    Windows 7

    By Than the Moa,

    Windows 7 is amazing. It's going to be installed on this computer (or if I happen to pick up a new one before then, on that one) as soon as it comes out.

    Welcome to a new weekly feature (shamelessly taken from a video game blog I read often), What Are You Playing!

    What I have been playing: I've been spending a lot of time with Gears of War 2 with a friend of mine at school and good ol' Watashi Wa. I've also been taking advantage of my roommate borrowing Fallout 3 from a friend of his by playing that at times, it's a fun game at times, but can be incredibly frustrating, especially since it feels a lot like Oblivion with guns (try as hard as you want to say it isn't, but the graphics, the interactions with people, the interactions with the environment, etc... are all holdovers from Oblivion). I also dropped some points on The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai on the XBLA. It's a fun little title, though it can get repetitive in quite a hurry. I fired up the Orange Box for some Half-Life 2 action, working on getting all the Half-Life 2 achievements, then I'll move on to HL2: Episode 1 and 2 respectively and try to nab those missing achievements. Halo 3 managed to sneak some time in (as is usual). I also picked up Phantom Hourglass on my DS for the first time in a long time and advanced myself closer to the end of that game.

    What I want to be playing: Mass Effect
    Mass Effect 2
    Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack
    Halo 3: ODST
    Left 4 Dead
    Dead Rising 2

    Forgot to put this up yesterday, so here it goes.
     
    What I have been playing:
    This past week I've been playing a lot of Midnight Club: Los Angeles. I picked it up on sale and I love the games for being over-the-top arcade street racers. I also (as always) got some Halo 3 time in. I also nabbed Mass Effect (again, since my old copy is lost forever) but only played about an hour before I let a friend of mine borrow it (he had never played it so I figured I'd give him a chance). Otherwise, I haven't played much else this past week.

    So the weather is fantastic here this week. Sunshine and temperatures in the mid to upper 60s, I love spring.

    But I still find myself spending time indoors and playing games in some of my downtime, so let's see what I've been up to in this week of gaming.

    What I have been playing: I borrowed (and beat on normal) The Force Unleashed from a friend of mine. I can't really dcide if I like the game or not. It's a bit short and there are definitely some issues with it, but there are some moments where it seriously feels awesome not to mention that the storyline bridges the prequels and the original trilogy together pretty well (except if you go for the dark side ending that I watched my roommate do, that is like, the worst thing in the world, perhaps it was meant to make you feel bad for going dark). I also got my hands on the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3 and enjoyed some time with it, all 3 maps seem pretty good, though I'm gravitating towards Orbital as my favorite. I feel that one seriously fills a gap that was missing in the previous Halo 3 maps (small, linear confined areas of combat). Sandbox is insane for forgers as well and I can't wait to see what people will come up with for that map. I haven't really had much time with other games though, those two pretty much took up all my gaming time (which was somewhat limited since I wasn't in a position to play any games this past weekend since I was gone).

    What I want to be playing: Mass Effect
    Mass Effect 2
    Orange Box (Gotta clear some more achievements)
    Halo 3: ODST
    Midnight Club: LA

    Hey, what better time to stay in and play video games than when there's a outbreak of some new flu strain!
     
    What I have been playing: Not a whole lot. Pulled in the usual Halo 3, spent plenty of time with Midnight Club: LA, got a little time in with Halo Wars and spent some time getting into Mass Effect for my 2nd go around with that game. It was a light week, school has been limiting game time lately.
     
    What I want to be playing:
    Mass Effect 2
    Fable 2 See the Future DLC
    Burnout Paradise Cops & Robbers DLC
    Halo 3: ODST

    So, went to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight with my friend for the first time. We were just about done and waiting for our check when the power went out. Power was out for a couple blocks. We ended up having to wait about a half hour while they sorted things out and they finally had us pay something. It was an interesting night.
