What we are playing: May 6th, 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- Nearly all of my free time this week went into Awesomenauts. I hate to use this pun but…It’s awesome. I really hope we see more MOBA games on consoles in the near future. Other than that, I played a few hours of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer and that’s about it for me this time around.

Nick DePetris- I’ve been pounding away on my backlog, taking on both Brutal Legend and Bloodrayne: Betrayal. I’ve enjoyed both way more than expected given the critical response. Dance Central 2 has found a place back in my rotation, and I picked up Awesomenauts, one of my favorite games from PAX East. As Ryan said, it is, well, awesome.

Sean Prideaux- As much as I wish i could get at my backlog of games new ones keep bombarding me. The Walking Dead was a lot of fun and improves greatly on what Jurassic Park started. Finishing Fable Heroes after the final level unlocked was nice and starting Warp. Now I’m getting sucked into Awesomenauts as well.

Andy Tran- I took the time to revisit some classic games like Devil May Cry 3 from the HD collection. It brought me back to the days when I was surprised how they got Dante’s hair to flow. Then I had to satiate my next-gen appetite with a Ghost Recon Online beta.

Nate Hubler- This week was actually quite busy for me gaming wise. I finally beat War for Cybertron and put it to rest. I have also been playing Rayman Origins but it will take me a while to finish it since I must get every skull tooth. I also loaded up Trine and Amnesia on Mac both of which I haven’t finished and both of which are incredible.

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