Topher:I’ve been playing a lot ofMomotaru Dentetsuon PS2, which has been turning out entirely too much like my real life. AlsoMetal Slug Anthology,Mainichi Isshou Ni,Shikigami no Shiro 2, andIkaruga.
Conrad:I took a day off and dragged my 360 away from my computer so that I could just play a few games without the distraction of the internet. Played a littleDead Rising,someGTA IV(which still hasn’t really lost its luster), and I gaveStuntman: Ignitiona spin. I also started playingFinal Fantasy Tactics Advance A2, which only served to reinforce why I don’t play tactics games after dying in the tutorial.
Jim:It’s been a veryCastlevaniaweek for me. I’m currently questing for 206 % completion onSymphony of the Night, but am annoyed that the achievement for it on XBLA is called “Seeker,” when everyone with a brain knows it should have been called “A Miserable Little Pile of Secrets.” Wasted opportunity. Finished offDawn of Sorrow, which was absolutely awesome, and am on the last boss ofPortrait of Ruin, which was a bit lame in comparison to the combined win ofNightandSorrow. Just felt very regurgitated, and rather short. Still, am really glad to finally get on board theCastlevaniatrain and can’t wait forOrder of Ecclesia.
Hamza:I’ve been playing through the originalHaloand it still stands as one of my favorite games of all time. It’s such bullshit that Bungie couldn’t capture what madeHalo 1so good inHalo 2and3.
I also hoped on a game of AgentMOO’sMaximum Overdeath gameas well as finally trying out LordRegulus’sLate Againgame.
Nick:Do you mean bland, repetitive corridors? Anyhow, I started playingSirenon PSN and thePixelJunk Edendemo is just about the greatest thing ever. Also, I’m playingGuitar Hero: Aerosmithfor the achievements, even though it’s the most boringGuitar HeroI’ve ever played.
Hamza:Yeah, pretty much.Halo1 had such huge environments compared to the others and lots of action going on in them.
Justin:Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune,Pixeljunk Monsters,Super Stardust HD, and a bunch of random demos.
Niero:This weekend I played with women. Pics coming!
Dale:I’m playingZoids Assaultfor an upcoming Destructoid review. In the meantime, I’ve dusted offNocturne. It’s such a great game!
Grim:I gotF.E.A.R.for $4 at a garage sale … I want my money back.
Colette:I snuck in a little bit ofFinal Fantasy IVon the way to Los Angeles, which feels like 3 years ago but was actually two weeks ago. I’m about to board yet another plane, and I’ll probably play the same thing on the way home. I know, my life is a carnival of thrills and variety.
Niero:I had an envious weekend ofFFIV,Little Big Planet,GhostbustersandKingdom of Loathing. I didn’t get to play any of the above for as long as I wanted but I got to duet Lovefool with T’zaaaaar.
DMV:SomeDevil May Cry 3along with a bit more inCastlevania: Portrait of Ruin. I enjoy theMetroidvaniagames, but it’s a mindless grind for me.
