Our Weekend in Gaming - FEZ Are Cool Edition

As we inch closer to a May release of a certain game, some of the staff felt it would be wise to play a 10 year old prequel to celebrate.  Others will be diving into Mass Effect 3 and its new co-op content and one staff member is determined to go to the hospital with a dislocated shoulder.  Surprisingly not many of us are playing FEZ, the Indie darling that came out on XBLA today.  That may change though.  Ahhh...Spring.

Nick "bapenguin" Puleo (@NickPuleo) - "I plan to dive back into Mass Effect 3 as well as check out The Legend of Grimrock on PC.  Of course there will be plenty of Blue Shield Alliance development as well."

Mike "Pheriannath" Katsufrakis (@Pherinnath) - "I'm back on the Diablo 2 wagon, and my Sorceress is almost through a normal playthrough. Hopefully I'll get to play some co-op with Marc!"

Marc "DjinniMan" Allie (@DjinniMan- "I'll be playing through some Diablo and Diablo 2 in anticipation of next month, plus probably Shooting Many Robots, or as I like to call it, Throwing Many Controllers."

Andrew "Cubninja" Gaskill (@Cubninja) - "I'll be making the most out of online interactions in Demon's Souls before the servers shut down forever. I also think I'm going to get all of the achievements in Diabolical Pitch, because I don't think anyone else will."

Jason "OrigamiPanther" Love (@JLove55) - "I have a feeling I'll be playing some Mass Effect 3 this weekend, checking out the new DLC. I'll hopefully be putting more time into Radiant Historia as well."

Paul "EastX" Acevedo (@SegaCon- "TBD"

Eric "smurphster" Murphy (@smurph_em)- "I'm shooting for GRAW 2 tonight and hopefully I'll make some progress in Borderlands - The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned.."

Sam "Samoza" Tyler (@reelsamtyler) - Still on Vacation

Locke Vincent (@LockeVincent) - "My world will be spinning as I immerse myself into FEZ. I will also be hosting an arcade tournament this weekend so some retro goodness will be had. "  

Tally "xelissa" Callahan - TBD

Chris "The Lemko" Metz (@The_Lemko) - "If I even have time to game at all (this weekend is my Easter weekend; I'm Eastern Orthodox) I'll probabaly be playing some old multiplayer classics: Mario Power Tennis and Super Smash Bros."

How about you, Co-Optimus Community?  What will you be playing this weekend?
