While the industry bigwigs are off playing at the 2010 Game Developers Conference, hobnobbing and rubbing elbows with one another, having fun at their fancy parties and drinking copious amounts of alcohol, for us lowly peons in the independent games press it’s just another Friday night.
And you know what that means, right? Weekend Warriors time!
I’ve been sucked into the demo for Chime on XBLA pretty hard, which I’m sure I’ll be purchasing when I have a couple hundred more points to spare. Also, I’m considering poopsocking the first two Yakuza games in preparation for Yakuza 3, but still have yet to decide for sure on that one. Beyond that, I may be playing the notoriously hard-to-start-up “Podcast Recording” game tomorrow as well as the “Finish Writing Reviews and Previews” game – one that I haven’t picked up in far too long.
What about everyone out there? What’s on your playlist this weekend?
OH! I almost forgot – I’ll probably also be sampling the Blur beta on Xbox 360 now that my Live Gold subscription is renewed (thanks to my love for mini-mart sweaty roller food) – all of you should do so as well, since we are GIVING AWAY BETA CODES – SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!
But for real – drop in for a beta code (unless you don’t have an Xbox, in which case you’re kinda beat) and then pop into the comments below and tell us what you’re playing this weekend!
I’ve been completely smitten with Dead Frontier, so despite the fact that I want to play some more Borderlands, Mass Effect, etc… I’ll most likely be scrounging through a zombie infested city for various forms of loot.
I’m playing the God of War Collection in preparation of GoW3.
Also, the US vs. Canada hockey game a couple of weeks back inspired me to pick of NHL 10. Simply put: Wow. It’s a really great sports game.
This weekend starts with a lot of BioShock 2, which I’m really enjoying.
Then it’ll shift to some Pokemon Soul Silver on Sunday =)
Trying to knock out quite a bit of FFXIII this weekend in the hopes that it opens up soon. (tis pretty but I may kill someone if this hand holding goes on for much longer). Aside from that I have several demos/freebies waiting to be played on the xbox (fable 2 ch 1, aegis wing). It’s likely I’ll probably spend much of sunday afternoon checking out Blur though. :D
