What we are playing: May 20, 2012

What we are playing is a weekly column published every Sunday. Various members of the team let the world know which games have had them hooked over the past week and which they’re looking forward to.

Ryan Reynolds- This week was all about two games; Diablo III and Max Payne 3. I didn’t touch anything else. I played Diablo for 9 hours straight once I sat down to play it, which I’m sure is nothing compared to many others out there. On the Max Payne front, I’m enjoying it, but I’m undecided on how I feel about it overall thus far. It’s definitely good, but I’m not sure if it achieves must own status. I’m still treading through, so we’ll see.

Andy Tran- This week I dove into the grab bag of indie games that I have on Steam. I had a little taste of Trine 2, which I’m told has a very good multiplayer mode. Then The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom and Atom Zombie Smasher for some puzzle and brain use. Then to top it all off – a game with an amazing soundtrack – Bastion. It really drew me in with the story and even more with the combat.

Nick DePetris- I got Alan Wake last week and have already played through the entire campaign. It was a thriller! I also played a ton more Awesomenauts and started off the musical adventure of Sword and Sworcery. I’m loving it so far, very cool style.

Scott Waldyn- Yeah… I’m still playing Skyrim. Sorry for the lack of an update or a switch, but I must complete it. My obsession for it is bordering on a Batman rogues’ gallery level of obsession.

Sean Prideaux- It’s been mostly Mass Effect 3 this week and very little else. As I am making my way through Mass Effect and ME2 before I start the campaign on 3, I sunk most of my time into playing the multiplayer. I’ve just moved off of bronze modes and now I’m playing silver for the extra credit rewards.

Nate Hubler- I finally finished Rayman Origins off and got all of the Skull Teeth. I also picked up Orcs Must Die during the XBLA sale so I have been starting to sink my own teeth into that.

Now that you know what we’re playing, we want to know what YOU are playing. Leave us a comment below!
