What we’re playing this weekend (2-3 April)

1 April 2011

Nic Simmonds

After a week with the viciously intense experience that is Crysis 2 multiplayer, I am ready to settle into a relaxing weekend of commanding endless columns of Japanese warriors as I carve out my own empire in Shogun 2: Total War. Dragon Age 2 is on the backburner, as is the Crysis 2 single player campaign which failed to hook me, but I will be making some time for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12.

James Etherington-Smith

I’ll be settling down for some racing sim action with Shift 2 Unleashed- watch out for the review. I’m quite looking forward to exploring the realistic crash physics, and when that gets tiresome, actually winning some races. I’ll also be wending my way through Crysis 2, daring it to show me some graphical flaws. Finally, what would a weekend be without hiding in a pile of hay and waiting with the patience of a cold calculating killer for a victim to unwittingly wander by? Yup, more Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood multiplayer will go down well.

Myles Gray

Well, this weekend I will be in the company of the new 5th generation Pokemon, in Pokemon White. Been a long time since I played a Pokemon title, but even still, it fits like an old worn pair of shoes (not sure if that is a good thing).

Besides that, I just might have some time for Dragon Age 2 or RIFT. Tried a little of Dragon Age 2, and I must say, I prefer its combat system (heresy!). And as far as RIFT goes, well, there’s a world event happening, so I am keen on that, but time is the key factor here.

Anyways, I am off to destroy, I mean, beat, err, I mean, compete against some toddlers in Pokemon (nothing sounds right). Yup, I be da man! Go Servine!

Nic: Myles’ first choice is lame, and therefore he doesn’t get an accompanying image.

James: Shame, since Nic made Myles cry in the comments, I’ve updated a spiffing Pokemon White version screenshot collage!

Tarryn van der Byl

I’ll be playing my new review copy of Lego Star Wars III, and wishing I could afford to buy all that Lego in real life instead. ;_;

Also, some Crysis 2 – I missed a few ‘Chievos during my first campaign playthrough (MAXIMUM GAMERSCORE), and then I’ll be mucking into the multiplayer with some friends.
