Another weekend! Another chance for us to sit down, get those controllers in our grubby hands and catch up on some pixellated crack! Here's what we're doing this weekend.
Nick Henderson: "I will continue to plow through Dragon Age 2 but this week is a week for multi-tasking. I am responsible for reviewing Crysis 2 so I will pop that into my 360 on Tuesday. Both of these games are a bit of a time magnet so I can't imagine myself playing anything else except maybe the Mortal Kombat demo that hit XBLA/PSN recently. I have high hopes for Crysis 2 and I am hoping that it fills that FPS void that Bulletstorm didn't quite fill. "
Nolan The Intern: "I finally started playing Dragon Age II. I was too busy to play when it came out, but as soon as I started I played for 6 hours straight, and I plan to keep it up. I also got back into Magic the Gathering after 12 years of being clean, and I bought Magic: The Gathering — Duels of the Planeswalkers on XBLA so I'll be playing that as well. Hit me up and we'll have a duel."
Carlos: "Dude. This weekend I'm finishing up dat Heavy Rain. Kinda cool but if it really was what it tries to be (a movie) it would only be good with the MST3K treatment. Don't believe the hype. Also I hope to pick up Homefront again; I'm about 3 hours in so I should only need like 15 more minutes with it. I will be in Houston for Anime Matsuri on Saturday so I probably won't get around to trying my just purchased Parasite Eve on PSN. That game looks like butt. No use trying to justify it. Just straight up butt. As usual, a round of Blops here and there and please, please, please, life, spare me some free time so that I may go back to Vampire: Bloodlines. Carlos out."
Joseph Christ: "Ill be trying to finish up Dragon Age 2. I'm still a bit "meh" on the game as far as it's standing as a sequel goes, but I've found myself sucked into the story and invested in my main character. I'll also be working on my PS2 backlog. Eternal Poison is an old Atlus game I've had for awhile but have never gotten to. It seems like an isometric fighting RPG (Final Fantasy Tactics style) with a Gothic-lolita look. Sign me up!"
Brad Simons: "ima play games"
So what are you all playing this weekend? Sound off in the comments.

I recently picked up MvC3, and have been just addicted to the MK9 demo on PSN. That will occupy most of my weekend, and trying to get 75% competition in Just Cause 2.

I just picked up Final Fantasy 7 and Killer 7 so I'll be playing the crap out of those, and hopefully get through Prey. So far I'm liking all those games!

There's a Left4Dead2 tournament going down on Sunday, so it's a zombie weekend for me.
13 years, 8 months ago
I was playing the bouncer, but that game started to piss me off. So now I'm playing MS Saga: A New Dawn and now I'm thinking about giving illusion of Gaia (my favorite game) another go.
Thank you Testsubject909 for the recommendation of Ogre Battle! I would have thanked you way earlier, but I'm just a quiet viewer.
13 years, 8 months ago
Getting back into AC: B but more for the multiplayer at the moment. I guess I'll also be playing some MvC3 and Pokemon Black.
13 years, 8 months ago
I'll be playing Deus Ex and if I'm really bored I might try broadcasting some random shit.
13 years, 8 months ago
I'm going to try and plow through Dragon Age: Origins so I can get to Awakenings, then get to the Golems of Amgarrak DLC, then get to the Witch Hunt DLC, then get a full save import into Dragon Age II. I have a lot of Dragon Age left in my future.
If I'm not running around the age of dragons, then I'll be playing Team Fortress 2 and some Star Trek Online. My STO subscription expires in a couple of days and I'm way to busy trying to finish Dragon Age to play an MMO so I won't be renewing anytime soon, and that makes me sad.
13 years, 8 months ago
Hopefully some more Just Cause 2, and Bad Company 2!
13 years, 8 months ago
I'll be playing Mass Effect 1... while everyone else is playing the latest games. Retro ftw...
13 years, 8 months ago
Since Steam was so gracious as to sell Darksiders for ten dollars this weekend, I will be playing through a chunk of that and other misc. games that interest me.
13 years, 8 months ago
Going to try and start up Fallout New Vegas again, not as appealing as Fallout 3 but I want to play through it.
13 years, 8 months ago
Agreed on the first part of your statement.
13 years, 8 months ago
Downloaded Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light when it was on sale a week or two ago, going to hop on that with a friend.
13 years, 8 months ago
So I spent today playing James Bond Bloodstone. I have to agree that this was a really great game and if Bizarre Creation's hadn't been shut down, they were meant to make a sequel. The setpieces were amazing, especially some of the driving sequences. Sure mechanicly it wasn't anything remarkable, but I came away from my playthrough really impressed and I had a lot of fun.
Over the next few days I want to start Ninja Blade, I actually heard a lot of positive opinions on the game, even though recently for some of the quicktime event discussions, some people have been negative on it. I haven't played Dead Frontier for a week so I need to start playing that again, I believe last time I was on, I was a level 13 scientist. So finally that leaves me with some minecraft, I have just installed a Zelda texture pack so it is time for some more adventures.
13 years, 8 months ago
Finally started on Chrono Trigger. It's really fun! I mean, I put it down for the moment to finish up the homework and spring cleaning that I've supposed to been doing, but hey. It's easy to play for a bit and put down, even though it is great to just play for a while.
13 years, 8 months ago
Just got myself Just Cause 2 from the infamous games on demand thing, so I'll be playing through that, I also have marvel vs capcom 3 and Dragon Age 2 on the shelf which I'll be playing when the thought of playing doesn't bore me so much :/
13 years, 8 months ago
My PS3 just yellow lighted, but I did the blow dryer technique and brought her back to life. I'm scared of even turning my PS3 on. :( but I'll try. I really want to keep playing Dragon Age II and finish up on the third and fourth endings of Nier. I would play on my 360 but....ahhh I can't find the motivation to do so. Is that bad?
13 years, 8 months ago
homefront, the multiplayer is surprisingly fun. even though graphics are poopie. what matters is having fun, just pretend call of duty doesn't exist. :P
13 years, 8 months ago
I'll be playing through yakuza 4. Starting fresh with it, been a hectic academic quarter so it's my self-reward. Also may play through parasite eve, seeing how I got it from the psn. Maybe fit in some xenogears. My spring break just started so I get to catch up on alot of games I held off on, during my winter term.
13 years, 8 months ago
I want to get some hitman gaming done this weekend darn it! I've been craving it for weeks!!
13 years, 8 months ago
AC Brotherhood leaked for PC, so I'm playing the shit out of that. Also gonna play some PB Winterbottom and maybe some Baldur's Gate.
13 years, 8 months ago
I've been playing Fallout: New Vegas since I decided to get it instead of Dragon Age 2. Moderately modded, including a mod where you can join the NCR and the Project: Nevada mod, Probably tonight I'll start a new character that specializes in energy weapons and science.
13 years, 8 months ago
Well after work tonight I plan to play Bulletstorm, Homefront and The Sega Genesis Collection (all 360 versions)
13 years, 8 months ago
I've played mostly NieR and on the side, I'm close to finishing Super Meat Boy and still hacking that Assassin's Creed multiplayer, upgraded by the DLC. So, fun is being had to say the least!
13 years, 8 months ago
Just prestiged in Black Ops :P
Just finished the free indie bible rpg pc game The You Testament
Sealing my first Oblivion gate in Elder scrolls...good weekend? :P
13 years, 8 months ago
Unlike Carlos, my weekend's pretty much devoted to rocking through my just purchased Parasite Eve, of which I'm currently 10 hours into. If I get through it, then I'll jump back into Sly 2, get onto my just purchased VanQuish, or maybe just try to settle in with the Dragon Age DLC that I got along with VanQuish.
13 years, 8 months ago
I *should* get around to finishing DA2 but I don't wanna. Instead I'll be working on my steam backlog, both DeusEXs, some dawn of war 2, maybe a bit of left4dead2, I might mess around in Stalker S.O.C, might hit up some Red Faction Guerrilla, And finally I could get a bit further into The Witcher if i feel like it. On the console front I have Yakuza3, Dead Rising2, Bulletstorm, might try to finish The Saboteur, If i can get a party together I'll play borderlands, and if all else fails i might try to progress in Dragon Age 2, or i could go outdoors or something.
Holy crap that's a big list, I should better get started.
13 years, 8 months ago
Well play some mvc3 (i cannot beat those people who playing ranked to save my life). AC:B multiplayer. I didnt realize on how the multiplayer can be so much fun when you have a group of people you can just joke around and kill people (no pun intented).
13 years, 8 months ago
Ys I & II Chronicles on PSP. I've already beat the Turbo CD version of Ys I & II on Wii, so I'm just going to blow through on Easy.
I also got The Calling (Wii) and Killer 7 (PS2) from Gamefly sitting here.
13 years, 8 months ago
I plan on beating Mass Effect 2 on insanity. Or rather I plan on attempting to beat Mass Effect 2 on insanity.
13 years, 8 months ago
I'll go back to some old games on the PS1 like FF6 and 9. I'm also going to try and finish Brave Fencer Musashi. Good weekend times are going to be had.
13 years, 8 months ago
Started Heavy Rain, and plan to play more Beyond Good and Evil
13 years, 8 months ago
Just picked up Ys: Oath in Felghana and Ys: Seven so I'm probably going to dedicate most of my free time to those.
13 years, 8 months ago
Gonna be playing through the rest of the Dragon Age: Origins Awakenings expansion, some Halo: Reach multi, and a game that just came out recently called Venetica. The game is horrible, but I plan to finish it.
13 years, 8 months ago
Well, finally got a copy of Bad Company 2 :D guess thats another 100 hours of my life
13 years, 8 months ago
Alright! I should try and get through Dragon Age 2 a little more so I can watch Brad's broadcasts a little more freely. At least just progress a little more.. x-x
13 years, 8 months ago
Playing Total War: Shogun 2 and Rune Factory 3 this weekend. Any word on if Rune Factory Oceans is coming state side? If my Wii played Japanese games, I would have imported it by now.
13 years, 8 months ago
My main focus right now is Yakuza 4. Still have Tactics Ogre to finish, and Persona 3 and 4 to play through after that.
13 years, 8 months ago
im forcing myself to learn the shmup genre, namely bullet hells. so for a few weeks now ive been learning the touhou games. gonna keep playing touhou 12 for now.
13 years, 8 months ago
Just played some BC2 multiplayer, but I really wasn't feeling it (my team wasn't all that good) so I quit. I played some more Rock Band 3, you can only play so much before you go nuts. I was hoping to pick up my Homefront copy today, but I couldn't. Hopefully I'll be able to get it tomorrow, but we'll see. I might start up KZ3 tomorrow, but I really want to beat KZ2 first, but it's infuriating me to no end. There's a bunch of other stuff I should be playing, but I know I wont get to (like Episode 1 and Enslaved, both of which I'm on parts I just don't want to play through). I think that's it, but I'm probably forgetting a bunch of stuff.
13 years, 8 months ago
Cool that this post gets a lot of comments. Its great to know whats on the communitys mind sometimes.
Well I finished ilomilo last night so thats sort of the weekend still. I might be starting Beyond Good and Evil HD or Dragon Age Origins. Or I might try installing Homefront. Although it says it will take 6 hours. So ya probably not.
13 years, 8 months ago
ima play games
13 years, 8 months ago
Two words: Vagrant Story
13 years, 8 months ago
Dusting off "Final Fantasy Tactics" in an effort to finally finish it.
13 years, 8 months ago
I just picked up Ninja Gaiden Sigma out of impulse, I'm really enjoying it. It has a surprisingly deeper combat system than I expected. I'm not ready to say if I think it's better or worse than Bayonetta or DMC4 yet, but the gameplay is lightning fast and I really like balancing essence collecting and doing ultimate attacks; there is kind of a strategy that goes with it that makes it really satisfying.
13 years, 8 months ago
I'll be finishing OkamiDen, likely play through it again. Finishing Tactics Ogre, and some leisurely minecraft to finish the weekend off.
13 years, 8 months ago
Playing Yakuza 4 non-stop. Definitely one of the most criminally underrated series. Playing Yakuza 4 is just plain fun, and I always feel like I'm enjoying myself, which is more than I can say for a lot of games, even ones I've genuinely liked.
13 years, 8 months ago
Playing through Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Loved AC2 so, even if there aren't a ton of fresh beats in it, still enjoying Brotherhood a lot too. About 15% in...I'm liking both the touches of character they're trying to bring into the future-day 'Scooby Gang' and opting to swing around a two-handed sword instead of Ezio's usual finesse swordplay!
13 years, 8 months ago
I'm currently in a game-rutt, with little to no desire to chomp away at my console games...but with that being said, I'm working on wrapping up Nier on 360. I pushed Killzone 2 into the PS3 in an attempt to spark something to get me out of this rutt, but that failed horribly. Man, FPS games of that mold are sooo boring and 2D in story.
I've mostly been spending my time laying on the couch with my beloved DS. I've been swapping cards for that lots, playing Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, N+, Henry Hatsworth, & Layton and the Diabolical Box.
Oh, and I pushed Dragon Age II aside for Plainscape Torment. I made myself a rule; No DA2 until I finish Plainscape. I'm pretty sure Plainscape's a better game still, but I'll hold my judgement till I've wrapped em both up.
13 years, 8 months ago
Was going to get DA2 but decided not to buy it. Ive decided not to soil my good memory of origins with the castrated sequel. Im stuck at work so mostly be playing infinity blade on my iphone and maybe chaos rings.
13 years, 8 months ago
Monday night combat all weekend. It's not bad, I also picked up Darksiders since it was on sale and I regretted not picking it up earlier. Very excited to be able to game throughout the week as well, finally!
13 years, 8 months ago
Finally beat Dragon Age: Origins after 100 hours of playing! I feel so accomplished. :) Thinking about whether or not to get Dragon Age 2.
13 years, 8 months ago
What Brad said.
Well, more specifically, I'm playing through Parasite Eve right now.
Nier is next on my plate.
13 years, 8 months ago
Creeper Brad face is creepy
Im gonna try and push onward in Nier
13 years, 8 months ago
Almost 20 hours of Pokemon White over 3 days.
13 years, 8 months ago
Haven't had the time to play much this weekend due to work and then essays for school. But managed to fit in a few games of Halo:Reach and then ploughed through the dailish elves and the landsmeet sections of Dragon age:Origins in one sitting.
Also managed to get a few hours of minecraft in so i could build my underwater house
13 years, 8 months ago
I love how everyone's giving elaborate descriptions of what games they're playing and what they feel about them, and Brad is just like "ima play gaems" while giving a silly thumbs up.
Stay classy, Brad.

I'm currently obsessing over Tactics Ogre.
It reminds me so much so of Ogre Battle and that small portion I played on the Snes (never played much of Tactics Ogre. At the time I was far too endeared towards Ogre Battle to accept the drastic change).
I'll also be doing a few other games when they come my way, Dynasty Warriors 7 is going to be plowed through the moment I have my hands on it and aside from that...
I'll have to add to Joseph that... Eternal Poison. Lovely game, but, unless I'm mistaken from what I played, there's one grave flaw.
You. Can't. Skip. The. Fucking. Battle. Animations...
They're small 3D animations that loads up at every attack, which slows down the pace of combat heavily. It's quite annoying.
13 years, 8 months ago
I played Brawl with my crew YES SMASH BROS., and I played ummm Fat Princess while I was chilling with them. Other than that I played some Oblivion, and Balloon Tower Defense 4 on my phone.
13 years, 8 months ago
Lots of League of Legends. Minecraft. Maybe some Black Ops if I can get it without using my own money. I just KNOW I will regret buying it once I see that it's as horrible as MW2, but the tempting allure of the original Modern Warfare is a lot to fight off.
13 years, 8 months ago
Sad to say that I was not able to play any video games this weekend. Caught up on sleep and worked on a model kit all weekend.
I did watch the charity marathon that Elder-Geek.com was doing
