WRUP: let's count edition


Boys and girls, today's edition of What Are You Playing is brought to you by the number 4. Can you count to 4? Sure, I knew you could. What special things can we learn about the number 4 today. Let's see. 4, as in the number of players allowed in Halo 3's online co-op. 4, as in the number of cases of beer and/or Red Bull and/or tacos you will need to fuel your upcoming Halo 3 binge. 4, as in the minimum number of days you'll need to call in "sick" in order to maximize your enjoyment of Halo 3. 4, as in the number of days left until the release of Halo 3. See, learning can be fun.

Unfortunately, 4 is also the number of days that most of us won't be playing Halo 3. In other words, everyone but a select few (both sanctioned and unsanctioned by MS) will have to find something else to play over the weekend. So, what will you be playing this weekend, neighbor?

1. I'll be playing Halo 3, Geon, and completing Bioshock on hard difficulty.

2. Oops. I meant Halo 2.

Posted at 10:05AM on Sep 21st 2007 by Jonah Falcon

3. I'll be playing some Nhl 08 and going back through Bioshock on hard trying to save all the little sisters!
My copy of Halo 2 got stolen about 3 weeks ago so while I'd rather be playing back through that I guess I'll just have to wait until Tuesday at 12:01 for my fix.

4. Umm not too much this weekend, have a wedding today and in my culture we party all weekend. But Monday is right around the corner w00t!

5. Gotta finish Bioshock! AHH!

Posted at 10:18AM on Sep 21st 2007 by R. Anderson

6. why not try Call of duty 4. See what i did there.

7. Richard N'pals, remember when Mister Rogers visited the Crayola crayon factory? Or had Lou Ferigno on? Good times. I'm glad I'm a child of the 80's.



Anyway, I'll be playing mostly XBLA games really; Bomberman Live, maybe trying to finish CastleVania: SOTN with Richter.

Being the pessimist about these things, I don't want my 360 to brick up on me from disc drive errors this weekend. Besides that, I'd rather wait to get any sort of in-depth gaming going until Tuesday anyway.

8. It's all about Skate for me this weekend.

Posted at 10:24AM on Sep 21st 2007 by geeky

13. Finishing up Forza 2. Have to download all the cars my buddy sent me and send them back to him...and then boost for the 1 million credits achievement and then boosting to finish off the ranking cheevos in Full Auto.

Posted at 10:34AM on Sep 21st 2007 by DjDATZ

14. skate. CoD4. GH2. Bomberman.

Posted at 10:38AM on Sep 21st 2007 by Wizardly

15. As someone who has never been into skateboarding games, Skate. is amazingly fun. I highly recommend it to anyone interested or on the fence after playing demo.

I'll also play a little bit of COD4 demo but i'm getting a bit bored with it. And i'll be thinking of playing Halo 3.

Posted at 10:40AM on Sep 21st 2007 by Milly

16. Oh...and I already played through part of Halo 3 on my buddy's hacked 360 (yes yes, I know I shouldn't be promoting that...) and let me tell you. You WILL be floored by this game. It is absolutely BALLS INSANE and AWESOME. I have no DOUBT this game will pick up GOTY. a) It's amazing and has SO many awesome features. b) It'll sell TONS for MS, which is why they'll choose it for their GOTY.

Posted at 10:44AM on Sep 21st 2007 by DjDATZ

17. I've been playing Blue Dragon, which I feel is quite a bit better than has been let on. It's not doing anything new, but neither are most RPGs in general. The battle system is surprisingly good, particularly as the game advances and things get added to it. Admittedly there's not terribly much in the way of story or character development, but as far as traditional RPGs go it's enjoyable.

Posted at 10:45AM on Sep 21st 2007 by Tony

18. Juiced 2: HIN, Eternal Sonata, Gears of War and some Halo 2.

Posted at 10:48AM on Sep 21st 2007 by ShadowedAsh

19. Well I'll probably finish up my season on The Bigs and try to wrap up Overlord. Both titles I have enjoyed a ton.

Everyone be safe and have a great weekend.

20. I'm trying to get more achievements unlocked, doing that in Call of Cuty 3 at the moment. Also playing Battlefield 2: MC, Enchanted Arms and Halo (1)!
