Have you ever played a game knowing full well that it's not all that great? We're not talking about just to grind achievements either. You may have heard that Alone in the Dark isn't exactly setting the world on fire with critics, which is ironic given how many things you can set on fire in the game. This weekend (assuming it shows up from GameFly) we'll be plunging into Alone in the Dark. Here's hoping it's greater than the sum of its parts. How about you, fanboys? What will you be playing this weekend?

I'll be playing Alone in the Dark. It's an awesome game imo. Yes, it has some camera glitches, and stuff, but i like it. Also playing H3 of course. Can't get enough of that. And also, Top Spin 3 and Lego Indiana demos.

Finished the GTA IV story last night (!!!) so I'll be doing random character side missions, races and a-huntin' pigeons.

GTA IV Multiplayer. I was hoping to play C&C: Kanes Wrath, but since EA shipped only French units to all of Canada this week, I'm now stuck waiting for a shipment of english units to arrive. Thanks a bundle EA.

I'll be playing a little bit of Sea Life with my 5 year old and we'll run around the maps in H3 so he can drive and blow up stuff

Either Halo 3 or Lost Odyssey. Maybe both.

I'll be playing BF:BC, love that game, as well as some Wrath of Kane, a little Ticket to Ride, and may try to get the arch fiend again on NG2.

Bought Alone In The Dark on Tuesday, so I'll be playing it more. I Blockbuster'd Battlefield: Bad Company, so I'll be playing that, too.
And more COD4. I've been lambasting guys left and right in Free-For-All!

Play it and let me know how it is. I really, really want to play Alone in the Dark. But the reviews. Ughs.

I have had it for about a week now, and i like it.
It's a lot like old school Resident Evil, but the controls aren't as restricting, but they are still a little borked.
The puzzles are fun, the driving isn't great but is a nice change of pace, the amount of combinations of items you can make is fun and i enjoy burning things. lol
If you are unsure, your best bet is to rent it, and if you like it, buy it.

Will be playing some Ticket to Ride. It is a slow game, but it is challenging and a lot of fun. Hopefully the online will stay brisk. It's shocking to see other people actually playing Arcade games online.
Also will play some GTA IV and Halo 3.

I'll see if I can pick up Battlefield:BC but if not it looks like some more GTAIV and Rockband.

Hey Richard, can you please post a review or at least your impressions of Alone in the Dark after you play it some?!? The reviews are so wishy washy... I have a sealed copy sitting on my xbox, I just have not opened it yet due to my on-the-fence-ness. THANKS!!!!
