Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



Another weekend is fast approaching and we must be ready to embrace it with open hard drives! Because even though a brief daily session can often help get us through the week, it's the long weekend ones that pull us right into our favorite gameworlds, letting us absorb all the sweet gaming juices we need to recharge our batteries.

So which games are you using to fuel up this weekend?
Go on, share your Weekend Playlists with us. They can include single-player games, multiplayer games, console exclusives, anything - we are not judging. In fact, we are sharing too!


Looking for some inspiration, perhaps? The GOG.com releases of the week are a good start:

You can swing weapons heavy with the power of physics in <span class="bold">Exanima</span>
You can make shadows your dagger or your hiding place as <span class="bold">Shadwen</span>
You can go searching for you lost king in the procedurally-generated archipelago of <span class="bold">Overfall</span>
You can manage your drones as they sift through the remains of dead spaceships in <span class="bold">Duskers</span>
You can build robotic oddities that can survive the puzzles of <span class="bold">MechoEcho</span>
You can revisit the addictive FPS/RPG gameplay of <span class="bold">The Original Strife: Veteran Edition</span>
You can put on your <span class="bold">Two-Horned Helmet</span> and lead your Vikings to the <span class="bold">Valhalla Hills</span>
You can brave an alien planet to find <span class="bold">The Way</span> to eternal life

tinyE: I have never been able to pull that off! XD I have been to every wiki I can find and used every tip offered and nothing.
"No, I am not lost... I refuse to look at a map!" :D

Been trying my hardest to stay away from wikis and stuff as much as I can. I want to learn the harsh realities of farming through toil and strife, like my grandfather before me :D

Piranjade:
I spent all of spring watering my plants myself, using up half my energy every day watering plants until I learned about sprinklers... Waited 11 days in Summer to get enough money from my crop rotations to spare on Iron and copper ore (and on the 14th day, I discovered the mine... -.-). With delight, I went to the blacksmith to buy the ores, to craft my bars and make my very own sprinkler, that (I believed based on the fact that the scarecrow has pretty good range) would cover 4x4 of my crops...

I crafted my sprinkler, placed it on my field after hoeing out some silly strawberry plant, and with a cheery heart and a twinkle in my eye, laid my head down on my soft pillow for the night.

Let's just say, they heard my 6.30 AM screams of rage at level 25 in the mine... -.-

starmanjones: im downloading neverwinter nights 2 and playing it this weekend, because ive been wanting to play an rpg game that's new for me this year.

counter strike GO with 2 of my brothers.

im thinking of looking for my pool of radiance ruins of myth drannor cd's and installing them onto my spare win xp system. I think they have worked there before.

Kerbal space program OF COURSE :) those cute kerbals , Im really happy when I return them safely to Kerbin.

Empire Earth , art of conquest with my wife , we love to kill computer players and we are quite good at it as a team.
Large islands or sometimes plains maps are our favorites.

those are just a few of my favorite games.

Two thumbs up!

Goddamn you, B0SC0! I was browsing the topic searching for recommendations on a casual affair and now Forced Showdown is looking for a serious commitment >.<

Plus it's kicking my ass big time... Oh how I miss the gentle ways of Kathy Rain :(

Makarov92: I ended up playing Company of Heroes 2, Street Fighter 5, and Red Orchestra 2.
That sounds pretty awesome!

vicklemos: epic comment
Delightful! I don't have any young 'uns yet but I do like to consider myself one! At heart. So Pajama Sam just climbed straight to the top of my point'n'click backlog to meet Fran Bow, STASIS, and DOTT Remastered. Play nice now, kids.

In other news, I am getting brutalized by Forced Showdown but I am having a blast with it! Finally managed to get through The Crucible once and will try to kick that ugly mofo's butt once more tonight. Any aspirations for further progress are not really compatible with my skills or deck at this point, though :/

omega64: Forced Showdown seems ok, Not exactly sure how it works with the cards though.
Are cards usable skills?
Not exactly. Each character has a set of four core skills/abilities that they can use, regardless of cards.
When you begin a battle (=series of arenas with a boss at the end) you get some cards in your hand, randomly chosen from the deck you've built beforehand. Then each round you get a new card and you can play as many as your mana allows (unless any variables apply, mana goes up by one every round, much like Hearthstone). These can summon little helpers, give you passive buffs, strengthen your abilities, act as consumables, etc. The effects usually outlast the round, so you are growing significantly stronger as the arenas progress.

It's a pretty simple yet effective way of utilising the CCG part of the game, I'd say. Managed to get me hooked, and I'm not your typical ARPG/dungeon-crawler kind of guy. Helps that it can be enjoyed in short half-hour bursts, too :)
