Weekend, what are you playing?

Mid-October and more game releases just around the corner but before that, what are you playing right now?

Migoy: Got me some Kirby Mass Attack action going on. Truly, Hal Labs makes and amazing Kirby experience every single time and I haven’t played a DS game that felt like a real DS game in a long time. The game is touch-screen only and works like a dream. Also started playing Megaman Battle Network 6: Cybeast Falzar. I guess you could still consider this a throw-back since I beat MMBN6 Cybeast Gregar back when they first came out.. Same story, same gameplay with just enough differences to change things up.

Quash: Batman: Arkham City and Battlefield 3 is only around the corner! but for this weekend, I'm just still enjoying Dark Souls. Already finished the game and playing New Game+. You restart the game from the beginning after you finish the game with all your gear and level carried over. At the same time, every enemy and boss hits harder and gives you more souls. Gathering my thoughts now to do an actual review of the game.

Gran Turismo 5 Spec 2.0 Opening

Arlie: Boomshakalaka, baby! I'm playing NBA Jam: On Fire Edition right now. Gran Turismo 5 Spec 2.0 update was also released earlier this week that will be followed by a DLC pack which includes things like the Spa Francorchamps track, WRC/NASCAR Racing Gears, Touring Cars and the new Red Bull X2011 Prototype that will be released on October 18. A free Red Bull X2010 S.Vettel was also given away to all GT5 players to celebrate Sebastian Vettel's world championship victory on the Suzuka Circuit on last week's Japanese F1 Grand Prix. Today is the last day you can claim your free Red Bull X2010.

Scribblenauts scribbles its way into the iPhone and iPad

THINK IT! CREATE IT! SOLVE IT! The unique DS series, Scribblenauts, which lets you conjour up items or creatures by typing in nouns to solve puzzles is now available for iOS devices.

Going under the name Scribblenauts Remix, I hear that this game is a port of Scribblenauts 2 from the DS which means that aside from nouns, you can create even crazier things by combining nouns with adjectives. Aside from all that, the game boasts that it has 10 new levels exclusive to the iOS versions.

The game is going for $4.99 in the app store. So what are you waiting for? Get the game and type in "Cthulu"! :D

GTA 3 coming to iOS and Android

It's Rockstar's 10-year anniversary and they're celebrating it by releasing the groundbreaking 3D open-world game Grand theft Auto III.

The game is said to be released later this fall but no official date or price was given. I am very curious to see how this game will play on a touch-screen or how well the controls will translate on them tiny cellphone buttons and if there will be enhancements or cut-backs due to the very different nature of the hardware that it's going to be on.

Here is the list of supported devices that the game will run on.

Apple iOS Devices: iPad 2, iPhone 4S Android Phones: Droid X2, HTC Evo 2, LG Optimus 2X, Motorola Atrix, Samsung Galaxy S2 Android Tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Mega Man is neither apprehended nor slain. HOPE!

I'm assuming you've all seen the new trailer for Phoenix Wright and Nova for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Along with the gameplay reveal of the new characters, some of the released gameplay videos also showed off some new stages. There's a certain detail in one of those stages that is causing a lot of buzz.

In the stage 'Future Past' there is a wanted poster showing off a bunch of characters with either the label 'slain' or 'apprehended'. Much like the Uncanny X-Men comic cover which features mutants from the X-Men series, this poster shows off a lot of characters from Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Each character already has a mark. Everyone except one character that is.

List of Apprehended Characters – Colossus Ruby Heart Gambit Hayato Psylocke BB Hood Unknown?

List of Slain Characters – Cyclops Marrow Ice Man Jin Saotome Cable Amingo Captain Commando Son Son

Characters with no label or an obscured label - Mega Man

Missing Characters – Thanos Blackheart Venom Juggernaut Omega Red Rogue Sabretooth Silver Samurai Spiral Anakaris Roll Servebot Cammy Charlie Dan Dhalsim Guile Ken Bison Sakura Zangief Uncanny X-Men #141

New Final Fantasy XIII-2 trailer brings back old friends

Square Enix just released a brand new trailer that's seven-minutes long. The trailer is similar to old trailers of Final Fantasy XIII(Emotional music incoming), and finally shows Snow, Hope, and the rest of the gang with new looks.

Thanks to IGN for the embedded video above, now we have a better understand on what is actually going on. They really can't catch a break since it looks like Lightning disappears minutes after the ending of the first game.

Not really sure what to say about this game. A story based on time travel? and the third character as a monster? Another risk to keep things fresh it seems. This sequel is pretty much the Final Fantasy XIII with Towns, exploration, etc.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be out early next year for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
