What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 5:40 AM on July 19, 2008
Being surrounded by the latest and greatest future releases the video game industry has to offer might lead one to think that my thirst for gaming has been quenched. Not so. Despite having access to E3's massive library of games, I experienced but a fraction of what was playable at the Los Angeles Convention Centre. Fortunately, I have a hard drive full of Xbox Live Arcade games to fill the void, including some stuff that, well, I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention. Suffice it to say, I'll be playing something fun this weekend.
On top of that, we'll be prepping for Comic Con. Anyone going?
I'll also be heading out to the Street Fighter Fight Club event in LA tonight, spending a bit more time with Street Fighter IV (and whatever else is on hand). Your gaming plans for this weekend are...?

Viking.
It's been gathering dust since I picked it up on sale (a week before GTA IV dropped) so I should probably show Skarin that I still care...

May finish Conan PS3 - just-barely-worth the $14 I paid for it. Poor Man's God of War is right.
May finish up my NG+ of Ratchet & Clank Future.
May go back into Oblivion or Stranglehold.
May try to push my way deeper into Siren. God bless you, 60 gig PS3 backwards compatibility.

Posted 6:16 AM 19/7/08
Some TF2, maybe a little more Peggle and Crisis Core. I might start playing some Pac-Man: CE again. That's still the best game on XBLA/PSN to me.

WELL it would be Metal Gear Online...but the servers have been down for a good 24 hours, the survival weekend has been canceled, and I've already seen Dark Knight.
I guess CoD4 or Warhawk.

Posted 6:12 AM 19/7/08
I'm probably going to try and finish up GTAIV this weekend.
Just re-enacted the movie Heat in the game last weekend, so now I have no clue where this game is going to go now.
I also will be attending this years San Diego Comic Con. I'll be sure to pack lots of Febreez when I go as well :p.

Posted 6:10 AM 19/7/08
Finishing Ninja Gaiden II, trying to get past the 50% completion mark in GTAIV for the second weekend in a row and playing some Titan Quest should do the trick.
I may get Space Invaders Extreme to see what the fuss is all about.

@Arsenicberyllium: Oh, Shadow of Destiny! Man, I loved that game. Poor Eike, he takes more of a beating than a crash test dummy.
I'll going for a no-alerts, no-kills playthrough of MGS4 on Solid Normal...not going to try to get the Big Boss emblem quite yet.

Due to the summer drought (I finished ninja gaiden 2) I'm playing the PSX game Dino Crisis 2! of all things, just becuase I never got round to playing it 10 years ago. (probably to busy playing Goldeneye)
I will probably play through Bioshock for a second time, try doing things a bit differently, or finish off my Mass Effect evil ending.

Posted 5:58 AM 19/7/08
Finally got around to starting The World Ends With You, so I'll be playing that since it seems pretty awesome so far. Who knew that the solution to boring simple RPG combat is to make you play two boring simple combat engines at the same time? It's a ridiculous idea but it makes it so no battle is ever boring.
Other than TWEWY, I will likely try to slog through a few more missions in GTA4. Really disappointed with the gameplay on that one. I played GTA:SA exclusively for weeks, but the controls on this one make it so that all I want to do is trigger the post-mission auto-save and call it a day.
Upi
Candlejack
Posted 5:57 AM 19/7/08
CS:S and that's it. I'm not excited about my current PS3 titles because I've pretty much exhausted them, so I'm definitely waiting for Soul Calibur IV. That will be amazing.
Candlejack
Durdon
Posted 5:57 AM 19/7/08
I'm a late 360 adopter, but I love it.
Got a used copy of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, and I'm working through it on the "hard" difficulty. Also slowing my way through Assassin's Creed (got it on the cheap from GameFly) and finishing GTAIV one mission at a time.
Other than that...Dark Knight.

I actually just got around to playing Gears for the first time last week (bought the refresh). I've been playing coop with a good friend of mine over Live every other night, it's so much fun! I can't believe I waited this long to pick it up. Hopefully we keep it going this weekend.

Battlefield: Bad Company on my 360. I always thought it would be neat to get a squad of four people together to play online with. Similar to a clan. Just with different classes so we could all help each other out. Sounds like a good idea. My gamertag is Jagged Toaster if you want to shoot me an add and a message, if you're interested.

this weekend will consist of smash brothers brawl at 4am with my drunken mess of friends and maybe a bit of mario kart wii.
grabbed a bargin for £15 (Army Of Two) which as it turns out is not all that bad really, just a big american terrorist killfest!
maybe i can get a bit of time free to play a little bad company before i go away on holiday.

Posted 5:51 AM 19/7/08
Gamefly has been cruel to me, so instead of getting top choices like GH:Aerosmith, Battlefield, Alone in the Dark, Dark Sector, and other decent 360 games... I'm getting Medal of Honor Heroes 2 & Big Brain Academy, both for the Wii. Not a total loss... but, I guess I'll go back to finishing Timeshift on Elite.

Heavenly Sword.
I wasn't very interested in it before, but I happened to find it on a clearance rack at Target for $15. I'm only a couple of hours in to it, but it's definitely worth at least that much.

Love me some Battlefield Bad Company, but I recently picked up some older used games, such as Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Crackdown, Just Cause, etc, that will probably take up some of my time. I also picked up Unreal Tournament III, and haven't taken it out of its case yet. I'll have to give it a run. I also had fun playing the Too Human demo, and might have to give it another go.
But for tonight? BATMAN!!!!

I'll probably be playing Final Fantasy X tomorrow, and seeing as though I'm going on holiday on Sunday, I'll be playing Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift on my DS when flying over Europe.
And I'll probably complete Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core whilst I'm in Rome. There's only so much you can see there, and I find the slums of Midgar much more interesting than some old building.... >_>

Maybe finish Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney if I have time, and hopefully I'll get a chance to play the new Cold Storage map on Halo 3. I leave school mid-Wednesday so I'll have 6 weeks to play games then. :D

I'll be playing "See how long you can bury yourself in books and computer screens without sleeping before you go irreparably blind". I love this game, I'm hoping to break my record between now and Monday or Tuesday.
Usually E3 makes me want to play all my consoles at once, dig out old games... this year, it had an adverse effect on my gaming appetite. I found it a bit depressing, to be honest. Kotaku's coverage was much more exciting than the event itself.

I recently converted Vagrant Story, Megaman X4, X5 and X6 to be PSP-playable, so I'll at least test those out. Maybe I'll find some time to dig into them a bit.
I'm looking most forward to Final Fantasy IV on Tuesday, though.

More time with Civ Revolutions, although I'm losing interest surprisingly quickly due to the lack of game setup options - all games are on the same size maps, same number of civs, lack of map types (arid, archipelago, mountainous, etc).
Other than that maybe revisit Mass Effect or Bioshock.

I might have some time for games this weekend. I'm trying to get the Dark Knight out of the way first - saw a sneak preview earlier last night, and most likely going again tonight. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is astounding.
Then tomorrow I'll be attending the National Hamburger Festival in Akron, OH. Mmmmmm burgers!
Oh yeah, the games. I just got a bunch of cheap PC games from Gogamer.com for $4.90 each - Jade Empire SE, Universe At War, Battlestations: Midway, and Just Cause. Gonna try and install all those suckers this weekend. And of course, play some obligatory TF2 matches!

Ever since they patched Rainbow6 Vegas2, I've been playin the shit out of its multiplayer. CoD4 has taken a back seat since I can almost never land any of its new maps (there should be dedicated lobbies!) which I'm not happy about and frankly I feel ripped off.
My buddy just bought Tekken Online for PS3, so I might have to get that too and whoop his ass. Lei Wulong wins! I never get tired of hearing that.

I have found Hellboy to be surprisingly fun. Its humorous and engaging enough to play through and I am about 2 levels shy of finishing it. Having said that, I would recommend waiting until the price drops, as its more a game you would enjoy for like 30 dollars, not 60. If you love Hellboy like I do, then go for it.
