It's already the weekend, and while I thought I might be hitting the TF2 or GTA4, I'm actually rocking Metal Gear Online. Until today I have been on the fence, not too sure about the control, and wanting what I would refer to as a more traditional shooter. That's just it, MGO is not a traditional shooter and today I had an epiphany. Everything came together and I've found myself strangely attracted to it.

@Komrade_Kayce:

I know, It's so untapped, it's like the complete opposite of the whole WWII thing.

Gun's also amazingly accurate historically.

SkutSkut

TF2 - gotta try Gold Rush

AtomicPlayboy

Most likely I'll be playing Disgaea and CoD4 some over the weekend. Also possible is some GTA: Vice City and TF2.

Dullshimmer

Mario Kart Wii, more than likely. My brother can't get enough of the online matches. We have to play on the weekends, because it won't cost me to call him and leave the phone on speaker. Damn you, Nintendo, for your lack of voice chat!

Shyguy

Boom Blox and Mario Kart

OH GAWD I'm turning into a casual. =O

Nisori

GTA IV, and... that's pretty much it.

seafisch

GTA4, again and again and again. It's crazy - I've actually completed the story but I've gone and started again just to see what happens when I make different choices. It hasn't gotten old at all.

imgoingtomakeyoubald

Call of Duty 2.

In preparation for Wednesday, when I get a 360, CoD 4, Burnout Paradise and Halo 3! Hurraaaa!

Puzzle

GTA:IV, although a rock band marathon is planned for saturday night.

thefais

I just finished Mario Kart Wii. So all I got to look forward to is Castlevania the dracula X chronicles, a new Death Note Episode on Saturday & Sunday I'm hanging out with the family for Mothers Day.

MURDERFACE

metal gear online beta

evolution0

Boom Blox, Super Castlevania IV, and some Dreamcast Bangai-O for starters! Did NOT know that Bangai-O will NOT display over VGA!! Had to break out the S-Video cable for that one haha!

Knoxximus (360/PSN)

Really original, but GTAVI.

Tiger-Fever

HUUUUGE party.. Rockband, COD4, GH3, Wii, drinking.. Also might get the new crackberry from Verizon

antman157

The thesis has been bound. It is party time. Probably some Wii Sports, then GTAIV, Persona 3 FES, and Suikoden V for the umpteenth time.

Eirias

Persona 3: FES. I'm closing in on the end of The Answer, and I might be able to polish it off this weekend if I have the time.

I'll also be getting in some The World Ends With You.

Lezard

Retro Shmups

Darius Gaiden on Saturn
Gate of Thunder and Soldier Blade on VC
R-Type and Raiden on TG-16

Eltigro

Since it's Mother's Day weekend my gaming is going to be cut into, unfortunatly (kidding- love you ma!). I've got at least one star in all of the Mario Kart Wii tracks so I'm going to be shooting for two stars. In between bouts of that I'll be playing some newly purchased River City Randsom and finish up FF VII: Crisis Core.

PhiCancri

Probably some GTA, maybe some Dreamcast love, too ... probably a few games of Frontlines on the 360

Menolly

GTA:IV, of course. I just got mine yesterday and am, thoroughly addicted already.

GeekyChic

I am definitely playing GTA4. Maybe a bit of GH3 too since I downloaded the Muse pack.

The Red Comet

@slomo788:

Ah, it's psychology,read one book and then claim that you have a reasonable sample size to write a paper that can cover all the subjects. I hear it's what all the cool professors are doing.
I would fear the wrath of psychologists from across the globe, but I hear they are undecided as to whether reading this puts them into a murderous rage or not.

Weirdwolf

Let's see...

Grand Theft Auto IV, MGO Beta, Brawl, and maybe something else. I'll probably pop on either Wind Waker or Final Fantasy IV.

Saint Anima

@homerj: Lol. I wish you were right. Psych is the only subject tanking my gpa right now...

slomo788

@homerj:

It's a trap!
Jean Piaget is a dude!

Sorry I couldn't resist, a friend of mine who had been doing p-sychology for a while for some reason never realized that Piaget was a man. You see there is what your paper should be on "gender biases in education".

Weirdwolf

@slomo788: what's to know about dev. psych? Blah blah Piaget, blah blah Vygotsky.

Man up and play some video game.

homerj

Indigo Prophecy...

Yes an old game, but I bought it for $10 on Steam earlier in the week and I'm into it. I'll probably finish it over the weekend.

Controls get a little wonky once in a while, but other than that, a pretty decent adventure game--especially for $10

homerj

Disgaea 2, NwN 2.

Palladium

Chemistry, Developmental Psych and a paper :(

slomo788

GTA4 combo with Mario Kart on the side and some Puzzle Quest to drink.

jiSh

GTAIV, Wits and Wagers, Okami, Mario Kart Wii & Emergency Dental Visit Because Two Fillings Fell Out.

Sloopydrew

Tonight may be margarita-and-video-game night with the hubby, so either Brawl or maybe we'll get back to our PS2 Simpsons game that we abandoned awhile ago. Probably Brawl at some point this weekend. I already spent the afternoon playing it, and even taught my 4 year old how to do it. Well, at least the training mode where the CPU just stands there and lets you hit him.

yowanda

GTAIV, GTAIV, GTAIV, and after that...
Some more GTAIV! (copied and pasted from last week, probably gonna be doing that for quite some time...)

GoldenGotGame

I have Persona 3 FES but will probably continue hacking away at Odin Sphere. Man, that's a long game.

hansamurai

Crisis Core, Super Paper Mario, Pokemon Puzzle League, and probably Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. Difficulty ramp, here I come!

WillyFourEyes

My vinyl!!!

dOOLEY

the world ends with you, killer 7, and city of heroes

Chanaluss

Mario Kart and/or Okami. Hopefully I won't be playing either all that much (even though they're both great) because I'm intending to achieve some more productive things this weekend, but, well, we'll see...

quen

IV

SAGA

GTA IV
Persona 3: FES
still trying to beat FFXII

Grimmjow Jeagerjaques

the world ends with you, and maybe some MK or Fantasy zone on the good ole' Wii... wii Okami is also waiting, but i just finished playing Shenmue I and II back to back so i am shying away from daunting epic quests for now.

pashaveliki

DS-Jam Sessions I picked it up cheap at a Blockbuster in Canada. I'm hoping playing around with it will help me learn to play my real guitar better.

360-GTA IV I've put in 25 hours so far and just unlocked Manhattan.

Wii- Mario Kart. I'm having way too much fun with this game. I'll probably be playing online.

Kinburn

just bought a TurboGrafx64 with 6 or 8 games off a customer, never played one before so it might just be a sunday filled with turbografx...and other than that GTA4 which is what i Know will take up most of my sunday.

Jamaces

Not much time, but I'll take my pick from Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Call of Duty 4 and Everyday Shooter.

Dragonzigg

I thought R-Type was done with, oh well! I guess I'm playing Mario Kart Wii, Uno, Rock Band, Guitar Hero 3, a bunch of other stuff! thinking about pre-ordering Mercenaries 2 this weekend but I'm not sure:)

weeoo

Zack and Wiki,MK Wii, Spiderman 2, wiifit and Metroid fusion.
Oh yeah and "planting a wildlife garden and filling the pond" it's like Harvest Moon only I get to have sex with my partner afterwards.

Weirdwolf

I'm nearing the end of GTA4's story. No idea what game I'll move onto afterwards, probably Suikoden V. Mario Kart Wii will also be in my future, working on the Mirror courses. Also, probably some The World Ends With You and some Send Resume To Employers Only To Be Laughed At And Ignored. The last game sucks but is addictive.

Alidar

GTA4 for the foreseeable future. Damn you pigeons!

Islandkiwi

@kingclip: My plans EXACTLY. I guess we have similar buying habits eh?

KidU

A bit more GTA4, probably a few more games of MGO before the beta ends.

Archaotic

I finally picked up Rock Band, so that'll keep me busy for the next couple weeks.

Actaeus

GTAIV and Mount&Blade.

Rohit_N

I will be playing my brand new Mario Kart Wii with the Wii wheel.

Lstormy10

Finally done with exams, so gaming is definitely in store. Kind of poor, so thinking about going through some old games that I haven't played. Xenosaga 3, MGS3, and Shadow Hearts 3 are in the queue. It's the game of 3s!

Although still kind of thinking about getting The World Ends With You anyway.

teraphony

GTA IV is a definate. All this Wrath news today has me itching to play some WoW (who am I kidding, I'd be playing regardless of the new info).

I also have a huge backlog of other games, and I may also go out and buy Boom Blox and The World Ends With You.

Slyght

Burnout Paradise and Grand Theft Auto IV

Mr_Fuzzypaws

I can't really, so I'll be watching NG2 gameplay vids and imagining it's me.

Xiedo

I'll be training in single Mario Kart to try kick some online asses.... but I think they'll kick mine....

nmlss

if GTAIV didn't kill my PS3's blu-ray drive, I'd be all over it.

...it's gonna be a long few weeks.

mcscan

Komrade_Kayce, I played Gun and I liked it. The poker was really cool and I wish you could play more of it.

octoSink

Probably GTA IV tonight

Starcade

WoW..... YEA!! THAT'S RIGHT!! I SAID IT!!!!

:(

/dodges misc items being flung at his head.

angryoaf

uh, GTA IV: Elder Scrolls. Nah, just playin'. GTA IV.

octoSink

Not sure, my weekend is determined to not let me play many games.
Im finishing recording this metal band up at the studio this weekend, so that will take up a little time.

I'm sure me and my girlfriend will get in some rounds of Mario Kart Wii.
Yeah, I think I'll stick to that, and say Mario Kart Wii and maybe some Final Fantasy Tactics, until my copy of GTA4 comes on tuesday.
Then I'll be able to answer this question with one word the next few weeks!

dantemustdie

@Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.: I quit warhawk (bought second expansion too) after they gimped the zone play to small maps only. Bad timing too with other multiplayer games expanding or comming out. I was never in the kotaku clan though.

Punkateer

100% GTA IV. GRID demo. Rock Band. Mario Kart Wii.

cheesecake000

Diving into some free to plays that are reopening CB this weekend... but mostly going out with the hubby and trying to work on learning how to craft kewl felt gaming stuffs (I made a pacman ghost stuffed thing, so promised the hubby to do a pacman one too).

MelodyKitn

GTA and I just got Rock Band finally this morning...never played a Guitar Hero or anything so am going to have my musical rythym game cherry popped this weekend!

GettinMyGooseOn

long time reader but i just register minutes ago.

After the dentist...GTA IV and all weekend too!

greetings from Chile

hlfx

Brawl. Still.

And if I can find a copy of Mario Kart Wii, I'll probably buy it.

KM91

@SkutSkut:

Gun was a pretty good 19 buck game actually. Quasi sandbox, but a decent western feel. Too many games ignore the wild west, I say.

Komrade_Kayce

Last weekend for MGO Beta!

so...I'll be playing plenty of

PS3 - MGO beta, Warhawk, UT3. I'm thinking about downloading PixelJunk Monsters and Tekken 5 DR.

Wii - Mario Kart (I have over 500 wins and only 170 losses)

SSBB

I might play Zelda Twilight Princess or Metroid Prime 3 again.

DS - Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword on hard. Boy, it's hard as hell too. I might pick up FF:CC or Advanced Wars.

PSP - I just finished FFVII: CC. Zack went out like a man, took a whole army to put him down. Square totally blew it by not re-releasing FFVII or remaking it for PSN or PS3. Total Fail.

Yeah...so I'm playing Beats and Echochrome when I'm not playing Wipeout Pure. I'm probably going to get Valhalla Knights and Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow soon.

what's up with the Kotaku clan on MGO beta? I never see anyone online. Same with Warhawk. It's getting discouraging because I see clanmates that are fighting together and doing great things in Warhawk. Why can't that be us? Do we suck that badly?

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

GTA4 - Lineage 2, one more time.

adolfo-gomez

Oh and I got Gun in the mail, so that.

SkutSkut

Doing a Let's Play for Clive Barkers Undying so that and some Halo 3 double exp weekend, it's snipers this week :D

SkutSkut

GTA 4 and MGO for me,trying to get through Mass Effect aswell,as i love the story.But the having a hard time as the combat is agonizingly bad,fuck i'm getting mad just thinking about it,fuckin 10 my ass.Fuck it GTA AND MGO for me

SlowDeath420

Shinobi, MGS: Snake Eater, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Yay for $10 games!!) and Luigi Galaxy.

Odd list, but whatever, I'm a cheapskate.

Zerbrechen

second run through GTAIV.
keeping everyone alive this time.

theTOMSTA666

@Slothboy: Sorry to hear you have to suffer through Vegas 2. I'll think of you and the unfortunate in Burma this weekend while holding a good thought.

Punkateer

Crisis Core, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.

I would been hitting up GTA4 but I just moved so no console gaming for the meantime.

Xcite79

MGO beta

j.howlett

As much MGO as Possible. Time. Running. Out.

Punkateer

A little Crysis for a seconed run through as stealthy as I can. Also maybe Uncharted. I need to unlock some levels I missed the first time through.

homernoy

I don't know specifically what I'll play, but since I finished my last final today I'll damn sure be playing a lot of it.

天水

I'll be finishing up Grand Theft Auto 4, then moving on to Persona 3 FES again (I stopped playing for GTA4).

I'll probably squeeze in some Tales of the Abyss though. I've also been playing quite a bit of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness.

Inverse Logic

Wizards and Warriors

Mechapixel

I'd love to play the full version of Wits & Wagers, but it was decided to sell it outside of the US, the UK and Canada. Too bad, the developers missed out on 12 Swiss francs because of that. :P

Well, leaves more free time for GTA IV.

Al Bino

360 - GTA IV
Wii - MK Wii / River City Ransom
PS3 - GT5 Prologue
PSP - FFVII Crisis Core
DS - The World Ends With You / Advanced Wars
PC - Team Fortress 2 / Counter-Strike Source
IRL - Legend of the Five Rings CCG

If R-Type and SNK Arcade v1 comes from Amazon today I will be attacking those on the PSP instead.

Seventh

It's a GTAIV and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue weekend again for me.

DigitalHero

Uhm games, i'll probably just keep refreshing is page throughout the weekend. @:-/

The_nub_next_door

GTA4 on the 360, Uncharted and MLB08 The Show since I got the PS3 2 weeks ago.

EnigmaNemesis

GTA IV. duh.

rmeehan17

GTA II on a PC running Windows 98

Now get off my lawn you whippersnappers

Komrade_Kayce

GTA4 (really the first time that I've agreed with a perfect 10-review), GRID demo, Bourne demo, Haze demo. And a bunch of anime.

boxmyth

GTA IV. Then I'm going to try and string out an MGS 1,2, and 3 marathon.

flashtut

I'm probably taking it easy this weekend and sticking to DS puzzlers. I picked up CrossworDS (or however you're supposed to write that) yesterday, and so far it's not bad for the $18 I paid for it at Costco. I've also been meaning to spend some more time on Picross DS but the cartridge seems to be lost in the pile of detritus on my desk which I really need to clean up.

Vexorg

@Seiven: true, im def sprikling in sessions of MGO, sad to see the beta end (sniffles) at least we only have to wait a month from now.

zanzibarlegend

Yakuza, Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan, Persona 3, MGO, maybe some TF2, finally finishing Ace Attorney 3, maybe go back to some Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy as well.

TheCleaningGuy

Boom Blox - Wii

Just finished up Explore mode and will be working on Adventure Mode now.

Iron Man - 360

Going through on Formidable (Hardest) difficulty. Only two levels left then I'm done for good.

Gears of War - 360

Recently been going back through in Co-op with a friend on Insane. We're underground now (forget the level name) and plan on finishing that this weekend hopefully with the new GOW2 hype train going in full effect I kinda have to. ;)

GTA IV - 360 + PS3

I've put a pathetic amount of hours into this one, so maybe I'll try to put a dent in the 30-hour story mode. I've mostly just been playing MP free mode and harassing people via helicopter.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga - 360

I'm at 89% now, and have been wanting to finish off the final bit for a full 100% for a while, so I'll probably finish that off this weekend as well.

fourzerotwo

GTA IV, TWEWY, CrossworDS

M

Mario Kart Wii
Maybe start-up MGS2.

def PD

GTA IV, and the new PSN Demos that came out. Might hit up some Rock Band too.

-EDGE-

I've probably said it in every 'Weekend' post but it's more TEAM FORTRESS 2 for me. I'm also playing GOD OF WAR: CHAINS OF OLYMPUS and PIXELJUNK MONSTERS.

Hostile

Persona 3: FES, WoW and Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations.

I'll certainly be picking up R-Type Command when my financial situation is a bit more friendly, though.

futurebiblehero

I've got my R Type Command preorder waiting for me at Gamestop, but I'm just not really excited about going to get it for some reason. I'll prob play a little Daxter PSP staying in bed way too long, but mostly I'll be taking a gaming break this weekend.

Thyrfing

GTAIV. Haze if it will download

Bitterbunny

Puzzle Fighter

GPman

Echochrome, GTA IV, FES

kingclip

MGO Beta Ends on Sunday...everyone get a few rounds in this weekend...next month comes the full release.

zanzibarlegend

Dakobah

GTA IV and the Conan Beta will take up my gaming time this weekend.

Martinmas

Guess I should go pick up GTA IV soon.

Harteex

Solid_hedgehog
