The lights are on
Editors are starting to dive into new games like Defiance now that some of them have finished up BioShock Infinite. Well, they will if the game actually works this weekend.
Mike Futter: After an amazing first week at Game Informer, I feel on top of the world… so I'm going to conquer it. Civilization V is in my future. I'll also be diving back into Dead Island to prepare for the upcoming release of Deep Silver's sequel. Finally, I need to get my hands on WWE 13. Wrestlemania is this weekend, and if Dan Ryckert taught me anything, it's FAN-DAAAAN-GOOOOO.
Jeff Marchiafava: This week I’ve got two huge games on my plate: Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite. Hopefully I can finish up Lara’s latest adventure tonight, and then devote some serious time to BioShock over the rest of the weekend. Then again, I might just put my tomb-raiding shenanigans on ice and dive right into Columbia.
Kyle Hilliard: Ben Hanson assures me that I have completed four-fifths of BioShock Infinite, so I should be able to finish out Booker and Elizabth’s adventure this weekend, hopefully tonight. I am looking forward to being able to peruse Twitter and Reddit and walk around the Game Informer offices without fear of spoilers. Otherwise it’s baby watching, news writing, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate playing, and calzone eating. I have been craving calzones for some reason the past few days.
Tim Turi: This weekend I may be cranking on my reviews for the console version of Resident Evil: Revelations and Dead Island: Riptide. In my spare time I hope to grind out a few levels in Dragon Fantasy Book I and maybe a little Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
Louis Garcia: Saturday is the opening match of the season for Minnesota United FC, the pro soccer team in the Twin Cities. I’ll be enjoying the festivities as well as the match, and most likely playing actual soccer as well as its virtual form. I’m guessing a lot of Wii will be played since it’s my birthday today and a number of people are visiting. I'm going to have to bust out some WarioWare: Smooth Moves and Super Smash Bros. Brawl!
Jason Pfitzer: This weekend I will be playing a gratuitous amount of Age of Empires 2 HD, and if I find myself in need of a break I'll start my second playthrough of Bioshock Infinite.
Ben Hanson: This weekend I will continue the fantastic tag-team of Lego City Undercover and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Lego City Undercover may be the funniest game I've ever played; I'm really loving it. It is the exact game I was waiting for on my Wii U. Outside of that, I'm curious about this whole Battleblock Theater game since I've heard the arcade mode compared to Super Smash Bros. and I'm a sucker for all things Smash-related. Have a good weekend!
Andrew Reiner: I still want to give Defiance on Xbox 360 a chance. The last time I tried logging into the game, I entered a queue that read "2 days." The time before that was "3 hours, 53 minutes." In the times when I was able to log into the game, I encountered crippling frame rate drops and graphical glitches just as much as I did enemies to defeat. The game is a mess right now. I'm hoping last night's patch fixes things. If so, that's my weekend. If not, I'm diving into my stack of games to play Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Borderlands 2's DLC.
Planning on finishing Bioshock: Infinite. Such a fantastic game.
I'm gonna try and beat Luigis Mansion: DM this weekend, might continue Hitman: Absolution, and Im gonna try and keep playing the original Metal Gear Solid, bought it on psn cuz I've been wanting to get into the series for a while and might as well start with the first one right? Also gonna be watching a lot of Mad Men to get ready for the season premiere Sunday
I will finish Bioshock (the first one) this weekend. Then will start FF XIII.
Finished up Infinite and now I'm knee deep in Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. Love it so much, didn't get to play the first one so it's hitting the spot after watching the Super Replay. I also finally started Dishonored and I'm lost in that world too.
I've worked all weekend but when i've had time it has been Borderlands 2 mayhem with my friend. When I get the chance I want to go back and play through the new God of War again so I can clean up the trophies and get a platinum. Also sometime next week I might grab a copy of Saints Row the Third as i've heard nothing but fantastic things and I love me a good sandbox game.
I finally finished playing The Walking Dead last night...then spent about 20 minutes crying and feeling empty. Now I have to choose another game to start, but I'm not sure what yet. I should also try to organize my gaming shelf again, but I'm afraid I'm out of room. I may start up Assassin's Creed III or hop back in to Sleeping Dogs. Or I may just continue my playthrough of Mario and Luigi's Superstar Saga. I know why this game is so well remembered now, it's very fun!
I'm gonna download Defiance! Who needs Bioshock Infinite or Tomb Raider?!
I'm gonna wait another week or so to play Age of Empires, I wanna see what kinds of mods people come up with.
Sounds like an alright weekend to me.
Going through Call of Duty 2 on veteran.
I've been playing Defiance on the PS3 and all is well for the most part. There are times when things don't load right away and for some reason I keep timing out from the server but other than that I love it!
wow. sounds like I dodged the bullet by getting the PC version of Defiance. easily my favorite game of the year so far!
Played God of War Ascension with my boy and I pitched my first ever no hitter on mlb the show 13 with Aroldis Chapman!!!
Played Catherine (almost done!) and my second playthrough of Persona 4 Golden.
I want to max out all the social links this time with New Game+. There are so many more new ones this time! I must get the "real" ending this time! Love this game.
I want to pick up Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon & Lego City Undercover soon to start on those.
I have such a massive backlog but it's so hard when there are so many great games coming out! #firstworldproblems
