Duke Nukem Forever is out, but for me personally, I think Duke may just be better off left in the history books, heavily coated in nostalgia. It&#8217;s already Sunday and I&#8217;ve hardly touched any games, but on the plus side I have been able to work on my much neglected golf swing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Kemp<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This weekend, after a recommendation from fellow PC master race member James Etherington-Smith, I&#8217;m going to be playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Somehow this one seemed to slip past me, and an underpants staining is well overdue. I&#8217;m a big fan of the horror genre in general so I&#8217;m pretty excited to give this a try. When it all becomes too much, I&#8217;ll probably fall back on continuing to grind my way through the Witcher 2, despite being about as capable with a sword as Samwise Gamgee on acid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/amnesia_dark_decent_988423246.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"339\" height=\"180\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>James Etherington-Smith&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s Duke Nukem Forever all the way this weekend. Otherwise, I&rsquo;ve been nursing a serious Minecraft addiction this week and maybe even the Duke won&rsquo;t be able to keep me away for too long. My floating sky fortress-volcano will strike fear into the hearts of men!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/duke_nukem_forever_566839780.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dan Parmenter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First I was hampered by the PSN debacle, then an excruciatingly slow 15GB download, and now it&#8217;s a Saturday spent humiliating my mate at his bachelor party, but come Sunday all these speedbumps will be a thing of the past as I finally fire up inFamous 2 for review. Granted I&#8217;ll be doing it with alcohol-induced throbbing in my skull and stripper glitter in various crevasses, but neither rain nor sleet nor pitiless Jo&#8217;burg cold will prevent me from electrocuting evildoers this weekend. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/infamous_2_159202916.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Myles Gray<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, this weekend I will be spending some time with Infamous 2 and White Knight Chronicles 2 (what is up with all these damn sequels lately!?)<\/p>\n<p>The first Infamous was a favourite of mine &ndash; one of the first games where I actually felt like a hero\/villain. As for White Knight Chronicles, it looks to be a good investment since it releases with the original which is now remastered. For the second game they have sped-up combat and finally players get their own incorruptus (think giant mecha), which is awesome! Add to that tons of online questing and you are set for hundreds of hours.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/white_knight_chronicles_2_197055156.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If that does not work out, then I will spend some time with Tales of Symophina: Dawn of the New World on Wii, or Vanquish, which I have been putting off for no good reason.
