What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 8:40 AM on February 16, 2008
One game that I've been, well, I won't say avoiding, but certainly not paying adequate attention to, is Rock Band. This weekend, we're gettin' the band back together, ratcheting up the difficulty and rockin' out to some newly downloaded stuff. In anticipation of next week's hands-on time with King of Fighters XII, I may bust out a little XI to refresh my memory. Other than that, I've got a wedding to attend (you won't see many posts from me today) and some prepping to do for GDC (flying up on Sunday night). Busy busy!
What you lot got planned for the weekend gaming scene? New purchase boasting is also welcome in the comments. Have at it!

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, finishing up Bioshock on hard, and Rock Band. Might pick up DMC4 this weekend too although the money in the bank is sorta supposed to be for SSBB in a few weeks...guess I have enough already to keep me busy till then, though.

Well, I turned to Call of Duty 4 earlier tonight to beat it... and realized I only had one mission left. So that game's over now. Hopefully I'll have some time for multiplayer, and maybe get a little further in Puzzle Quest, the bane of my existence.

Currently helping my neighbor beat Gears of War on Hardcore, and getting my ass stomped into the floor with every weapon the map can throw out on Halo 3.
When the system is not the price of my rent, I'll get around to buying one for my very own.

Audiosurf because I thought "Cooking Mama 2... £20... Audiosurf... £7.50... I am going on holiday in two weeks and i need to pay back £40 to my friend before then... I will go with £7.50 and I can just replay Cooking Mama"
Anyways, enough of my life story, maybe some random small games too... Like Boogie Bunnies, a few of the new tracks I haven't got around to playing in Guitar Hero III... Some Wave Race 64? Oooh or Mad Tracks.
Dear god I buy a lot of games :|

@sriver: I'm loving it. Zelda PH is top tier but it's weird because I still can't believe we are getting console quality games on portables. Technically speaking...I could play portable games for the next 6 months to the years and get just as full an experience as most console experiences.

Due to serious money issues (not the least of which was having to shell out $1300 for a new water heater and installation of same) I must pass up on the newer offerings I crave so and go back to that which I never finished. with that in mind:
Eternal Sonata
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
The Sims 2
Maybe give Assassin's Creed one more try.

No games for me this weekend. This time, it's all about sharing the love with my family the greatness of the Super Smash Brothers Brawl soundtrack, the Super Mario Galaxy Platinum Soundtrack (which I just got today and had no idea!), and the lovely Ojamajo Doremi BGM collection (only 5,000 ever made, so I consider myself...not that lucky).
P.S. To continue on the getting rare stuff, I managed to get the first issue of the PPG comic (:p) with a mintage of 9.4 (whatever that means), but after seeing it in its protective cover, I don't really feel like opening it. ^ ^;
P.P.S. Apparently, I got another package today (third one) just after I left from school, so I'll have to wait on that. It's either Ojamajo Doremi Volume 1 DVD or Fruits Basket Volumes 1-4. GAAAAH! I'm not going to to have enough to pay off school!

I bought Audiosurf off of Steam and it's pretty interesting. I managed to play it for several hours straight before turning it off.
Other than that, probably Fire Emblem: TSS or some TF2. Gotta steer clear of that Badlands map, though. Not a big fan.

Oh, almost forgot about the Patapon demo. I downloaded it last night (have I mentioned that the PC version of the PSN downloader sucks?) and played it a bit, but for some reason it just didn't click with me. I'll probably need to spend more time on it.

Posted 5:12 PM 16/2/08
Same thing as I seem to be answering every week these days: More Disgaea on the PSP. I don't even think I've bothered making any progress in the story (I'm on episode 10) in several days, I'm mostly just running through item world repeatedly and building up more powerful item residents. Through some fluke of invincibility geo-panels and sheer luck, I also managed to capture a gargoyle that is nearly double the level of anyone else in my party right now, which makes him functionally invincible in a lot of places. I suppose one of these days I need to at least finish off the story. If I get time for anything else, It'll probably be either Rock Band (spent some time playing at a friend's house last night, still trying to make the transition from medium to hard guitar, but me on drums = EPIC FAIL) or Professor Layton.

Counter-Strike as usual.
Some Guitar Hero 3, Team Fortress 2, and Warcraft 3 on the side.
A small bit of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 as well.
Which is the same as every weekend game-wise. :o

Posted 5:12 PM 16/2/08
Trying to not finish Uncharted (I think I have less than an hour's play left).
I should finish Heavenly sword but I keep getting distracted and getting my skills back up to take on the end levels is tiring.
I got dead head fred (psp) and it's flawed but definitely worthy.
No More Heroes - hopefully I'll love it more soon
Penumbra: Black Plague if I can find it (but probably won't be playing it yet)
I also grabbed a PS3 Eye and a couple of PSN games for that.
But really what will happen, amid doing other things, is a few rounds of 2142, tf2 and quakewars as I can squeeze those in amid taking care of real life.

Posted 5:12 PM 16/2/08
Anyone else checked out the preview of World of Goo from 2d Boy? I will probably play a little of that this weekend. I am quite impressed with it so far.
Audiosurf also looks interesting. I will definitely have to check that out.
Of course I will also be getting my Orange Box (have to lose in Badlands a few more times before I decide whether or not I like it :p) and COD4 fix and maybe play a little Hellgate. I've also been checking out DDO again just to see what they have done with it and I am enjoying it more now then I did when it first came out.
Damn, there is just to much to play. I may have some late nights ahead of me this weekend.

I'm playing through Resident Evil 4 (Wii Edition) again. Let's face it -- if it weren't for Portal, RE4 would be picking up its second GotY award (third, if your year runs a little late).
Also playing Zack & Wiki and a number of board games (Race For the Galaxy for sure, don't know what else). Maybe some River City Ransom EX and a bit of Super Mario Bros. 3, as well.

Let's see.
Guitar Hero 3 for scorehero.com leagues, Call of Duty 4 because I borrowed a 360 from my friend this week and rented it (I've never been more moved, shaken or disturbed from a video game before, it's powerful), Mass Effect (HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING! 5 hours in, only been in combat a few minutes, the story is awesome), and really, that's about it.
Got my girlfriend hooked on Guitar Hero, and she's plugging away at Medium. She likes it so much she's buying a PS2 just for it. I'm so proud.

Still plugging away at Blue Dragon. I am enjoying it, but I can understand why some people may not like it, the pacing between battles, visiting cities and major events is just out of balance. I'll also be playing some Rez HD, still trying to finish Area 5.

Which Baten Kaitos are you playing? I played both titles and loved both, and now I am desperately hoping for a sequel on the Wii or even a handheld DS version.

@Yeux de nouilles: For real? Never knew a lot of people who dug Actraiser 2. The lack of sim mode kept me from giving it a fair chance at the time, and I guess it's a decent enough action game. I found a happy, loving home for my complete copy a year or two back, but I'm always surprised to hear about people playing it for whatever reason.
Same as usual here, more KOF XI and 3S, maybe some Pixeljunk Monsters. Definitely gonna get some Audiosurf time in too.

Glad you asked! (Well, I guess it's to be expected at this point but whatever).
I plan on quitting smoking this weekend. I did that once, and it lasted six months before I went to Mexico on vacation and got hooked again. The way I quit the first time was by playing Neverwinter Nights for 4 or 5 straight days. I just locked myself into it and couldn't be bothered to go outside for a smoke. I plan on doing the same thing this weekend with Call of Duty 4, No More Heroes, and maybe a little Dead Rising or Cooking Mama since it's about damn time I finished those off. Of course, Rock Band is bound to pop up here and there. I don't know how you managed to stay away from it.
