WRUP: Hackers!
The past few weeks have seen story after story about breach after breach in the gaming world, with BioWare's Neverwinter Nights servers being the latest to get hit. Rather than getting all up in a tizzy about it, we simply made sure all of our passwords were unique -- yours are, aren't they? -- and rented a copy of our favorite Matthew Lillard thriller, Hackers.
Sure, we'll be playing some games this weekend (which you can see after the break), but we've got at least one very solid appointment with the information superhighway, circa 1995. It looks kind of like an awesome video game when you're hacking, didn't you know? Perfect!
Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): Playing real life Trauma Center.
Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): I'm trying my best to resist buying Child of Eden, even though it seems to warrant the full price purchase. My tool of resistance: the master quest in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): I've barely picked up a controller since being back from E3, so afraid it's still Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for me ... with a chance of Trenched.
David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I'm into Mortal Kombat in a big way right now, so I'm working on finishing the Ladder with everyone and knocking out some more of that huge Challenge Tower. On top of that, I'm nearing the end of Duke Nukem Forever.
Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): I am going to be kicking infinity zombies while I review Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D.
JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): I will be playing Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax for at least several minutes.
Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): All I'm playing forever is apparently Tiny Tower. Have you seen it? It's a littler skyscraper that lives in your iPhone and you can restock the stores in it and you make coins and it's free and ... I hate myself.
Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): THESE F***ING DEMONS!
Mike Schramm (@MikeSchramm): I've recently gotten back into EVE Online, so there's a lot of Internet Spaceshipping going on here lately. Otherwise, LA Noire still needs finishing, as does BioShock 2.
Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin): When I'm not dying again and again and again (and again!) in 1-bit Ninja on my iPhone, I'll be solving the deaths of others again and again and again (and again!) in LA Noire.
Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM) On vacation this weekend so I'll probably start on the first Witcher book. That's almost a game, right?
Steven Wong: Dungeon Siege 3. It's party time!
