Our Weekend in Gaming - Where's My Firefight Edition?

Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo October 16th, 2009 at 4:11 PM    


  

Despite the plethora of games, everyone seems to want to get back into some Firefight action in Halo 3.

Nick "bapenguin" Puleo - "Dawn of War 2 tonight and hopefully some Firefight otherwise."

Mike "pheriannath" Katsufrakis - "I'll be hitting up some Last Stand in Dawn of War II as well as testing out the retail co-op modes in Uncharted 2, now that I've beaten the single-player."

Marc "DjinniMan" Allie - This weekend is pretty busy, but after hearing my kids singing along during Beatles Rock Band co-op night, I'd guess that will be the game of choice this evening, along with whatever else the kiddo wants to play."

Katrina "ShadokatRegn" Pawlowski - "This weekend will wrap up Mini Ninjas, and hopefully crack open some Prince of Persia or the campaign for Halo 3: ODST. "

Jason "OrigamiPanther" Love - "I plan on playing more AI War and, of course, the new Last Stand mode in DoW II. Kudos to Relic for giving me a new reason to be completely addicted to that game. I'll also be wrapping some things up in Brutal Legend, and possibly playing some Firefight in Halo 3: ODST."

Jim "txshurricane" McLaughlin - "I'll be playing Borderlands at the Gearbox launch party, and that will probably be it. If I get the chance, I'll hit Halo 3 ODST and Operation Flashpoint 2."

 What are your gaming plans?

Borderlands!-- Er, wait, right. That's not out yet. . . Um. . .

Probably more Vocals practice in Rock Band. Hoping to run through the Endless Setlist 2 with Vocals on expert in the future, so I could use a bit more practice on a few of the songs that I don't know like the back of my hand yet. I could use a bit of Borde-- I mean, Left 4 Dead as well. Maybe some Team Bo-- Team Fortress 2.

. . . Is it Tuesday yet? Can we just, y'know, skip the weekend?

lol'd @ Deriaz

well i thought this weekend would be game-less but turns out when the groom's mother has a heart attack, that kind of postpones the wedding . really bummed about that... REALLY bummed.

to make up for it, my wife and i will be finishing up the ODST campaign then probably some halo 3 when my brothers jump on later tonight... not sure about the rest of the weekend but it will probably involve some firefight since we've hardly played it.

can't wait to hear what Jim has to say about his weekend ( ) and to get my own hands on borderlands next week.

I will be digging a little deeper into the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 universe. I will start the Beetles Rock Band tonight with my roommate and my girlfriend(she only plays Rock Band games). I would also like to start Brutal Legend but I don%u2019t know if I will have enough time. On another note I%u2019m going to see Paranormal Activity tonight and going to a haunted house tomorrow night!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!

DoW 2 will be my poison as I keep working on reaching Level 20.

I also have a whole pile of 360 games just waiting for me since my 360 has just arrived back from the MS repair center. So I'll probably randomly grab one depending on my mood. I could probably see myself playing some NHL 10 with some friends.

I'll continue to play Brutal Legend and perhaps try out the MP mode (I know it hasn't gotten all glowing press, but I'm really loving it). Will also probably play some Lego Batman with the lady, which completely makes up for our disappointment in Lego Indy.

I wouldnt be surprised if a few retailers got Borderlands early and sold it this weekend.

Have to resist the urge to go and pester all the local electronic departments...
 
smurphster at 01:09 PM on 10.16.2009

there have been rumors of bestbuy selling it already... might have to stop by and see. amazon hasn't shipped my order yet

I'm a little surprised that there aren't any reviews out for it yet, seems like a lot of the games lately have had reviews going up a few days before release.
 
blakepro at 01:45 PM on 10.16.2009


This is sometimes a bad sign. A lot of companies intentionally do not send out review copies of their games because they are afraid of bad scores. (this forces places like IGN to wait until the release date to get a copy like everyone else instead of getting a review copy well ahead of time.)

Hopefully this isn't the case with Borderlands...

Halo 3: ODST campaign & Firefight. Course gotta leave room for studying for an exam on Monday & a report due Thursday, but it's all good

My sister is up for the weekend, so it will be just causal gaming. Rock Band 2 tonight, and maybe some Wii tomorrow and Sunday.

Maybe if I can get up before everyone else tomorrow and Sunday I will be able to squeeze in some Uncharted 2.

they did send out preview copies... weeks ago. they had access to a pretty decent portion of the beginning. there are a bunch of previews out there.

How 'bout I say nothin' much for this weekend. Full week Tuesday-Forever. BORDERLANDS Ftw. Btw, OXM gave the game an 8.5 with some of the complaints being minor issues or things that are standard in RPG's but not necessarily in shooters. The full review isn't out yet, but the score and closing paragraph can be found on the main page of

Just about wrapped up brutal legend. Should be playing UT3 or L4D tonight. Brutal was alot of fun, well worth it, heck 100 metal soundtrack in the past would have sold for 30 or 40 bucks. Now, I think I am more sure about getting Borderlands for next week.
 
txshurricane at 10:50 AM on 10.19.2009

I bailed out. A number of things contributed, but the short of it is that it just wasn't worth the travel time.
 
smurphster at 10:58 AM on 10.19.2009

i was wondering if you had... your tweets over the weekend said nothing about it so i figured your plans changed. oh well
 
Mrxknown_JG at 12:20 PM on 10.19.2009


JIM! You were going to be my main man. Why did you forsake me? Imagine the loot you could have gained!

Sorry to hear that, but on the bright side the wait is not very long!
