WRUP: pre-GDC jitters edition


This is it folks, the final edition of WRUP before GDC 08. We've spent the last several weeks making appointments, scheduling booth visits, and getting our nails done in preparation (we here John Schappert is a sucker for pretty nails). We'll be on hand to cover the latest and greatest happenings in San Francisco this year, so keep your eye on X3F and Joystiq for all the coverage you can stomach. In the meantime, we ask you that one sacred question: what will you be playing this weekend?

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

X3F Gamertags:
Richard Mitchell -- SenseiRAM
Dustin Burg -- SuperDunners
Xav de Matos (AKA "teh new guy") -- Snypz

What were you playing? (WRUP archive)

CoD4, since I haven't played any this week, more Rock Band, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Oh..and for what it's worth, i'm a Burnout Paradise convert. I Blockbustered it last week and after playing it online with friends, i'm a fan. I just need the scratch to buy it now!

I'm going to put Rock Band on hold and continue with PGR4, Medal of Honor: Airborne and maybe get a few games of Halo 3 in on our awesome first pick in Community Content.

Probably just some Mass Effect and then some old-school RPG action a little Morrowind.

Oh and Richard, was it decided that the rest of the graphics for posts were unsuitable, or is their appearance just going to take some time?

Finishing up Assassin's Creed.

After that, Burnout Paradise, Culdcept Saga and probably some Rock Band to break things up a bit.

I would like to play Rock Band, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed and Ace Combat 6 but I will probably only have time to play Rock Band with some friends since my wife's birthday is this weekend.

I'm hoping to return a game I already have in exchange for Lost Odyssey. Unfortunately the person who bought it for me lost the receipt AND paid in cash... I'm hoping Wal-Mart still has that 3 returns without a receipt per year policy.

Not that I know of... but this is still sealed. I tried Target, but without a receipt or a card/check to look it up with, they only allow a return worth $20.
