Gaming This Weekend

by Joshua Fruhlinger on April 6, 2007 at 06:05 PM


Weekends were made for gaming (or was gaming made for weekends?). With so many choices and so little time, picking a bad game can lead to a frustrating day off. Don't waste your Sunday!

Guitar Hero II
Gather the family for Easter dinner and rock out with Guitar Hero II, finally released for the Xbox 360. For around $80-90 you get the game, a guitar controller, and hours of fun. Warning: Don't be surprised if family members take over your living room when they see this one.

Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar
Looking for a break from World of Warcraft? Perhaps you're a relentless Lord of the Rings fan. This new online game comes out April 24, but if you pre-order you can get in on the free beta test period.

Super Paper Mario
The fat plumber is back with Super Paper Mario for the Nintendo Wii. He arrives next Tuesday, but this might a reason to save your cash.

Sony PSP Drops in Price
Speaking of saving cash, if you waited all this time for Sony to drop the price on the PlayStation Portable, your wish has come true. The PSP is now $169.

Baseball is Back!
Hot dogs, beer, and the crack o' the bat. While it may still be 20-degrees outside where you live, that can't stop you from picking up one of the new baseball games: MLB 2K7 (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, and Nintendo DS) or MLB: The Show (PS2, PSP, and May 15 for the PS3).
