Nick:A lot ofMario Kart Wiihas been played, and last night I played quite a bit ofRock Bandwith some friends. I did not play anyGrand Theft Auto IV, because I do not haveGrand Theft Auto IV.

Colette:This has been a busy week.

Lost Odyssey, Puzzle Quest(my PQ character has level capped, I feel lost),Lost Cities, Radiant Silvergun, Sexy Parodisus, Pokeman Mystery Dungeon, Teenage Zombies, and last but not least,Taiko No Tatsujin 7 DS(That’s the new Taiko Drum Master DS, and it is GREAT.)

Ron:It has been a very busy week for Colette. I have been watching her through the window at night. Its hot. Hot like Fiya! Im a little hooked onStar Wars Lego Wars: The Complete Saga, Ninja Gaiden 2, 1942, Braid, COD4,and planning for the May 31st NARP in Cincinnati, Ohio. This is going to be hot. Hot like Fiya!

Hell is Us gameplay reveal

Samit:I missed WNW for the first time in a while, but I did manage to try out the newCoD 4maps on FNF. For some reason, Killhouse hasn’t come up in the rotation yet, but the other three maps are cool. Also, I’ve been playing throughNBA Ballers: Chosen Onefor review, and, well…is there an antonym for “recommend”?

Aside from that, I finally finished myRock Banddrum career on Medium, and I’ve moved on to Hard. The going has been relatively easy so far — I’ve beaten the songs of the first two tiers at 90% or better — but it’s getting noticeably harder. I agree with what Necros said in IRC last night: Hard issomuch more fun than Medium. It also makes your ankle hurta lotmore.

Black Ops 6 Season 5 Multiplayer Ransack Mode

Jim:The PSP was made for my weekend shifts at the other job. I spent last Monday completingGod of War: Chains of Olympus, which didn’t take long, as the game is disappointingly short. I don’t think it’s as great as others would have you believe, but it’s decent. Outside of that, beeing usingWarriors Orochito stave off the boredom. Looking forward to checking out the sequel at the London Expo.

Also looking forward to picking upGTA IV, even though Rockstar SHOULD have given me it. Bastards. Ah well. Spending a few days with my grandparents and their kick-ass TV. it’s going to be a sweet few days.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2: a black and white Jin and Heihachi stand back-to-back.

Hamza:I haven’t had much time for game playing this past week. I did get the new maps onHalo 3but maybe only spent 10 minutes on them. I fear I won’t have much time with them still as this week is also going to be extremely busy for me.GTA IVwill suck my soul dry this week. Then it’s off to Los Angeles/San Diego for some epic L.A. NARP.

Chad:Nothing butLost OdysseyandIkarugathis week. I had a RROD scare, but it ended up being nothing. I am nervous now, though. If I get a red ring right beforeGrand Theft Auto IVI will cry. And then break something. And then cry about breaking something.

PEAK Bing Bong plushie

Topher:I started the week off with trying to overcome myZoo Keeper DSaddiction, (no thanks to Miss Chow), and was relieved to haveTaiko No Tatsujin 2come out so I’d have a means to break away. That quickly turned into aTaiko No Tatsujin 2addiction, which I am now trying to alleviate by replayingICO. Although, now I am falling in love with Yorda all over again, so I don’t think I’m any better off now than I was when I was shifting animals around. Halp plz.

Orcist:I feel like a broken record, but, yet again, my schoolwork has been prohibitive, vis-a-vis how much time I get to play video games. I did play someAegis Wing, though, as it’s a good way to blow off 10-minutes of steam between assignments. But, in two days — when I, hypothetically, never have to read James Joyce again in my life (although I will because he’s amazing) — I will play videogames until my eyeballs plop onto the ground in a bloody pile of viscera and optic nerves.

Silent Hill f: a woman’s face covered in blossoming but deadly looking flowers.

Samit:I see that Orcist’s mom’s scare tactics from his childhood have worked wonders. SHE WAS LYING, MAN!!

DMV:I’m being disappointed by the PSP version ofFFT. I can’t wait to get back to America and play the original.
