I get the feeling that it’s going to be a slow news night. That’s okay. I have 72,000 zombies that aren’t going to kill themselves.
The Destructoid staff spend a little time each week playing videogames. And, once a week, we talk about the videogames we played during that time. It’s a complicated process, but if you read along I’m sure you’ll come to grok it in due time.
Chester:Comic Jumper,Rock Band 3,Wii Party, about ten minutes ofMedal of Honor, someShaun White Skateboardingfor a preview, and the “Last Minute Comic-Con Scheduling” game.
Bennet H.:To drunk but I hasEnslaved. Tameen is cute.
Concelmo:SO MANY GAMES THIS WEEK! Finished my replay ofFinal Fantasy IX(awesome!), playedPlants vs. Zombiesfor the first time (amazing!), gaveComic Jumpera whirl (so good!), and took onDead RisingandDead Rising 2(a’ight and pretty good, respectively!).
Razak:Just downloadPsychonautsfor my first play through and I’m hoping it will run on my crappy laptop. As for games I actually played,Darksiders. That’s pretty much it.
Toletino:Despite Games For Windows Live’s staunchest attempts, I was able to playDead Rising 2on the PC. Me likey, though the limit on inventory space is really chewing on my nuts.
And speaking of chewing on people’s nuts, why is it that the female zombies always go for Chuck’s junk?
Oh, and also playingFront Mission Evolvedfor the review.
Aziz:Homefront,Kirby’s Epic Yarn,Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon,Nat Geo Challenge! Wild Life,Beyond Good & Evil HD,From Dust,Outlander,Scott PilgrimDLC stuff,Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, random Ubisoft Facebook games,Hydrophobia,Comic Jumper,Super Meat Boyand of course,Halo: Reach.
Ross:Civilization V,Valkyria Chronicles II,Super Street Fighter IV, andDead Rising 2.
Bennett C.:SO jealous of Hamza’aEarth Defense Forceexperience! That being said, I played someLara Croft and the Guardian of Lightthis week and was pretty floored by how fun it is, both in single player and co-op mode. Also working my way through all the bonus modes ofSpace Invaders Infinity Gene, totally admiring theEnslaveddemo for its cinematic action thrills, and just startingLast Window: The Secret of Cape West, which I’m hoping will rock as much asHotel Duskdid.
Leray:I haven’t played much of anything this week, just a littlePokemon HeartGold.
Oh, and Matthew, if you’re trying to runPsychonautson your PC, I highly recommend using a wired 360 controller, or a Dualshock 2 adapter + a program like Xpadder. The keyboard and mouse controls are, to use a technical term, dogshit. You’re really going to want some analog sticks.
Sterling:I have played:
Enslaved: Awesome.Samurai Warriors 3: Neat.Blade Kitten: Dull.Hydrophobia: Shit.Quantum Theory: Shitter
Devore:I spent an entire afternoon playingDead Rising 2co-op, another afternoon playing theTerror Is Realitymultiplayer mode, and a few nights withComic Jumper. I also played this indie PC title calledDelve Deeper; my review should be up on the site by the time you read this.
Sarkar:I spent my week playingNHL 11forreview, and not playingHydrophobia. I also watched a friend play the PSNScott Pilgrimgame, which looks marginally fun but has awesome music.
Holmes:Pokemon White,Super Meat Boy,Dead Rising 2,A Kappa’s Trail,Ouendan 2,Zeit2,Kirby’s Epic Yarn,Scott Pilgrim(featuring Knives Chau),Outland, tons of games on Niero’s multi-game arcade cabinet.
THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST WEEK EVER.
Perlee:Demo ofEnslaved,Kirby’s Epic Yarn,Beyond Good and Evil HD,Scott Pilgrim,Civ V, and some other stuff I cannot remember. Oh!Hard CorpsandRush N Attack.
