Weekend Gaming - What's in Your Queue?

It's a long weekend for some...that would be for the Canadians on here. So for those who are going to enjoy the long weekend, or for the rest just the usual two day break, what are you planning to play?

My plans include:

Silent Hill Homecoming: Just need some night time to begin...
Lego Batman: Why can't I just save anywhere and pick up from there?
GH II/III: Co-op with Ms. Claus I'm hoping...
Time Hollow/DQ IV: Handheld love while watching TV...

Probably not much. I hate these in between big release weeks.

If boredom does prevail however, I will probably play some Burnout and try to play more Clear Sky, but it's just lost all its flavor and fun.

Mega Man 9, Super Metroid, Kirby's Dream Course and Gunstar Heroes. It is a Virtual Console weekend for me.

Disgaea DS and the Bikes pack for Burnout Paradise might get some play time as well.

Gonna try to finish Silent Hill 2. I need to go out and get a hair cut tomorrow. I'll probably pick up some horror movies at some point.

That's pretty much it for me, this week.

Rock Band 2 party tomorrow. Not sure what's on my agenda tonight. I think I might fire up BF:BC.

I will be playing a little more of the LBP beta, and likely some co-op Crackdown, Army of Two, or some such.

I'm going to a friend tomorrow and we'll play a ton of Fifa 09 and NHL 09. I'll try to play some WipeOut HD sometime during the weekend.

Heading to the in-laws for the weekend and will finally get to see my kids, who, in a perverse sort of way, I kind of miss after not seeing them all this week.

Gamingwise, I just picked up Silent Hill: Homecoming on the 360 but won't get to fire that bad boy up until I get back on Monday. I've got my PSP with me and will likely keep chunking away at Jeanne D'Arc. I spent most of the last week working on it and can't figure out why I never got into it despite it being the game that I bought my PSP to play! Oh, wait... FFT:WoL came out... that's what did it.

I'm tempted to snag Sonic Chronicles for the DS, but will resist for now. I've got my DS and PSP with me this weekend so we'll see what I play. I also have my laptop with my new game of Fallout on it, so we'll see if I can't get a job with the caravans in The Hub.

Probably a little bit of a few things: WipEout HD, Disgaea 3, and Wild ARMs XF.

I'm torn as to whether or not I want to play the LBP beta more. On the one hand, holy shit the game is fun. On the other hand, I'd almost rather save it for the retail release.

I'll probably play a bit of Audio-surf, keep chugging away at Prey. And play some more co-op BGA 2 w/ the wife.

Beating Army of Two tonight before/after/during the Red Sox game. Beers, videogaming, and the game. Great night. Same goes for tomorrow night...Sox and Rays again.

When and if I beat it, I'll be sending it back to Gamefly tomorrow. It was a decent game, nothing special or great. In the meantime I have Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements from Gamefly to playthrough, as well as the surprisingly fun (for me anyway) Alone in the Dark that I bought from GoGamer for $9.90. I'm 3/4 through the game so far I think. Some wonky controls, some bugs, but a lot of adventure fun for me.

Long weekend for me, starting today! Took today off instead of Monday

So, other than lots of NHL 09 and real hockey watching (well, watching me play NHL 09 is like a real hockey experience! :P), I'll be trying to tackle my backlog.

I finally hope to finish HL2: EP 2, might try out Blue Shift, finish off Dark Messiah of M&M, and whatever else I can think of. I really feel a PC weekend coming up

I need to finish Brothers In Arms so I can trade it in Tuesday. I have a bit more to finish in Pure before sending it back to GF. Definitely some RB2 in there as well.
