WRU Playing: Obvious edition [update 1]


We almost forgot it's Friday, and that can mean only one thing. That's right, it's time for another exciting edition of What Are You Playing! Of course, this may be the first week that I can guess what most of you are playing. Let's see, using only the powers of my mind, I'm going to guess you're playing Gears of War this weekend. Was I right? Was I close?

All kidding aside, it might be more relevant to ask what people are playing besides Gears of War -- especially our European friends who have to wait another week for the game. So, are you rocking anything else? Any Project 8 or maybe a few achievement runs in Contra? For that matter, who picked up Viva Piñata? Leave a comment and tell us what you're playing this weekend. Don't forget to stop by one of our leaderboards for some friendly competition or co-op, too. Also, we've got a new feature for WRUP: What Were You Playing. Simply click the link below and you can browse our What Are You Playing archive. Go dig up your old comments and you'll always know what you were playing. Reminisce about your gaming past, courtesy of 360 Fanboy.

Leaderboards:
Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard

Update: Fixed the What Were You Playing link.

21. Not playing anything. I ordered GoW from Buy.com wednesday night. Now I checked and the status is still "Sent to Warehouse" so I canceled it. At this rate I'll still be waiting for it on monday and I wanna play the weekend away.

26. Im playing project 8. Great game. Probably gonna rent GOW when I get around to it. Like ROB said, looks fun, but multiplayer seems WAY to lacking with only 8 players and team deathmatch style only. COD3 looks like a huge improvment in the multiplayer department from COD2, but Im just not a fan of the almost 1 hit kill nature of the game. Viva piniata looks good from that interactive video I saw, but I need to play an actual demo of the game before I commit to buying it.

so for now, im stuck with Project 8. That should last me another week or so, then ill have the wii with zelda (well maybe, still dont know if im gonna buy it or not)

27. COD3 mostly with a bit of GOW sprinkled in. I like COD3 more you don't have to unload 3 clips into a Nazi's head to move to next target..

28. Well on tuesday i went to pick up GOW but they were all out. So on Wednsday i woke at 6:30 am went to Best Buy at 11 am and they had like 2 more copies. So u might have guessed what im playin this weekend . Also GOW is not overhype and everybody thats critizing it is jealouse.

29. Gears when I get on my 360, its currently being occupied though >.<

30. Waiting for GoW here in Europe... In the meantime, I'm playing Jade Empire. Quite random, I know but I didn't have an Xbox. I'm a Sony convert (and glad).

Jade Empire is great!

32. GOW (Yes, I agree way overhyped but great none the less) COD 3 (excellent, but what the hell is up with allof the pop up glitches) finished SCDA (little on the short side, but great!!) NHL 07 til death, Tiger Woods 07 (AWESOME, great gambling game) Saints Row (Multiplayer is awesome too....just formed a gang this week with some friends and family)

Too many great games out now.....can't wait to play FEAR, THPS P8, and oh hell yes, Rainbow Six VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

33. How do I join the Xbox360FanBoy Leaderboard!? I'm a member of MGC.net so how do I do this!? PLZ HELP!

34. Russell,

I've already beaten that "Don't fuck up in college" game. I'm thinking about going back and doing it again to unlock that "4.0" achievement, but I'm more likely to check out overtime mode.

Dracula, thanks for the tip on the Return of the Jedi super story mode. I've got a ways to go before I get 99/100 (Uh, I think I'm at like 30 or something), but I'll try to do that earlier.
