Friday Night Fights: Hot, oily, and red all over

Last week, I mentioned how I hadn’t yet played Splinter Cell: Conviction outside of single-player, but that’s changed in a big way. Since then, I’ve pretty much been playing Hunted and the other co-op modes exclusively. Who knew this stuff could work so well in a stealth environment?

Next week is a big week for multiplayer gaming — do I need to say why? Super Street Fighter IV! It’s a shame fighting games always seem to bring out the gamer rage in me, because I want to have fun like the rest of you. But … I also don’t want to have a heart attack before I hit thirty. Nothing personal, guys.

New to FNF? Read this: Each week, a bunch of Destructoid readers and usually an editor or two get together to play some videogames online. Basically, this is what Friday Night Fights are all about.

The planning for FNF takes place in the forums, where community members volunteer to host by posting their information (gamertag, time to meet up, game, etc.) in the forum post corresponding to the system they’re interested in playing on.

Then, every Friday, reminder posts for those who don’t read the forums regularly go up in the community blogs section all thanks to a dedicated group of cool individuals. And for everyone who wants their info all in one place, they have got my weekly recap posts to look forward to between 4:30 – 5:30 PM EST.

Now that you’re here, just scan the list below and find a game you want to play. All that’s left to do after that is to join the match by contacting the host below using any means necessary. For Wii, you might have to be a little creative, but for 360/PS3 a simple “invite me” message will be fine.

The names on the left are our Destructoid handles, while the ones on the right are our online handles (PSN IDs, for example). Don’t see a game you want to play? Feel free to post a comment offering to take up hosting duties yourself.
