Hot off the heels of our SoulSilver/HeartGold review and I still cannot stop thinking about Ekans. Ekans is the Rattlesnake Pokemon and there are so many reasons why it is the best one. So many, in fact, that I might write an article about it as if the joke didn't get old on Friday. In fact, I will definitely do that some time this coming week.
Anyway, videogames were played, so feel free to hit the Ekans and find out which Ekans were Ekans'd by the Destructoid Ekans. Ekans.

Concelmo: All Final Fantasy XIII and hanging out with GDC people. Woo hoo!
Oh, also a little of the new Miles Edgeworth game on the plane. Loving it!
Aziz: Chad, you drooled on my pillow last night. Thanks.
Tolentino: Final Fantasy XIII, with a bit of Heavy Rain and Assassin's Creed 2 on the side. As Dale said some weeks ago, all you haters can suck it!
I also played the Just Cause 2 demo on PC, and have decided that I will either buy a gamepad or play it on a console (or find a way to sync my DualShock 3 to my PC).
Oh, and Dragon Age/Bad Company 2.
Concelmo: That isn't drool. <3
Sterling: Final Fantasy XIII has had the majority share of my time and I wish it didn't. Also been playing Metro 2033, but I'm holding off because I need the final version, otherwise the score will be quite negatively affected. Also been having a blast with Pokemon SoulSilver all week. EKANS EKANS EKANS!
Holmes: Seconded on the new Ace Attorney game. It's much better than I expected, feels like a cross between the other Ace Attorney games and classic Lucas Arts point-and-click joy. I love it.
Also played more Mass Effect 2, but I think I'm going to stop for good. It's so well made, but I'm just not interested in playing it. It's not fun. Then there's Deadly Premonition, which is the exact opposite. I'm only about an hour in, but it's yet to disappoint. I haven't played a game with this much non-stop entertainment value since No More Heroes 2. I still can't believe the Tom and Jerry reference. So amazing...
Also, also played some Rez HD, Mega Man 10, and Yakuza 3. Taking a break from all of them when Cave Story WiiWare comes out tomorrow. So excited!
Grim: I played simultaneously share a bed with Jonathan Ross, Chad, Joseph, and Andrea. There are no losers -- everyone won.
North: Limbo. I played Limbo. I love Limbo.
I also love multiplayer Raskulls. GDC has also let me get my paws on really great games like Puzzle Quest 2. I can't wait to own all three games.
PerLee: DJ Hero! Bit.Trip Runner! FF XIII!
Bennett: Finally finished my 2nd playthrough of Mass Effect 2, everyone survived and I got laid. Awesome game.
Tonight finally sees me settling down with FFXIII even though all I want to do is play FFX, so I'm sure my Twitter followers will be kept well informed of my opinions.
Razak: I charged through Uncharted 2, which I thought started out disappointing in that I didn't see how awesome it was right away thanks to how the story is built. However, that changed as I played through. Truly amazing now that I have actually got to play all of it. Also got some multiplayer Dead Space Extraction on. Not so sure about it so far. Seemed like a lot of talking without much shooting. We'll have to see.
Holmes: Oh crap, Cave Story WiiWare isn't this Monday, it's next Monday. I need a redaction!
Sarkar: Since I'm reviewing it, I continued to play pretty much nothing but MLB 10 The Show. I'm really loving the new real-time presentation stuff, although Catcher Mode is starting to get kinda boring. Actually, I don't think it's boring so much as it is slow -- when you're playing as a pitcher, you can really speed things up, but that's not doable as a catcher.
I took a break from baseball and spent my Saturday evening singing Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on Expert in The Beatles: Rock Band. I five-starred 11 out of the 14 songs on Rubber Soul (and gold-starred six of the 11), and I four-starred the other three. I managed to five-star every single song on Sgt. Pepper's, gold-starring five of the 12. Yep, I'm pretty proud.

Will probably pick up SoulSilver for vacation next week. I'm evolving (No pun intended) from Game Boy in the back seat to DS in coach class.
Played more Tastunoko vs Capcom ("Neverlet aaAaanything, get in the way of saaaving those that looOooOve!), a little more Mega Man 10 (savor it), and started in on Final Fantasy XIII. I'm convinced that I don't really like JRPGs: I like Final Fantasy RPGs.
Also, I started playing Endless Ocean: Blue World, which [url=http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Tubatic/my-honest-first-impressions-of-that-new-sequel-166968.phtmlthis post is actually about[/url]. You know, its really *quite* good if you can forgive the rough edges. Its going ot be my pallette cleanser between MM10 and FFXIII this week.
Been playing Pokemonz all day. No ekanzzzzzzz yet, but I will get ekanzzzzzzzz very soon. EKANZZZZZZZZ
Do you love me now, Mom? DO YOU?
Soon I'll sink my teeth into Pokemon SS, and probably catch an Ekans. And after that Miles Edgeworth. All the games in 2010 have had amazing quality, and in such abundance too.
Doesn't Cave Story come out on March 22? As in a week from tomorrow (and not tomorrow)? Not to be a killjoy, but I've been waiting patiently for Cave Story too, and I don't remember it coming out tomorrow...
Butterfree spelled backwards is Eerfrettub.
Nice try though.
Oh, and I've been no-lifing Pokemon Blue and Mario Tennis GBC for the last week or so, in and out of class.
Fine, you grammar nazi! Butterfree * switch the syllables * is free Butter
*grumbles* we go play Pokémon heart gold or soul silver! I'll beat you with my team of Ekans!! *Hissssssss*
Provided your Ekans' can stand a team of Level 100 Totodiles.
I swear I will make one...someday.
Just need SS and to steal my friends' DS several times over to make the team...
At least I can always rely on Ekans.
TF2. Usual.
I actually played 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. I almost wanted to kill myself.Terrible, terrible creation.
I also finished Dante's Inferno in 2 days. Wow. Damn good game. ALSO COCKS (literally)
Street Fighter Alpha 3.... hate you Sagat, love you Rose...Ken...you're ok
S.S.B.Brawl... MR MEMEMOTCHISTHEBESTANDIT'SONLYON2DFUCKYOUR.O.B.!!!
Soul Calibur II ( GameCube version ).... I miss you Yoshimitsu.
S.S.B.Melee... SUPERFASTSUPERFASTSUPERFASTUUUUUUUURBOOOOOOOOOOOMAAAAAAN
Robot Unicorn Attack... You ruined everything that's good in the world for me
Actually, if you switch the syllables in Butterfree it makes "Free-er-butt". Something we all should have, no doubt?
God of War 2 since I finished 1. I'm going to try to beat the collection before Tuesday.
A dash of SFHD and IV, as always. Also a little TvC and Resi 4.
OH WELL.
I guess I'm currently experiencing the videogame equivalent of devouring a TV series via DVD. As soon as I finish one game, I can move right on to the next!
And Miles Edgeworth is everything I wanted it to be. Great gaming weekend.
