What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 6:40 AM on June 21, 2008
With the new changes to the Pyro class in Team Fortress 2, it's time to blow the dust off the PC—something I've been neglecting—and get my hands on those lovely new weapons. And those two new maps! Since there's a free TF2 weekend happening right now, you really have no excuse not to join in on the fun. Okay, you might have a half-dozen or so, but I really don't want to hear 'em.
I'll also be cruising through Metal Gear Solid 4 one more time, taking my time to enjoy the sights instead of constantly thinking "Must finish by Tuesday. Must publish review. Run, Snake, run!!" Other than that, I'll just be trying to beat the heat.
What are you playing this weekend?

@excel_excel: I love how much sense MGS2 makes after playing 3, watching all the cutscenes online on youtube, and waiting a year before playing it again.

"GRANIN!!" (That's me understanding what's going on for the first time evar XD)

I really want to beat Psychonauts on Gametap, but after awhile the game will just crash my computer, which is the only game to do so. I have a beefy computer to boot, so I think it has to do with the code in the game goes bonkers or something. I would have given up, but the game has such a great witty story and the presentation is top notch... I just want to play it dammit! Anyways, I might play some more Morrowind, and I'm tempted to start a new file in Metal Gear Solid 2, but I want to finish reading the Metal Gear Solid official novel first. Which I might add was totally worth 10.99 USD. I think they could serious take a screenplay from the book rather than the game, and turn it into a kick ass movie.

No kill/Alert on MGS4, practicing for my eventual 1 month hiatus from real life, when i will take on the Big Boss emblem etc.
However when i get 'throw my controller frustrated', i shall be playing a bit of Portal. Through Steam. On my MACBOOK. NOT THROUGH BOOTCAMP.
Mac gamers, i suggest you get "Crossover Games" by any means necessary.

MGS Essential Collection.
After playing 30 mins of MGS4, it became painfully clear that if I want to enjoy it properly, I need pay my dues. (Never played any of the MGS games *SHOCK HORROR*) So, gonna finish MGS and see how far I can get in MGS2 before work on Monday. =)

Gonne be replaying the Twin Snakes, I recently replayed Snake Eater again and loved it, so I've decided to so them in cronological order. Its wonderful the way the entire series kind of locks in together and makes you think whether Snake was the good or bad guy in the original Metal Gear.
Also gonna continue Final Fantasy XII and Mass Effect and more Spore Creature Creator, which I'm enjoying immensly.

This is my second week with a 360, so I'm probably going to continue to fool around with games without committing to one. Right now I'm trying to work on Eternal Sonata and Rez and Virtua Fighter 5 all at once. So ... those, I guess.
When I'm out and about, I'm still neckdeep in my replay of Phoenix Wright. So that'll be in my pocket.

Most likely going to pick GTA IV back up and continue working through the story now that MGS4's done. Maybe start Sam and Max Season 2 for real.
I also still have MGS:PO, FFVII:CC, and Pheonix Wright 3 sitting around half-played and under-loved.
Other than that, there's always WoW, and Spore CC.

this week
after the letdown of alone in the dark :( mannn i was hoping it would not suck, it did.
i might go back to metal gear 4 but i think its a bit too soon for another play.
so i might dust of some old games i never finished like dead rising, rainbow six vegas 2 or orange box as i never really got into it again.
oh ive got lego indy to finsih too but i will wait until the lady comes over for that (its a more 2 player game than anything)
other than that
ive got nothing until next week....
i might invest in Ninja Gaiden 2
maybe

@Legion329: I'll look for you. had a great time playing for a few hours during the night this week. Last night I was doing great but for some reason I absolutely can't handle the Urban Ultimatum level.
I got sniped so many times last night, i just couldn't get it together.
At least I got my SMG skill up to level 2 and a overall level 2 rating. "whew" that game can be brutal sometimes.

Super Metroid (the game is seriously GODLY, I never understood why people held it above Primes 1, 2, 3, and Fusion- the other 4 games I've played in the series- now I do. It is the quintessential SNES experience.), Shining Force, and Actraiser... I *heart* the Virtual Console :D
Oh, and I'll most likely be finishing up MGS2 for only the second time... Raiden > All- he is awesome XD (That's not sarcastic, either. I get a bit fangirlish about Raiden... I don't know why. All I know is that he's so under appreciated)

Since I've only had my ps3 for little more than a week I'm all about playing games on that system:
MGS4 - simply, an incredible game
Oblivion - tried playing on the PC but my rig is a bit crap so I'm finally able to experience this game
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo - great fun, well worth the $10

@Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.: I'll be on MGO this weekend! legion329 is my character ID, if you're online.
For me, there will be Metal Gear this weekend. I beat MGS4 last Friday (ahaha... I had a cold), I just replayed MGS1 over the past three days, and now I'm moving onto MGS2... for the first time ever! I didn't make the PS to PS2 jump for some time back in the day, so I've never even seen MGS2 or MGS3 in action. Very excited.
Also, majoring in Japanese came in handy for once. I downloaded Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 for my MSX emulator.
VIVA SOLID SNAKE!

Metal Gear Solid 4, of course. Now that I have a PS3, I've been looking forward to playing the original as well (never had a PS1 memory card so I didn't even bother on my PS2).
@Surlaw-the-Mai: Star Trek: Legacy! That was like the 3rd Xbox 360 game I purchased! Getting the T'Pol, Spock, and Riker achievements was a blast. I'd really recommend the title for any Star Trek fan, despite its shortcomings.

Finished MGS4....now it's time to dig into MGO. If you weren't moved by the ending to MGS4, then you have no soul...heartless bastards.
Other than that...getting back into Mario Kart Online, Warhawk, Motorstorm and UT3 since they were all neglected while I was playing MGO.
I played a friend in Tekken 5 DR online last night and I can honestly say beyond any shadow of a doubt, Tekken has to be one of the cheapest, unbalanced fighters ever made. Back to VF5 for me and the $30 I spent on that piece of shit on PSN was a huge mistake.
I would ask if anyone from Kotaku will be playing MGO this weekend but I'm guessing "no".

- Full version of the Spore creature creator
- Mass effect for PC

- Borrowed Mario Party 8 from a friend, so I'll try that with the wife tonight
I'm also potentially picking up the Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 bundle at some point. Went to buy it last weekend and they were sold out. I'm not going to chase it. If I happen to be near a Future Shop and feel like going in and they have it, then I'll pick it up. Why Future Shop? Purely for the no questions asked 30 day return policy. If there is an announcement of a new/better PS3 bundle or hardware coming out that I decide I would prefer then I've got a month of leeway there to return the bundle.

Beyond that, want to play Mass Effect, Crisis, Bioshock and TF2.

1 CoD4 - time to pick it up again
2 MTGO - fell off the wagon
3 Crisis Core - FUN! Even the side quests are fun
4 Phantom Hourglass - Time to navigate the fog
5 Carcassone - It's my girl's b-day so I'm sure she'll wanna play

My sister and her husband are in town this weekend, and as a belated birthday present a bunch of us are going kart racing tomorrow (the real-life variety, not the Mario variety. Kind of expensive, but a lot of fun.) I suspect I'll probably be hauling my 360 over to my parents house for some Rock Band as well. If I have any time left over after those, I need to finish up Lego Indiana Jones, and I just started playing Diablo 2 again last night now that the No CD patch means I don't need to dig up the disc to play it.

Prolly finish Uncharted (SO MUCH better than the demo!), play a little bit more of Lost Odyssey, which for the first hour is so far pretty not interesting, to the point where I'm wondering if I'm just going to not play it. Might start CoD4 if I finish Uncharted, and also possibly start Okami Wii. Plus get a little farther in The Warriors PSP - MAN I wish they would add this to the compatibility list for the 360, seem like a really fun game for the big screen but its a little tight on the small one. Yeah also props to ST:Legacy - for a bad game its pretty good :)

Oi, what a weekend this will be.
I reactivated World of Warcraft for the first time in over a year, in the interest of playing casually with my old college roommate. Hopefully we won't fall victim to it's hyper addictive nature again.
I'll also be joining a group of 10 or so college friends for a night of Rock Band and Mario Party.
Meanwhile, I've still got Ninja Gaiden 2 to finish, and I just picked up a DS Lite with New Super Mario Bros, FF3 and The World Ends With You.
I'll either have to sacrifice some sleep or establish some priorities.

@excel_excel: Great point. When I finished MGS4...before I saw the one detail that made me go ..." OH SHIT!" I was thinking..."Snake is a real douche. He causes Big Boss's demise in Outer Heaven on his first mission no less, only for us to see how cool Big Boss was in Snake Eater..."
Like Snake said in MGS4..."I'm just an old killer. Hired to do some wetwork."
That he is....bastard.

Tenchu Wrath of Heaven on the PS2 for me. The last good Tenchu game at the time of writing.
The AI may be dumb as smart as a lobotomized amoeba, the rest is pure greatness.
I wish the series would return to this level in the near future.
We'll see how that Wii version goes I guess...

Need to get around to finishing GTA4.
Got my hands on Titan Quest and its lots of nostalgic Diablo-ish fun.
My friend swears by Thief2x, the unofficial expansion to Thief 2, so I should give that a go.
Another friend got Dark Crusade, so I should throw in some matches of that.
With pyro update this weekend I should do that as well... urgh.

Crisis Core came out yesterday (Friday), and arrived in the post in its wunnerful hardcover box packaging with the luvverly artbook about midday. So I expect I'll be playing that again all weekend! I've already put some 10 hours into it, out of the 11:30 hours I've had it.

@excel_excel: do that. MGS3: SE is another one of the greatest experiences I ever had with completing a game. When I finally saw the ending, my jaw hit the floor. Understand me when I say The Boss with THE shit. You totally understand why everyone respected her when you finished MGS3.
the Boss battle with "The End" is one of the best I've ever fought. Snipers battles in the jungle are the best.
Hey...I'm starting to see a trend here. Is it safe to say that MGS as a series is one of the greatest made? Shit...even MGS: Ghost Babel on Gameboy is great.

Ninja Gaiden II, because it hasn't let me beat it yet. God the gore is awesome in that game (and I don't even LIKE violent games). I'm going to pretend that every ninja, fiend, or other enemy I mutilate this weekend is someone who thinks that the Resident Evil 5 trailer is racist. SRSLY.
Also DMing a game of Dungeons and Dragons on Sunday... still using 3rd Edition, though. And will hopefully sneak in some Smash Brothers: Brawl on the side. And hopefully Guitar Hero 3 will come in the mail, because I finally broke down and realized I should own a GH game. Already downloaded the Halo Mjolnir mix, and might buy a few other tracks... we'll see. Definitely looking forward to the Offspring pack, though (that's GH, not Rock Band, right?).

I'm probably going to start capturing MGS1 into a condensed, viewer friendly format, and over time do the same with MGS2, MGS3, and if at all possible (it's a bit different since there is so much reading) Portable ops. I want to introduce my friend to MGS4, but he doesn't know much about the series, and watching it, while not as good as playing it, will be better than me simply telling him.

Still MGS4, I'll probably start my 3rd playthrough to try Big Boss difficulty and see if I can get the Tornado gun and the Solar Gun, bit of Boktai action should be fun, and if it doesn't mean insta-kill for Vamp I'll be very upset with Kojima. Crisis Core arrived too, but Everybody's Golf 2 is locked in at the moment, playing online quite a lot, trying to enjoy playing while the nomadic online PSP community is still flocking to it.
