WRUP: magical combat on wheels edition

Posted Jun 1st 2007 9:30AM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: What are you playing?

What's this? An edition of WRUP that's not about the Halo 3 beta? Wha? That's right folks, there are actually some noteworthy new games out this week that may just pull you away from the beta. On one hand we have the simulation-heavy driving of Forza Motorsport 2, and on the other we have the unique magical combat of Shadowrun. We know for a fact that one of our writers has officially forsaken the Halo 3 beta for the team dynamics of Shadowrun. Will you do the same, or do you have even bolder plans for the weekend? The question, as always, is: what will you be playing this weekend?

22. Nothing but Forza 2 all weekend long. In fact, I've been playing it all week already. Gotta love gaming vacations :)

The game is simply amazing.

25. Mostly Forza2. Then RB6-Vegas and GRAW2.

26. In no particular order: Forza 2, Shadowrun, and Crackdown

I may put in some Halo 3 Beta time, but my kids enjoy watching/playing car games or helping me hunt for orbs in Crackdown (just 1 agility orb left)

28. Just got FEAR a few days ago and going to restart the campaign on a higher difficulty.

Also, R6: Vegas and maybe some PC gaming. Still contemplating re-installing Starcraft...

29. I'm waiting on ANY reviews of Shadowrun. It looks like a lot of people are.

Other than that, bit of Beta and maybe some GH2, unless I pick up C&C 3

30. Shadowrun is amazing! I've been playing the game every moment I have available.

Good luck Halo 3 multiplayer... you've officially been outdone.

35. got both forza and shadowrun run and i'm gonna jump into a bit of gears

Posted at 8:24PM on Jun 1st 2007 by Jay900

36. Probably some Guitar Hero, and I really want to get back into R6 Vegas and GRAW 2. I've also been meaning to replay some of the classic Bioware RPGs like Baldur's Gate II and Fallout.

For those looking for the Shadowrun reviews, here's a link:

37. A gamer on my friends list that loves gears went out and got shadowrun and said the game was ass and took it back the next day. Impusle buyers beware at least wait for reviews.
