Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



Whoa, it's the weekend already?! That means less time spent on meeting deadlines and more time spent on meeting our untimely virtual deaths! Or building stuff. Or solving puzzles. Or scoring goals. Or doing other cool stuff that our fleshy selves cannot (yet) accomplish.

So which games are keeping you busy these days?
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 here for you:

- You can hop around the enchanting, dimly-lit rooms of <span class="bold">Lumo</span>
- You can turn hordes of monsters into piles of sweet loot in <span class="bold">Torchlight II</span>
- You can revisit a recently updated galaxy and become the new <span class="bold">Master of Orion</span>
- You can slice, dodge, and jump your way to your queen in <span class="bold">Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight</span>
- You can build unlikely machines that might or might not fly in <span class="bold">SimplePlanes</span>
- You can terrorize the streets as the uncontrollable <span class="bold">OmniBus</span>
- You can leave your mark in the architectural history of the world in <span class="bold">Caesar&trade; IV</span>
No doubt more Rainbow Six Siege.

Also dabbling around in Far Cry 3 since I'm THAT far behind with my backlog of games that I'm playing 4 year old games now.

Maybe a Civ 5 game too.

Oh and King's Quest II - although I am cheating and using a walkthrough as even spending 15 minutes wandering around doing nothing nowadays is way too much time wasted on computer games ;).
Looks like I won't be alone in the catacombs of Torchlight 2 this weekend. Otherwise might pick Duskers back up, now I that I've figured out how to do a reset that doesn't retain the brutal enemy level of previous plays. And may fire up Strife to see how it's aged versus memory.

amund: I will be finishing up the Kathy Rain story then moving on to Shardlight. Also started Torchlight 2 so will play that to kill some time.
Kathy Rain is an awesome game; way better than Shardlight, in my humble opinion. I finished Kathy Rain in one sitting, whereas I have yet to beat Shardlight, having started it when it came out. I think the story and setting in Shardlight just aren't as interesting and/or engrossing as I first thought they would be. It certainly is no Primordia, which still stands as the best Wadjet Eye-published game, to me.

I hope you'll enjoy Kathy Rain as much as I did. You will, if you have at least the slightest interest in Twin Peaks. :P
My Sacred 2 disc is due here in half an hour but I'm seriously doubting the damn thing will work so it looks like I might finally have a go at Syberia.

Also I wanted to point out that the GOG Torchlight 2 runs a lot smoother and quicker than the one I have from Runic, so those of you putting it off getting it here because you have it elsewhere might want to reconsider.

So many people got Torchlight but so few are playing it online :( The game is a blast, coop, but I don't see any interesting rooms open, and no one wants to add me as a friend so we can play together.

GOG isn't known for the massive online community. :P

Come over here and fix my shit internet connection and I'd be glad to play with him! :P
Tomorrow is World Play Day. That means I will play with children. Boardgames, Cardgames. Using bricks and Balls, Sackrace and riding go-karts...

And maybe I can play a few virtual days running my shop 'Recettear'. I am plaing it on my tablet with a keyboard in its cover. The keys are rather small and don't react sometimes. Fighting monsters is very tricky...
Giving Torchlight 1 another go, maybe I'll stick with it this time (want to beat it before starting the sequel). Probably interspersed with Don't Starve, as I remain quite addicted. I still need to check out the newest version of Master of Orion...
Finally installed Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons, so I hope to get time free over the bank holiday to actually sit down and play.
Also play some more Soulstorm maps.
Still on Wizardry Gaiden 4, but I feel I should maybe write a little game of my own.

(I originally put Wizardry 4 there, but note that Wizardry 4 and WIzardry Gaiden 4 are *totally* different; they're not even remotely similar, despite both being Wizardry and using classic mechanics. Wizardry 4 is just *so* unlike the rest of the series, while Wizardry Gaiden 4 is basically a weird mix of classic and modern Wizardry.)

I'm aware of that, but Grim Dawn, Victor Vran and even Dying Light all have a decent amount of GOGgers creating rooms and playing with each other. Torchlight II is well placed in the best selling games on the front page, I assume lots of people are buying it. and even though most of the GOG community is kind of "anti-online", it's a game with a stellar online coop, it's lots of fun with friends, which makes it a bit baffling for me how so very few people are playing it online (the few rooms I've seen were Brazillian ones with ALL CAPS DESCRIPTION/TITLE, and I'm not joining those).

Yeah I get it, sorry I can't play with you though.
Probably won't get back to TL2 for quite a while.
Just reinstalled TL1 yesterday.
