In other news, it's time for games of the week! What have the Destructoid editors been playing since last we all convened? What have YOU been playing? Let's share together! Hit l'jump for more.  

Hamza: I played a bunch of Atari games with the only ones I can talk about being The Chase, Sacred 2 and My Horse and Me. I sat through 40 minutes of My Horse and Me and I still have no idea why I did it.

At least I ended the week by playing the new Prince of Persia!

Topher: Baltimore NARP. I played everything. 

DMV: Valkyria Chronicles is the only thing I've gotten to play in between watching Korean films and writing about them. I can't wait until the semester is over, just so I can take a break from writing and play some games.

Nick: Prince of Persia on the PlayStation 3; Prince of Persia: Fallen King on the DS; Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe on both PS3 and 360; Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 on the Nintendo DS; and some other games that are played on consoles.

Jim: I am slowly getting used to Fallout 3. Starting to look forward to playing it during the day, even though I'm still not utterly enthralled. I also played through Gears 2 again with my brother, and completed Call of Duty: World at War for review. Two of these games I will play in the future. One I will not. Guess which is which. 

Colette: It's been a whole lot of Fallout 3 for me this past week and not much else, although I did enjoy the hell out of that Left4Dead demo a few days back.

Chad: I officially decided: I will hard pressed to find a better game than World of Goo this year. That game is so freakin' amazing I don't even have the words to describe it. But, then again, I haven't played Fallout 3 yet. Or Resistance 2. Or Left 4 Dead. Or Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Goddammit, I am so behind!

Also, just starting Dead Space as a type this ...

Conrad: I'm still completely sucked into Fallout 3. I did manage to break away for short doses of Geometry Wars 2 and Rock Band 2.

After getting my final achievement in The Orange Box (very proud to have 1000/1000 in such a great game collection), I've returned to playing Fable 1.

I'm gonna repeatedly play the L4D and ME demos, because I'm poor and they're fucking awesome. Also, finally got Rain-Slicked Precipice Ep. 1, and played through that. Now I gotta finish up some achievments on it. Also HL Ep. 1 and 2.

Mirror's Edge is basically all I played this weekend. Finished it for the first time yesterday, and then put on some podcasts and stormed through Hard Mode without shooting any enemies. The final room is an absolute asshole, but I did manage to finish it again in that same day.

I wouldn't say it's a short game though. I mean the game relies on eventual mastery of the levels to get those competitive speed-run scores, and so there being less levels means that you are an assload more likely to be able to learn them inside and out to speed the hell up.

Completing the Office Time Trial was the highlight of my week as sneaky path-finding meant I could finish it in just 22 seconds, which is something I will definitely use to speed up my achievement run. Such a sweet game.

@ BFeld13: Always detonate before your shield runs out, don't try to push it. Cancel your explosions every now and then to grab the yellow time pickups in Unlimited mode; if you keep your timer full and don't blow your built up multiplier/speed bonuses by dying, you can pretty much play forever and rack up huge scores. In Limited mode, work on your timing to get beat bonuses as often as you can. Grab speed and multiplier pickups as quickly as possible to help you get higher scoring combos before time runs out.

If you can find it check out Peter Jackson's (yes, thats the LOTR Peter Jackson) Meet the Feebles. The movie is like Jim Henson's muppets on acid. Trust me the movie is funny I've only seen a clip but its raunchy as hell.

Lots of LBP, to the point of wanting to throw my controller at times. I'm working on !00% the single player and so far I just have all of The Temples left and The Bunker( I might shoot myself before acing that one) and The Collector's Layer. I need some friends on PSN to help me get the items that are multiplayer only and I'll be ready to hit up the user created content.

I've been playing LBP, tons of Fallout 3, and a little bit of Resistance 2. I also got Prince of Persia Classic on PSN. I can't wait for the new one.

LittleBigPlanet... And I'm sad, because of my network problems I didnt get a chance to properly enjoy the game.

I also started playing Ocarina of Time again yesterday, and I just became Adult Link. Its 10 years since it was released in a couple of days.

Mirror's Edge has been my main priority this week, finished Chapter 5 yesterday and I'm going to do Chapter 6 later tonight. Enjoying it massively so far, and my hunger for Trophies is really keeping me going at the time trials.

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift has also been going into the PS3, its immeasurably better than the original and a hell of a lot more fun.

Also Valkyria Chronicles, I think we all know how good that game is.

King of Fighters 2002, and Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

Just placed an order for the Wii version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and still eagerly awaiting Left 4 Dead. Wow, L4D is going to eat up all my time.

I just finished Fallout 3 yesterday, so then I decided to (finally) star Megal Gear Solid 2. I'm like 4 or 5 hours in, and it's really really fun!

Also a lot of Valkyria Chronicles, and a tiny bit of LittleBIgPlanet.

@garison: Enjoy MGS2, it's crazy shit.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (on my Wii, never had a Gamecube.) Basically bought it because I love advance wars, saw it's by the same people, and thought Ike was pretty cool in Brawl.
Final Fantasy IV (On GBA). Game save got wiped somehow, but I found "a way" to continue from almost where I left off, so I've been level grinding and I'm almost done with that.

Little Big Planet
Fallout 3
Left 4 Dead demo (and in a day or so, the full version)
and God Hand, which I picked up for 10 bucks in a Best Buy bargain bin the other week.

Now as for what I have LEFT to play, well Jesus Christ. So many games sitting on my desk, waiting to be played. If only I wasn't sucked completely into LBP at the moment..

Both Banjos like a sumbitch! Nuts and Bolts' vehicle editor is sickeningly addictive, I just make them to mess around with them. I'll probably never finish the game as a result.

And the original Banjo holds up brilliantly. I love that game as if it were my child.

Finished up Fallout 3 last week. Now I'm killing time with Burnout: Paradise and Banjo-Kazooie on XBLA until Nuts & Bolts and Left 4 Dead arrive from Amazon and then I plan on leaving my apartment as little as possible.
