   I think the vast majority of us are going to be too busy buying stuff of Steam to play anything 😛

   Actually just finished playing the MP Trilogy. Took me a few months on and off. They are all really great games, although number 2 is a bit tricky.

   Enjoy!

   I’ma playin’ Bioshock, first and foremost.

   Then it’s sort of a tossup between Fallout 3, Devil May Cry, and Metro 2033 or one of the STALKER games.

   SHAMELESS GAMING MONTH HOOOOOOO!

   Missed out on the Metroid Primes unfortunately. I’ll have to see what they’re like one day…

   Anyway, maybe weekend will be spent playing a combination of Ocarina of Time and getting through my back catalogue (starting with Donkey Kong Returns I think. I’m in a Nintendo mood. xD)

   ps. I look forward to your posts on Monday. They’ll happen. xD

      That’s good to know.

      I played about 4 hours of it, but that year was an amazing one for gaming. Got distracted by Assassin’s Creed, Bioshock, COD4, Halo 3, Uncharted, Mario Galaxy.

      Man – what a Christmas that was.

         Amen. It was a good year. Corruption takes a while to take off, but it gets REALLY good. I really liked the design of Elysia.

            When you mentioned Corruption, I thought you meant the old Amiga text adventure.

    Ocarina of Time for sure. I totally missed it first time around and love it so far (only about an hour in). I might also finish installing infamous and check that out too. Ah, finish Dead Space. Wait, Mario Galaxy is beckoning. Shit. Red Dead is on my desk taunting me. I don’t know what to do.

    I’m on a massive Zelda binge, so I’ll be playing Ocarina of Time 3D, and I’ll probably nab the family Wii to play some Twilight Princess, too.

    Majora’s Mask on an Emulator as well. Maybe.

    Going to finish off Beyond Good and Evil HD on 360 (haven’t played it since my PC version disappeared) then tackle Alice: Madness Returns now that I’ve played through the original.
    If I manage to polish those off I’ll take another stab at finishing LA Noire, which I put aside due to extremely extended gaming sessions, ie playing it into the next day when I had work in the morning.

    I finally have an entire weekend off so my shameless gaming will begin with Resistance 2. Saturday I’ve got some L4D2 lined up in the arvo. The rest of my gaming time will be spent plaing Blops on 360 – Double XP weekend! T minus 3hrs until my weekend starts! Hooray for an early shift leading into the weekend!

    I paid $100+ for a second hand copy at EB Games and promptly ripped it to an HDD and returned it.

    I don’t condone Piracy at all. I mainly use my HDD so I don’t have to swap discs and, on occasion, to play games I’m on the fence about.

    I would love to buy a (reasonably priced) copy down the road. Probably in HD on the Wii U

    This weekend… Might continue the Zelda kick and crack out Twilight Princess on the gamecube to see how it compares with its Wii counterpart.

    I’ve got the trilogy (I also have the GC Prime’s 1 and 2) but I got stuck in Corruption and never bothered seeing it through. It was the part where you have to fling those lever things with a “fishing” technique with the controller and the pirates kept flipping them back. Rage quit!

    Metroid Prime is probably my favourite gamecube game, great in every way. One day I’ll play those sequels too.

    Well I have my birthday party this weekend which will include copious amounts of alcohol, maybe even alcoholic ice cream, so probably not too many games.

    There is one I want to try after readinga about ‘beerio kart’ a mario kart drinking game. The original concept I didn’t like so much so I tweaked it a little. It involves a four player race on mario kart 64. At the end of each lap you have to put down the controller and take a shot, you can’t be touching the controller while taking your shot.

    First one to finish wins and gets to skip the 3rd lap shot as a prize. Everyone else still has to finish and do a third shot at the end of the third lap. Maybe I’ll even include a penalty for coming last, or for not finishing.

    * OoT 3D – just got a 3DS and I’ve never played the N64 original game, looking forward to it
    * Uncharted 3 beta
    * FFVI Advance
    * FFXII hunts
    * Super Mario Galaxy

    I’m rooting for Murray to win as well, Nadal will be very tough though. If he does make it through tonight, hopefully he’ll play better than he did in the final of the Aussie Open…

    It’s a good thing a grabbed that Metroid Prime collection on Wii (US tin case version) whilst it was still around.

    One check on ebay showing a price of over $70 for used means it’s already damn on its way to a collectors item.

    I’m still working my way through Infamous 2. Have been taking my time, stretching it out for as long as possible considering the new game dead zone coming up.

    Am also still playing Dirt 3, trying to finish up some of the events.

    I will probably play some Minecraft, I think 1.7 has now been released.

    If I get bored of all that, I picked up a copy of A-Train HX the other week, and I’m determined to learn how to play it enough to complete a scenario. I’ve also got replay games of Arkham Asylum and Fallout New Vegas to continue… hopefully I’ll have time for all or some of that!

    I’ve spent the night so far going through the DEMO’s on my 360 and the results are in

    Fancy Pants Adventures: Played it, unsatisfying platforming – DELETED

    MLB 2K11: Once I got to grips with the controls (pitches and swings all with the right stick) I decided that it was the most boring game I’d played – DELETED

    Dead Space: Fun mechanics, a little too gory maybe, its not for me – DELETED

    Red Faction Guerilla: A lot of fun, kept dying, but I enjoyed bringing down buildings – vastly superior to Red Faction Armageddon IMO, – DELETED but may consider a purchase
