WRUP: v = u + at edition


Friday is upon us again and it's time for another exciting edition of "What are you playing?" We didn't have any super amazing retail releases this week (anyone actually find Star Trek?) but there was a brand new Xbox Live Arcade release in the form of RoboBlitz. Personally, I've been playing RoboBlitz like kuh-razy. Its physics driven gameplay has me smitten. Just wait until you get the grapple beam; it becomes an entirely different game. It's no secret that I'm a huge proponent of XBLA and RoboBlitz is a great example of what the service can do. Of course, I'll also be dipping into Viva Piñata some more. I'm also finally 100% on Lego Star Wars II, though I may go back for a few achievements. I might be down for some insane or multiplayer Gears if anyone is interested (message me here). Oh, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance should be landing in my mailbox today, too. Spiderman FTW!

So, what about all of you? What will you be playing this weekend?

Posted at 10:00AM on Dec 8th 2006 by Zim

4. Gears. Still. Duh.

5. I recently reignited my love affair with COD3, so I'll be taking a break from Gears to play some of that - though the thought of coop with you, Rich, has made me swoon.

6. I'll be continuing my unhealthy addiction to Viva Pinata...

Posted at 10:28AM on Dec 8th 2006 by audioeric

7. I'll be getting my 50 hours played (real-time) acheivement in Viva Pinata. Been playing that game like crazy with my girlfriend. We are 30 years old :-) and maybe some Vegas and GEARS if she happens to fall asleep. :)

8. Having experienced a fantastic session of me and fiance on the couch vs friends over live on Small Arms, i think that's going to happen again.

Other than that, GEARS on Hardcore for some more GS, and hopefully finish with Dom on my bro's coop game.

Will probably try out Roboblitz again, but it's not saying 1200 points to me yet.

Posted at 10:42AM on Dec 8th 2006 by edhe

9. Gears, Single and Multi. NBA 2k7 and I'll probably be picking up Viva.

Oh and the fun games of "Work" and "Christmas Shopping".

Posted at 10:45AM on Dec 8th 2006 by jcarpio

10. Gears multiplayer achievements. Just bought Lumines (can I play that multiplayer with random people or do I have to invite a friend?). And while waiting on WoW raids, Geometry Wars.

11. roboblitz! loving that game... wait until you get the super jump upgrade! I don't wanna ruin it but you can string some awesome moves using the jump and grapple beam... I also played some GoW co-op and versus, but its getting old quick. bring on the halo 3 beta!

Posted at 11:13AM on Dec 8th 2006 by jay see six

12. Geometry Wars, Call of Duty 2, Project Gotham Racing 3, Saints Row, Marble Blast Ultra, and some demos and trial games (eg. RoboBlitz, Cars demo etc.)

Call of Duty 2 and PGR3 will NEVER get old (I've had them for a year now) and still play them online regularly and occasionally offline.

13. Star Trek Legacy was sadly postponed (again!) till next week for the 360. That news came down the day before release! However, the PC version of it WAS released this week, 2 days late.

Posted at 11:22AM on Dec 8th 2006 by Excelsior 2K

14. I believe Star Trek Legacy was delayed one more week. No retail releases for the 360 this week.

Posted at 11:23AM on Dec 8th 2006 by Viridium

15. FYI: Star Trek Legacy has been delayed until December 12th, although the PC version is now in stock at most stores.

Posted at 11:33AM on Dec 8th 2006 by Intangilbe 360

16. finishing Rainbow Six story mode, ranking up in multi-player (ssgt. currently) and playing GoW multiplayer. maybe some Viva and Small Arms thrown in.

Posted at 11:34AM on Dec 8th 2006 by adam

17. Probably nothing. My 360 fanboy days may be over. Mainly because I feel a little stupid for now saying "My launch console is fine" so many times.

BOTH of our Xbox 360's red-lighted the day before yesterday. They've been acting funny since the last update (freezing randomly, etc).

Even better...my launch 360's year extension ran up at the end of November. The other one was made in April. I use a UPS, the other didn't. Neither was in an entertainment center, so airflow is fine.

=\ And I wanted to get some more Small Arms in this weekend. Microsoft's agent said they were "upgrading their systems" yesterday, so I have to call again today and see what the damage is going to be.

Posted at 11:43AM on Dec 8th 2006 by SuicideNinja

18. Still GoW of course, and I dusted off NHL 2k6.

Posted at 11:46AM on Dec 8th 2006 by Nutman

19. I'll be playing the "pack a dead XBox 360 in a box and send it to Microsoft for repairs" game.

Yes, my 2005 manufactured XBox 360 finally died last Sunday. It's exhibiting every possible symptom...error codes E71 and E79, three red rings of death, bootup sequence freezing, freezing in the dashboard, freezing in games.

Repair is free, but Microsoft thinks I should pay for shipping. Greedy bastards.

I'll be playing with my Wii instead. I will be chasing a round of 300 in Wii Sports Bowling and maybe some Zelda as well.

20. I finally got my 100% achievement in Lego Star Wars II and finished Marvel Ultimate Alliance last weekend. I'm going to download RoboBlitz this weekend and probably start Zelda... been having too much fun with Wii Sports and Rayman to sit down and dig in for 60 hours with Link. Good times.
