I’m holding off on Golden Sun: Dark Dawn for now (thanks Paul!). It will be my travel game next week. This weekend will be brought to me by Namco-Bandai! I’ve played a bit of Splatterhouse and I’m not sure I’ll keep with it due to annoying technical glitches. I definitely want to play some Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom and hope to get some Enslaved in too.
How about you? What’s on your weekend playlist?
Taking some time away from WoW until Tuesday. Prob some Bad Co 2 this weekend or GT:5 unless Majin comes in.
i highly doubt i'll get in any gaming this weekend. if so i have no idea what i'm going to play.
Sadly next week is Finals so not playing much, but if I get time
The Fight: Lights Out (Move) is an utter blast to play and it is tough as hell. My upper back, shoulders, arms and chest are all sore from this game. It is intense and frantic fighting. Wish I could play more just for the amount of exercise it is.
Gran Turismo 5: I rented it. I really hated to return it. I haven't played a racing game in a while but GT5 just felt great. I found myself doing license tests over and over to try to shave 0.001 seconds off my time to get the Gold. Had to return it though.
Fallout New Vegas: I still haven't gotten out of Prim, just no time to play.
Medal of Honor: Need to finish SP and get in some more MP, if anything I'll be playing this first.

The damn menus and loading/installing so often sucks though lol. I did the game install and it still takes so long to move around. The annoyingly high amount of clicking gets me to.
I tried to do the lightweight circuit and viewed the acceptable cars….why on F'n earth would the cars not include dealership links????
GT:5 while fun has a horrible interface.
@SG
Holy Crap! The install was HORRIBLE. It gave me an estimate of 20 minutes, an hour later it still said 20 minutes, 30 minutes later it said 45 SECONDS for nearly 20 minutes.
The load times get WAY annoying. When I was doing the license tests I hated finishing a race only to be put all of the way back out to the menus in order to redo the race. Give me the option to retry after I see the results. Many times I would pause before crossing the finish to see if it was close enough to get the results or just restart from the pause menu.
I did notice it always says 'installing' at the bottom when it seems to just be loading. The navigation system in the game is a bit to showy and just not quick enough, I hated trying to get the arrow to go where I wanted only to have it skip to some other square that was nearby.
Lastly, When it is a fairly simple track I like to drive from the In Car view behind the steering wheel, BUT not all of the cars let you do this. My Yellow Skyline only has 3 views. In Prologue I loved the in car view. For harder technical tracks it not being there doesn't bother me since I use the front bumper view.
Had Front Mission Evolved come from Gamefly yesterday, so I'll probably play that. I'm still playing WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood multiplayer (which, if you know me you know that I HATE online multiplayer games…but I LOVE AC:B's multiplayer)
My free copy of Castlevania: LoS came in yesterday, so I intend to play a lot of that.
I don't know… whatever I can really.
I got the new slim Xbox with the barely touch it to make it turn on switches and 250GB HDD. Gave my son my old one (he loves me just a little extra right now). But what to play… good question.
I have my evil game on New Vegas to work with. I gave the dude green hair, made his skin sheer white, and named him the Joker.
I haven't gotten to the DLC for Alan Wake yet… I may do that.
I got the AC:B Multiplayer, but the multiplayer seems awfully repetitive.
I have Mirror's Edge… but I think I hate it.
I love Mirror's Edge. I still play through that game occasionally because it is so much fun. I know I've raved about that game before, but I love almost everything about it.
Don't waste your time or money with the Alan Wake DLC. The two extra episodes (The Signal and The Writer) play out like a friggin' hamster wheel. The whole time you are in "your mind" (a poor excuse for Remedy to basically do anything they want, setting-wise) being affected by the dark presence. You start out going from one imaginary place to another until you come full circle and realize that you haven't really gone anywhere. It ends out EXACTLY where the main game ended. It's a complete waste of time, story-wise. It does not solve or answer any of the unanswered questions at the end of the main game.
The only good thing about the DLC is that it is definitely more of a challenge than the push-over main game, but at the end of the day, it's just more of the same. I personally think that The Writer was better than The Signal (although that is not saying much) but they won't make sense unless you play both of them back-to-back.
If you want, I can spoilarz it for you in about two or three sentences, but you could just go on YouTube and find an entire walkthrough of both DLC episodes. They'll probably take you about fifteen to twenty minutes each depending how fast you are.

I got the Signal on Black Friday for like 160 points. The Writer is like 560 or something like that.
I don't know, I thought the gameplay was interesting and I think my wife might like it.
My main unanswered question was "Why can't I unlock the head lamp and the christmas lights?"
Because Remedy hates you.

If I get any play time in this weekend it will most likely be Pokemon HeartGold.
This weekend needs to be dedicated to homework though since I have a 4 page book report (still need to read the book), a 50 page journal (only 7 pages left), a portfolio (only a few pages left there as well), a 10 page research paper, and a 10 page consultant report to put together (mostly BS and write up my opinions on Blockbuster)- all due next week or the week after, which is finals week. I also have to get in to another class for next semester so I can finish up and graduate already.

I was breeding last night (I'm almost done with Growlithe/Arcanine, but I came across something peculiar that I was wondering if you have ever had happen to you. I have a Growlithe with 31 IV's in attack holding the power bracer, and one with 31 IV's in speed holding the power anklet so that they can pass on the 31 IV's in attack and speed. 1 out of 3 or 4 of the children have an anomaly though, and instead of passing on the 31 IV's in Speed, they pass on 31 IV's in Attack and Special Defense. At first I thought it must have just been a leftover egg (it happened right when I changed parents) and I missed it before, but then it happened again. I haven't heard of anything like this happening anywhere else and am thoroughly confused on how it is happening.
That is odd. I don't recall that ever happening to me.
it just happened again. I was a little off on how frequent it was, more like 1 out of 6. Just under 18 pokemon breed and 3 of them have 31 IV's in Special Defense. At first I thought I just got amazingly lucky and had the 31 IV's in Sp. Def. in addition to the ones in Attack and Speed. Alas, I was not so fortunate.
Still no clue how it is happening. Of course I did remember something weird that happened when I went to the stat checker for the parent with 31 IV's in speed. The first time I checked them it said her Sp. Def. IV couldn't be better, but her characteristic is "Alert to sounds" which is indicative of 1,6,11,16,21,26, or 31 IV's in Speed, "somewhat vain" being indicative of the same thing with the Sp. Def. IV. I was shocked to see the stat checker say Sp. Def., when I knew the characteristic telling the highest IV was for Speed. But when I checked the pokemon out again, the stat checker said that her Speed IV couldn't be better- which is what I was expecting in the first place.
Overall, a very weird experience.
Red Dead Redemption and Medal of Honor multiplayer
@ "I was breeding"
Lol
Haha. I was about to do the same thing…..quote him….not breed.
Haha. that was a good one that I didn't even realize I was saying.
