Topher:I’ve been playingSpace Invaders Extremeon DS,Shining Tearsfor PS2, andThis Was Way Better On Dreamcaston XBLA.
Hamza:I played the ends ofSuper Mario RPG,Super Mario WorldandSuper Metroidback-to-back. YES I FAILED THE FIRST TIME ON SUPERMETROID! SORRY I DIDN’T BEAT A GAME I HAVEN’T TOUCHED IN OVER EIGHT YEARS! I also played setting up a trip to Sizzler between Destructoid and a couple of PR Firms just for the hell of it. No I’m not joking.
Colette:Lost Odyssey. Shocker, huh. I’m on disc three and burning through fast, so I expect to have a new game to tell you about next week. I also had my first online match against someone inPuzzle Questin which I got all of two turns because my opponent destroyed my ass so efficiently. That was humbling. I picked upFatal Frame IIIandPatapontoday too. Woo!
Gameboi:This week found me juggling a couple of games, includingUnreal Tournament III,Uncharted, and the newly downloadedWarhawk. Other than that, I toyed with a few arcade games on Live:Robotron, Street Fighter, andPac-Man.
Nick:I tore throughGod of War: Chains of Olympusthis weekend, which took me just under six hours to complete. I also listened to my wife playPataponfor about an hour, a game which she called boring and “the emperor’s new clothes.” I also spent some time withBattle of the Bands,deBlob, and while at home (which is rare) I started to playHalo 3‘s cooperative campaign … finally.
Grim:Triggerheart Exelica,Rock Band, and a few matches ofSuper Smash Bros. Brawl.
Jonathan:JustApollo JusticeandPatpaon. Man,Patapongets really hard! I’ve been stuck on the same boss for like an hour. It’s fun though. I don’t know what Nick’s wife’s problem is.
Oh, and I did put a few hours intoSuper Smash Bros. Brawlat the big tournament in Worcester MA. I’d still be playing it now, if it weren’t for that fact that all attempts Alexander from Joystiq and I made to steal a disk from one of the event’s manyBrawlkiosks were met with total failure.
Jim:Mostly I’ve been playing on the new PSP I got. I used to have one, but there was only like, one game for it when I got rid of it. Now there’s something resembling a game library on the format and I’m actually spoiled for choice. What pushed my decision to get another was the fact that Koei sent me a whole bunch of stuff, includingDragoneer’s AriaandDisgaea: Afternoon of Darkness.
Ariais a very by-the-numbers RPG which seems strangely hard during regular random battles. Story is a bit of a flop so far, but I hope it gets better. As forDisgaea, well, it’s the sameDisgaeaI used to play years ago … and I love it. I just hope this time I can break through the huge impregnable wall of numbers and levels that eventually burned me out last time. Oh, and I playedMetal Gear Solid: Portable Opstoo, which is kinda cool.
Chad:In addition to watching Hamza suck atSuper Metroid, I played someMass Effectand the incredibly amazingN+. Did I mention that Hamza sucks atSuper Metroid? Because he does. 🙂
Brad:In my spare time, I’ve been hammering outTrilby: The Art of TheftandBarkley: Shut Up and Jam Gaiden, and picked upDaigasso Band Brothers. I suck at it horribly. I’ve been meaning to finish upDisgaea, but I’ve found books to be a really attractive alternative.
Orcist:This week I’ve been playingStay away fromPersona 3and study for your exams or you’ll fail out of college and die poor and lonely.Which is to say that I’ve made a lot of progress.
What was played by the Dtoid community this week? TELL US!
