Destructoid's games of the week for 02/25/07: erotic contraption edition! photo

This is a sex machine. Any questions?

Hopefully you can stop jacking off and/or rubbing your clitorati long enough to read what our editors have been playing this week. If not, ignore the rest and continue self-pleasuring to that steel monument to eros. 

Dick McVengeance:
Much to Nex and Aaron's delight, I've picked up Lunar Knights, and I am playing that whenever I'm not busy exposing the lives of the poor and destitute in New York City.

Aaron Linde:
Crackdown, when it shows up -- god, soon, please make it soon -- and in the mean time, Final Fantasy VI Advance's bonus dungeon, where even the happiest of cutesy bunnies will rip off your cock and eat it in front of you. Seriously, that dungeon is fucking brutal.

Nick Brutal:
I've embarked upon the Xbox Rewards: Old Spice Challenge, so I will play everything and anything that gives me achievements. That includes Madden 2006.

orcist:
I'm still pissing around 10 years too late, playing Secret of Mana. However, I'm going to spend the weekend scouring my local game stores in an attempt to find Oddworld some where other than eBay.

Faith:
I'm playing Psychonauts, Final Fantasy XII, and Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. I put my other games on hold for now. I have 10 games in total I still need to finish.

I never had this many games to play until I started writing for Destructoid. This site made me want more games than I can play at once. Damn you, Dtoid!

Psychonauts is wicked by the way. Anyone with an Xbox, PS2 or Xbox 360 pick it up. I love the Tim Schafer humor in it.

Grim:
I've been playing a little S.T.A.L.K.E.R multiplayer here and there. I also decided to give Viva Pinata a revisit and found out that you can get a 20 point achievement for simply naming a character. Saying that I went into a fit of uncontrollable laughter would be a huge understatement.

Robert Summa:
I'm playing a lot more PC games these days for whatever reason. I've gotten hooked on Company of Heroes online and just now started the Lord of the Rings Online beta. On the console side, I'm still playing a lot of Crackdown and Resistance Fall of Man.

Not being in NYC anymore, it seems my handheld gaming days are crawling to an end.

Nex:
I've been getting back into Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. If you actually try to do everything in this game, it takes forever. I'm up to twenty hours of play time, and I've still got 20% of the Nest of Evil left. If you thought Dracula was hard, try the optional shit; it's fucking demonic. 

Oh, and my girlfriend got me into Gametap, and it's truly the best $10 a month you can spend on your PC. Between the exclusive Sam and Max games and all the fantastic old and new school stuff you have unlimited access to, this is one of the few purchases I can recommend to anyone, no matter what genres they prefer. 

Colette Bennett:
DS: Just got Lunar Knights, also still playing Rocket Slime and Hotel Dusk. I swear the Honeymoon period will never end with this little portable. I'm just as in love as I was in the beginning!

PC:Installing LOTR beta as we speak, Uru with my man Aaron Linde and a little bit of Phantasy Star 4 thanks to Gametap.

hushgush:
Don't mind me, I snuck in through the back. Playing Dead Rising and Galaga on XBLA.

Fronz:
Lunar Knights, and playing Pokemon Red (replay) and Pokemon Gold (first time) to get back into the series for when Diamond/Pearl comes out. Just got Crackdown too.

 

What have you ladies and gents been playing this week? 'With myself' is the obvious answer, especially in this case, so aim for originality.

I've promised myself that I won't be playing any new games until I'm sure that Fallout 3 won't turn out to be a POS waste of time.

Or until I can buy a new DS Lite. Whichever comes first.

I finished Hotel Dusk this last week. Played some Wii-bowling while I considered what the next game will be. Lunar Knights sounds interesting, but I might go for Phoenix Wright: JFA.

Family Guy Game
GUN

Crackdown!

Finishing that today, and also finishing Insane mode on GOW over co-op. The Locust HATE dominic, apparently. More than Marcus, even.

After that, I'm probably going to finish off Zelda, since that's been languishing since I got the 360. Maybe I'll sell it to Gamestop afterwards... Hmmm... NOPE!

Then after I clear those two games I can finally return to the VC and get Kid Icarus. Maybe buy a Classic Controller so Super Mario World is playable...

Still plugging away at Dragon Quest 8. Turns out I had more to do in that game than I thought at first!

Also, why would you play two Pokemon games at once? It's not meant as a dis: I'm honestly curious.

i didn't like LOTR beta at all...I should have known it would be awful when the name Elrondhubbard was deemed vulgar ><

So is everyone working for Dtoid banging each other now? When will those pictures/videos surface?

Beat Crackdown last night and am now just running through the city racking up achievements and killing myself in funny ways. I'll probably pick up Sonic and the Secret Rings either today or tomorrow and start that.

I've also played the God of War 2 demo about oh I don't know, 10 or 15 times already. God I want that game.

I'm a good way through Hotel Dusk, and plan on playing Sam & Max ep 4 on my next day off. Gametap is indeed a great service for $10 a month, I've been a subscriber for over a year now. My id there is also Mxyzptlk if anyone wants to play some challenge games some time.

The lag in stalker is terrible. I wish they would've released a single player beta instead.

I'm looking for the last 18 agility orbs in Crackdown and trying unsuccessfully to keep a car up in the air for 7 seconds using a rocket launcher.

I just started trying for all the achievements in Dead Rising. I forgot how fun that game is. Also, attempting to finish Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney so I can get the second one. My Gamefly games right now are Wario Ware Smooth Moves (decent...but I'm don't know if I'm gonna buy it) and Lost Planet...which I haven't even loaded up. Oh and Dawn of War Dark Crusade..."For the Greater Good".

I have the Firefly, but I seem to only be able to get a couple of rockets underneath it before it falls too fast to hit it again. I think I'm not trying hard enough. More focused on orbs anyway. Mabec, do have all 300 hidden orbs too? That would be quite an accomplishment (or achievement?)...

Hipple the way I did it was I timed triggering a rocket ever 2 seconds or so, that way after the car reached the maximum height of the last explosion it'd get hit again for another. It helps if you do this on the highway too, you'll get a few extra seconds before it hits the ground if you shoot it off.

I just started on Secret of Mana myself. I'm apparently the only one who remembers that my brother's friend used to bring it to our house and show off the second to last boss like 9 years ago. God the Gaia's Navel is impossible.

I've been playing Quarth (NES), Ikaruga (GC), Imperishable Night (PC) and of course, FFVI for GBA. Doing a low level challenge on an actual cart is a bitch.

On a whim, I picked up Tales of Symphonia. And now I'm kicking myself square in the ass for not doing so sooner.
