Yay, it’s everyone’s favorite time of the week again! The weekend! There’s not been a huge quantity of big games out this past week but the quality has certainly been there.
Gamers around the world have Aion: Tower of Eternity and Order of War to play. Not forgetting a little known game called Halo: ODST.
North Americans will be enjoying the fun of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona for their PSP. While Europeans get Dead Space Extraction, Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box and (at last) Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 to tempt them this weekend.
As usual we at GamesAreEvil and sister site ThePortableGamer wanted to let you guys know how we’re hoping to spend our weekends. You might quickly notice a theme developing!
Sam: I’ll be knee-deep in Covenant corpses, the empty wasteland of New Mombasa my hunting ground. The Chief may be superhuman, but I’m the one the Covenant will be talking about in years to come. I am ODST. (We’re pretty sure that means he’s playing Halo: ODST – Ed.)
Michelle: I’ll still be playing Scribblenauts on the DS but plan to also play with my neglected iPod Touch. I’m looking forward to getting my teeth into Monster Kill a monster theme tower defense game.
Karl: This weekend I will be playing through Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST in co-op mode with a friend. Split screen for the first two, system link with the Halo 3 games. Yep, all 4. It’s totally gonna kick ass. Again.
Scott: I will be playing more Mario and Luigis Bowser’s inside story as well as some more GTA IV, Madworld, and several other games I got dirt cheap. Also I will test my limits by trying to play Leisure Suit Larry a little more since the last two time I played it ended with game crashing glitches… Maybe thy are working on a patch.
Carter: There’s a good chance that my weekend is going to be full of Halo 3:ODST, or just whatever I feel like playing. I’m still on the fence about the game, I don’t feel like I need it at all. Otherwise, there’s still a lot of Scribblenauts and iPhone games to play.
Gabriel: I plan to use this weekend to travel the world, and embark on a poignant journey of self-discovery. Nah, just kidding- I’ll actually be brutally murdering various stereotypes in the original Manhunt for the PS2. And after that, I’ll get down and dirty with DiRT 2 for PSP.
Davey: This weekend I shall be mostly be playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 if I manage to get my hands on one. Failing that I’ll likely get back into Batman: Arkham Asylum as I still haven’t given it the play time it deserves. Oh, and spend some more time with the Fifa 10 and Forza 3 demos.
Rob: I’m gonna keep Scribbling in my notebook as Maxwell in Scribblenauts. It’s just that good. I’m also going to be banging my head against the spiked and burning dungeon wall that is Demon’s Souls, for an October 1st launch day review. Beyond that, it’s Guitar Hero 5 and Beatles Rockband for my leisure and joy. Thanks for askin’!
So as you can guess, yes Halo: ODST fever has reached many of us here at GRE and TPG!
Have a great weekend all and do let us know how you plan on enjoying it.
