Every Friday, the Games Are Evil crew rounds up their unfinished business: Games from the recent past that deserve some extra attention.
Peter Skerritt, Senior PS3 Staff Writer:
NHL 09 is taking more of my time than I thought possible. Be A Pro mode is incredibly addicting, making the game the most immersive video game rendition of the sport that I have ever played. I also have Yakuza 2 sitting here, waiting to be played for the first time… plus I’m playing Mystery Case Files: Millionheir and The Price Is Right for the DS while I’m out and about. Of course… I have a wedding to go to this weekend, which will eat into my gaming time. Curse you, matrimony!
Fanky Malloon, Retro Evil Editor:
I am still working on Too Human, GTA IV, Soul Calibur IV, Lego Star Wars:TCS. One of these days I will start Bully. My PS2 keeps telling me to finish Front Mission 4, Kingdom Hearts 2, and X-Com UFO Defense. My Gamecube wants me to play Eternal Darkness again for a review. Finally my Xbox wants me to fire up a classics collection I found on my shelf that has Pit Fighter!
Gabe Marchisio, 360 & PSP Staff Writer, Resident Guitar Hero Expert:
Recently I got my PS2 back from a friend. I’ve been dabbling in each of my old games, but the one I’m really focusing on this weekend was Ratchet: Deadlocked. Sure, it takes longer to make a sandwich than beat the game, but it sure has style. In my opinion, its the PS2′s most action-packed title. I even got my Mega Dual Raptors to Level 99! (I was so angry when I realized there was no level 100)
Bret Jennings, Guest iPhone Staff Writer
I have a copy of Spore in hand for my PC, a borrowed Wii from a friend, Mercenaries 2 for 360, all on the same weekend I restarted my Blockbuster Game Pass Account. As if that wasn’t enough, I bought 2 new games for my iPhone this week and I still haven’t finished N+ on the DS. When I got home tonight I was informed that we are driving my daughter to St. Louis (about 4 hours round trip) to her best friend’s birthday party tomorrow. It looks like the stars are aligning so I will have enough time to play and review Cro-Mag Rally for the GamesAreEvil crew.
Jason Evangelho, Evil Editor:
Despite some very evil temptations like Rock Band 2, SOCOM: Confrontation and PURE, I’m going to spend the weekend with my caffeine I.V. drip devoting some time to my Dreamcast (dying to revisit Jet Grind Radio and Shenmue), and finally progressing through Burnout:Paradise. If I’m lucky, I may even see the elusive 100% completion on GTA IV.
Let us know what dusty games you’re revisiting this weekend in the comments!
