What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 5:40 AM on July 26, 2008
We'll still be at Comic-Con for a good portion of the weekend, so who knows what we'll be playing? If we had our druthers, it'd be Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Prince of Persia, Deadly Creatures and Soulcalibur IV, all playable on the Con floor. Sunday, however, will be purely dedicated to shipping out dozens and dozens of packages, as Meat Bun orders get some serious attention. Yay!
We may even get in a real-life game of badminton, time permitting. But what about you, dear commenter? What are you playing this weekend?

Im going to try to Finnish FFXII. Such a bland game. But i plopped down 60 bucks for the collectors edition when it came out, i owe it to my money to at least play through it once.
Also Final Fantasy 1 DOS.

i've got the post gta4 blues and am having trouble getting into another game.
i was gonna buy civ revolutions but i am also interested in the colonization expansion that's coming out for civ4 on the pc. i know it's not (the other kind of) pc, but i have very fond memories of the original and am hemming and hawing about it. what's a gamer to do in a world where choosing what what game you buy has become a political decision?
on a lighter note dc has started releasing a free 12 part watchman "animated comic" that's based on dave gibbon's original art on itunes. the first chapter is just over 25 minutes long and nicely done for any one that's interested.

@ComixZone: Yea I beat it, probably won't be touching it this weekend anymore. Apparently I wasn't even 15 hours into the game when I first posted. I just finished watching both evil endings. I didn't even hit 14 hours, though it seemed like I had been playing all day every day, time went by like nothing when I was in front of it. The game was definitely fun enough to go back through as a "good" hero, maybe next weekend.

on PSP: Patapon and Killzone: Liberation
on DS: Etrian Odyssey II and/or FFiv
or i may just read a book and nap all weekend... either way i come out a winner.

Final Fantasy 6 Advance
Final Fantasy 4 DS...though I just threaded up Chronicles on the PlayStation for kicks. IGN actually has a good comparison vid of the original SNES and DS versions)
Siren: Blood Curse...I love the music in this game. Keeping my fingers crossed it gets a Blu-Ray release in the states...though I suppose I could import the Asia region version.
And with any luck Soul Calibur 4...though street dates rarely, if ever, seem to get broken in my neighborhood...but I suspect that's more to do with when my local shops get their shipments.

Playing FF III that a friend loaned me for the ds. (This is my first time playing a FF game.) I'm going to be finishing up Disgaea on the psp before getting the second installment, so I can try to be caught up before Disgaea 3 comes in. (I doubt it, but I can try.I need to finish up TWEWY.)
Bioshock and City of Heroes is going to get a go around sometime this weekend.

I managed to track down the 2CD version in a pile, in the corner of a god-forsaken small-town games shop. It lives up to the hype, and with the widescreen mod it looks beautiful on a 1440 x 900 monitor.

First, a question: Is the Xenosaga...um...saga any good? I'm a fan of Nietzsche and I know all the games are named after his works, so...what does that imply?
I'll be playing Rock Band: The Who stuff, mostly.
Finishing up Mass Effect for the second time. So many things to love! - and to hate.
Wish SCIV was out today, because I'd trade in GTAIV for it. Just not my style, that one.

Fable: The Lost Chapters. Just picked it up on a whim the other day for PC. I think if I had XBox when it first came out I probably would have grabbed it a long time ago. Is it me or is the game kind of short though? I'm at 15 hours and I feel as if it is about to come to an end, but no matter how long or short it is I'm having fun with it.

I'm trying desperately not to give in to a sudden urge to buy a new game "just because". Especially since I don't really have to money for it... but if I do, I'll be playing whatever game I pick up.

or there's a single player???...
and you bought it for that?
I have an arm and half list long of games I should play, but doubtful any this weekend...
need to finish(partial list):
PSP
GOW:COO
Killzone liberation (this one just isn't doing anything for me)
Patapon
Harvey Birdman
DS:
Space invaders extreme (fun but not going to play it for that much longer I think)
Hotel Dusk
Dementium:the ward
That ace attorney the first one
WII:
No more heroes
PS2:
Fatal Frame 2/3
GOW2
REZ
Killer 7
PS3:
Ratchet and Clank (amazing far better than Resistance and I don't even like cartoony platformers)
Condemned 2
MGS4
PC:
Penumbra games (replaying with a Novint cause I love them so much)
Crysis (eh not going to happen... I don't like the aliens and my machine, well over the recommended specs, chugs at the boss fight I'm stuck on)
And all the projects not game related I should be working on... those guys that claim there's nothing to play... I can't comprehend... there's no way even if they had heaps of money, there's more good games out right now than I can even touch, let alone finish even if I did it in record time and had no life...

@dawimp523: Be careful to not wear yourself out of MGS4 before Act 3, it is heavily dosed with cut scenes and can get boring. Just a heads up. I don't know how Acts 4 & 5 are, as after Act 3 I had to take a break.
I cannot tell you how awesome Ocarina of time is, and I recommend finishing it.

FFTA2 - Missing with 99% all the time limits how much time I can spend with this game.
@mackincheese - Metroid ZM is a great idea, may play that.
Also I cannot push Mario Strikers Charged enough. If you have a Wii, give it a try. It is much better than any other Mario Sports game by far, and is somewhat addictive.

Today was AWESOME for me! I finished Act 1 of MGS4, played Pain, played the PixelJunk Eden demo & the PixelJunk Racers demo. I really want to buy PixelJunk Monsters since I have that demo & the game is only $5 + PJM Encore for $6. Right now, I'm downloading the Uncharted demo. I want to play that eventually, as well as Burnout Paradise, R&C, Rock Band, and others I can't think of right now. Tomorrow, I only work until 2 pm! More time for games!! I'll try to start Act 2 of MGS4. Sunday, I work from 1-7 pm, so I won't have much time to play then.
I feel sorry for my Wii right now; I haven't played it in a week. I still want to finish Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

I have GOT to get to this post earlier next week!
I was having a need for my Dreamcast the other day, except I gave it away to my young nephew 2 years ago (he loves it and he's 10 BTW). Since I didn't have a DC I did the next best thing- picked up some legacy titles that are sequels to some DC heavy hitters (hey it's all relative).
For the 360 I picked up Jet Set Radio Future (it's on the BC list) for less than 10 bucks used, and it's in great shape. On PS3 I found Virtua Tennis 3 for $11.00 NEW! (clearance sale at my local GS) Then there's Sega Rally Revo for $19.99 new.
The best nostalgia factor? VT3 by far. I remember burning way too many hours on 1 and 2, and VT3 has that same addictive fun that the first two had. The JSRF still looks great in its cell-shaded style and plays better than the original. Sega Rally Revo has its heart in the right place but is pretty different from what I remember. Still fun tho.
This weekend my PS3 and 360 are wearing a Dreamcast mask!
