What Are You Playing This Weekend?

6:40AM Michael McWhertor | It’s gonna be a hell of a weekend. While my body adjusts to Pacific Daylight Time—curse you Japan Time!—I’m sure to have bouts of insomnia. I suppose I could complain, but I’m sure it will afford me the opportunity to squeeze in some gaming while the better half is zonked out. I only picked up a handful of things while in Japan—Parodius Portable and Sega Ages: Space Harrier Collection—but I’m fully caught up in Jeanne D’Arc and, of course, Picross DS. Plus I have Tokyo Bananas to eat! Console time sounds unlikely, despite my wishes to wrap up Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, but exciting new developments may be brewing in that regard. Could my second HDMI port finally find a mate in an Xbox 360 Elite? Maybe! Since I’ll be checking the comments on the post around 4 AM my time as my body goes “WTF?”, I’d love to know what you’re playing this weekend. More »

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

6:40AM Michael McWhertor | Some of you will have weekends rich with BioShock or Madden, but I’ll be sticking to handheld systems for not only this weekend, but for the next fortnight. Tomorrow, I fly to Leipzig for next week’s Games Convention and GC Developers Conference, meaning I’ll be in the air or at an airport for just about 15 hours. That means I’ll be wracking my brain with Picross DS, revisiting Advance Wars: Dual Strike, and probably picking up something new for the Nintendo DS or PSP. Too bad Level 5’s Jeanne d’Arc releases next week, while I’m in Germany. Any other suggestions? And while you’re in the comments, providing sage portable gaming advice, answer me this: what are you playing this weekend? More »
