Your planet is calling! Answer it at GreenDaily

Filed under: What are you playing?

We spend a lot of time here at X3F reporting on games that require hours of isolation from loved ones. We more or less direct our readership to dedicate their precious hours to solitary gaming endeavors. Sure, you might be connected to Xbox Live with other gamers, but what about the flesh-and-blood ~~splicers~~ people right behind you, begging for the tiniest morsel of your ~~Adam~~ attention? It is for those people that we write this week's WRUP. So, please, make an effort to spend some time with your Big Daddy and Little Sister* this weekend. We know they would appreciate it.

We ask you to look deep inside yourself as we ask, what will you be playing this weekend?

Leaderboards:
Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard
Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk. II

3. Well I think I have about an hour left to Bioshock. My roommate got his Elite last night so I might move on to another game and let him have some quality time with Big Daddy.

I might actually do some heavy XBLA gaming the rest of the weekend as I hope to hit a gamerscore of 10,000 finally.

Also some DiRT, Shadowrun, and Madden 08 action is sure to be there as well.
