The End Is Near (No Wait! It's Here!)

Happy Saturday fellow gamers! It's finally the end of the week and boy was it a big one, what with Grand Theft Auto IV coming out. Phew.

What are you all playing? I just got Red Faction for the Playstation 2 so I'm working my way through that, while also trying to blast away all the aliens on the PSX game, C12: Final Resistance.

What you missed:

- Playstation 3 owners will get a Haze demo on May 6th.
- The final chapter in the Spyro trilogy was announced.
- New Prince of Persia game details.
- EA-Land goes down.
- And a bunch of merger, financial, and ESA and E3 related things.

The Week Hath Ended

Hey gamers, the week's over yet again and we've had a record week. Reached almost 1k hits one of the days (let's do that again) and a record amount of posts, this should be the 35th post of the week if I'm correct.

Tons of awesome news this week, Metal Gear Online Beta started, which we've lost ryizzel to I fear. Then Grand Theft Auto IV grows even closer than before...but let's see the highlights of the week.

-In honor of 4/20 ryizzel wrote up the article: "Top 10 Games to Play While Baked"
-Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe rears it's gaming head.
-Playstation Home gets yet another delay.
-Nintendo announces no price drop for Wii or DS.
-Don't forget about the free promo cards for Eye of Judgment.

Pretty awesome week if I do say so myself gamers, what are you guys playing right now? I'm sort of in that bleak transitional period where I'm not playing anything in particular. Just an hour or two on older games here and there.

Wrapping Up Another Slow Week

One more week down, and I managed to be late on this post where we discuss our gaming adventures of the week and subsequent weekend. Better late than never right?

So what games did you guys play over the weekend?

I worked my way through The Darkness, which I picked up used for ten bucks (Huzzah!). It was definitely worth it and now I'm considering crawling through on Hard mode...but then again I generally suck at staying alive in games like that. I'm thinking about finishing up this Sunday with a little Guitar Hero and Super Mario Galaxy (Yeah, still haven't beaten it, I suck).

You guys don't want to hear what I wasted my time on though, so let's go over the Highlights of the Week

-Marvel characters are back in style, Spidey and Iron Man get more games.

-Codename: Cagney, the next update for Burnout Paradise gets more details, user-created soundtrack for the win.

-Playstation Store gets a much needed overhaul.

-Konami cracks down on Beta abusers.

Hoppy B&W Easter Everyone!

That's right, yet again it's Zombie Jesus Day and we must eat the delicious sugary Peeps and search for colorful eggs in celebration of our flesh-eating savior.

We love Easter at B&W, it actually gives us a reason to be lazy.

Anyways, we just wanted to wish you all a happy Easter, and hopefully a great gaming day. What are you all going to be playing?

Undrallio: I know I'm going to be switching between Virtua Quest on the Gamecube, Valkyrie Profile 2 on the Ps2, and Mario Galaxy for the Wii. Just ordered Folklore for the Ps3 today too, so my mind will mostly be thinking about that the whole time.

Hoppy Easter!

Gamer Discussion

Hidey Ho there B&W'ers, I figured we could start this Friday morning off with a reader/writer discussion! Let's continue this after the break so as to not distract from the gaming news.

The question posed today is What Game Has You Drooling Right Now? It could be a super retro game that you've recently seen a review of somewhere, or maybe a Ps2 or Xbox, or even Gamecube game that you remembered always wanting to try.

Of course it could also be a brand spankin' new one like Army of Two. I think you're getting the idea. Out of aaaalll the games in the world, what one do you want the most right now?

For me I've had the incredible craving for Folklore on the Ps3. I played the demo months ago and saw the reviews and just dismissed it, but now I've been wanting it more and more. Then again, what I want even more than Folklore is the DualShock 3 controller, but that's not really a game now is it?

So readers, what game or gaming peripheral is it that you're drooling over right now?
