WRUP: Happy 2009 edition

by Richard Mitchell { Jan 2nd 2009 at 5:00PM }

It's totally 2009, fanboys! Happy New Year and such! We're all off enjoying the festivities of a new year. More specifically, we finally have time to play all the games we just haven't gotten around to. Well, most of us, anyway. Read on to see what we're all playing at Fanboy Towers. As always, don't forget to tell us what you're playing in the comments.

Richard Mitchell (SenseiRAM): I picked up both The Club and Virtua Fighter 5 for $15 (thanks Blockbuster 2-for-1 sale!), so I'll hopefully be spending some time with those. I'm also digging into Mega Man 9, which is as tough as nails but wonderful. I got a chance to play Little Big Planet, which I enjoyed quite a bit. I'm also just starting Far Cry 2. One of its playable characters is from my hometown, Tulsa, Oklahoma, so I'm assuming it's the best game ever. One of these days, I'm determined to beat the last level of Bionic Commando: Rearmed on the highest difficulty level.

Dustin Burg (SuperDunners): Dustin is off gallivanting about or some such, so let's just say he's playing Gears of War 2.

Xav de Matos (Snypz): It's been (nearly) nothing but a Fallout 3 marathon for me while I spend some more quality time with my pick for Game of the Year. The only other game that's spinning in my 360 is Call of Duty: World at War, which I'm finally getting around to. Might go back to Gears 2 to finish Horde ... can't go wrong with a game where a gun 'what-got-a-chainsaw' on it -- well, most of the time.

Awesome, glad to hear there's some multiplatform love on the X3F crew. Little Big Planet is made of pure win. For myself, I just picked up Lost Odyssey - I'm late to the party, I know - so I've been playing the hell out of that on my 360 while alternating between LBP and Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the Big Black Grill.

tell me how LO is? I'm looking to play a JRPG this year

Charlie @ Jan 2nd 2009 5:48PM

Jcarpio I would play Tales of Vesperia I'm about 15 hours in and haven't played such a fun game in ages. I never got into LO it just never clicked for me but a lot of people seemed to really like it.

Jcarpio @ Jan 2nd 2009 6:04PM

Would that be good for a first time player of a JRPG?

Deck @ Jan 2nd 2009 6:36PM

Jcarpio: I would highly suggest Lost Odyssey. I played it A LOT when it first came out and loved it. As far as JRPG's go on the 360..it is fabulous. The extra stories called "dreams" are unique and really, really well done.

If you want a JRPG, i'd say go pick it up!

i'm trying to finish Farcry 2, which i love. i'm about 70% done and have put in over 30 hrs. such a great game. and my folks got me Little Big Planet for Christmas, so i want to get started on that. a friend sent me pics of a bunch of characters he's created like The Hulk, Iron Man, Spawn, Darth Maul, The Thing. pretty impressive all the things people have been coming up with.

Mainly call of duty world at war. fallout 3, end war, and maby gears of war 2

Fallout 3 is such a damn meaty game, and even after 60 hours of gaming there's a lot left to do. So I'll be into that again (especially if LIVE borks up).
I just recently bought a second copy of Halo 3 from Amazon ($38.99 with Super Saver Shipping FTW), so I'll jump back into that this weekend, or as soon as it ODST-drops into my mailbox.

I'm trying to find a good gun to use in COD:W@W and it's a grind to do so, so I'll be doing that for sure too. (I'm on my ever-consistent journey to find the WWII- equivalent to the present-day M4 Carbine.)

Deck @ Jan 2nd 2009 6:38PM

Mainly Fallout 3. I love it so very much.

If anything else, most likely some COD: W@W on LIVE or some Left 4 Dead, depending what the friends are up to this weekend.

Still waiting on my xbox's coffin to arrive. Its been a while, do you guys know if Microsoft is behind on this stuff? My status page on xbox.com says that they haven't even shipped it.

NukeAssault @ Jan 2nd 2009 7:26PM

Unfortunately nothing 360 related.. again. I was supposed to of gotten my brothers friends replacement 360. But Microsoft only sent him back a face plate lol. Now i gotta wait even longer. Till then ive been showing my PS3 some love with Valkyria Chronicles. Im actually on my second play through. Its sooo good. Thinking about picking up another game tomorrow. Maybe ill get resistance 2. I need some sort of online shooter. Heck id re buy COD4 or W@W.
