WRUP: Reacquainting with Duke Nukem
This was the week we finally got a chance to really sit down and play the myth, the legend: Duke Nukem Forever. It's still surreal.
What's everyone playing?
- Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): Recovering from DICE, reviewing my notes. Probably going to relax with some Civilization 5. Can't believe PAX East is only a month away. I also have to check out Stacking.
- Andrew Yoon (@scxzor): [...]
- Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): Playing "look snobby in Lower Merion, PA" by heading to The Barnes Foundation. If I've got time, it will be spent with Cookie Masterson and his many, many yucks.
- Chris Buffa (@ChrisBuffa): Lots of iPhone games, including NBA Jam! And maybe some Dead Space 2 if I have the time, which I probably won't.
- Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): Red Dead Redemption is done, at last. But now that it is, I'm sad to see it go – should I jump straight into Undead Nightmare, or take a break in the Russian underground with Metro 2033?
- David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I plan to find out if I truly don't know Jack this weekend and hopefully crack that six-figure Gamerscore. I'm getting so close I can taste it!
- Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): Having finished my LBP 2 masterpiece (surely you've already played it), I might take a break and check out the Fable 3 that just came in the mail. Or the Rock Band 3 Squier guitar that just game in the mail. Or maybe more LBP 2, because it's the best game.
- James Ransom-Wiley: With Rock Band in tow, I'll be meeting up with some friends for a not-so-quiet couples retreat this weekend. Now, to figure out how to pack all this up ... (if only my band had some roadies).
- JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): It is very important that I cram as much Dragon Quest VI into my skull as possible this weekend. Good thing DS cartridges are so small.
- Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): Did someone say Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines?! ... No, no one did, cause it's like 100 years old. But that's what I'm playing.
- Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): My weekend's going to fly by once I get stuck into Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. I'd also like to go back to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, which I've been neglecting for reasons unknown to me.
- Mike Schramm (@MikeSchramm): I'll be hanging out with my favorite British voice actors in Fable 3.
- Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin): I realize that what I'm about to say may come as a shock to many of you, but I'll be exploring the arid Wastes of Fallout: New Vegas. Maybe I'll even play the Dead Money DLC, in the unlikely event that I run out of other things to do.
- Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM) Demon's Souls has quite a grip on MY soul right now. It's a lot more fun once you earn the special ability to not die every five seconds. Also some Dead Space Extraction and old school adventuring with Sanitarium.
