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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shogun_2_small_781594691.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>James Etherington-Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ll be settling down for some racing sim action with Shift 2 Unleashed- watch out for the review. I&rsquo;m quite looking forward to exploring the realistic crash physics, and when that gets tiresome, actually winning some races. I&rsquo;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&rsquo;s Creed: Brotherhood multiplayer will go down well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shift_2_520320666.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"595\" height=\"335\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Myles Gray<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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).<\/p>\n<p>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&rsquo;s a world event happening, so I am keen on that, but time is the key factor here.<\/p>\n<p>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!
