WRUP: space dismemberment edition

Welcome, once again, to another exciting edition of What Are You Playing. This week, we're going to do something a little different. Rather than simply asking our community what it's playing, we're going to extend to the question to our staff as well. This will give everyone out there a chance to see not only what we're playing, but also what we think of it. Assuming any of you care about our opinions, it should be highly informative! Don't forget to tell us what you're playing this weekend as well.

Xav de Matos (Snypz): It seems that Dead Space is the only thing spinning in my Xbox this week. 6 1/2 hours in I just found myself in Chapter 9 and I'm really enjoying it. There are some frustrating annoyances (Sup, turret?) but, other than that it has been hella fun. I've spent some time with the Call of Duty: World at War beta but not just enough to make a judgement on it. Expect a full X3F style impressions of the beta very soon

Dustin Burg (SuperDunners): After last weekend's Dead Space gaming marathon, I think I'll be going back to my traditional gaming roots. Lots of Halo 3 gaming. And, if time permits, I should really give the Call of Duty: World at War beta a test drive. That's only if time permits, because there's lots of Halo 3 gaming that is required. Emphasis on "required."

Richard Mitchell (SenseiRAM): Three words: Age of Booty. That game is one of the nicest surprises to come out of Xbox Live Arcade in quite a while. If you like RTS games, board games, or pirates, definitely give it a try. The trial version comes with two days of online play! Beyond that I don't have nearly as much time for Silent Hill: Homecoming as I would like. I've also been dipping into the world of homebrew games on my DS. Pocket Physics is something everyone needs to experience. I'm also playing one other game, but I can't tell you about it. Stay tuned.
