Weekend Warrior 03/05/10
It's all about Battlefield: Bad Company 2 this weekend, and Heavy Rain for those of us in the single-player camp. Read on to find out what we're playing, then head over to the comments section and let us know what you're playing this weekend.
Andy: My weekend is going to consist of a heavy dosage of Heavy Rain, followed by sleep, and then some hard mode World of Warcraft until I can’t see straight. I know, you are saying to yourself, “this guy is a wild man.” Not everyone can live the crazy lifestyle I keep. Heck, I might even got outside once or twice to see if that glowing object that I believe they call the “sun” is still there.
Bryan: My weekend will consist of some P.B. Winterbottom, “Desperate Escape” Resident Evil 5 DLC, and some Fable 1. OMG old gamez!
Bertz: Earlier this week I took off work for a two-day tour of duty in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. That sniper-stabbing session (hiding in the bushes won't save you, buddy!) will now extend through the weekend up until I leave for GDC Monday morning. My brother's birthday is this weekend as well, which we're celebrating by taking him to the Minnesota Wild vs. Calgary Flames game Sunday afternoon.
Dan: With Mass Effect 2 conquered, my sights are solely on Battlefield: Bad Company 2 this weekend. I’ll be spending most of my free time in multiplayer, but I might finally tinker with Brutal Legend a bit as well. I’m also trying to finish both seasons of Breaking Bad again before the new season starts. I’m usually not one for re-watching drama shows, but this one is just too good. Just as good the second time around.
Sean: This weekend I complete my first play-through of Heavy
Rain (Thanks, Joe!), try to get my rookie through his first AA season
with the Sea Dogs (MLB 10: The Show), and maybe catch up on some of the
old 360 sequels I didn’t have a chance to before (Gears 2, Fable 2). Also – house hunting has begun! Hopefully in a few months I can say
that we will be moving into our first home.
Tim: With my second (evil, hard) playthrough of BioShock 2
behind me, I’m moving on to Heavy Rain. I also finally started playing
StarCraft. No, not StarCraft II, you see, I never got around to the
first one. I was a WarCraft kid through and through. Times are a
changin’, and I’m having a blast with the ancient RTS. Besides that, I
plan to play some more BioShock 2 multiplayer and hopefully some
Chrono Trigger. I want to clean my slate before FFXIII.
Annette: Now that I have (finally) completed BioShock 2, I have already begun my journey in Mass Effect. My intention was to go the Paragon route, but my dialogue tree responses are taking me in a different direction. I also plan on wrapping up P.B. Winterbottom (super fun).
Jeff M: After not being able to get into a multiplayer match on release day (thanks a lot, EA Profile linkup thingie), I’m looking forward to a whole lot of online Bad Company 2 this weekend. I might even finish the single-player campaign, too, if I run into any more server problems – that’s what it’s there for anyway, right?
