   I wanted to spend it on Dead Space 2 and Trials, but Dead Space won’t turn up before Monday and Gamecard seem to be having some issues and I haven’t got my points to buy Trials yet…

   …so I’ll spend my time wallowing in self pity; maybe burn down a few houses in Minecraft… :/

      I started up a minecraft server to play with some friends. One of my mates saw it and so bought the game to play with us, he’s still new to it but has made a giant complex tower out of wood.

      It’s..just…so…tempting

   Sinking some more time into Mass Effect and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. If there’s any time left over then maybe a little time on Limbo or Forza3.

      Haha don’t worry, Civ V won’t hold your attention for too long, at least compared to other Civs.

      Only spent 29 hours before getting completely bored D=

   It’s my birthday this weekend! So I’m securing some gaming time as a present and chipping away at RDR and might play through Dead Space 1 Sunday night so I’m ready for number 2. I need to be ready for number 2s to play Dead Space, right? … Depends I guess. (sorry, so so tired)

   LBP2 user created levels and some Minecraft with friends. A friend and I have designed and almost completed building a 50×50 Coliseum. It’s quite epic.

   Will be heading out to the Zoo I believe, so that will be a bit of fun…

   Gaming wise, will be playing through Little Big Planet 2… Upto the final world, been playing it off and on with the girlfriend in co-op mode and it’s been a stack of fun.

   We’ll probably be prize bubble/goodies hunting over the weekend and roping in some more friends for the 3x and 4x player areas. If there is time after that, will go back and start looking to Ace all the levels (which don’t seem as hard this time around so far).

   My Dead Space 2 is in the US so I won’t be playing till next week. 🙁

   On the upside, it gives me some time to explore all the game breaking glitches in Mass Effect 2 on the PS3.

   So far I’m digging all the out of sync dialogue.

         Nier is a long grind to platinum/get all the achievements as it takes 4 playthroughs, but an enjoyable game to play through once or twice 🙂

         Interesting story and characters.

         Nier is good fun once it gets going. The music is amazing. Story is decent but I haven’t finished soooo…

         Pokes fun at a lot of Genre cliches, there are a tonne of quests available, but they award you with pointless stuff.
         There is even a scene making fun of Zelda.
         The gameplay will change to suit certain parts sometimes like old Resi Evils and sometimes it goes to the old isometric view of RPGs of old.

         Theres a lot more going on than the majority have given it credit for.

    I am going to restart Dead Space 2 as my first attempt was combined with a conversation about ones day and dinner being cooked in the background. Not quite the atmosphere I was looking for.

    Going to clock up a few WoW hours I think.

    The majority of my time will be spent reading, after about a 6 month break I picked up Phantom (the second last book in the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind) and knocked it off over the weekend + Australia day holiday and now I’m adamant that this weekend will see me finish Confessor.

    I’ve had a good 20+ recommendations for series to go onto, and I’ve been tempted, but I refuse to move on before I finish what I started some 2 years ago.

    Dead Space 2. I’ll try and do something productive during the day then save the nights for playing, with the lights off and the sound up, the way that Dead Space was meant to be played.

    My evil plan has worked (Insert evil laughter here) *rubs hands together*

    I have to pay more attention to the tags also.. I love the manbike one!

    Here it is if you haven’t seen it. My son talking about Trials HD.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eO5Jx345Fg

    Not sure what i will be paying. I have actually been getting into Colin McRae DIRT again for some reason. It was actually a really good rally game.

    I also spent about an hour or so on Battlefield 1943. I have never really played shooters so i picked this up for 600 points last week adn i am enjoying it. Just need some friends to play with..

    Other than that, I am playing a bit of minecraft and will have another crack at a Kotaku Custom Trials HD map and I will save this one.

    Can’t pick up my Dead Space 2 CE until next week so I’ll probably keep banging away at Dragon Age.

    Might try to finish Bionic Commando: Rearmed if I have the time.

    Just got a brand new GTX 580 for the compy. It rocks. Need some good suggestions on what I can play to show off the tang. Deadspace 2 sounds like a good idea. Bad Company 2 looks great as well and I have yet to start bioshock 2 Any other thoughts on how to show off this monster card?

    If Dead Space 2 turns up, then I’ll play the hell out of that. If not then I’ll sink some time into Disciples 3. And that absorbs time like a black hole.

    Prior to this post I just completed Mass Effect 2. A bit late I know, but definitely the GOTY for 2010! Now all I want to do is start the story again and be an evil bastard this time.

    However, I will be spending the weekend at a mates house lanning. I think most of our time will be taken up playing TF2, CS:S and L4D/L4D2 – oh, and drinking plenty of beer.

    Looks like I probably won’t have to play the “having a baby” game this weekend, so it will be:
    – Trying to finish off Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood
    – Rising up the rankings in Super Meat Boy (now #197!)
    – Defending my time in Crash Course if necessary
    – Hopefully starting something new. This may or may not be Trials HD.

    Thus far my weekend (which started at 10pm Games Wise) has consisted of…

    Crysis 2 Demo, I’m up to Level 8 in XP and for one map it’s prety addictive.

    Assassin’s Creed (the first one) Saved every citizen in Acre, have two particularly nasty informer missions that I keep failing, may just ditch them and head straight for the assassination memory – it’s difficult to be stealthy when there’s an archer on every second rooftop and a crap-tonne of beggars getting in my way.

    Bulletstorm demo – yeah that was fun, love the “Time Displacement Field” as an excuse for slo-mo killing

    Next up – probably GTA IV some MP madness at the airport would just about hit the spot right now!
