For me, some obscure little game called Gears of War. Also a healthy dose of Guitar Hero 2, maybe some Call of Duty 3 and the quick game of Elite Beat Agents.

Nothing planned this weekend, so I expect to have some solid gametime.
The Guild 2 looks be on deck again. I assume some Railroads will get on the table along with a bit of Empire at War Forces of Corruption. 1701 A.D. is on order, but probably won't arrive until next week, but if it comes today or tomorrow, that will be added to the mix.
Time permitting, perhaps HOMMV (new patch out today), Settlers 2 and Stronghold Legends will see table time.

Not too much time to game this weekend as I need to go to Montgomery, AL on Sunday for work. I will try to play some GH2 and FFXII, though. Oh, and on the portables, Children of Mana and Loco Roco. So, I guess I will get some gaming in after all.  |

My wife and daughter will be gone all day Saturday on a major shopping expedition, so should be lots of gaming for me this weekend.
Gears of War is top priority. I'm in Act 4 now, so I expect to finish on Saturday, and maybe even tonight. After I put that one to bed, I'll be focusing on Final Fantasy XII again and I also hope to spend some time with Guitar Hero 2.

I'm going to finish Lego Star Wars on the 360.
I'll play lots of Final Fantasy XII.
I'm going to try to get past the stinking Saline Slimer (the first freaking boss) in Lunar: Silver Star Story.

Probably not a ton of gaming time for me, but what little I have will be split between FFXII and GHII.

Gears.....and then some more Gears....and probably some more Gears.
I've got plans until 10:00 each night this weekend. We'll see if my late night gaming binge continues.

Gears of War - I'm REALLY excited to get into the single-player...but will most likely be enticed to play waaaaay more multiplayer then I'd like on Friday  And the g/f is coming over Saturday and I HOPE to get her hooked on playing Guitar Hero 2. From what I've played so far, however, it's almost as if the song-selection doesn't cater to the sort of "fan-of-everything" like the first. To me, the first one had songs that everybody knew, different stuff - the second one seems to be more like, in-your-face rock and metal. But, the second's got better multiplayer...what to do, what to do. Other than that, maybe a little Bully, some NBA 2k7 (although I wish they'd come out with a new roster update since the Blazers aren't accurately represented) and seeing how I like Fifa 07 after stepping away from it for a little.

I'm working my way through Condemned, thanks to a recent jblank transaction. I also recently completed Saint's Row, but I want to go back and see if I can finish all the various activities. My brother, Ralph-Wiggum, just purchased Guitar Hero II, so I might get in some time with that. I also want to get back to playing NBA2k7, and I'd love to play some multiplayer with one of you guys, but unfortunately the first time TML and I tried to play we couldn't connect.

I have the strangest feeling that I will be playing some gears of war this weekend. Call it a hunch. Probably a bit of Call of duty 3 and Fear thrown in.

I'm going to continue working through Psi-Ops (I reached the first boss battle last night and have to figure out how to finish it). Will probably toy with the PSP a little.

Gears of War until I get frustrated. Then I'll switch to Barbie Dress-Up, or something else I can handle without cursing every 10 seconds. :icon_confused:

I really want to get Gears of War, which I have on order from Buy.com, ($47 shipped with google checkout, wewt), but they haven't shipped yet. So I might go buy a copy at EB and then return the copy I get from Buy.com to EB when it comes in.

Aside from the usual City of Heroes/Villains, I just walked in the door with Viva Piñata and Elite Beat Agents.

Final Fantasy XII and Gears of War. Really want to get back to playing FFXII as I haven't touched it in two days. I have a nasty habit if I don't play an RPG at least every other day it will linger for months.

Same here. I dread having to go back into Jade Empire for that very reason. Haven't touched it in months nor do I want to, but it's part of the backlog THAT MUST BE DEFEATED!! |

I plan on continuing my work through Enchanted Arms and mixing that up with some Gears of War.
I'd like to spend some time with Viva Pinata, but I have to find a copy first.

Another 4 day work trip ahead. Hope to get at least a little time with Dead Rising.
Am planning on taking the PS2 with me this time to get in some play time at the hotel.
I'm still exhausted from the last trip...

I have three days with nearly nothing to do so I will be slogging my way through Gears of War and undoubtedly playing more BF2142. It is ironic that the game I didn't want to buy in the first place (BF) is getting more time and giving me more fun than Gears which I have been anticipating for quite a while. C'est la vie.
