probably be playing that this weekend while dabbling into World of Warcraft every now and then.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 12:14 PMA bit of Vagrant Story and Persona 3 on PSP

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 12:25 PMMafia 2 on the pc is meant to be better anyway. Im doing the same thing. Probably throw in some levelling up in bad co 2 on ps3 or borderlands on 360.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 12:31 PMWorld in Conflict maybe some Red Dead
Mr Waffle
Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 12:32 PMMore The Saboteur. 82% story missions 72% freeplay targets… I don’t want to have to hang around blowing things up hours after the story is over so am hitting all the targets on the way to the missions. Taking forever but better than post-game-grind I suppose.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 12:35 PMGood O David! My highest priority in life (slightly above eating) is making sure I have an adequate gaming PC. However, I still find myself picking up a lot of multi-platform games for my Xbox, as I’ve grown tired of lacklustre half-assed PC ports. Let me know if the Mafia PC port is any good, I’d really like to be able to play that one on my PC!

Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 7:20 PMHey Steven, Mafia II isn’t a PC port. It was built from the ground up on all 3 platforms. ;)

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 12:54 PMFinding the rest of the feathers in Assassin’s Creed 2. Might play through the Halo trilogy in preparation for Reach, too.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 1:01 PMI would love to be playing Elemental: War of Magic, but it looks like it needs a few patches before it’s worth getting :(.
Otherwise I’ll try to finish off the last level of SCII on my hard run.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 1:04 PMStarCraft 1
Yes, not 2. One.
Steven Bogos
Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 8:29 PMThere’s a Starcraft 1
Hieronimus Kava
Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 10:49 PMNah I’m just playing the Beta version of StarCraft 2.
;D
Silly jokes aside, I think I prefer StarCraft 1 over StarCraft 2 at the moment.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 1:08 PMreplaying dragon age origins and gonna get the expansion and all the dlc

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 1:21 PMHammering my way through Scott Pilgrim on PS3.
Wynston Chew
Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 2:01 PMcare to share the specs? :D
Chris Bobridge
Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 2:22 PMAt this rate – nothing I think. A little bit of SC2 multiplayer, but I went through the releases coming out between now and the end of the year, and it’s almost worth taking a rest, doing other things, and then waiting for the big releases to hit later this year.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 2:24 PMinFamous, Scott Pilgrim, UC2 Online, and I’ve started downloading the Shank demo. I’m hoping Shank is a good game, it seems fun!

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 2:41 PMI bought R&C: Tools of Destruction so probably going to give that a quick play. Unreal Tournament 3 on PC also.
James Worth
Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 3:03 PMIve gotten back into The Last Remnant, a game that always falls off to the side every time an Alan Wake or Mass Effect 2 come out.
Corey Lee
Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 6:42 PMI got up to the final battle but lost interest in it as the entire game seemed so half-assed.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 3:33 PMMonday Night Combat (still…!)
MAG with the new patch, and maybe some beta as well (it’s pretty fantastic, ridiculous knifing aside.)
DoDonPachi Resurrection (on the iPhone)
NFS: Shift with the overhaul mod on PC – getting my ‘need-GT5-nao’ fix here!
