What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 5:40 AM on August 2, 2008
Last night was our monthly Geek Night in LA, held at Crosswayboy's pad, giving us a double-double of video game indulgence. I believe the line up consisted of Geometry Wars 2, PixelJunk Eden, Wario Land: Shake It!, and Soulcalibur IV, which obviously equals good times. A bit unimpressed by the new Wario Land, partly because of the smooth jazzy soundtrack, and extremely annoyed by the addition of Yoda to SCIV's roster.
This weekend, however, I'll be throwing down with some more PixelJunk Eden, more Soulcalibur IV and maybe even a little bit of Braid on my own time. It's time to take a break before we gear up for the Leipzig Games Convention. Anyway, whatchu playin' this weekend?

I was going to play my 360. But since I turned it on and was greeted with the RROD I guess its a PS3 / Wii weekend.

@Akmed: Ew. Have fun spending extra money on the "cut the line" passes that still have long wait times in the blazing sun and the sticky coasters.
Never again in the summer. I'll wait until it cools down in fall, thanks.

FFIV, GTAIV, and Soul Calibur IV (which I'll be renting). What the heck is with all these IVs?
It's sad really, I finished GTAIV last night, finally, but now my OCD is kicking in, and I have to finish all the achievements that I can... which means opening my laptop beside me and putting a location map up for stunt jumps and pigeons and methodically hunting each one down. Those, and the 20 races, and 100%, are the only offline achievements I have left I think.
I don't think I'll get the 100% one... just because I have no real idea what I've done and what I haven't.
Plus, I have no real idea why I'm writing this.

TF2! TF2! TF2! always. Maybe GTAIV. Been reading the MGS digital graphic novel...I know, I know, I should be able to just finish it in one sitting...but what can I say, I like to stretch it out. I want to beat Mario Galaxy. But yea, I'm saving my Final Fantasies for when I move to Japan and will need something to kill time with. Was in the middle of FFTA2 and FFT:TWotL...but have stopped because I figured I would need something to play in Japan.

Still playing old games due to my lack of current gen systems, so Persona 3 FES (the game is freaking long!), Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and Jade Empire, and this time I'm actually going to go to Gamestop/EB Games and get Silent Hill 3, unlike the past 3 weeks that I said I was going to.

@Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!: I really like it. The game itself is pretty simple, but I love the vibe you get from it. If you liked either Siren, you'll most likely like this. Note: It has a very Japanese style horror to it, so if you like something like Ring, you'll probably like this

I'll be firing up Trigger Heart Exelica (DC), and hopefully my PS2 will be kind to me and allow Shadow of the Colossus to boot up, as well as Okami, which i have yet to even slide inside my 2nd youngest Sony Console!
Failing that i'll burn off some Dreamcast titles that i would never normally touch, but need new games that can be purchased with digital moneys.

@Methusalah: well I get e-mails from him about deals via PSN. He told me about a walmart deal from Orange Box (PS3) for 29.99. I picked it up, but as of yet, I haven't played it. The EOJ special he told me of is something I'm hoping is true. He was right about OB, so I'm being optimistic about this one. As for where he's at? I don't know. He's my PSN friend but I don't know personally so, I never got the information. However, it won't anyone if I ask him. ^_^

Seriously...you have to be crazy if you think geometry wars would work online, any slight latency would result in the game being completely destroyed. Real time multiplayer would just not work with current broadband infrastructure.

As for me PJE, SC4, and Burnout Paradise, mostly PJE, the trophies are quite the challenge in this game, I have two so far and I'm on my third garden. I wonder how long it takes to gather 100k pollen

Besides that, Blue Dragon, Civilization Revolution and maybe some UTIII, MLB Power Pros and Lost Planet: Colonies Edition. And I'd love to get back to GTAIV and go for more achievements on Ninja Gaiden II. Not enough time!

I've been playing Shadowrun since the beta came out over a year ago. I've stopped for a few weeks at a time for games like GTA IV and Halo3, but I always end up back at Shadowrun. Anyone who considers themselves a fan of competitive FPS's owes it to themselves to spend at least 3 weeks getting to know this game. It's got a bit of a learning curve, so it takes at least that long for the average player to become competitive. It was designed from the ground up with competitive gameplay in mind and is one of the most balanced shooters I have ever played.

I WAS playing the PixelJunk Eden demo, until I reached the third garden & it said I had to buy the game to play it. And then it wouldn't let me play any of the other levels! I decided that the full game would be too tedious for me, especially since I kept missing jumps & had to get all the way back to the top. I hate that you have to start the level from the bottom every time. So, I deleted the demo & bought Super Stardust HD. It's hard too, but a different kind of hard. I also bought PJM, and that is WAY harder than I thought it would be! I get so close to the end of a level, and there's too many monsters that are too fast or too strong, & I usually have too few towers. I end up buying too many towers & when I get enough gems to buy new towers, I don't have enough coins to use those towers.
Also, I'm in Act 4 of MGS4. I loved the beginning of it: (!SPOILER ALERT! DON'T READ ON!) a perfect recreation of MGS1, which turns out to be one of Snake's dreams before he returns to Shadow Moses Island. I really appreciated it since I never played MGS1, & I also appreciated how well they did the new version of SMI. Right now, I'm trying to get past those small creatures, Dwarf Geckos. My grandmother & my relatives are coming over for the weekend, so I probably won't have that much time to play anything on the PS3.
As for the Wii, it's been feeling neglected. I played Guitar Hero 3 at my neighbors' house in front of a bunch of kids. I LOVE being a role model! Also, my neighbor told me that she got Wii Fit for my mom for her birthday on Sunday. At Blockbuster, of all places! She wants to surprise Mom while I'm most likely working sometime Sunday, I don't know when. She'll probably hog the Wii & the TV to play Wii Fit, similar to how she hogged my DS to play Brain Age.

Just finished up Final Fantasy IV DS, so I think I'm going to play Touch Detective 2 1/2 next time I'm on the subway and on my lunch break at work. As for home, I finally picked up Resistance now that it's cheap used, and want to finish the game from last time I had it (borrowed as a Gamestop employee). Maybe I'll sneak in some PixelJunk Eden as well, it's very charming.
Now that I have my HDtv with 16:9, I think it's also time to resume my Mario Karting, since I can finally see what's going on in split-screen.

Probably Syberia on original XBOX. It's one of several non backward compatible titles I never finished that I always meant to. I have about half a dozen non-BC games left to finish so I can put the old black beast in the closet and free up some room in my entertainment center. Unless MS wants to do another BC update? Please? :)
I'll also probably play a little Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, see if I can get a little closer to 100%ing that one.

PS3 - finish DMC4, maybe start MGS4 (I just finished playing through MGS1-3). Otherwise maybe COD4.
360 - STILL trying to decide if I wanna make the commitment to Lost Odyssey - the opening is SO SLOW! Might spin up AITD instead and see if its as bad as everybody sez. I am always really fascinated by games set in real-world NYC since that's where I live :)
Wii - maybe some more Okami, but the first couple hours weren't doing much for me - otherwise the Wii goes back to its closet, where its sat untouched for months.
PC - Might get back into The Witcher (Act IV), or decide if I wanna bother with any more of NWN2 - I just finished the prologue and its awful so far. I also have a little itch for some Oblivion, dunno if I'ma scratch it tho.

If I can manage to turn on my Xbox for more than five seconds without getting dragged into a Halo 3 game, I'll be playing Geometry Wars 2.

Things look much more grand @22" 1680x1050 than my old 19". Can't wait to play HL2 again, and some COD4, Crysis, and any thing else. It's almost like seeing these games for the first time! Did I mention I'm excited?
Oh, by the way, do I need to calibrate my monitor, or has the Kotaku background color always been that "jaundiced" yellow shade?
