WRUP: Bionic safety edition

by Richard Mitchell on Aug 15th 2008 12:30PM

If you're planning on playing a lot of Bionic Commando Rearmed this weekend -- a course of action we heartily condone -- remember to be safe. Please, please resist the urge to craft your own grappling apparatus for use in real life. We realize it would probably shave a lot of time off of your commute, but trust us when we say it's not worth the risk. The last time we attempted to make a grappling gun, it didn't end well (that's not a joke, I was 12 at the time). So, take it easy out there bionic soldiers.

With that out of the way, what will you be playing this weekend?

Leaderboards:
Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard
Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk. II

Actually i did make myself a bionic arm, i used twizzlers, a bunch of K-Nex, and bonded everything with some play-doh. Turns out the police frown upon grabbing friendly pedestrians and using them as human shields........dam law.

GAHHH BIONIC COMMANDO'S AWESOME!!!!!! anyone know if the 3-d remakes gonna be any good?

Racking up some serious debt in Fable 2 Pub Games and grinding through SCIV's Tower mode. Brutal!

Madden, using crappy teams for achievements.

trying to get 1,000,000 gold in SCIV, some multiplayer in GRAW 2 and some Geometry Wars 1 & 2. I need to get some microsoft points so i can get BC:R, Braid, F2:PG, and some more so i can save for Castle Crashers.....im gonna need to make a trip to the bank also

still debating on BC:R but i'll pry pick it up this weekend. i just won my first kestone tourney last night so i'll definitely be doing up Fable II's pub games. i'm at ten thousand gold right now and no debt with a 5 star rating. so now its time to go after the rest of the items. otherwise i'll try and finish up Braid.

all arcade weekend...go figure...

Finally have some money to throw around so I'll be picking up Penny Arcade (yay) and BRAID (double yay) and maybe Bionic Commando. I loved the demo's sense of humor...

For every 100 million kids who attempted at least one has to succeed in creating a grappling hook.

Moving into my new crib so I can relax and play too human on tues.

Bionic Commando: Rearmeed, TF2, and maybe some Rockband and possibly some Bioshock

Battlefield: Bad Company, Frontlines: FOW, A.K.A. cheevo grab!

I didn't like Bionic Commando. I know, I know... I tried to like it.

Hey, I want to hear that story about the grappling hook, Richard.

Chances are you'll hear the story during the next Fancast :)

:) w00t!

what no Braid handjobs this WRUP?

No, they are whoring out to Bionic Commando now.

X3F=sluts ;)

Don't worry. It won't happen with Galaga. Even though it is an awesome game, as far as I'm concerned it's just a speed bump between me and Castle Crashers.

Halo 3
Geometry Wars 2

Geometry Wars 2 and Rock Band. :)

Blue Dragon & Red Faction: Guerilla Beta ;]
Oh and probably some Halo 3 and CoD 4

BC:R is a real achievement.

I'm going to try and finish The Simpsons Game, play some Geo Wars 2, BC:R, maybe play through Braid again. Don't know how much time I'll have with a sick wife and a baby!

Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Never played the original. It Rocks. Tight ,simple controls in a challenging game.

SC-IV: Finishing out the Ascending Tower mode. 14 more exhausting floors to go. I'm going to give myself a cookie when I finally beat this mode. And by cookie I mean beer. ;)

Braid is going to have to wait until next month, but it's still on my list. Beautiful Demo. Maybe if I eat enough cookies this weekend I'll buy it. Chocolate chip has that effect on me.

Gears, of course, and Madden.

But also the very underrated Viking: Battle for Asgard. Damn that game is fun.

Griffball playlist is up this weekend so may try to squeeze in some Halo.

Having a Rock Band party for my neighborhood. Sould be interested seeing thirty and forty somethings play Rock Band.

Madden, Bionic Commando, Alone in the Dark (almost done) and Braid (I don't what the fuck I'm doing sometimes).

I'm pissed BC came out the same week as Madden.
And with Too Human coming next week I wont have any Madden time at all.

Seems like I never get time to play Madden until the Summer lull and by then the next installment is ready for release.

ill be playing braid...which is a real good game. Some levels are real hard. my gf is ganna buy me madden so ill be playing some madden. Gears of course as well.

Probably be playing some Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 ... and attempting to rush for more than 10 yards a game in Madden

Halo 3 griftball!!! So happy they finally released this again as a double exp. Playing so i can get some lost exp because of my connection. Also a lot of SC:IV if i can make it to the store this weekend and ill try rearmed. Have heard its not good so not trying to get to excited for it.

Bionic Commando makes me feel as though I can't play video games, I can't even get TO the second boss...

I'll be playing BC:R and Fable II Pub Games with a little bit of H3 Grifball on the side. Maybe even try to grab those pesky "extras" in Braid. Already beat it once but had to start the game over due to putting a certain puzzle together before I should have. oops.

Halo 3, Rock Band (just bought 5 more songs 2day), Unreal Tournament 3, Soul Calibur IV, and Bionic Commando: Rearmed!!

I just "finished" Braid, which is beyond amazing so I'll probably try and finish Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney so I can send that back and await Too Human from Gameaccess.

Gears of War and Final Fantasy IV DS for me :)

gonna try to kill all my friends' high scores in GEOwars2 and buy Bionic Commando Rearmed and start a swingin'

Crackdown

I just picked up Burnout Paradise and Orange Box for $45.00! Woot! So ya... I'll be playing Burnout Paradise, Orange Box, and Halo 3.

Braid! I just completed the game and now I'm going to try to do the speed run.

Bionic Commando will likely be the only thing I play this weekend. I'm addicted.
