<div align="left">If you're planning on playing a lot of <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/bionic-commando-rearmed"><em>Bionic Commando Rearmed</em></a> this weekend -- a course of action we heartily condone -- remember to be <em>safe</em>. Please, please resist the urge to craft your own grappling apparatus for use in real life. We realize it would probably shave a lot of time off of your commute, but trust us when we say it's not worth the risk. The last time we attempted to make a grappling gun, it didn't end well (that's not a joke, I was 12 at the time). So, take it easy out there bionic soldiers.<br /><br />With that out of the way, what will you be playing this weekend?</div>

<a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/braid"><em>Braid</em></a> is a wonderful game. We can't stop saying it, and we won't stop saying it either. Everyone should at least <em>try</em> the game. It's pretty, it has beautiful music, and the gameplay is clever and fresh. Okay, that's all. End of rant (for now). There are plenty of <em>other</em> games to play, after all, many of them <em>good</em> ones. Just what will you be playing this weekend, hmmm?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

Getting both <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/soul-calibur-4"><em>Soul Calibur IV</em></a> and <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/geometry-wars-2"><em>Geometry Wars 2</em></a> this week seems something like an embarrassment of riches. Truth be told, we have been nearly incapable of pulling ourselves away from <em>Geometry Wars 2</em>. It has quite honestly impacted our work-flow around here. It is the sole reason why this edition of WRUP has arrived so late. Comparing an addicting game to crack is an overused metaphor to be sure, but we find ourselves with a single metaphor that's more apt. <em>Geomery Wars 2 </em>is a helluva drug.<br /><br />What will your drug of choice be this weekend?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

As we mentioned in the Week in Review, things are a little hectic at Fanboy Towers these days. It's E3 time you see, so we are busy, like bih-<em>zee</em>. Scheduling time with games, interviews, and trying to make sure we have enough time to do less important things like, say, eating: it's enough to addle the brain. What will we be playing this weekend? Dustin and Richard (hey, that's me!) will be playing the packing and flying to LA game. Terrence and Xav? They'll be playing the prepare for a metric ton of press releases and assets game.<br /><br />Don't worry if you feel left out, because you can <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/07/10/microsofts-e3-08-conference-lets-play-bingo/">play along at home</a> next week. In the meantime, we must ask, what will you be playing this weekend?<br /><strong><br />Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

As you may have heard, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/07/04/happy-fourth-of-july-from-x3f/">it's the fourth of July</a>. At this time we're thankful that this isn't some sort of futuristic audio blog, because chances are that a good number of our readers are now deaf from all the (possibly illegal) fireworks they've been setting off. Yes, Independence Day is a good thing, but Independence Day on a <em>Friday</em>? Now that's<em> </em>a recipe for <em>legends</em>. So go, fanboys and fangirls! Gather up the life stories that you will one day tell your children and grandchildren, the stories of how you spent the 4th of July weekend in 2008. Allow us to borrow from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apu">Apu Nahasapeemapetilon</a> and suggest that you "Celebrate the independence of your nation by blowing up a small part of it."<br /><br />Speaking of how to spend the weekend, we are reminded that video games will likely be a part of everyone's glorious adventures over the next three days. We also realize that not all of our readers will be celebrating this particularly American holiday, but we'll be sure to set some fireworks off for you too, okay? <br /><br />Please, share with us your gaming (or non-gaming plans) for this weekend.<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

<div align="left">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 <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/20/metareview-alone-in-the-dark-euro-edition/">heard</a> that <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/alone-in-the-dark"><em>Alone in the Dark</em></a> 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.

With no games coming out this week and a somewhat random smattering the week before, it seems that summer -- and the accompanying drought of games -- may finally be here. Checking our calendar ... yep, it's officially <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solstice">summer</a> today (at 11:59pm anyway). Imagine that. Still, the drought shouldn't last too long, as we are getting the (hopefully good) <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/alone-in-the-dark"><em>Alone in the Dark</em></a> next week (and the <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/05/28/contents-revealed-for-new-gears-of-war-edition/"><em>Gears of War</em> re-release</a>, if you still don't have it).

Wow, we went from a trickle of new releases to a veritable explosion of new, decent games. From <em><a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/ninja-gaiden-2">Ninja Gaiden II</a> </em>to <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/06/04/x3f-tv-xbla-in-brief-aces-of-the-galaxy-and-roogoo/"><em>Roogoo</em></a> to the <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/civilization-revolution"><em>Civilization Revolution</em></a> demo (seriously, try it), there's something for everyone it seems. Hell, there's even a <em>fishing</em> game <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/06/09/shipping-this-week-random-edition/">available</a>. So many choices, so little time. The question to you is which choice will you make or, more precisely, what will you be playing this weekend?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

<div align="left">Let's take a moment to be personal. We've made no secret of the fact that we're <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/ninja-gaiden-2"><em>Ninja Gaiden</em></a> fanboys (this blogger <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3123233&amp;op=1&amp;o=all&amp;view=all&amp;subj=13788958061&amp;aid=-1&amp;oid=13788958061&amp;id=854740021">in particular</a>), so when we ask you what you will be playing this weekend, we hope your answer is <em>Ninja Gaiden II</em>. Five levels into the game thus far, it hasn't disappointed. We totally understand if <em>Ninja Gaiden</em> isn't your thing (we hear <em>GRID</em> is supposed to be pretty good), but action fans really should look into it.<br /><br />So, what <em>will</em> you be playing this weekend?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

Action fans may have noticed a certain tingling over the last few days, a disturbance in <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/05/29/soul-calibur-iv-yoda-video-and-new-screens/">the Force</a>, if you will. While it's possible that such tingling is the result of possible health problem, we're more than willing to bet that you're just sensing the imminent arrival of <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/ninja-gaiden-2"><em>Ninja Gaiden II</em></a> next Tuesday. Who knows, maybe you even have a Japanese friend who was nice enough to let you play the demo. If you can, we suggest that it should be what you play this weekend. Still, it's WRUP, so we have to ask: what will you be playing this weekend.<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

We are absolutely not the preachy type. It's not like we think video games are <em>bad</em> for you or anything. Far from it really. In fact, we wouldn't even have <em>jobs</em> if it weren't for video games, so we've proven, at the very least, that games are good for you (well, for <em>us</em> anyway). Still, too much of anything isn't healthy. With <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/spring-showcase-08">spring in bloom</a> and the blazing hot days of summer still in the distance, why not go outside and enjoy the wonders of nature. Marvel at every object in sight, all realistically rendered in real definition. Think of it like the ultimate sandbox game (no extra lives though, sorry).<br /><br />Now that you've done that, it's time for us to ask that time-honored question: what will you be playing this weekend?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

We were positively inundated with gaming news this week, largely in thanks to Microsoft's <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/spring-showcase-08">Spring Showcase</a>. We received new info about nearly all of Microsoft's upcoming game lineup, including <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/gears-of-war-2"><em>Gears of War 2</em></a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/ninja-gaiden-2"><em>Ninja Gaiden II</em></a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/fable-2"><em>Fable 2</em></a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/banjo-kazooie-3"><em>Banjo Kazooie</em></a>, and more. Basically, we got to look at games we won't be able to play for months (with the exception of <em>Ninja Gaiden II</em> ... drool). Don't get us wrong, we're happy to get the info, but we're <em>angry</em> that we have to wait. So, we're just going to sulk over in the corner. As for the everyone else, what will you be playing this weekend?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

Okay, we know that most everyone is <em>still</em> playing <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/gtaiv"><em>Grand Theft Auto IV</em></a>. That's fine. We can accept that. However, with summer fast approaching, we find ourselves reflecting on games past. Given the usually thin trickle of releases during the summer months, it's a good time to take some older (and cheaper) games for a spin. For instance, we just wrapped up the single-player campaign in <em>Marathon: Durandal</em> for <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/XBLA/">XBLA</a>. The <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/05/08/marathon-durandal-dlc-video-blowout/">upcoming DLC</a> got us all excited, what can we say? Of course, we don't speak for everyone, so we must ask again: what will you be playing this weekend?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

You know, this week it might be more productive if only the those who <em>aren't</em> playing <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/gtaiv"><em>Grand Theft Auto IV</em></a> post what they're playing. Honestly, if our friends list is any indication, there aren't many of you out there. Yes, even Dustin, our resident <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/halo-3"><em>Halo 3</em></a> fanboy, has been sucked into the sweet embrace of <em>GTAIV</em>. Whatever the case, as usual, we are required to ask: what will you be playing this weekend? Forget what we said about only commenting if you're not playing <em>GTAIV</em>, though.

This is it, folks. It's the last stop, the final hurdle before the launch of <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/gtaiv"><em>Grand Theft Auto IV</em></a>. All we have to do is make it through the weekend and Monday (and Tuesday morning if you don't have the stomach for <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/04/25/gamestops-list-o-gtaiv-midnight-release-stores/">midnight launches</a>), and we can all get our grubby little meat hooks on Rockstar's latest. That's three days to fill with something, <em>anything</em> that will pass the time. What will it be for you?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

Okay, let's face it: whatever we're playing right now, we're not <em>really</em> playing it. No, we're just going through the motions. The controller rumbles, the screen flickers and the speakers belt out explosions, but inside there is only one recurrent thought: <em>this isn't <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/gtaiv">Grand Theft Auto IV</a></em>. It's not like it's any particular games fault. After all, no game -- with one obvious exception -- is <em>Grand Theft Auto IV</em>. So, we shall sit and play and dream. And yes, next week's WRUP will likely be titled "4 days to go edition."<br /><br />So, what will you be (pretending) to play this weekend?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

This week, we can't help but be super excited for the upcoming <em>Halo 3</em> Legendary Map Pack. With the maps now less than a week away, fervor has reached a fever pitch around Fanboy Towers. Of course, Dustin managed to snag the maps early and flaunt his prize by creating a <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/04/11/x3f-tv-halo-3-legendary-map-pack-dissection/#comments">walthrough of all the new maps</a>. As such, he's been hiding <em>somewhere</em> around here, scared to show his face lest it be battered by a barrage of jealousy-induced <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/23/gears-lancer-made-with-nerf-and-toy-chainsaw/">Nerf gunfire</a>. Don't you worry, we'll find him eventually.<br /><br />What about you though, dear reader, what will you be playing this weekend?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

Ah, DLC. It's just the perfect thing to maintain interest in a game and make a little scratch as well. This week, we imagine most of you (if the Xbox Live top ten is anything to go by) will be enjoying some <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/cod4"><em>Call of Duty 4</em></a>, now with <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/04/04/cod4-variety-map-pack-now-available/">new and exciting maps</a>. Yes, gamers everywhere can now cap fools in entirely new locales. Gosh, it's just so exciting we can barely maintain our composure. But, you can't <em>all</em> be playing <em>COD4</em> this weekend, so, the important question must be asked: what will you be playing this weekend?<br /><br /><strong>Leaderboards:<br /></strong><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=VArbijtX">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard</a><br /><a href="http://www.mygamercard.net/clboard.php?id=cR1usRtS">Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk.

They say that familiarity breeds contempt. That's true to a point, but it's certainly not a widely held axiom in the game development community. Well, not the game <em>publishing</em> community anyway. Thus, this week, the biggest release is the sequel to <em>Rainbow Six Vegas</em>, cleverly titled <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/rainbow-six-vegas-2"><em>Rainbow Six Vegas 2</em></a>. The only question is whether or not it can pull any fanboys away from <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/cod4"><em>Call of Duty 4</em></a> and <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/halo-3"><em>Halo 3</em></a> long enough to make an impact.
