WRUP: BlizzCon and GamesCom edition
BlizzCon and
GamesCom are both going on this weekend and the news isn't stopping. Feel free to keep checking in with us for lots more content over the s-days. What's everyone playing?
- Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): At GamesCom and hoping I'll finally get to play some stuff over the weekend -- been in meetings and sessions for four days. Still have some more meetings tomorrow, but at least my iCal doesn't look like a giant block of text anymore.
- Andrew Yoon (@scxzor): I am unashamed to admit that I am playing GRIN's (RIP) Wanted: Weapons of Fate. I am also unashamed to admit that I think it is great. It could've used a bit more polish, but the action is terrific. It's a very short game, so definitely a rental (or cheap purchase) rather than a full $60.
- Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): GameFly kindly delivered Retro Game Challenge for my DS, making the bathroom an exciting place to go once again. With any luck, I'll get a chance to play through Shadow Complex a second time and finally finish Prototype.
- Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): What's this? Batman: Arkhum Asylum? I'm afraid I'll be unable to do much more than play Batman all day long!
- David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I've got a pretty full plate. Nintendo sent me Metroid Prime Trilogy, so I want to make some time for that, and I also want to finish Shadow Complex. On the backburner, I'm nearing the end of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and made a dent in Red Faction: Guerrilla. Oh, and I've been having this hankering to go back through Mass Effect.
- Dustin Burg (@SuperDunner): Playing the game of life and (if there's time) Shadow Complex.
- Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): My recent purchase of a PS3 headset has rekindled my love of LittleBigPlanet. I still wish there was a better way of sorting through the levels, however -- I'm having an awfully hard time separating the wheat (The Dream-Jar Peddler) from the chaff (Butt Cannon 2: Revenge of the Butt Cannon).
- James Ransom-Wiley: The Batman ... demo. Again. And again. And again.
- JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): I'll be suffering like G did in House of the Dead: Overkill. I'd make a joke more relevant to that game instead of House of the Dead 2, but I haven't played it yet!
- Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): I...
- Kevin Kelly (@gadgetguy): I'll be playing Diablo 3, StarCraft 2, and whatever the WoW expansion ends up being *cough* Cataclysm? *cough*. It's BlizzCon!
- Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): At least the vice-president is safe!
- Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin): I like the sound of playing through Shadow Complex once on my own, then going back again and using Xav's guide to find, well ... everything. However, there's a still-sealed copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy staring at me that might just have a problem with that.
- Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM): I'll be playing plenty of Shadow Complex, some Fallout 3, and hopefully actually finishing a multiplayer match in the Section 8 demo without getting booted back to the menu.
- Xav de Matos (@Xav): I'm playing through Mass Effect and (if it arrives) inFamous. Apparently I am unaware of today's date or any current releases.
- Justin Glow (@justinglow): (Creating the perfect storm.)
