What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 7:40 AM on April 5, 2008
It's time to charge up the AAs and get some much needed Wii time in. I'll be mucking around with a bit of Sega's The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, as I've never made it all the way through the third game in the series. I've also been slacking on properly finishing Super Mario Galaxy, an unfortunate black mark on my permanent record. When I'm not doing that, I may be farting around on PartnerNet, working on something for next week. I'll also be performing the Great Gawker Contractor Receipt Hunt in anticipation of a gruesome meeting with my accountant, at which a fantastically large check to the IRS will be written out.
Enough about my troubles with the US government and shoddy accounting abilities! What are you playing this weekend? Hit us square in the comments and let us know.

Metal Gear Solid 2. I played through Metal Gear Solid last week end and am throughly enjoying it so far. Also I'll be watching Battlestar Galactica season premiere tonight. I picked up the board game Cartagena and can't wait to play it with my husband.

@Mr.SithNinja: Yeah, I know how you feel, but you should go ahead and dust it off. I just got through playing I and II for my girl, and now she's more excited for part III than I am! She's even going to buy me Chains of Olympus in a couple of weeks.

If my wife has anything to say about it, I'll be playing Mass Effect (she can't get enough of that Kaidan feller). When she's at work or asleep, I'll probably pop in Oblivion (finally got the scratches my first 360 etched onto the disc buffed out) or fire up Contra to celebrate Microsoft finally getting my Arcade games relicensed.
On the other hand, I've had the music from level three of the original NES Castlevania stuck in my head all day. Should I take this as a divine message to pop in my GBA cart?

RB6V2, HALO3, Ace Combat 6 with Ace Edge Sticks (mmm), Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, and hopefully some new random Dreamcast games after Sunday's trip to the flea market! And might buy another power adapter so I can play my DS again, and boot up Mario Kart to get ready for its Wii brother.
oh, and I'll also be playing that game where I fill out forms and send my resume out so I can find a new job to pay for all of this gaming garb.

@mywhitenoise: I need to dust off GOW2 and play it. My roomate "borrowed" mine and beat it before I could even play it. Since then it lost all appeal to me. It's kinda like when you have been eyeballing this girl for a while and when you finaly get the chance to hit it you find out your buddy had already planted his "FIRST!" flag.... he did the same thing with Dead Rising... I need to raise his rent....

Lowbar
Posted 8:07 AM 5/4/08
Still playing FFVII, the original. Still holds up pretty well on an RPG level. Other than that a little Hot Shots Golf (can't believe I forgot that was coming out) and I've also been feeling a bit shooterish lately so probably some CoD4 as well.

@goose666: Be careful if you plan to play any sort of surreptitious class. You'll find later that raising your level via sneak really screws you over. :(

Rock Band and maybe some NHL '08. Those are the only two games I've played with any sort of regularity lately.
I'll probably also play some Bladestorm, at least until I get sick of charging into a mob of guys with my knights, getting off my horse to finish off the mob leader, and then turning around to see my knights have once again decided to go frolicking off in a random direction, leaving me to find another squad of knights to command.

Planescape: Torment and Silent Hill 2. I really need to finish the latter but I'm too scared to play it without anyone else in the house, so my window of play is only open for a few hours - I also refuse to play at night. As for Planescape, it's the kind of game you take slowly, so I'm not in any rush to finish it. I'm loving every minute of both games, too.

I should be playing COD4: GOTY Edition, but it seems like EB Games Canada is confusing the release date for the 360 version with the release date of the PS3 version. I guess I should check out Future Shop or Zellers to see if they have any copies.
Just wondering; do any fellow Canadian Kotakuites have a copy of COD4: GOTY Edition? If so, where did you get your copy?

I said I was playing warhawk last week, but this week I'll be doing the same with the new update 1.3. Man...a lot of people are having a cow since they change to no flag tossing and no changing sides. I seem to like it, because I don't really care what team I'm on, I just play. I also like no friendly fire because stupid people on your team would kill you on purpose. Sometimes the other team would swictch team to kill you. That like double bad. It eliminates that cheating. The new wrench suppose to repair your vehicle but damage enemy vehicle. The only flaw I see is that when I blow up a tank with it, I die too so it's like I'm committing a suicide. That's not cool. Everything else is ok by me. No time for hotshot golf I'm afraid.

I'm not sure if I'll have much time for gaming this weekend, although I may try to sneak in a bit of SSBB if I get the chance. It took me all of 45 minutes of playing Crisis Core last weekend to remember why I don't bother with most Square Enix games, so I'll probably be looking to dump my copy and get something else that is actually worth playing.

I have reached the point in a few games where I am stuck. When it takes 10-15 minutes to get back to the point where you died, the game is no longer much fun. I will probably explore a PSP game that I have never tried, so I will see what I am in the mood for.

I look forward to playing through HL2 Episode 2 now that I have the simulated surround for headphones and EAX 5.0 again. After that I may go back into Portal, FEAR, or Prey for additional immersion experience. :)

Picked up Bully for the XBox 360 this week. I have been enjoying that. I think I will be doing some more of that. I also picked up Virtua Fighter 5 for the 360. I may pick up and play some of that. It brings back memories of playing VF3 on the Dreamcast with Aoi and Taka-Arashi. What ever happened to Taka-Arashi? I might also get in some REZ HD.

"at which a fantastically large check to the IRS will be written out."
Considering the fact that most people pay less than 35 percent of their income to the IRS, that means that 35 percent of your annual income is "a fantastically large" amount. If 35 percent of your annual income is "fanastically large", then your take home is nearly TWO TIMES a fantastically large amount. 2 x fantastically large must be a shit ton of money.
Things could be worse, eh?

Also received heavenly sword from lovefilm, have a few blu-rays to watch which are backing up and i may play a little more god of war psp as i've only played an hour and a half...too much entertainment and im going seeing that body world exhibition sunday with the dead bodies preserved.

Some Call of Duty 4 on the XBOX when my roommates are out. After drinking copious amounts my roommate and I like to play some Army of Two. Possibly some MLB 2K8 as well. If you change the crappy pitching back to what it used to be the game is actually a lot of fun to play.

@subnet6: Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that 35% is a fantastically large portion of one's income to simply give away to a largely mismanaged and unaccountable government.
If I had more of that money, it would either be saved and people could lend against it, or it would be spent; either way, the economy would benefit instead of the money going to fund a subcommittee that was created to deal with the funds from the increased cigarette taxes, which now has to be subsidized because people quit smoking instead of going broke and killed their "revenue stream". /rant off

Gears of War for PC (enough time has passed since I played the 360 version that it's almost like a new game), Jade Empire for PC, but not Guitar Hero III because my fucking strum bar broke last night (the exact same thing that broke on my previous GH guitar). The worst part is that I bought it as a replacement on Ebay, so no warranty. And the one I replace? Broke in the exact same way and, yeah, lost the fucking receipt, so I was just out of luck.
Has anybody else had problems with the strum bar breaking? (The little metal spring thing in the inside has broken on me twice, presumably from playing on Hard and having to hammer the shit out of bar. It's a tiny piece of metal like 2 x 2 x 1 millimeters, made out of the crapiest aluminum ever.) I love GH, but don't feel like paying for guitars over and over again if they're just going to break.

@tk,
I'm guessing you haven't paid income taxes for very long. While I agree, 35 percent is too much, it's relatively low in recent history (marginal rate in the 70s was capped at 70% and in the 80s it was 50%), and incredibly low compared to other western 1st world nations. Anyway, that doesn't matter, it was supposed to be a joke. :)
