WRUP: Best laid plans edition


This week is all about Left 4 Dead around Fanboy Towers. Given our time with the game, we're beginning to think the automated Nerf turrets serve as a poor line of defense against zombie invasion. Also, we're sorry to report that one of our writers has suffered a great loss this week. We're talking, of course, about the dreaded Red Ring of Death. See what we've been playing below, and don't forget to tell us what you're playing in the comments.

Richard Mitchell (SenseiRAM): Not one hour after finishing Dead Space (which was very good, by the way), I got the Red Ring of Death. After waiting all year to get my hands on Left 4 Dead, my box dies the day before it releases. Grrr. I bought the game anyway and managed to play it on my brother's Xbox. It's very, very fun and I lament that I'm unable to play it right now. Beyond that, I've been playing an unhealthy amount of A Kingdom for Keflings through means I'm not allowed to discuss. Also, I dug up Quest for Glory 4, which is my personal favorite in the series, and have been playing it on my Mac via DOSBox.

Dustin Burg (SuperDunners)
: I'll be continuing my quest for completion of wave 50 in Gears of War 2's Horde, trying to figure out why I'm so bad at the speed runs in Mirror's Edge and (if I have a few friends) will be giving Left 4 Dead a spin in the old 360 disc drive. Locust killing, building jumping and zombie mutilation FTW

Xav de Matos (Snypz): This week has been mostly about getting things prepared for next week -- we have surprises in store -- so I haven't been spending enough time with the Xbox. My love/hate relationship with Mirror's Edge continues, Mortal Kombat vs. DC has kept me somewhat busy for a few days. Now that everyone around the office is getting copies of Left 4 Dead, I'll have to find the time to play. Apologizes to Alexander and former Joystiq'er Jared Rea for throwing that Molotov Cocktail in the room we were all hiding in... it was a good plan while it lasted.
