WRUP: The Day After Black Friday Edition

by Joystiq Staff { Nov 28th 2008 at 11:59PM }

Black Friday is a great time to find deals on video games. Did you pick up any new wares? If so, we hope you got a good price. Let us know what you're doing this cold November weekend.

Andrew Yoon - I'm going to get through the sort-of-better-but-not-quite-fixed PS3 version of Alone in the Dark. While I couldn't bear to make it further in the 360 version, I'm compelled to go on with the PS3. What can I say? I have a weakness for horror games. Also, I just wrapped up Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm. My, is that game pretty. Too bad the story isn't done better. I'll be playing some (offline) multiplayer. Finally, this is the last weekend of the Killzone 2 beta, so I'll be spending some time in that before trying to continue the single player campaign.
Majed Athab - I went to the arcade last weekend, so I think I'm going to do it again. Tekken 6, here I come! Oh and tons more R2 and Rock Band 2.
Alan Tsang - Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Good bye, life.
Jem Alexander - Loco Roco 2 and Resistance 2 will take up most of my time. Hopefully there'll be bouts of Left 4 Dead too, when the mood takes me. I'll also be keeping an eye on Home in the coming weeks. There's some very interesting stuff coming out and I want to try out my new PS3 keypad.

Hope you have some programs that can use your 2.4ghz quad, otherwise you woulda been better off with a higher rated duo. As far as I'm aware, there aren't any games that can use a quad core, and there are not that many that make use of a dual core.

Thats a solid rig. I have that MOBO with a 8500. Getting a quad is a good plan if you are overclocking and even if you arent its a very good cpu. I picked up a MSI 4850 and its served me well. Now only if I had a better monitor.

I picked up Fallout 3, Heavenly Sword, Condemned 2 and two Warhammer game cards from Amazon yesterday. Ill be buying Echochrome and Pixel Junk Eden from PSN.

This weekend Ill be playing RB2

CL34N3R @ Nov 29th 2008 2:07AM

I'm still gaming 24/7 on World at War, Left 4 Dead, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Far Cry 2, Gears 2 and Fallout 3. My hands hurt.

SaMav @ Nov 29th 2008 1:43PM

I see quite a few shooters but no Resistance 2?!?!

The best out of all those you just listed, I'm sure of it.

Tyler @ Nov 29th 2008 6:54PM

I don't know about that... I played a demo of Left 4 Dead with a friend yesterday... HOLY SHI*! That game is intense... I just had to go out n buy it today. lol.
Fallout 3 has its moments as well...
I do think R2 is awesome... I got a lvl 30 medic, and lvl 38 total rank, just that L4D is just as good (with friends). Maybe not graphically though... but it does change every time you play it.
