What Are You Playing This Weekend

I have one of those family weekends where I have to spend time with family and not play any video games. Normally this would be fine, because I love my family (Hi Ben!) but… Trials Evolution! And Fez! WAH!

There is a silver lining, however. Quite often on family gatherings like the one, we’ll play games, and Trials HD is quite suited to ‘pass the controller’ shenanigans. It’s about time I got stuck into the Skill games, so this might end up being perfect.

Fez? It’ll probably just have to wait. Mass Effect 3… man, I don’t know if I’m ever going to finish that game…

What are you guys playing this weekend?

If I can get motivated, Demon’s Souls. If I can’t, I’ll keep going with my writing instead.

Coincidentally, I will also be dividing my time between Mass Effect 3, Trials and Fez. I plan to spend most of my time on ME3. Maybe even finish it if I get enough time.

Finishing off Rage, then some Uncharted 2 to wash away the bad taste Golden Abyss left in my mouth….ugh

  Bad taste? I just finished golden abyss and have started again, I loved it. Seems to be in keeping with the style of Uncharted 2 (the only other uncharted game I’ve played). but then again, I wasn’t that attached to rage, so maybe we have different tastes.

Gonna keep working through The Witcher (which is proving to be brilliant btw) so I can then go grab number 2 for 360.

Trials and BF3 will also receive their daily doseage aswell.

      At the moment every copy of Witcher 2 even Steam bought copies can get a free Gog copy as a ‘back up’ see Witcher Website for details. Just involves informing Gog of your Steam details so they can check for purchase.

For me its Trials, lot and lots of painful trials. And I’ll probably get a start on the Witcher 2.

On a side note. I also don’t think that I will ever finish Mass effect 3. There is really nothing that ii want to go back to it for. Too much focus on Combat and the combat system while better than previous ME’s is still horrible.

Mount and Blade Warband, the pure definition that high detail graphics over gameplay is important. Bought that game on sale over at Greenman gaming, and its awesome how fun it can be.

Might send an email to Harvey Norman asking where my games are, “still awaiting stock”… STILL!!!

Mass Effect 3 will be played this weekend and don’t really have anything else on the horizon in the short term.

Finishing off the main storyline of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend’s story mode before moving onto Agarest: Generations of War Zero, and probably checking out the SkullGirls demo and debating whether to wait for the SCEE PSN release or just go for it on XBLA. I also downloaded Juniper’s Knot the other day and am keen to “play” (It’s a visual novel) through that. My Pile of Shame is incredibly large so I will probably slot in some smaller time wasters here and there as well.

Tera’s open beta starts tonight, so I expect to be playing a fair bit of that. Maybe some SWTOR as well if I can motivate myself to log in. Also working my way through Disgaea 3 on Vita and I’m halfway into Corpse Party so I might finish that one first.

I will be playing Trials Evo attempting to claim back my times that you have no beaten Serrels.

Also may jump on for some RDR. I’m hooked on the MP at the moment.

I’m definitely on trial this weekend, probably mixing in some SWTOR. Supposed to be doing a gears marathon with a norwegian mate but she & I rarely seem to synch up with time so I’ve at least got horrifically hilarious motorbike injuries to fall back on

You’re a really cool guy Mark and i really respect your work but I think it was a bit rich to write your whole article about how mass effect fans need to stop getting angry about the ending for 3 when you can’t even be bothered to finish it yourself.

Oh and I’m playing MW3 campaign and bits of Arkham City to cruise about and track down riddles.
