Last night we had a bit of a gaming bender at Kotaku Towers West, a night filled with Wii Fit, We Ski, and Rock Band. The highlight, of course, was a two hour Cruis'n session—the Wii shitware title that was finally freed from its shrinkwrap confines last night to much amusement. It's absolutely the most unintentionally hilarious game I've ever played, with some of the sloppiest game design ever... even for a Cruis'n title. Rarely has a game brought me to tears with laughter, so Cruis'n should at least be lauded for that. Highly recommended for your next game night, especially if booze is available.
This weekend I'll be ditching the Cruis'n as I get back to R-Type Command and continue my Rock Band duties, now with added Boston. How about you? Weekend plans?










Comments
If anything, GTA IV.
REZ HD and Tsukihime
Team Fortress 2 and Doom 3.

I'll probably try the Race Driver GRID demo... after that.. hmm dunno.
Guess I should go pick up GTA IV soon.
GTA IV and the Conan Beta will take up my gaming time this weekend.

MGS1
MK Wii
Vegas 2 and Halo 3
MGO, EOJ, COD, and a few other acronyms
MGO Beta Ends on Sunday...everyone get a few rounds in this weekend...next month comes the full release.
Echochrome, GTA IV, FES
Puzzle Fighter
GTAIV. Haze if it will download
I've got my R Type Command preorder waiting for me at Gamestop, but I'm just not really excited about going to get it for some reason. I'll prob play a little Daxter PSP staying in bed way too long, but mostly I'll be taking a gaming break this weekend.
Persona 3: FES, WoW and Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations.
I'll certainly be picking up R-Type Command when my financial situation is a bit more friendly, though.
I've probably said it in every 'Weekend' post but it's more TEAM FORTRESS 2 for me. I'm also playing GOD OF WAR: CHAINS OF OLYMPUS and PIXELJUNK MONSTERS.
GTA IV, and the new PSN Demos that came out. Might hit up some Rock Band too.
Mario Kart Wii
Maybe start-up MGS2.
GTA IV, TWEWY, CrossworDS
Boom Blox - Wii
Just finished up Explore mode and will be working on Adventure Mode now.
Iron Man - 360
Going through on Formidable (Hardest) difficulty. Only two levels left then I'm done for good.
Gears of War - 360
Recently been going back through in Co-op with a friend on Insane. We're underground now (forget the level name) and plan on finishing that this weekend hopefully with the new GOW2 hype train going in full effect I kinda have to. ;)
GTA IV - 360 + PS3
I've put a pathetic amount of hours into this one, so maybe I'll try to put a dent in the 30-hour story mode. I've mostly just been playing MP free mode and harassing people via helicopter.
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga - 360
I'm at 89% now, and have been wanting to finish off the final bit for a full 100% for a while, so I'll probably finish that off this weekend as well.
Yakuza, Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan, Persona 3, MGO, maybe some TF2, finally finishing Ace Attorney 3, maybe go back to some Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy as well.
@Seiven: true, im def sprikling in sessions of MGO, sad to see the beta end (sniffles) at least we only have to wait a month from now.
GTA IV. Then I'm going to try and string out an MGS 1,2, and 3 marathon.
I'm probably taking it easy this weekend and sticking to DS puzzlers. I picked up CrossworDS (or however you're supposed to write that) yesterday, and so far it's not bad for the $18 I paid for it at Costco. I've also been meaning to spend some more time on Picross DS but the cartridge seems to be lost in the pile of detritus on my desk which I really need to clean up.
GTA4 (really the first time that I've agreed with a perfect 10-review), GRID demo, Bourne demo, Haze demo. And a bunch of anime.
GTA II on a PC running Windows 98
Now get off my lawn you whippersnappers
GTA IV. duh.
GTA4 on the 360, Uncharted and MLB08 The Show since I got the PS3 2 weeks ago.
Uhm games, i'll probably just keep refreshing is page throughout the weekend. @:-/
It's a GTAIV and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue weekend again for me.
360 - GTA IV
Wii - MK Wii / River City Ransom
PS3 - GT5 Prologue
PSP - FFVII Crisis Core
DS - The World Ends With You / Advanced Wars
PC - Team Fortress 2 / Counter-Strike Source
IRL - Legend of the Five Rings CCG
If R-Type and SNK Arcade v1 comes from Amazon today I will be attacking those on the PSP instead.
I'd love to play the full version of Wits & Wagers, but it was decided to sell it outside of the US, the UK and Canada. Too bad, the developers missed out on 12 Swiss francs because of that. :P
Well, leaves more free time for GTA IV.
Wizards and Warriors
I'll be finishing up Grand Theft Auto 4, then moving on to Persona 3 FES again (I stopped playing for GTA4).
I'll probably squeeze in some Tales of the Abyss though. I've also been playing quite a bit of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness.
I don't know specifically what I'll play, but since I finished my last final today I'll damn sure be playing a lot of it.
A little Crysis for a seconed run through as stealthy as I can. Also maybe Uncharted. I need to unlock some levels I missed the first time through.
As much MGO as Possible. Time. Running. Out.
MGO beta
Crisis Core, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.
I would been hitting up GTA4 but I just moved so no console gaming for the meantime.
@Slothboy: Sorry to hear you have to suffer through Vegas 2. I'll think of you and the unfortunate in Burma this weekend while holding a good thought.
second run through GTAIV.
keeping everyone alive this time.
Shinobi, MGS: Snake Eater, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Yay for $10 games!!) and Luigi Galaxy.
Odd list, but whatever, I'm a cheapskate.
GTA 4 and MGO for me,trying to get through Mass Effect aswell,as i love the story.But the having a hard time as the combat is agonizingly bad,fuck i'm getting mad just thinking about it,fuckin 10 my ass.Fuck it GTA AND MGO for me
Doing a Let's Play for Clive Barkers Undying so that and some Halo 3 double exp weekend, it's snipers this week :D
Oh and I got Gun in the mail, so that.
GTA4 - Lineage 2, one more time.
Last weekend for MGO Beta!
so...I'll be playing plenty of
PS3 - MGO beta, Warhawk, UT3. I'm thinking about downloading PixelJunk Monsters and Tekken 5 DR.
Wii - Mario Kart (I have over 500 wins and only 170 losses)
SSBB
I might play Zelda Twilight Princess or Metroid Prime 3 again.
DS - Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword on hard. Boy, it's hard as hell too. I might pick up FF:CC or Advanced Wars.
PSP - I just finished FFVII: CC. Zack went out like a man, took a whole army to put him down. Square totally blew it by not re-releasing FFVII or remaking it for PSN or PS3. Total Fail.
Yeah...so I'm playing Beats and Echochrome when I'm not playing Wipeout Pure. I'm probably going to get Valhalla Knights and Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow soon.
what's up with the Kotaku clan on MGO beta? I never see anyone online. Same with Warhawk. It's getting discouraging because I see clanmates that are fighting together and doing great things in Warhawk. Why can't that be us? Do we suck that badly?
@SkutSkut:
Gun was a pretty good 19 buck game actually. Quasi sandbox, but a decent western feel. Too many games ignore the wild west, I say.
Brawl. Still.
And if I can find a copy of Mario Kart Wii, I'll probably buy it.
long time reader but i just register minutes ago.
After the dentist...GTA IV and all weekend too!
greetings from Chile
GTA and I just got Rock Band finally this morning...never played a Guitar Hero or anything so am going to have my musical rythym game cherry popped this weekend!
Diving into some free to plays that are reopening CB this weekend... but mostly going out with the hubby and trying to work on learning how to craft kewl felt gaming stuffs (I made a pacman ghost stuffed thing, so promised the hubby to do a pacman one too).
100% GTA IV. GRID demo. Rock Band. Mario Kart Wii.
@Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.: I quit warhawk (bought second expansion too) after they gimped the zone play to small maps only. Bad timing too with other multiplayer games expanding or comming out. I was never in the kotaku clan though.
Not sure, my weekend is determined to not let me play many games.
Im finishing recording this metal band up at the studio this weekend, so that will take up a little time.
I'm sure me and my girlfriend will get in some rounds of Mario Kart Wii.
Yeah, I think I'll stick to that, and say Mario Kart Wii and maybe some Final Fantasy Tactics, until my copy of GTA4 comes on tuesday.
Then I'll be able to answer this question with one word the next few weeks!
uh, GTA IV: Elder Scrolls. Nah, just playin'. GTA IV.
WoW..... YEA!! THAT'S RIGHT!! I SAID IT!!!!
:(
/dodges misc items being flung at his head.
Probably GTA IV tonight
Komrade_Kayce, I played Gun and I liked it. The poker was really cool and I wish you could play more of it.
if GTAIV didn't kill my PS3's blu-ray drive, I'd be all over it.
...it's gonna be a long few weeks.
I'll be training in single Mario Kart to try kick some online asses.... but I think they'll kick mine....
I can't really, so I'll be watching NG2 gameplay vids and imagining it's me.
Burnout Paradise and Grand Theft Auto IV
GTA IV is a definate. All this Wrath news today has me itching to play some WoW (who am I kidding, I'd be playing regardless of the new info).
I also have a huge backlog of other games, and I may also go out and buy Boom Blox and The World Ends With You.
Finally done with exams, so gaming is definitely in store. Kind of poor, so thinking about going through some old games that I haven't played. Xenosaga 3, MGS3, and Shadow Hearts 3 are in the queue. It's the game of 3s!
Although still kind of thinking about getting The World Ends With You anyway.
