The lights are on
We play games at work and then we go home and play some more. Read on to find out what's on Game Informer's play list this weekend then head over to the comments section and let us know your game plan.
"Da Boss" (Andy Mc): After a fancy dinner with the wife, I hope to finish Borderlands, shake the house with some DJ Hero and watch a lot — and I do mean a lot — of NCAA and NFL football.
Reiner: If my legs don't atrophy then my weekend didn't go as planned. All I want to do is play Dragon Age: Origins. That's it. Any person who tries to pull me away from this game will be on the receiving end of a stern fist shaking (in my mind that's a flying ninja kick to the face, or a nuke in the pants). As I sink further and further into my chair, almost becoming one with it, I plan on keeping my energy high by drinking an assortment of sodas (any recommendations?) and eating nothing but Buffalo Wild Wings' delicious spicy garlic wings. Yes, I know—my weekend kicks ass.
Kato: Given it's the bye week for the Vikings, I'm definitely going to have some time on Sunday for Uncharted 2 (I've been making my way through it very slowly) as well as my new focus: NHL 10's Be a GM mode. I've held off on this mode since the game came out, but I plan on retooling the Minnesota Wild into the offensive juggernaut they ought to be.
Bertz: Tonight I'm going to the Future of the Left concert at First Avenue, which features former members of the kick ass Welsh punk rock band Mclusky. The rest of the weekend (outside of a wedding on Saturday night) will be spent exploring the world of Dragon Age. I feel bad starting the epic RPG right before I abandon it for Modern Warfare 2 next Tuesday, but the temptation to jump in is too great.
Jeff C: First up on my weekend agenda is dealing with the last boss in Borderlands. After he's gone (and I've scooped up all of his delicious loot) it's onto a bunch of other stuff. I'm having a great time with Dragon Age and my experiment with picking a character who would usually interest me least (female Dwarven Rogue with the commoner background) is turning out to be surprisingly fun. Then it's on to LEGO Rock Band. And Tekken 6. And Katamari Forever. I have to clear space for Modern Warfare 2, after all...
Dan: During the day I plan on grabbing those last two elusive achievements I need to get 100% in Borderlands and Tekken 6 (level 50 in Borderlands, all movies unlocked in Tekken), and there will most likely be bars involved at night. Once those games are done, I'm probably going to spend some time with all the games I grabbed from Steam that I've meant to get around to for years. As is always the case this time of year, Sunday will consist of pizza, football, video games and sitting through several cringe-worthy sketches from the latest Saturday Night Live.
Meagan: The next 48 hours is all about Resident Evil. Not wanting to be left alone all weekend since the husband is abandoning me to go hunting, Tim, Ben, Annette and a few others have agreed to crash at my place and attempt playing through all the Resident Evil games prior to RE4. With the combined power and knowledge base of all of us (I contribute nothing to the pot but beer), we may be able to speed run through the series in the next two days. Only Monday will tell.
Ben: Sounds like there is going to be a party at Meagan’s house where Tim and I school her in the glories of early Resident Evil games. Looks like my playthroughs of Borderlands, Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time, Dragon Age: Origins and Assassin’s Creed II will have to be put on hold. It’s important that you help those less fortunate than yourself.
Annette: So I’m rather torn between Resident Evil weekend at Meagan’s and catching up on my pile of shame. I can get schooled on RE history, or finish up Uncharted 2 (almost done) and DJ Hero, start Borderlands and Ballad of Gay Tony, then finally catch up with Entourage (one of my new favorite shows). However, Meagan also mentioned something about crab cakes and beer. Alright I'm in.Tim: I'll be acting as a flesh and blood Resident Evil strategy guide for Meagan as she attempts to catch up with the last 14 years of the survival horror genre. I wholeheartedly believe I may be the biggest RE nut in the office (don't tell anyone). Besides that, I'll likely squeeze in time to plug away at Borderlands (almost done!) and continue catching up on Assassin's Creed.Phil: When I'm not busy experiencing the epic storyline of BioWare's fantastic Baldur's Gate-inspired Dragon Age, I'll be making myself more epic in World of Warcraft as my guild makes our first attempt at the Trial of the Crusader raid. If I'm not all gamed out from those two gigantic worlds, I'll try to squeeze in some more time traveling space in Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time. Any other free time will be devoted to my new goal of catching up on comics from the year that I've been out of reading them!
Nick: Me? Oh you mean me? Well I'll be finishing up Batman finally. You can blame Borderlands for the interruption. Beyond that, I plan on doing some serious nothing. Ahhhhh yes. Nothing. Well maybe I'll enjoy an episode or two of Castle. It's pretty funny even if it's pretty much a 1:1 clone of the show Bones (which was a grandson of Moonlighting)
Your turn. What's on your play list this weekend?
My play list includes playing, "wait for the 360 to come back from texas." It's Microsoft's best selling 1st party game. If you are a 360 owner and haven't "bought" it yet...you will...YOU, Will.
My list includes turning 27. Holy crap that is close to 30.
Ben, can I have your Assassin's Creed II?
When I'm not working this weekend, I'll be spending time with my wife, my little man - Baxter the pug, and playing COD 5. My goal is to level up as much as I can before the midnight release of COD 6 and I will definitely be watching my Seahawks beat the crap out of the Lions on Sunday! There is still a chance Seahawk Nation!!
jeff i'm sorry to say there is no loot after killing the last boss or mine glitched up and didn't give me any,but tannis has a chunk of money if you give her the vault key but that ends the game so be sure you complete all side missions first.i have reached level 50 with brick,mordeci and am working on lilith
Borderlands. Reiner, you should drink Squirt Soda.
After the Jet/Cage the Elephant/Black Joe Lewis concert I plan on a Borderlands second play through. Sunday will be dedicated to mocking Eli Manning as he goes against the Chargers, and then will probably be sucked right back into Pandora.
DEMON'S SOULS, its been taking over my ps3 for awhile now, and seeing as I am sick with the flu, there is no better time to level up my knight. Maybe I can leave some time for L4D(and the new L4D2 demo) and Uncharted 2 though.
I'm about to go buy Forza Motorsport 3 and start playing it. Later in the weekend I'll continue my first playthrough of Borderlands. Then maybe some COD4 to get ready for MW2 on Tuesday. Ye yeah!
Gonna play borderlands until tuesday,
MODERN WARFARE:P
This weekend I'm going back to two good Xbox games, The Simpsons: Hit and Run and KoTOR. No sports for me because my local football team sucks some major ***.
I suggest citrus cherry Mountain Dew Game Fuel. Crazy Delicious.
My Sunday will be for the NFL, but Sat. I'm gonna be playing some Forza3 and Call of Duty 4 just to help build myself up for Nov.10. It cant get here soon enough.
Hey happy birthday sean I turn 26 tomorrow. Headed up to milwaukee for a weekend of debotchery. When i get home gonna nurse a hangover and finally finish Borderlands.
I will be slaying Darkspawn in Dragon Age and running over skags in Borderlands this weekend. I'm also very interested in reading "The Road" before the movie hits theatres this thanksgiving.
Well seeing as how I'm away from my house this weekend. I guess I will just be spending my time here, on facebook, and at the mall. Might even go see The Fourth Kind.
Your ridiculously large website sucks up too much of my weekend time! I spend so much time talking about video games I barely play. Maybe I'll try to finish the DS Kingdom Hearts and maybe do a little more searching on Arkham Asylum to get that 100%.
Tonight i plan on playing through mirrors edge with a bottle red pwerade oatmeal creme pies and some good ol wingstreet.
Well my weekend consits of finishing INfamous, ODST, and kicking it on World at War till tuesday. I also may play some good old Super Mario Bros to get ready for New Super Mario Wii.
In this blog: Sean's an old fart.
My weekend will be me giving sweet love to Muramasa, GTA: Episodes from Liberty City, Tekkn 6, and Lost Odyssey. Just leave me in a room by myself with some pizza and Mountain Dew and I should be good for a long while.
