Whatru playing the first week/weekend of 2008?

[bork]

DC, I'd like to try playing some KUF with you sometime!

I was at several arcades most of the day yesterday, playing Virtua Fighter 5 and Tekken 6.  I really, really prefer VF5 to TK6 right now.  Also played some KOF Maximum Impact Regulation A (there was actually a guy playing it at the arcade!!  ) and Halo 3.

Just hit Disk 2 in BK:O. The boss that opens up disk 2 is fucking HARD but I kicked his ass, only after about 4 tries

Still playing Oblivion on the PS3.  Still not sure why exactly.

[MrAngryFace]

playin WoW PVP most of today. Alliance has been especially stupid today and let over-confidence hand the horde a win almost every match.

Pro-Tip: If you're winning WSG dont start farming, if youre losing at AB, you'll need more than Blacksmith.

I borrowed Assassin's Creed from my buddy yesterday, and I played a bunch today. I never thought holding down two buttons and moving the joystick could be so fun. I spent an hour jumping and climbing through the city, killing innocents just for kicks a la Patrick Bateman, grabbing flags whenever I saw them. The graphics, most notably the animation, are pretty damn impressive. What's the name of this engine again? Because it's fucking great. I know I'm late to the EB love-in, as games have about a one week hype lifespan here, and I also know the game does probably get a bit repetitive (my friend even told me this), but I think the setting will carry me through.

[brawndolicious]

yeah, don't bother with the flags too much, way too many to get an achievement.  just keeping to the side-missions marked on your map and the main story, you're guaranteed to get around 810 achievement points.  make sure you sit through all of the credits.  I started and finished it last week, pretty easy game and not that long but the story and gameplay were both awesome.

Yup, that's the one! Son of a bitch... disk 1 was fantastic, honestly this game is leaps and bounds over its predecessor, only thing I liked better was the battle system in the first game was a bit more interesting. So far, the first part of disk 2 is annoying (too much back-and-forth to do) though I'd daresay this is the #2 best game on Cube.

see yu next time

Naw, leave it open until next weekend.  Hell, just leave it open.  No need to lock it.

i played lots of wow this past weekend, trying to get a hunter to 40.

i'm playing deep labyrinth and it's making me want to put King's Field 1 - 2 and Shadow Tower on my PSP

I played 4 player Rock Band and had people google-eyed at my falsetto.  Years of singing Roxanne in the car paid off 

[bork]

I played some VF5 for 360 today.  Got my ass kicked up and down online, although I DID manage to get a perfect round against a much higher-ranked player, which caused me to laugh my ass off and lose the next round badly.     I beat another guy a couple of rounds just alternating between standing and ducking punches.  These guys don't seem to expect or know how to deal with the simple stuff; it's weird.  I got KOF Neowave for XBox today in the mail.  No one is playing it online.

Shadow Tower eh?

I have that game and its hard to the core hard.....

Try it on PS3 in 720p - looks great actually!

I just played Rock Band at Best Buy with some random dude for like an hour and a half. It was awesome. I can almost beat all the songs on Hard drums now just from one night of playing on Festivus and a couple of times at Best Buy.
