WRUP: What are you playing?

by Joystiq Staff { Oct 17th 2008 at 5:00PM }

Tokyo Game Show was so boring this year (except for this), we couldn't wait to go back home and play some Western games. With PS3 flooded with new games for the next few weeks, WRUP is going to get pretty disastrous on our wallets.

Andrew Yoon - Where do I begin? I have Dead Space, Rock Band 2, BioShock, LittleBigPlanet, Alone in the Dark, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, and Resistance 2 to play. Outside world, I bid you adieu.
Jem Alexander - Dead Space, Rock Band 2 and BioShock are currently sitting next to my PS3. The problem is, that's 300 miles away. I'll be gorging on all three (most likely in that order) once I'm reunited with my black monolith on Sunday. Until then, I'll keep playing Final Fantasy Tactics A2 which, while incredibly long, has yet to get boring.
Majed Athab - I want to grab Dead Space ... but I'm going to wait a bit. I'll see what the other guys think of it before eventually getting it. Anyway, I'll be playing LittleBigPlanet, the R2 beta and Rock Band 2 on PS3 this weekend. I'm also going to download one of my all-time favorite games, Secret of Mana, off the Wii's VC. Incidentally, I recently bought the soundtrack for that game!
Alan Tsang - I am playing LittleBigPlanet. 'Nuff said.

I was going to play the Resistance 2 beta but I hear it's been pushed back for fears of offending Scientologists. What, with the evil alien overlords and all.

Fiz @ Oct 17th 2008 5:14PM

I think that scientologists believe the aliens L. Ron Hubbard illustrated ARE evil, though.. so, not very funny

PSN: John-Paul-Jones @ Oct 17th 2008 5:39PM

LBP was also delayed because of religion. I'm mad but mostly thankful because I have a week's worth of grace before chucking out another $6. There's also a lot of great games coming out next Tuesday:

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
Far Cry 2 (PC, maybe?)
BioShock (I saw the BioShock 2 trailer on the internet and I think it may be the prequel of the formation of Rapture and how it came to be before Jack came)

Oh, and I'll be playing Dead Space and Saints Row 2.

Daniel @ Oct 17th 2008 9:34PM

$6 for LBP? Where? LMAO

But seriously I'm playing Saints Row 2, and anxiously awaiting Wednesday of next week when I'll get the smackdown vs raw 09 demo! WOOT!

Gambit07 @ Oct 17th 2008 5:09PM

Burnout for trophies, Bowling for trophies, Eye of Judgment... for trophies, oh shiat I see a pattern, am I a whore now :(

bigcheese @ Oct 17th 2008 6:29PM

It's okay, I'm a trophy whore also. I'll be playing Uncharted on Crushing and getting the platinum trophy this weekend. Yes, I will get it! That is my goal for the weekend.

Fiz @ Oct 17th 2008 5:09PM

Dead Space baby, I don't care what people say; I dig it... I'll also be bowling at high velocity... 266 trophies 'n counting... - PSN: Thetruefiziks

Popfrogs @ Oct 17th 2008 5:42PM

I just bought it and started playing it last night. So far so good.

Fiz @ Oct 17th 2008 5:10PM

Nearly forgot about eye of judgment, I'll be working on getting those trophies too

Gambit07 @ Oct 17th 2008 5:14PM

now that LBP is delayed I think I'm going to buy the set 2 & 3 bundle...

wem003 @ Oct 17th 2008 5:14PM

I'm still killing the freaking pigeons....

Gonzo @ Oct 20th 2008 11:53AM

You might want to get Saints Row 2. I've been addicted to that for the past week. I really like GTA4 for it's technical superiority but SR2 is more like a Vice City or a San Andreas: tons of fun and interesting things to do and cool rewards for every other mission and activity you do.

Really, I was very pleasantly surprised.

wem003 @ Oct 20th 2008 12:08PM

I might try it soon - but I've got quite a backlog - GTA4 took up so much time - I only game about 10 hours a week max. I've got a sister in law that will be getting it, so I might borrow it for a week or so to decide.

Still have Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted, Burnout Paradise sitting on my shelf unplayed. It's killing me to see Uncharted sitting there, but I picked it up right before the trophy patch and haven't tried it yet. And Little Big Planet coming too...

Gonzo @ Oct 21st 2008 11:06AM

I have the same kind of time constraints on my gaming but (as a GTA fanboy mind you) I would recommend Saints Row2 over those other (very good) games you mentioned.
And I usually hate GTA clones, this one just happened to capture all the things that makes them fun.

defpoet1790 @ Oct 17th 2008 5:14PM

WAS gonna play LBP..=(

Lars @ Oct 18th 2008 1:28AM

I know! I'm so bummed. Oh well. I'm playing mostly Burnout Paradise, Warhawk, and EOJ.

Pumapayam @ Oct 17th 2008 5:20PM

How are these people going to play LittleBigPlanet? Am I missing something, or is this post 10 days too early?

Fiz @ Oct 17th 2008 5:21PM

thay're the press, they had the game for awhile I'm sure..

Pumapayam @ Oct 17th 2008 5:48PM

Well, then they should invite us over to play. Dammit! :)

Fiz @ Oct 17th 2008 5:51PM

I second that

farfisa @ Oct 17th 2008 5:22PM

Well screw you guys. Got anything that WE can play? ;)

FatalChaos @ Oct 17th 2008 5:24PM

Socom :(, sadly I don't have the money for the other 5 games I want. Just Socom and Resistance 2 untill January.

sly @ Oct 17th 2008 5:27PM

Resistance 2 beta

rgoff31 @ Oct 17th 2008 5:29PM

Waiting for my Resistance 2 Beta codes.
Waiting for my LBP Order.

blackbeard_ @ Oct 17th 2008 5:29PM

Burnout Paradise
WipeOut HD
NHL 09
Warhawk
Resistance: Fall Of Man... want to play it again a bit before jumping into R2 in a few weeks.
SOCOM (maybe)

Gotta play these a bit a least since there are so many more great games coming out over the next few weeks. Ouch... my wallet hurts :-/

Tyrannous @ Oct 17th 2008 5:31PM

how are all these posters playing LBP????
hypemasters...

komrad @ Oct 17th 2008 5:33PM

Majed - if you like aliens, event horizon and or the thing. you must get dead space. even if you only like aliens or one of the three prementioned.

fiziks @ Oct 17th 2008 5:48PM

or if you like deus ex/system shock, doom, soldier of fortune, or duke nukem you should try out Dead Space... it's really wicked some pretty critical people must've given it a bad score but I don't understand why, I've looked it over for graphical glitches and clipping 'n things and it looks pretty damned solid!

komrad @ Oct 17th 2008 6:09PM

agreed fiziks. the detail in this game really sits well with my inner critic. dust particles in the light shafts? um win.

Fiz @ Oct 17th 2008 6:12PM

how about the part where the ceiling is leaking.. the water dripping down, bouncing off your character.. little stuff like that and big stuff as well makes the game pretty enjoyable

Majed Athab @ Oct 17th 2008 7:38PM

I'll definitely keep that in mind, komrad. Thanks!

HarryPS3 @ Oct 17th 2008 5:33PM

Metal Gear Solid 4:Guns of the Patriots!

uh-oh polio @ Oct 17th 2008 5:35PM

davidfalling @ Oct 17th 2008 6:04PM

DEAD SPACE! This game is AWESOME! I just got past the first two acts, and so far it lives up to all of my expectations! :) Still want to play: The Force Unleashed, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Saints Row 2, LBP, Resistance 2, etc, etc, ETC! So many games right now, so little time! What to do?

johnjohn @ Oct 17th 2008 6:24PM

Please, someone tell me they have a spare R2 key. Please.

sidewinder12s @ Oct 17th 2008 6:27PM

Well im waiting for my Resistance 2 Beta code, but according to the PS Blog they Cut out people who Pre-ordered/Qore. this is pissing me off

DeathroW @ Oct 17th 2008 6:37PM

They would of all got review copies..

HiddenEmerald @ Oct 18th 2008 12:50PM

Well shucks. Too bad LBP was delayed.

Well, I'll be playing even more Disgaea, Battlefield, and Wahawk. I'll also be playing some Disgaea DS and Japanese word coach.

Biggest thing though is working for some cash for all the games coming.

Metoo @ Oct 17th 2008 6:50PM

I'm on Chapter 3 of Dead Space and loving it so far (boot squish times five!). I have Battlefield: BC coming from Gamefly, but it probably won't come until Monday.

Mike @ Oct 17th 2008 6:52PM

Hey i know this has nothing to do with the topic but i wanted to know if this was a good choice....

So Yesterday I traded in a few games and got enough money for 3 games im wondering if it was worth it.

I traded in: Condemed 2- got 13 for it bought it for 20
Darksector- got 10 for it bought it for 20
DBZ burst limit-got it day one never really played it got 22 for it
GTA4- big disapointment for me got 20 for it
haze- it was fun for a week got 12 for it
heavnlysword- got 20 for it
hotshots OOB- 22
lair-10
motorstorm-30 bucks!! i know crazy right lol
sega tennis- 5 bucks

I never really played any of those after i beat them. The only one or two i regret was hotshots and gta 4 but once again i never really played gta4 that much after i beat it and multiplayer was horrible.

I still have Mgs4,socom,cod4,deadspace,ninjagaiden sigma, rockband and time crysis//// and am thinking about selling skate,soul calibur 4, uncharted and rachet and clank

since i will have enough for like 4-5 games what should i get..... i already have fallout reserved and want rockband 2,LBP,Resistance 2 if its good (i didnt like the first at all) the new 007 , mirrors edge,the new cod and skate 2. then ill worry about res evil and killzone streetfighter OMFG SO MANY GAMES!!!!!!!!!!

uh-oh polio @ Oct 17th 2008 7:17PM

FarCry 2 next week for sure.

Popfrogs @ Oct 18th 2008 9:47AM

Don't forget to exercise your inner trophy whore before trading in or selling Uncharted. Or just keep it, it's one of the best games out there for any system and nothing has trumped it yet.

RegimeNoir @ Oct 17th 2008 8:09PM

I have LBP!!! Let me know if anyone is in LA.

DavidJuaquin @ Oct 17th 2008 7:16PM

I'll be playing Little Big Planet, seriously. (compare trophies with me if you don't believe me my psn id is TOWERINGTWOTONE)..........................am i bragging?

PSN & GAMERTAG: jorojoserojas - Wii FC: 0749-8609-3752-6926 @ Oct 17th 2008 9:08PM

I don't know what's scarier; Dead Space's environments and sounds, or Star Wars: TFU's horrible force-shielded enemies and bad controls. *shudder*

I'll find out more this weekend, as well as dig into some Pure. Also, just bought Warhawk! Need some people to train this n00b. PSN= jorojoserojas

Figboy @ Oct 17th 2008 9:21PM

I'm currently playing Little Big Planet and Fable 2.

i prefer the former, but the latter isn't bad. it's just like the first, but in HD (although, honestly, the graphics aren't really that impressive; i'm playing it on a 40" 720p Samsung).

Little Big Planet, on the other hand, is fricking PHENOMENAL.

it and MGS4 are my top choices for Game of the Year 2008, hands down.
