What Are All The Non-Call Of Duty Fans Playing This Week?
The gaming world has exploded.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is here; lines have been out the door at most every GameStop around the country, midnight launch parties kicked off last night, and millions are playing Infinity Ward's hot new game right now.
But if you're not interested at all, what are you playing this week? I think it's important to remember that there are other gamers out there, and not everyone was clamoring to get their hands on Activision's latest billion-dollar product. So maybe you were one of those people who were standing in line for another reason; maybe you were actually there to buy Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, just to thumb your nose at the gathering, dazed masses who will buy anything with "Call of Duty" in the title.
Disclaimer: I'm not implying that everyone who bought MW3 is a dazed sheep; I'm saying some people - those who might make a statement by purchasing Disgaea on November 8 - might think that.
So if you're not one of those who have the new CoD in your console right now, we want to know: what are you playing this week? Finishing up Batman: Arkham City? Still enjoying Battlefield 3? Anxiously awaiting The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim? Still catching up on a backlog that includes games like L.A. Noire, Portal 2, and LittleBigPlanet 2? Let us know.

I've been enjoying some classic games lately. Still playing some old school GTAs, mostly Vice City and San Andreas. In addition to those, I found copies of Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit and Colin McRae Rally at the local Goodwill, and have been having fun doing some lo-res racing.

-Arkham City
-Halo Reach
-GTA IV: The Lost and the Damned (then afterwards, Ballad of Gay Tony ;)
-Resistance 3
-Deus Ex: The Missing Link
-Gears 3
-Battlefield 3
A bit lower down the list, I occasionally dive into Killzone 3 (Captain! But not General yet like in Killzone 2..), AC: Brotherhood, and Fallout 3, to name a (and very) few.
I try my best to make time, despite University :)

I still haven't completed ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, Battlefield 3 White Knight Chronicles 2, Enslaved and I've barely touched Saints Row 2. I have a lot to keep me occupied for a while.

So I took a break from it & played some of this months free PS+ game, Hydrophobia Prophecy.
And I've also been playing some of Homefront's SP campaign.
I love both of them too, especially the whole concept & storyline of Homefront so far, but it's really been pissing me off big-time cause it's froze my Slim up at 8 different spots in the campaign already.
(***Possible spoiler alert ahead ***)
And I have a hard enough frigging time piloting a helicopter without it freezing in 3 different places of me trying to fly, maneuver, and run & gun, all while protecting my now-hijacked tanker convey while while throwing chaff at the SAMS streaking across the sky at me.
I wish THQ hadn't disbanded Kaos, just so they could patch it, Damn it!

im really enjoying it so far i really wanted to finish the wii version but couldent because it was like rubbing broken glass in my eyes!
so im happy they did a, well what they call a HD version.
still looks like sh*t, but at least nowhere near as bad as the wii version.
only if we could have rare back and let them do a proper sequel to that masterpiece!

That, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Arkham City, Tomb Raider HD Trilogy (just have Underworld left), Splinter Cell HD Trilogy, Goldeneye 007 Reloaded, Hydrophobia Prophecy (free with PS Plus) and Assassin's Creed Revelations coming next week and Skyward Sword the week after that. My Winter is packed!
I already platinumed Uncharted 3 and 100% inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood recently so there's those two as well.

Here is what you do: First, take the Hard Drive out of your system. Second, place your console upside-down in a cardboard boxing with the open end of the box facing you, so the vents in the back of the PS3 are facing you as well. THen, grab a hair dryer, set to the highest setting, and slowly move back and forth along the vents for about 15 minutes, staying 3-4 inches away from the system at all times. Finally, take it out of the box, (careful, it will be HOT), and place it in front of a fan for about an hour. Plug it in and you are all set!
Really, I didn't have the money to get it fixed pro, and I am not that good at fixing heat sinks and soldering and what not, so this was my only option. I tried it and it worked. It is not a permanent fix, (some people say it lasts a few hours, others a few months), but it will at least be long enough to get your disc out and back up your saves and such.

I was really getting into BF3, mp. It's very good. But sadly I jumped on MW3 last night n I don't think BF3 will get played much for awhile.

After that, I'll be finishing Batman: Arkham City for my single player fix, and alternating between Uncharted 3 and Battlefield 3 multiplayer. Hopefully I'll be able to do all this before Skyrim and Revelations come out, otherwise I'm gonna have to put them on the backburner for a bit, as much as it pains me to say it.

I'm also having the urge to dive into Amnesia: The Dark Descent this weekend, which I bought last month on sale for $4.
I'm not doing anything PS3 related lately. This is just a passing anomaly. I'm sure that when I finish Xenoblade, the Wii will be back to collecting dust.
