Weekend Gaming - What's in your Queue?

Purple Santa · 10-17-2008, 04:57 AM

It's upon us again...another weekend! What's everyone playing? I'm guessing almost everyone is playing Dead Space or at least waiting for it from Gamefly (that's me

). Some Saint's Row maybe? Or are you waiting for LBP next week and doing some back log gaming (I see your hand raised Gorvi

). It's the weekend...go play

My games:
Sainst Row 2
Silent Hill : Homecoming
GH III w/Ms. Claus
Watching Ms. Claus play Viva Pinata 2
Time Hollow- a game that needs to be checked out who own a DS

Commissar Rob · 10-17-2008, 05:43 AM

Ach, this is a busy weekend. Friday morning (way, way too early) I'm running a 5k. Then I'm taking my son to a boy scout camp from Saturday to Sunday. Sunday afternoon is Iai and Kendo.

I'm tired just thinking about it...

But next weekend, I'm setting aside a nice block o' time for LBP and Fable 2.

EDIT: Okay, so next weekend no LBP. At least until the religious references get fixed. Soooo, maybe Dead Space?

Kelegacy · 10-17-2008, 05:47 AM

I hate Gamefly's turnaround time for me. They haven't even acknowledged I've shipped out games to them yet. I play games for a week, have a week without games. Play again for a week, then another week without games. I stagger the two titles I get from them, but even then I could ship games days apart and still wind up with two shipped back to me, in my mailbox, on the same date. Basically I've paid to play 4 games this month. That's not bad I guess, but it's not much better than renting at the store either. And no waiting.

Anyway, with my rant over, I may just go to the videostore tonight and rent Dead Space if I get no notification from GF today that my returned games have been received in their warehouse. I don't have anything new to play right now so I've been playing Blue Dragon some more. Might also put more time into Saints Row 1 so I can get around to playing the second eventually.

NoName · 10-17-2008, 05:52 AM

My Japanese Coach!

Plus Mass Effects, Rock Band, and going to the fair.

Fubl · 10-17-2008, 06:00 AM

Saints row 2
NBA 2k9
Start dead space
Finish GTA4 maybe

Sorry to hear GF didn't work out or isn't working out. I thought being on the East Coast and just waaaay north of where I am...you would of gotten the same great service I get. My turnaround is 2-3 days max. I didn't get Dead Space but that's a first not getting a hot title for me...I just want to know, where do you rent from? I would love to go into a place and pick up a hot title and play it...only Blockbuster by me and it's kinda small...although I haven't been in there in ages...maybe they stock games better now...

Play SR1. If anything it will keep you entertained for the weekend...I mean who can complain about driving around blowing stuff up, shooting etc etc...missions? what missions?

I have SR2...if you down the road want to borrow it just send me a PM...not sure if you actually want to own it or not...I think it's a better rental...I got suckered in for the pre-order goodies..the pre-order whore I am

Gorvi · 10-17-2008, 06:01 AM

As much Wild ARMs XF as I can get in. I'm about 42 hours in but I've still got at least a good 25 hours to go in the game. Not that it's a bad thing, not at all, I'm absolutely in love with the game. I had just hoped to finish it before Star Ocean: First Departure comes out, but that's not going to happen as that's next week. SO is just going to have to wait, I'm not putting Wild ARMs down.

FFXI should see a good bit of play, too. A friend who I'd been playing with since I started came back to the game after being away for over a year, so I'll be using the wonderful new level sync option to duo with his BST (currently 24). That should be a good way to get some merits and have fun. It'll be so strange, though, since I won't have Leave yet at that level.

I'd love to say that I'll get in some Disgaea 3, but I don't see that happening. Any time I get on the PS3 will more than likely be split between the Resistance 2 beta and the Motorstorm Pacific Rift demo. Man, that demo is fun.

aVaKus · 10-17-2008, 06:11 AM

Dead Space, Dead Space, maybe some Gears online, (might as well try to win that Gears 2 Edition 360) and more Dead Space. If you are still on the fence about this game, don't be. Take Fits' advice. So far, it is my GotY.

National Kato · 10-17-2008, 06:40 AM

Starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, I'll be gaming for 24-hours (see my sig)! So I have a metric shit-ton of games I'm planning on playing, including:

Dead Space
NHL09
Halo 3
Call of Duty 4
Tales of Vesperia
Burnout Paradise

...and about 6 more!

Mr. Murphy · 10-17-2008, 06:43 AM

I got the last two endings of Silent Hill I hadn't seen last night. I'm hoping to pick up Dead Space for the PS3 tonight, if not, I'll be playing WoW and Mass Effect all weekend. I missed ME the first time around and just got a copy of the PC version in the mail today.

Yeah, they see the games are going to Maine and are just like "Pfft, that's pretty much Canada, screw them." and wait around a few days to ship stuff out.

I actually had one game a month for a while, but that just got annoying after a while since I was waiting for games almost half the time.

Sonic Alpha · 10-17-2008, 08:17 AM

Nothing new on my playlist this weekend, just some CoD 4 and possibly some C&C 3 for the 360.

I might boot up Red Alert 2 for my PC again, and continue replaying through that in preperation for Red Alert 3.

Young Al Capone · 10-17-2008, 08:22 AM

Dead Space, Burnout Bikes pack and some Disgaea DS, most likely.

fitbabits · 10-17-2008, 08:29 AM

I would love to play (and finish) Dead Space, but thanks to Microsoft's hardware quality (or lack thereof), I'll be watching EPL action and waiting for my HDMI cable to show up for my PS3.

On a positive note, according to the lady at Microsoft my 360 should be back with me today or Monday at the latest. How they managed it so fast I don't know, unless they've sent me a newer model.

That sucks and I am sorry to hear it. If anyone should be playing Dead Space it is you.

LarsenNET · 10-17-2008, 08:30 AM

MGS3 and probably some Wipeout HD and Rock Band 2.

Callador · 10-17-2008, 08:34 AM

I reckon I'll pick up Dead Space after my DirecTV gets installed today (fuck you Time Warner!) and probably play that all weekend.

Drayven · 10-17-2008, 08:36 AM

I think most of this weekend will be spent playing a new title called "Oh crap, we procrastinated packing and now we only have 2 weeks until it's time to move". The game sucks but in the end I guess all the achievements are worth it.

They've really improved turn around on repairs recently. Mine took two weeks, but I've been hearing reports of some people getting theirs back after 7 working days

I think I am going to rent Dead Space.
