Switch Lights

The lights are on

Weekend Warrior: 10/16/09

It's that time of the week again! The work week is over and we're all itching to play our favorite games. Read on and find out what we're up to this weekend then tell us what's on your play list.

Dan: After a ridiculously busy few weeks, I plan to spend some serious time with Borderlands. I'm also working on my second playthrough of Uncharted 2, this time on Hard (not looking forward to Crushing). My sixth 360 is down so it's time to take another loaner home from GI. Outside of games, I'm going to try to get some tickets to the Vikings-Ravens game on Sunday.

Matt Helgeson: Beer. Half-Life 2. Watching the Vikings game.

Phil: This will be weekend #2 devoted to Demon's Souls. The game has been demolishing me, but I still love it (hear more about it on this week's episode of The Game Informer Show!). If I can get that wrapped up, I'll be moving quite eagerly into Uncharted 2, since my copy has been taunting me all week. My PS3 hasn't seen this much love in quite a long time! As usual, I'll also be fitting in some time for World of Warcraft where my guild will make its second attempt to take down the new level 80 version of Onyxia. We got her down to 30% or so last time, so hopefully we can push through the rest this time!

Tim: This weekend I shall be curbing my appetite for zombie blood. Left 4 Dead 2 is looming on the horizon and it’s time to hone my apocalyptic skills with the original L4D. I’ll also likely be plugging away at Modern Warfare and Cooking Mama 3. Yes, zombies, martyrdom and macaroni casserole.

Jeff M: Due to my brother’s bachelor party this weekend, I probably won’t be playing many video games – unless they can be turned into drinking games. A drink every time someone gets a strike in Wii Bowling? Hmm…motion controls + drunkenness = bad idea. Maybe a Left 4 Dead drinking game would be better. Shots every time a Special Infected shows up? Nah, too many – we’d be puking like Boomers before the first campaign was over. Maybe we’ll just stick to beer pong…unless one of our readers has a good suggestion?

Annette: This weekend I’m working on some Game Informer stuff so my next few days are looking pretty busy. I also hope to squeeze in some time with Uncharted  2...and beer.

Meagan: This weekend is my grandma’s 70th birthday celebration (it’s a secret, but I am pretty sure she doesn’t frequent this site), so my gaming will be portable for the five-hour drive. I will probably try to finish up Scribblenauts and Phantom Hourglass while on the road. I plan on bringing my PC with me as well so I may score some indie game time with Machinarium back at the hotel. Otherwise, I am rushing home right now to play as much Uncharted 2 as possible before I finally conk out tonight. It’s been one of those weeks.

Jeff: Where to begin? For the most part, I'll probably be switching back and forth between Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2. I might sneak in a little Borderlands with Dan, though he's probably so far beyond  my level by now he'd have to be a saint to put up with my low-level quests. (Or I could tag along on some of his quests and have him boost me a bit... Hmmm...) Maybe I'll organize my games, too. Very exciting. Other than that, I'm going to see Where the Wild Things are. I can't wait!

Your turn. What's your game plan this weekend?

Comments
  • Most likely movies weekend. Where the wild things are, law abiding citizen, and paranormal activity is in my area now. Other than that a friend finally got OF: Dragon Rising so it's co-op time on hardcore.

  • Hopefully I will finally get my game from gamestop.com so I will have something new to play while I wait for Left 4 Dead 2, MW2 and Assassins Creed 2.... A year of good sequels I guess!

  • As I've just recently acquired a PS3, I'm going to be playing Killzone 2 and finishing up MGS4.  On the 360, I'm gonna play some Dead Space and Shadow Complex.  And when on bathroom breaks, I'll have Chains of Olympus in the PSP.  

  • ODST firefight,  just waitin for borderlands to relaease and MW2.  i cant wait!

  • I'm spending most of my time steeped in jealousy that you game informers get to play borderlands.  I am so pumped for this game I think my heart has stopped beating at least twice already.  Tuesday you are so far away why can't you stay in one place?  Well you do kinda, oh well.

  • @duberi,

    I'm with you. I can't wait. The crappy part is my connection isn't coming until Wednesday! Doh!

  • I been finally playing Red Faction (missed out on it a while back)

    I've also been wanting to finally play Deamons Soul.

  • Boo Vikings!

    I have no idea what I will play this weekend. It will depend entirely on my whims.

  • Dan, Matt, Phil, Tim, Jeff, Annette, Meagan, or anyone else from GI...

    Wana hang out this weekend? ...lol. I could show you some cool Secret Ninja stuff...

  • I will probably play some Uncharted 2 multiplayer online as well as Killzone 2. Probably read some Berserk and watch some t.v. Think thats probably about it.

  • Jeff M-- I say hook up uncharted 2 and take a shot everytime someone gets a headshot (or stealth kill, or whatever else you want to make it) Or reach for Wii resort and try something with one of them games... can't hurt right?.... don't answer that

  • oh, and for me. Im hoping i can make it to the store and pick up a copy of uncharted 2... cant wait

  • Gotta finish Wolfenstein so that I can trade it and Call of Juarez:BiB in to make some money up to get Borderlands (40$ total, suhweet!). Other than that a bit of Mad Men, and then Uncharted 2. If I still have time left, I might head south to Red Wing and grab the last of the MN fall colors

  • I will be playing chrono trigger for the Super Nintendo and a big can of soda will be with me!!!

  • Wishing Dragon Age was out.  Playing more Operation Flashpoint and Bad Company multiplayer.  Watching my brother play Uncharted 2.

  • TO JEFF M.-

    down a few shots to get buzzed then play left 4 dead with your buddies on left 4 dead on hardcore. when one of you gets incapacitated take a swig. longest lasting survivor gets the most booze and wins. repeat until passing out or puking.

  • Outside of work, I plan on beating Uncharted 2 on Crushing difficulty and polishing off a bit more of Demon's Souls.

  • A couple rounds of my favorite dark lager and some COD LIVE.

  • Other than working, definatley some Uncharted 2 co-op, This is easily the best game so far this generation. I have yet to find any un-obnoxious people online so If you are a person of decent nature and would like to play, my PSN id is dr_richter1989

  • Beating Uncharted 2 and getting the Broncos to 6-0.
