WEEEKEND! GAMES! You know what that means...we're gonna play them! Here's what the next few days looks like for us, and we want to know what you'll be playing. Give us some ideas, let us know what we're missing and make us feel bad about our choices!

 

Nick Henderson: "I have pushed my Dragon Age 2 playthrough to the background in order to get through Crysis 2 which has slowly but surely gotten it's hooks in me. The more I play it, the more I feel like this might be the feeling of power and agility that Bungie originally aimed to convey with Master Chief (What's that? Is that a post I smell?). I'll keep pressing forward through Dragon Age 2 as well but I would also like to find some time to pop in a certain XBLA title that will remain under wraps until we make a certain announcement in the coming weeks. I'm picking up my 3DS on Sunday but sadly I will playing some boring old 2DS games on it. I will be bed ridden for a day or so and I intend to pick up either Okamiden or Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box to get me through the lull."

 

Nolan The Intern: "More Dragon Age 2 for me, I am having fun with the sides quests and am getting into the characters stories. Should I start the main quest yet? However I will also probably dabble in some decapitate, sacrifices, electrocution, asphyxiation, evisceration, a few acceptable losses, and maybe spit on some graves. I am of course talking about Swarm on XBLA. I got super excited about the game PAX and with the free 1600 point card I got from a raffle I don't remember entering, I am gonna have a weekend filled with death and fun!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z61nlPbIKVM

 

Carlos: "Yo! This weekend I am going to finish up Crysis 2 single player and perhaps play two rounds of multiplayer (ew, it's so bad!). If all goes well, I intend to play some more Silent Hill 3 later on saturday. Otherwise, I really want to start Crysis 2 over on the HARDEST difficutly. I don't know why, but I think it should be really fun.  I saw Thief 1 & 2 at a thrift store for like, a dollar, but I didn't pick them up because I don't know if I'll be able to run them on Win7. I am researching that right now, and if it's not too much of a hassle, hell, even more games to my backlog. I've been feeling a big nostalgic so I'm considering also picking up that Red Faction Guerilla single-player DLC that I never tried out. Mhm. So many choices. Carlos out."

 

Joseph Christ: "I'll be moving this weekend so the only game I'm playing is the 'pack up 10 consoles and sift through the mess of wires they are attached to' game. I was, however, able to get in some Crysis 2 before tearing it all down and I'm loving the single player portion of that game. The gaming industry needed a good open-world style tactical shooter to balance out the droves of corridor shooters we've been getting.  The multiplayer is a different story. I don't quite care for it."

 

 

Brad Simons: "I'ma be playing some wicked sma(r)t games this weekend.  That Crysis 2 is wicked ha(r)d, but I think my ca(r) kicking strategy working nicely.  I'm falling pretty ha(r)d for Dragon Age 2, and there's a lot I want to talk about.  I can't wait for the Dragon Age 2 special.  Sucky Superman Sunday may have to be pushed back, but expect an Open Game Night to be coming soon."

 

 

David Liao: "I'll be playing Prince of Persia 2008, Dragon Age 2, and Okamiden. Possibly some swarm."

 

 

 

 

So what are you all playing this weekend? Sound off in the comments.

    I broke down and bought DA2 even though i promised myself i wouldnt. First day off in 28 days is going to be spent in kirkwall. I bought it after hearing brads reaction on the most recent podcast being pretty positive. Damn you brad. I hope its worth it. Cant wait to try out the Mk demo as well.

    Looks like it will be a lot of Dragon Age for me this weekend and next week (and likely the weeks after that...).
    - Dragon Age: Origins (Finish my playthrough of human female noble)
    - Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening (Restart my elven mage playthrough of Awakening)
    - Dragon Age 2 (I might get the game tomorrow, so after Awakening I will start to play it)
    - DAO: Witch Hunt DLC is a possible buy I will do.

    There's also a possibility I will play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

    Right now I am currently playing the AC: Brotherhood DLC

    Also, playing through Dissidia 012 Duodecuim and Parasite Eve 1 and 2. I am trying to get caught up before the release of The 3rd Birthday this week.

    I started Nier last week and it's pretty sweet so far. I'll be continuing it this weekend, as well as finishing up my EX playthrough of Parasite Eve.

    Yea, I'll also be trying some Dragon Age 2...... and maybe sum Crysis 2.....nahhh whom am I kidding. I'm gonna play:
    - Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, almost at the end, this game is so long. :<
    - Start Valkyria Chronicles.
    - LittleBIGPlanet 2, making levels.
    - Fortune Summoners, mercilessly difficult, fun, and...MANLY; really intense game dudes...with dragons, goblins, and shit. But never in your life will you get to play this game.....ever. Never.

    I've decided to go through Oblivion, and actually finishing the main story this time (it's so bad)!
    With a couple of nice looking mods, a menu overhaul and a graphical boost this game still can leave you wondering where the hours went. "I haven't been playing for 5 straight hours, have I?"

    I'm playing Pokemon White. Liking it so far, but I can tell there's going to be no replayability.

    Trying to 100% Mass Effect then hopefully start ME2. I'll also be playing the single players of Killzone 3, Crysis 2, and Dead Space 2. Also, thinking of buying a month of game time for Aion. Something is making me wanna play that game. And of course some good o'l TF2.

    If I get my PS3 hooked up to my monitor correctly, probably some Nier. Otherwise more Batman Arkham Asylum or BC2.

    I'm gonna be playing the game called reading. Just started A Clash of Kings and won't be surprised if it takes up a good chunk of my time. However, if I do find some off time I will more and likely finish up Parasite Eve and play some BC2.

    Received my order from Aksys's Japan Benefit Sale during the week and the games I got were BlazBlue: CS and DeathSmiles. Didn't have time during the week to play those, so I'm gonna get around to playing them now.

    Other games, I'm gonna get around to are:
    Dragon Age: Origins (A Paragon of her kind)
    Radiant Historia (Chapter 1)
    Pokemon: White (Just got my first gym badge)
    And probably some random games on the PS2 I've been meaning to get to.

    I just finished Ninja Blade this morning, I actually really liked the game, occasionally there would be a sequence I wouldn't enjoy (e.g 5 or 6 turret sequences), but it was a nice experience. I got Vanquish through in the post, so hopfully I will get through that over the next few days. I realise on the 4pp team there was some mixed opinions on this game, so it should be an intruiging playthrough for me, to see what works and what doesn't. Apart from that, I just have a huge craving to replay both the Saints Row games.

    The recent release of crysis 2 has led me to dust off the ol' farcry 2 and this weekend i will attempt to finish it. On top of that i need to be done with DA2, finish another playthrough of DAO a survivor playthrough of Dead rising 2, and hopefully we can get enough people together for a few rounds of red faction guerrilla.

    I'm half way through Ys II on Ys I & II Chronicles. I am NOT looking forward to the sewer maze (even though I've done it before, so I'm not above using guides). After that, I think I'll start the fan translation of Ys IV for SNES on my modded PSP.

    I'll be playing some Pokemon White, Yakuza 4 since I didn't get to play it or hardly any other games during the week, and The Sims 3. Maybe some LBP2, but I'm not sure.

    Broke down and bought Magicka(PC) on Steam so I'll be giving that a whirl this weekend.

    I've also managed to locate a copy of The Windwaker(Gamecube) again, so will finally put the last few dungeons to rest.

    Lastly, Dragon Age: Awakening and other DLC are also on my to do list... However I got a pretty good Monster Hunter Tri party going on and it keeps sucking my free time dry!

    I just downloaded FF:Tactics on PSN a few days ago and I'm already addicted. I can't see myself playing anything else for the next few days. (Maybe weeks, if I account for re-playability. :D)

    Starting a proper run-through of Dragon Age 2, when I first bought the game I rushed it pretty hard to finish before heading out to Boston.

    Other than that, I'm waiting for my GOTY edition of Fallout 3 to come from Amazon. And then I suppose I'll be raidin' the wastes like it's 2008.. ish.

    Ive really need to play Beyond Good and Evil HD which i bought weeks ago, but after finishing up Dragon Age 2 I had a urge to go back to Dragon Age: Origins and play as a mage (I played both as a rogue the 1st times.) So that has took up most of my weekends gaming so far.

    I'll be playing some TF2 and maybe some Dragon Age if killing dudes with guns stops being fun. It never does though. Might even pop in Valkyria Chronicles since my friend recently returned it to me and I still haven't finished it.

    My fiancée forced me to help with "Spring cleaning" and in the process I found my gamecube in a box in storage. Hooked it up for the first time in about 4/5 years, been replaying Super Mario Sunshine, PSO: Ep I & II and Eternal Darkness. All hold up absolutely amazing. When I'm done enjoying my trip down memory lane maybe I will bring myself to finish Dragon Age II, but if my copy of Wind Waker or Skies of Arcadia Legends turn up while cleaning I can safely say it will be on hold once again.

    I played Swarm last night, and tomorrow I plan to pick up a 3DS and have yet to decide whether to get Okamiden or Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, which looks rather interesting. I'm leaning towards Okamiden though.
