Our Weekend in Gaming

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

With the long holiday weekend many folks around Co-Optimus HQ are visiting friends and family.  Here's what we're playing this weekend.

Mike "pheriannath" Katsufrakis - "I'll be sneaking in some Left 4 Dead between marathon stretches of Chrono Trigger DS, Valkyria Chronicles and Wrath of the Lich King.  If I'm lucky, I might be able to get some Rock Band 2 in with my wife and some friends, but the holiday weekend tends to mess with my best laid plans."

Jim "txshurricane" McLaughlin - "I'm going to try the A Kingdom of Keflings demo this weekend. I'll probably also play some Bomberman Live with my wife, and some more CoD World at War with my visiting brothers. I never got in that round of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 last weekend, so I'm shooting for that as well."

Jason "OrigamiPanther" Love - "It's a sparse weekend for me as I'm visiting with family and only brought along my DS. In between some pretty competitive bouts of Planet Puzzle League with members of my family, though, I'm wrapping up Dragon Quest IV so I can scratch that off my list. When I get home on Sunday I'll probably play some Valkyria Chronicles."

Blake "Broodax" Corner - "Well, since I'm away from my home with only a DS, it's gonna be Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for me. I might play some Meteos if I'm in a puzzle mood."

Marc  "DjinniMan" Allie - "More Left 4 Dead, I would like to beat the final two campaigns this weekend.  Probably some Final Fantasy IV DS until I get home.  And I'd like to check out the Street Fighter II HD Long Name Remix demo, as well."

Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo - "I'd like to get some good time into Fallout 3, and then perhaps so co-op Sacred 2 with Mike.  Of course he neglected to mention this...so perhaps he's going to ditch me on that."

So what are your weekend gaming plans?

Ugh, there are so many games I want to pick up and just don't have the time. I might play a little Spyro with the kiddo this weekend. It's not groundbreaking, but we've been having fun. Don't know that I'll get around to anything else.

L4D is the first priority, maybe some CoD:World at War (especially if Jim or someone else from here is on), maybe SR2. I usually only play with folks from here, mostly JG since he has access to so many titles, but lately Marc, Joel (Fiveski) and Jim have been floating around with fully-loaded weapons and an itching to shoot zombies, either in a modern city or from WWII, so I'll try to hit them up. My brother's supposed to get his copy of L4D soon, which is great as that's by far our favorite thing to do together. A good battle buddy is so hard to find, when I get one or two I tend to stick with 'em!

I don't play much on the weekend. I will tonight, and maybe Sunday night, but usually next to no gaming on Saturday. Besides, this Saturday is LOADED with college football games I want to see.

EDIT: Why are there 6 avatars up there, but only info on 5 of you? Who's the question mark? And what's Billy doing this weekend?

It'll change who says what each week, this week Loren has been busy so he never got around to letting us know his plans.

The question mark? Why that's YOU!

Well, I'm going to go against the grain here and actually say that most of my weekend will be spent playing single-player Last Remnant. I will fill in the cracks with Left 4 Dead with my girl and her brother, as well as some Gears 2 multiplayer.

I just love RPGs too much.

I'll be finishing Gears of War 2 Tonight and then I'll try that bad boy online for the first time.

Note I play the whole campaign before I'll play online with any game not just Gears!

I'm going to start with L4d, then add some CoD:WaW in, then more L4D and finally maybe some CoD:WaW! Haha.... gotta finish CoD so I can get to the Zombies!

I have some friends on another board I'll play with, and my brother is almost as nig a nut for CoD:WaW as I am so I'm sure he's in. Most likely all will be xbox this weekend so look for me if you need another game!

Lots of L4D. Hopefully I'll also toss in some Gears 2 (still working on the campaign) and maybe I'll finally try Motorstorm Pacific Rift which is still wrapped in plastic.

Also may game some with the wife including spending some time creating an avatar for her. Then after some Rock Band 2, Buzz TV and possibly some Little Big Planet. I'll probably have to let her play her standard 2-3 hours of Zuma somewhere in there if I expect her to join me in some coop and/or multiplayer games.

If I can tear myself away from A Kingdom For Keflings, I'll be trying to get some co-op L4D action in on the 360. Otherwise, Mirror's Edge, maybe some Valkyria Chronicles and some DS/PSP gaming tonight while I'm stuck at work overnight.

And I just resubbed to WoW for Lich King, so that should get some time.

My friend and I played some Resistance- Fall of Man tonight. Hopefully we will be getting Dark Kingdom for the PS3 by tomorrow so we can play some co-op over the weekend.
