WRUP: damn dirty demons edition

by Richard Mitchell on Jan 25th 2008 1:30PM

There are really two standout games to play this week. The first is Burnout Paradise, which has plenty of gamers entranced by its free form gameplay. Of course, you get to smash things too, which is always a plus. The other game that slammed into the radar screen this week is the Devil May Cry 4 demo. Many gamers will be spending this weekend playing and replaying the demo, deciding whether or not to drop their hard cash for the game later this year. Others, well, they'll play it once and wonder what the fuss is about. Frankly, we're still catching up on the back catalog of games (Mario Galaxy, Overlord, and we still need to hit Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed and more). It's going to be a busy weekend. But what about you? What will you be playing this weekend?

A lil Overlord, some COD4, Skate, and Madden 08!

I should have Burnout Paradise waiting for me in my mailbox via GameFly (props for the new Tampa, FL warehouse), more COD4, and get some more kills in Undertow.

Here here! Burnout Paradise from Gamefly should be arriving and more COD4 multiplayer for me.

Wasn't too excited about Undertow after playing it the other day...but must admit I didn't play it long enough to give it a fighting chance. Just too many other great titles to spend my precious gaming time on!

a LIL cod4 some Ds maby try the demo again i cant beat that boss i get him to his last couple of lines and he does this huge finisher

I'm playing Burnout Paradise and Crackdown! Burnout is definitely...different. Graphics are nuts, races are ok, I truly hate the speed cars that have to get 100% boost before going. Oh, and one small ding, and your slammed into a wall. But a lot of fun overall.
One more thing: the soundtrack...meh at best.

I just prestiged again in COD4 so ill be playing that trying to get my guns back. I got a buddy of mine coming up to visit me at school so we'll get a lot of Rock Band in too... maybe do the endless setlist. Might try and get a few games of Halo in too but that might not happen

Me and my friend will definetly be playing this demo over and over this weekend.
Can't wait to pick this one up.
By far one of my favorite series of the last few years

I'll be hitting RB6V hard along with maybe some COD4 campaign.Outside of that, perhaps some Metal Slug 3 for the last 2 cheevos I need in it and if I feel like really working my brain I'll hit up some Exit.

still got Mass Effect to finish. and flags to collect on Assassins Creed, might play a bit of Guitar Hero aswell

ill be finishing up Assassins Creed this weekend, I've only got three more assassinations left, then probably back to some TF2 from the Orange Box

and maybe a little Mario Galaxy if i feel like turning on my forsaken Wii

GH2, Mass Effect, Saint's Row

Grinding through Assassin's Creed, Halo 3ing up with my crew when I get sick of stabbing dudes in the back and drowning in rivers for some reason...

Have one more assassination left in Creed (which I really enjoyed.) Other than that, I'll be playing through Episode I and II of Half Life, or Rock Band.

I still have to get through Mass Effect and Skate, which were both Xmas presents.

Burnout Paradise. Love this game. Assassin's Creed, Rock Band, Carcassonne, Pinball. Probably try and work some CoD4 in there too. Still need to complete the last few missions on Veteran.

I will be trying to finish Mass Effect and getting down on some Skate and CoD4. Oh yeah, I can't forget the beautiful Puzzle Quest, that game stays in the rotation.

My weekend will consist of Assassin's Creed, Guitar Hero 2 & 3, and probably a little Halo 3 MP.

halo 3, look for me Dustin, and a little assassin's creed. I am thinking about picking up Burnout, but who knows?

Ill be starting Overlord, which was a Christmas gift. Burnout Paradise Demo and some Xevious on XBLA.

Mass Effect, CoD4, Crackdown, and Orange Box: HL Episode 2

COD4 i spose.... if i go out i may pick up burnout.

I'm gonna finish Assassin's Creed this weekend if it kills me!

Also, Resistance, if I get the time.

COD 4, Halo 3 maybe pop in some Madden 08 or/and Crackdown.

Mass Effect...assuming Halo 3 doesn't bring me back in for the umpteenth time.

Also some wii games.

Burnout Paradise is getting all my time this weekend. :D

working on my second mass effect playthrough. gotsta gets those cheevos.

Rockband, COD4, Halo3, and if I can squeeze it in, a little Skate and Orange Box. Oh... maybe some Star Wars CS too... ahhhh.....

CoD4, Halo 3, Rock Band, TF2, Undertow, and Arkadian Warriors.
For the Wii I will be playing RE Umbella Chronicles, Ghost Squad, Metroid Prime 3, Paper Mario, and hopefully No More Heroes.
I am going to be busy.

Also finishing up Assassins Creed and Mass Effect. I probably won't have time for all of that but I will sure as hell try.

Street Fighter 3: Third Strike.

I'll be playing HL2-Team Fortress2, TMNT and I'll finally start COD4. I'm sure everyone is all leveled up in COD4 and probably won't want to play with me.

Probably finish COD4, play Assassin's Creed and Undertow. Yeah that's right, Undertow.. it actually is a fun game.

Blue Dragon
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age

Finishing up Assassin's Creed...

Attempting to get lvl 60 in Mass Effect! I've beaten it twice (two different characters) but went back to my soldier for the 3rd go through and hopefully can get up to 60!

Feels like a good weekend to try out the OXM Turok Demo. I will also be playing THE BIGS, a very under rated & fun baseball game from 2K Sports.

DMC demo was sick

Lets see...

-Halo3
-Undertow
-Orange Box
-Super Mario Galaxy

That about sums it up. Almost got 120 stars in SMG. Great game.

Rock Band, No More Heroes and trying to force myself to play Mass Effect.
