Weekend is here! That means it's time to talk about which games might make the...cut? Bam!


Joseph Christ:
Going to try to get through Catherine this weekend. Problem is, I'm not really enjoying the puzzle aspect of the game due, probably, to the horrible D-pad on the xbox controller.  The controls just feel horrible and the entire thing reminds me of what we would have gotten if satan had developed Q*bert.  *sigh* Maybe I'll just play more Deadliest Warrior with Carlos.


Nick Henderson:
 This week it's all about Catherine for me. Im almost done with the game and have been enjoying it quite a bit, a bit more than my peers on the site it seems. The game has it's problems but projects this unique don't come around very often. I'll have my full review up early next week. Other than that, I'm still playing through Bastion and Fallout New Vegas in my downtime. With all that on my plate, I wonder how I will ever find time to play Dead Nation? Or the even bigger question is when will I have time to bust out Persona 3 or 4? The social aspects of Catherine have convinced me to finally give those games a try.


Brad Simons:
Currently deciding between continuing to play Catherine or watching a Youtube playthrough of the game. I'm never satisfied at the end of a puzzle. The whole thing is a chore.  Other than that, I'm gonna play some Deus Ex, Duke 3D, and fighting the urge to get the 360 version of From Dust instead of waiting for the PC version.


David Liao:
Catherine isn't actually the game I'm most looking forward to playing this weekend. I bought From Dust and it came with a copy of the Maw so maybe I'll play one of those. Also I've been meaning to really get into Minna no Rhythm Tengoku. I'm really in a gaming slump since moving, maybe it's because this has been the greatest Idol summer in history. With great releases by AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, Berryz Kobo, PASSPO, SUPER GIRLS, IDOLING!!!, and SCANDAL there's other things on my mind. Maybe I'll rent Kinectimals or finish up Adrenaline Misfits. For some reason Kinect games sound the most stress free. I guess I have a couple weeks free to get this out of my system before El Shaddai comes out.


Carlos Ottino:
 This weekend more than playing games I set forth in a quest the likes of which no mortal man has seen before. I shall scour the abysmal depths of Craigslist, thrift stores and garage sales in search of joysticks and game controllers to built a super sweet retro gaming station.  As for actual games, I just re-caught some of that DJ Hero 2 fever and have been trying to five star every song on hard. Between you and me, I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon :(

    I'm finishing up Catherine and playing my first playthrough of Persona 3. Might start up Yakuza 2 once I finish Catherine. I've been on a ps2 roll lately.

    Joseph, you don't have to use the D-pad; you can just use the left analog stick...

    Finished Limbo tonight, not sure what I'll be playing for the rest of the weekend. Continuing my evil Fallout 3 run? Perhaps picking Bioshock up again? Or digging out Red Dead Redemption and/or Little Big Planet 2, after long, long breaks.

    Finishing up Catherine here. I enjoy talking around to people and texting, but it feels too contrived sometimes. Maybe I just suck at puzzle games, but I had to bump the difficulty to easy. Even then, I was still getting pretty damn frustrated. Shattered a power outlet when I threw the fuck outta my phone at it lol. The story's pretty baller though. That's really the only thing that's keeping me going.

    Heroes of Newerth just went free-to-play, so I am going to give that a try tonight and see how the game is. Other than that I have been leveling up and exploring Oblivion before I open the gates, so I will probably do some more of that this weekend. I will probably try to get a few matches of LoL in as well this weekend, especially if I am not really liking HoN.

    Resisting the urge to pre-order Saints Row: The Third because I feel like a deal will pop up sooner or later that is more worthwhile, we're still a really long way out but I'm starting to get hyped for that game.

    I'll be playing some Capsized since it was introduced to me on the feed and went on Steam sale today and probably some more New Vegas or some Oblivion this weekend as well.

    I'm playing Resonance of Fate! I was told it takes around 15-20 hours to complete..
    There are 16 chapters, I'm stuck on chapter 4, 21 hours into the game.
    *sigh*
    I am enjoying it though, but I haven't level grinded like this since FFVII.

    Sometimes I do think Catherine has control issues...well, I've died more than I can count because of said odd controls decision...but the game is refreshing in its more mature approach to decisions, story and (especially) themes.

    The game itself is one giant metaphor, and pretty much all very true - a little sad even. The moral bar that you see from time to time, I think, isn't even really supposed to be a true indicator of what is right or wrong, but an indicator according to the sort of plastic world of relationships and responsibility we have created for ourselves. The decisions you make are the black and white paths that we feel we can only choose within these tight spaces and blocks, so no middle choices are really given to us.

    You also begin to notice that inside this dream/nightmare world you get to see who Vincent really is...there aren't really restrictions or choke holds on his character. He's given an extreme situation of survival and his character is revealed to his full potential...of course it's up to the player to decide what his real intentions are. The sheep in that world are either the competitors or companions as he climbs trying to reach his goal.

    Well, so far I'm enjoying it anyway. I think I just beat stage 5 the other night...the ice stage. Probably nearly broke my controller on a few occasions, but it was nice to have a little challenge in my game for once. I wonder what they have in store for me in the next nightmare.

    oh and what am I playing this weekend...hah...uh...well obviously going to try to play some more Catherine.

    I recently got the humble bundle, so I ended up play VVVVVV the day I got it...I think I've almost finished it...got one more V person to find. Maybe I'll try out one of the other games that came in the pack.

    JUST starting to play the red dead redemption single player story, even though I bought it basically the week it came out. I'm Really enjoying it so far. The world feels alive, and I like that you have to (mostly) live with the decisions you've made. Everything just happens, and if you don't react fast enough, sometimes you missed your chance. Like the time someone told me that his friend was about to be hanged, and I got there - took out a few baddies, while trying to shoot the rope of his friend...but it was too late. -sigh- I tried. I think I've decided I'm going to be a good guy, but a bad guy when no one's looking. Like when I stole the deed of someone's land, out away from town, by killing the man, since I couldn't spare 200 dollars. Cool game...

    I bought Beyond Good and Evil off of the psn last week, but I haven't touched it for a while. I'm liking it though. I have all these newer games I'd like to play more of before this game though.
    yeah...

    Well I just finished Final Fantasy 10 so that opens up plenty of room in my schedule. I want to play more Tactics Ogre (hopefully finish it). I'm not sure how far I am in the game. I might start up Bastion, too. Other than that, I still need to play more Okami, start Metal Gear Solid 3, Deus Ex, and a lot of other games. I've got a ton on my plate.
