What Are You Playing This Weekend?

After watching Batman: Under the Red Hood, my PlayStation 3 has been busy playing other DC Universe Blu-ray movies. I’m going to keep going with the PS3 this weekend. Hopefully I can make some progress in Final Fantasy XIII. I haven’t played the game in so long that I have no idea what chapter I’m in. Oops. I’m probably going to pick up some games from Sony’s PSN summer sale; echoshift and Lunar: Silver Star Harmony are calling to me. I’ll play some echoshift now, but I’ll probably save Lunar for the end of the month — there might be another super secret project in Asia for me.

How about you people (what do you mean you people?) What’s on you weekend playlist?

  1. I have no idea what I'm gonna be playing this weekend.

    I'm probably just going to be helping my son with the new games he's getting today. I bought him 3, SMG2, MUA2, and Wipeout (I'm confident he won't read this today before he gets them).

    We also got him some legos and one of those Nerf Marauder swords and whatever Nerf calls that battle axe (has anybody seen these things and said "God, why couldn't Nerf have made those when I was a kid" like I did?)

  4. I'm hooked on the single player of Starcraft 2. Will play some WoW as usual.

    I got Book of Eli in from Netflix so I need to watch that.

  5. Just bought Just Cause 2 and since I played it on my old console I am starting over. Also picked up Star Wars the Force Unleashed for $10 new. Going to probably pick up Singularity today also for $40.

    So I have a full weekend of games that are just good enough to hold my attention but not good enough to pay full price for or probably pick back up again.

  7. Split/Second, and Far Cry 2 are on the final play list, but I might get Limbo and or the new Castlevania and or Hydro thunder (love this game).

  8. FF13 most likely i'm on chapter 5 but i haven't the slightest clue how much longer i have. This has been a great change of pace game. I was getting kind of motion sickness with SMG2.

  10. Watching Cop Out and Defiance. Playing Toy Story 3 (probably gonna end up buying this for my fiance, I think she will love it…I know I do) @N8R is that what you meant by "3" on your first post? If so I think he will like the game a lot. And if not, well then I recommend it. Also, I think that about Nerf stuff all the time and LEGOs too, but it's no secret I love LEGOs.

    Trying to figure out what else to play with no internet (getting it next Wednesday, can't come soon enough). I'm dying to play some TF2, but maybe I will play some Half-Life 2 instead sometime. I'm also thinking of picking up Episodes from Liberty City for a few days from the video store. Once I get my internet back I will be picking up MW2 so I can finish up the spec. ops missions since that is all I have left.

    Send me something @soulreaper5000 on twitter if anyone has any other gaming suggestions as that will be my biggest form of online communication this weekend.

  11. @ Ray

    It is brilliant.

    Like my parents before me, I am jealous of my kids' toys (sigh).

  12. @ Bsu

    Dude… there's a Nerf sniper rifle as well now. It shoots like 50 feet away or something like that.

    I fear my son will shoot his sister at close range with it though… so that one is gonna wait a few more years. What I really like about the broadsword and battle axe, is that they can go in the pool… and they float.

    Nerf just kicks ass.

  14. @lost fans

    you have to look at this leak of the epilogue extra from the Lost Blu-ray. i hope it's still up.

  15. @ Nerf

    Wow Im totally jealous of these things now. Should I even dare to google super soakers?

  16. I'm almost done with the "Gold Star" achievement in Ballad of Gay Tony (I just need to 100% three more missions). It's a really great challenge for fans of GTA IV. After that, I don't know. Maybe try out Braid or some Halo 3 multi player. I have Bayonetta and Fallout 3 sitting on the shelf just waiting to be opened, but those games I feel that are going to take a huge time commitment from me.

    @Smartguy;

    I heard that "Book of Eli" sucked. I was curious, but I don't want to waste my time. Let me know if it's any good.

    @Redtailman;

    Do you play MW2 on the PS3 or 360?

    @Bsukenyan;

    Did you finish MW2? What did you think?

    -M

  18. @smartguy

    no problem. why did the show have to end! especially with these epilogue teasers!

  20. @ Iceman

    I played Bayonetta at PAX East this year and I got through about 3 stages in about a thirty minutes, I can tell you that the feeling I got from playing it is that the later stages are probably not too easy.

  21. @ Iceman

    I liked Book of Eli… but I'm pretty weird. In fact, watching that movie made me play Fallout 3 again with a character that resembled Denzel.

    @ tokz

    That was cool. I'm hoping for a "post island events" spin-off with Ben, Hurley, and Walt… or a Sawyer and Miles detective drama.

    "A wise-cracking undercover detective and his partner who talks to dead people"… it's like it was meant to be.

  23. @n8r

    i thought it was cool as well. it makes me think that a spin off with ben hurley and walt would be good. i would watch it. the buddy cop one does seem like a good one too but they killed that possibility with the way the show ended.

    @book of eli

    i thought it was okay until the end of the movie. the twist was good i never saw it coming but it made me question some things in the movie then.

  24. 1. My wife and I will be driving down to Indy Sat night to see Video Games Live. This is our second time seeing it, so I'm looking forward to that.

    2. Speaking of Bayonetta, a guy at work just sold me his copy for $5 last night, I'll probably check that out sometime this weekend. Other than that, I'll probably put my usual time in on BadCompany2 mp, and some Batman:AA.

    3. You haven't seen 'Book of Eli' Ray? If I had never played Fallout3 I still would've liked it, but I think I enjoyed it more because I had.

  31. @Smartguy- Good to hear! I even asked the guy if he was sure that's all he wanted for it and he said yeah. I kinda feel bad, like I'm stealing from him, but, you know, I wasn't gonna argue with him TOO much, hahaha!

    @all you fine people- Anybody else here been to a VGL show? If so, whatd'ya think?

    (is that even a word-'whatd'ya'?)

  32. @Redd

    If I remember correctly you are a ps3 only guy, so if the version you bought is PS3 only then the load times are quite long, so that might have lead to your friend's disenchantment and bargain price. That said, the game offers fun, fast, and at times super difficult gameplay.

  34. @N8

    Nerf rules, back in the day the bow and arrow was the ish!!

    @Tokz

    I thought Book of Eli was a little predictable in the Sixth Sense kind of way. Wait until the very end to reveal the shocking mind blowing twist, which was a little overrated I thought.

    @Redd75

    How was Video Games Live? I would love to go to that sometime.

    @Iceman

    I finished MW2 about a week ago now. The story wasn't too bad, the difficulty really wasn't too bad except for the assault on Makarov's safe house. That was the only part I had to spend a prolonged period of time trying to beat. The controls and game play where mostly what I expected from a CoD, which is refreshingly nice compared to some of the other games I have been trying to play recently (it is hard to play some games from a few years ago because we have come so far in control ability and I don't want to regress). The story was a nice tie-in from MW1 and I liked how parts of it turned out (rescuing prisoner 627 from the Gulag specifically). The ending was so similar to MW1 that I wish they would have done something a little differently this time around, but whatever, like was discussed in the Activision post they are not really trying to do new things with some of these games.

    I will be getting this game again sometime soon once I get another paycheck and our internet in the new apartment so that I can finish up the Spec. Ops missions (so far I've 3 starred the few I have played…a couple of the driving missions and one or two of the wave survival missions).

  36. @ Thundercracker

    I studied illusionism a while back to help my stage presence… and it did. I became more aware of angle people could see me from and stuff like that.

    Anyway… I'm fairly confident there are 2 Criss Angels… i.e. twins. If you pay attention, they even look slightly different. Regardless, some of the things he does pretty much requires it.

  37. @N8

    I always loved the bow and arrow or the little pistols. I had my reload down pat and everything, fastest gun in the midwest. Or at least northwest Ohio. haha.

  38. @N8/Criss Angel

    That would make sense for some of his stuff.

    I don't like watching most magicians/performers, whatever you want to call them, and I would agree Criss is pretty much a douche. But I did always like his one performance where he was in a mall at his friend's art shop. Went to the picture of a poker table and took cards out of the painting to do tricks with, then put them back in and took the money, and also took out the martini and drank that before putting the glass back in the painting (empty this time) and they took the picture off the wall at the end and he paid for it with the money he took from the painting. That's about the only trick I have ever really liked by him.

  39. @ Bsu

    Notice that the painting was very similar in size and shape to a flat screen tv… and they never let you see the back of it when he pulled it off the wall.

    His friend the artist was in on it.

    The glass was actually a collapsible rubber/plastic. The liquid inside wasn't even liquid. If it was, it was sealed inside said rubber/plastic and he turned it as he drank it.

    He palmed everything he pulled out of it.

    and the picture on the tv changed. Notice Angel kept peeking through his fingers first to make sure it was on the screen he was on. In high resolution and digital mediums, there would be no flicker from scene to scene.

    I think his/their personality is pretty douchy too… but I must admit that he/they are pretty damn inventive.

  42. @bsu

    The movie was predictable but the twist wasnt. There were never any hints of it. Then as you replayed the movie back in your mind there is no way he couldve done half the things he did. The twist kind of ruined the movie for me.

  43. @ Big Blak

    It's a good thing I don't give a damn about them then.

    I learned this stuff to help my stage presence as a musician and to mess with my kids. That's all I care about.

    @ Thundercracker

    Watching reveal videos is like playing a game with the strategy guide in front of you…. no fun in that.

  44. @ N8R

    Well sir, as a concerned digi friend I hope when they come a knocking at your door it was all worth it. I'm kidding but that isn't such a bad idea, the studying part lol.

  47. @ Thundercracker

    Oh… they TOTALLY use camera tricks.

    Examples:

    Criss Angel walking on water – there's a special glass that doesn't show up on video and can barely be seen underwater that cameramen use for underwater shots. When Criss Angel does the trick, he has a video camera with the night vision on… this helps him see the solid special glass pillars he had made better.

    David Blaine – uses editing to his advantage all the time. Especially when it comes to the communicating with dead people stuff.

  50. Finally got Fallout 3: GoTY version so I can play the expansions. Been pretty much glued to it for several days.
