At this moment in time, I’m trudging through Pikmin. I say ‘trudging’ because I’m the absolute worst. I am constantly restarting days in this video game because I’ve become obsessed with trying to be as efficient as humanly possible. I think it’s just a throwback from the first game, which had a time limit.
But I’m loving the game so far. I’ve put about six hours into the main campaign. Hopefully I’ll be able to convince my wife to get back into it and play some co-op.
I’m also hoping to get back into Wind Waker HD. I stopped playing to focus on Pikmin 3 for a while, but I fully intend to go back to it because it’s so goddamn gorgeous.
What are you all playing this weekend?

BOARD GAMES!
Also Path of Exile and maybe some Rock Band if @Batguy shows up to board games with his instruments. Finding space for that in this apartment will be a challenge.
I played board games last weekend. It was surprisingly good – Ikusa (AKA Shogun) – even though we got one of the rules MAJORLY wrong 😛
This weekend I will be mainly partying…in my new GTA Apartment 🙂
Splitting time between BF4 on PC and WWE 2K14 on PS3…I might throw in some NBA 2K14
Probably nothing! Going to Supanova on Sunday, though.
Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate (on 3DS) is expected to arrive in the mail today so I might spend some time with that
Didn’t arrive. So this weekend I will go outside instead.
Dressed as Batman.
Bioshock infinite as a primary game I think.
Probably see if I can knock over my 100% run of Mark of the ninja. Maybe a little sang-froid as well
I finally just finished it… and eh…
Started Skyrim last night, so that.
You will be answering “Skyrim” for quite a few of these articles then.
Call Of Duty: Ghosts, I know I said I wouldn’t get it, but I was in the shops on Tuesday and I had $80 burning a hole in my pocket, saw it for 69 bucks and went screw it I’ll buy it. Only got 5 missions to go to finish the campaign on Veteran, then I’ll play a bit of the Extinction mode to knock out the remaining achievements before I trade it in for Lego Marvel.
Also, continuing with Batman: Arkham Origins, and some Battlefield 4 and GTA: Online, if I can fit it in.
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for me.
Man, this game is awesome!
Continue on my friend. Wii or Gamecube?
Wii. I just rescued Colin from those moblin dudes.
I’m soooo looking forward to getting a Wii U next year.
Getting one at Christmas. Wind Waker HD as a hold off until the next big Zelda in 2014/2015 hopefully.
TP was actually the first big game I played ever. It made my perception of games change forever. The nostalgia….and I’m only 16!
The ironic was that I really hated Twilight Princess when I played it the first time. I felt like I had to force myself to play it. But because it was over 15 years since I last touched a Zelda game (OOT when I was 17), I forget entirely what the game was like.
But since I remember all that now, I re-bought Twilight Princess and now I love every moment of it. LOZ truly is amazing.
I agree whole-heartily. The first Zelda is always the best personally because it opens your eyes to the series. I’m playing OoT now and although I do love it, it just doesn’t have the wonder the TP had for me. Have a good weekend 😉
I have revisited Super Mario Galaxy. 33 stars in so far and absolutely loving it. Realise I must have originally played it very drunk because I don’t remember a whole lot of it, so it’s like playing a brand new game. :p
So I plan to push on with that.
Also, for some unknown reason, I am tempted to buy CoD: Ghosts. Haven’t played a CoD game in years. Why am I tempted? Weird.
Oh, and the constant nag of Tiny Death Star will no doubt get some begrudging love as well. Really must delete that bloody tower. Either that or double my efforts.
Share your sentiments for both Tiny Death Star and CoD.
I don’t know why this CoD is actually calling me to buy it. Last CoD I played was Black Ops 1.
Tiny Death Star, i downloaded that a month ago in London to play when im stuck on train systems with no internet in Europe. I either have to delete it now or deal with my addiction to it.
GTAV mainly. This is the first GTA game that I actually feel compelled to undertake the story missions. Running around killing and blowing things up just isnt fun anymore.
I finished Ghosts… so I guess I’ll be playing Arkham Origins this weekend.
If I get time around work, uni and the Christmas pagaent.
Maybe the jack pack…
More Dark Souls. Defeated the Iron Golem last night. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
I’ll be playing Wind Waker HD in the middle of laying floorboards and watching the A-League/Premier League.
Mark, are you watching UFC Fight Night this weekend? Hendo v Belfort should be a cracker.
Sounds just like my weekend! Well apart from the laying of floorboards that is
I need to do as many household tasks as possible before the next gen consoles drop and I disappear off the face of the planet lol.
Many BF4 sessions broken up with finishing off GTAV.
Will finish Beyond: two souls, while i can see why its not liked by most, i am enjoying the story. Might also play a bit more gta v and get the rest of the sp trophies I am missing.
I’m going to be breeding and EV training my Battle maison team in Pokemon Y. Might throw in some Dark Souls as well since I haven’t done anything on it in the last few weeks. Probably have forgotten everything I had done so far
Last-minute assignment cram!
I’m playing the stay-awake-all-weekend-watching-the-live-BlizzCon-stream game
I haven’t played anything all week, so maybe I’ll pick up Dead Rising 2 again, maybe I will start something new. Maybe I will try GTA Online now that the stimulus package has dropped and I assume most of the jerk players have moved on to BF4 and Dog Ghosts. Kind of got an itch to play XCom: Enemy Unknown again before I get the Enemy Within DLC, too.
On the other hand my wife has seen two spiders this week, so I will probably just have to burn the apartment down.
I am three quarters through Dead Rising 2, progressively go back to it and beat down a few maniacs. Despite it’s obvious flaws (I hate the save system. I see the point, but I hate it, and, firearm combat is poor) it is damn fun
Finish the Enigma stuff in Arkham origins.
BF4 pc and finish GTA V campaign.
Still waiting for “The Last One” mission to unlock in GTA V – then I’m done. Then it’s a lottery to what I play next.
Gta5 online
gta 5, the wolf among us, the last of us (MP) and maybe start another run thru of SP
besides that there is always the pile of shame sitting there mocking me!!!
GTA Online, having a level 50 housemate that has access to well paying jobs makes such a difference and continuing my slow decent into madness with my pokemon team
War Thunder is really fun for me right now. Probably will also play some Skyrim and Pokemon. Currently training a perfect iv/adamant Gyarodos and an almost perfect Honedge
GTA Online (thanks for the cash Rockstar) & probably Rocksmith!
Wind Waker HD and Batman Arkham Origins. Getting close to finishing my first playthrough of Batman. Will probably continue straight into NG+
A little Dragon’s Crown probably, mixed with Guided Fate Paradox and Etrian Odyssey IV. I’ve also been feeling a little masochistic and want to finish They Bleed Pixels.
Wolf Among Us, and probably some Borderlands 2. I really disliked BL2 when it came out, tried again six months later and still found it frustrating, but played through the Tiny Tina DLC in a couple of days last weekend… absolutely loved it; with the exception of having precisely the wrong weapons for taking down dragons. Anyway, I figure enemies should be a little less bullet-spongey with the weapons and levels I picked up in the DLC, so I might be able to finish the main story at last.
New game from steam called, Nether
No idea. Probably some Wind Waker and GTA:O while the gf is off working on the weekend. I don’t have any Live coupons remaining, so I dunno what we’ll do to play GTA online together…
Phoenix Wriiiiiight! Why is noone else playing this, you’re all why we didnt get a retail release >:(
I didn’t realise a new one came out!
On 3ds! Eshop only, but still! It’s super great
SWEET
I like you
Staring longingly at photos of the PS4…. also Wind Waker HD if there’s time after all that.
I’ll clean up some Portal 2 achievements, then I’ll try and (finally) finish God of War Ascension. I preordered it and I still haven’t finished it… the damn HSC got in the road!
I’ll be playing Rocksmith, lets see if I can learn how to play the guitar
Hey Mark, what are you playing Pikmin with? The review on game trailers says it’s a lot easier to play with the wii remote etc?
BF4 followed by BF4. My eyes are going to hate me by the end of this weekend.
I’m continuing to battle the alien invader in X-Com: Enemy Unknown. Snipers are awesome at overwatch!
P3P – now level 40 about 2/3 of the way (I think) into it, and still loving it. Mitsuru went to the film festival with me ^_^
I’m going to continue playing my new Skyrim character. Also bought Persona 4 Golden cheap at JB HiFi so gonna get stuck into that too. Maybe play some GTAV if I have the time.
Starting my New Game + of Dead Space 3. The Dead Space games have always been in their element when played on hard in new game +, in my opinion. The customisation and upgrades in those games are insane, not to mention the difficulty. Plus I really enjoyed Dead Space 3, despite it’s more action-y slant. Co op worked better than I expected. Worth the time, anyway
Watching Insidious 2 with a few friends, waiting for Alien Vs Predator (2010) to install and maybe some Megaman 6 on the side.
