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>

vicklemos: Mine's gonna be a pretty wacky one, since I've been digging into these for the past 2 days so in my case it's a 4-day weekend (all hail corpus christi holidays ;P)

- Prisoner of Ice - it's mind bending puzzles are wrecking my soul (great plot and voice acting)
- Finish Pajama Sam 1 - LOVELY GAME ;P
- Game and Watch Gallery (gba on the WiiU) - did a casual run yesterday and will totally play some more in 5,6 hours
- Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager - finishing the rusky playthrough
- At least try some Rage of Mages on lan (this will be the thoughest one on this list)
- Win the last races on Screamer 2 and....

.... bring up my 10 page notes filled with crude information from FEAR EQUATION. Gotta tinker more and more. This game deserves way more recognition, folks. ;P

mecharma: Someone's gonna be busy!
And you know what's even wackier? I'll play these in separate pcs, scaterred across 3 cities ;P
No joke. News asap :P
Recently managed to put down Forced Showdown and got started on Remember Me.

Still only about 1/4 in but it's a shame that such a compelling setting and story get bogged down by the dull combat and dodgy optimization :/

If I manage to complete it before the weekend is out, I'm probably going to revisit Forced Showdown for some dailies or finally try Fran Bow!

'Analytical chemistry'. It's quite fun, once you're used to it. I'll have to, as the final is planned for monday.
Master of Orion Conquer the Stars

Grand Ages: Rome
I think I walk BloodRayne..
Shadowrun Dragonafall perhaps,
a bit of Space Colony, which I didn't finish before I moved to Linux..
That's the plan : )
I'll probably be reduced to games on my phone. Going out of town for holiday weekend; my husband will hog the laptop for Xenonauts, and the charging port on my daughter's tablet needs to be replaced, so she'll be using my tablet.
My playlist consists of Witcher 3 - after three months of playing only a few hours at sunday I'm going to finish the main story :D
The same like previous two weekends - Warlords Battlecry 3. I think I'm pretty close to finishing it
I got my vacation at last. And a solid weekend playlist consisting of:
Worms Forts Under Siege

"You will regret that!!"

I'm sorry but how can you play Space Colony? God I hate that game. Shit, in The Sims you don't have to tell them WHERE to sit and sleep! :P "This is a bed!" DUH!

MadyNora: I'm not giving up, I'm really enjoying it. The main reason I'm playing Tactician is because I found normal to be a bit easy. I never used crafting, and I bashed the heads of all bosses with ease. I basically just wanted to force myself to use crafting by turning the difficutly up :)
Ah. I didn't find much occasion for crafting, except for the trivial "arrow shaft" + "arrowhead".

MadyNora: My Scarlett is a fire/water mage, with 2 wands. Roderick is an archer+air mage. I mainly use Madora and Bairdotr. Sometimes Wolgraff, mainly when I know that the area is heavily trapped. Jahan is my craftsman in the shelter plane. Madora and Wolgraff are equipped with grenades.
I'm getting the "Morning Person" perk for everyone asap. I'm still at Cyseal, has just killed The Ghoul That Guards The Lighthouse. I am NOT looking forward fighting Pontius, but he is next :(
My Mrkgnao is a fire/earth wizard (with high leadership + lore, mostly from gear); my Mrkrgnao is a wayfarer (ranged + pet pal + a couple of novice skills in witchcraft). I use Jahan (air/water) and Madora (melee + a couple of novice skills in scoundrel). I don't use Bairdotr or Wolgraff at all (except the former to talk to Jareth). Pontius and the Black Cove Crab were I believe the last challenging fights for me.

I didn't get "morning person" for anyone, as they rarely die and the default (20%?) seems fine when they do.

MadyNora: Oh, and this time I did NOT give Roderick an AI. That was annyoing as hell. Scarlett and him were arguing like a married couple all game long (ironically this was my only playthrought where they ended up as lovers.....). Most of the time he f**ed up my quest by being an idiot >_>
I disabled all character interaction five minutes after starting the game.

It had dodgy optimization?
I might be remembering this wrong but I did like that how well you did at the combat influenced the combat music.
Still not combletly rid of the cold so havent played that much.
Mostly playing Outlaws and watching anime.
Currently watching Devil may cry and considering starting on serial Experiments Lain but i migth hold off on that until i
dont have a cold annymore.
Finally managed to drag myself away from the commonwealth to play Witcher 3
I was finally able to get my hands on The Witcher 3 and the Season pass, so I think I am good for quite some weekends now :)
