What am I playing? I’ll tell you what I’m not playing. The Destiny Alpha. Sob. I’ll tell you what I am going to play: EA UFC Sports.
I’ve only put roughly an hour into EA Sports UFC, but I like it. It’s one of those games I think I’d find it hard to not enjoy on some level, the kind of game I’ll probably put on when friends are over because it’s relatively simple and accessible and fun to watch.
But if I get time to myself? I have this idea that I might pick up on Wind Waker HD on the Wii U. I started playing this when it came out late last year, but I got distracted by… I think it was Assassin’s Creed IV. I still reckon it might be the best looking game ever made on any platform.
I’m also intrigued by Entwined, the indie game PS4 game that Sony showed onstage at E3. If I have time I’ll give that a bash as well.
What are you playing this weekend?

Trying to collect the last of the Titan Runestones for my lock on WoW while this 2 week buff is up.
Apart from that, loads more ArmA 3 Breaking Point with mates, as well as attempting and subsequently ragequitting trying to 3 star more 150cc cups on MK8.
Any time not doing these things will probably be more time on my PSP with FF Type-0 and yet another Peace Walker playthrough.
Ask Steam because only they know the answer to that one. Got 2 bargains already including Summoner though.
I’m going to try and squeeze in some of my backlog before the Steam sales absolutely destroy me. I still have to try out Big Bank for Payday 2 so that will happen.
Red Dead Redemption on 360.
Also picked up Unreal and Unreal 2 in the GOG sale so I’ll be playing through those too ^_^
Might play Elder Scrolls: Morrowind on Xbox.
I suddenly have the urge to mod a pc version and go nuts.
Still working on my project. But I’m nearing the end and might only need a couple minutes more of recording to do and to finish editing.
What is it?
Either tell us what the stinkin’ project is or stop posting about it every week and just tell us when you’re actually playing something.
Hopefully have finished off fully completing God Of War II on the PS3. Have been going back to 100% some of the backlog.
Vita, plugging away at MotoGP 13 and hope to be close to finishing that also.
The other game on rotation is PixelJunk Shooter on both Vita and PS4.
Gave entwined a go a day after it comes out, it’s a pretty game but gets old fairly quickly.
I picked up ufc yesterday, it’s one of those games that becomes more and more enjoyable as you begin to understand its complexities, ground game seemed so dense at first but I think I’m beginning to understand it now
Final Fantasy X HD and a mix of Demon Gaze and Etrian Odyssey Untold. Plus I’ll be playing the “When are the games I want on Steam the cheapest” game. It’s kind of like the stock market really.
More MK8. More Dragons Dogma.
PS4 finishing off Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. Wondering when I will get the Aveline mission…
PS3 finished Dragon’s Dogma and now into inFamous 2 evil playthrough. Enjoying it so far.
Vita , I’m 104 hours into my first P4G playthrough, just about ready for Christmas date with Yukiko or Rise…
Oh, so much gaming this weekend, I’ll start off with
Donkey Kong Country Returns (thanks to @jimu) If I get through that, I’ll make a start on Deus Ex: Human Revolution (thanks to @shane), a bit of Ricky Ponting Cricket 2007 (thanks to @batguy), and I’ll have to try and squeeze in some Mario Kart with TAYbies and some Dino Horde with @pixel_the_ferret_viking, @tigerion, and (maybe) @powalen.
I’ll be playing AC:IV, at least for a while, thanks to you, man! \o/
DINO SHOOTY SHOOTY BANG BANG! \o/
DK is quite hard.
Whatever I buy on Steam probably.
i am watching afl most of weekend then play nba2k14 hopefully battlefield 3 skyrim and black ops 1
UFC 2014, after 2 days of trying to get my GameFace working (I refused to start career until it was) I finally started my career last night, needless to say it looks nothing like me anyway haha. The TUF tournament/bootcamp you start on has already proven a challenge I imagine it only gets worse once in the UFC, like you mark it will be one of those games that come out when have friends over . Finished Watch_Dogs last night 98%….damn drinking games!
I’ve already bought it because I’m a UFC nut and will want it no matter what, but I’m pretty pissed at EA Sports for putting an embargo on reviews that last until AFTER the game is out and at the games media for respecting that.
IGN have had the game for long enough to review it but have said openly that they’re holding out for the embargo to lift. That’s disgusting when the product is on the streets and their own readers, who’ve been subjected to tons of hype through their own articles, are now able to freely purchase the game.
If EA have no faith in their own product (I’m sure it’s good but not great, that’s what the few early reviews have said anyway) then that’s their problem. I’m fine with companies putting embargos on reviews that may result on hype being lost because of a long delay between the review and the on-sale date (stopping the media from reviewing a month early for example), but once the product is being sold to anybody anywhere on the planet EA should be told to get f*cked.
Speaking of which, any idea when we will see a final verdict from Kotaku @markserrels ?

That review is super inaccurate.
I don’t think anything is inaccurate in it. What do you think I got wrong?
The Witcher, Professor Layon vs. Phoenix Wright, Pullblox World and maybe The Wonderful 101!
MK8
So much EA Sports UFC. I put a solid 6 or so hours in last night and really enjoyed it.
Finished up replaying Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty last weekend. This weekend it’s all about Snake Eater =3
More NBA 2K14 and EA UFC on the PS4
MK8 and EA UFC
Thief and Volgarr the Viking with ma sexually sexual new xbone controller
MK8.
Going to be out all day tomorrow but I’ve taken Monday off work to compensate. I will probably play the games we picked up via games with Gold (except Dark Souls because seriously I hate it, sorry) and maybe try and get back to Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. I should also try out Thief at some point, while it’s just sitting there.
South Park: The Stick of Truth.
(Thanks again, @quiz_b!)
Finish off a Link Between Worlds and hammer more Mario Kart 8 amd Wind Waker.
maybe start modding Morrowind on Pc too.
Picked up a Wii U super cheap in the week. Bringing it up to the Pilbara with me for two weeks on Sunday – going to plough through MK8, try Wind Waker HD and give Earthbound VC a go.
Probably continue slogging through RE4 because I want it to be what ticks me over 20,000 gamer score. Other than that, playing the steam sale restraint game and getting my pile of shame ready for july. Should be a doozie, I’ve got Ride to Hell: retribution, Aliens: Colonial Marines, NeverDead, AC3 and a few others.
Trials baby….. Tournaments have sucked me back in. And cross platform tracks too! And I would be downloading sixty second shooter for XBone if it was on the store…. like everywhere else in the world….. Hopefully this is not the start of oz not getting xbox one indie games….
Probably also mostly UFC.
Though I’m still chipping away at Watch Dogs, so I’ll probably squeeze in some of that too.
Have to fit Wildstar, League of Legends (finally going to promo out of silver) and CS:GO somewhere between a party to get rid of all our home brewed cider and promising to watch anime with the lady friend. Life used to be all about me, what the fuck happened.
Went lookiing through my backlog during the week, and tried out Crusader Kings 2. Still getting it figured out – first game could not have gone worse (as was to be expected), I gave my first 200G to a new Pope, declared war on a neighbouring county and lost (they attacked me and I didn’t know how to fight back), gave Leinster to my second-born son in a fit of idiocy (I could say that was to see what would happen so I could learn the mechanics… but it wasn’t), then lost Dublin to its inhabitants when they rebelled. I managed to get Dublin back, but my economy’s in the crapper, military is practically wiped out, and everyone around me hates me. On the upside, I married a French princess… unfortunately only getting daughters, who no-one wants to marry cos they all hate me, and who grow up to hate me too for not finding them husbands. /o\
I know I should restart, but I want to see how bad this can get… call it morbid curiosity.
Other than that… likely fetch quests involving steam inviting me to fetch my wallet…
No doubt much Mario Kart, but I also just bought Pullblox World so a bit of that as well. And plenty of watching of the World Cup. The WiiU’s off-TV play function has come into its own during this tournament!
I will be finally playing Day Z (standalone) with the Steam sales it was reduced only slightly but it was my excuse to buy it. I Cannot wait. Lets rob some peoeple pants whilest they are handcuffed! #YOLO #YIPPEKIYAY
