Whats everyone playing this weekend?

I'm bashing away at a cheap rental of Force Unleashed on Wii, despite of all its shortcomings I am enjoying it somewhat. The controls are unresponsive and the camera is terrible but using the force powers is just pure fun ad the story is very good also.

Its very frustrating because if those issues were resolved it could be a fantastic game, it just feels slightly unfinished, almost like a demo build.

So what is anyone else at?

Secret of Mana. It's amazing.

Jaysus, not many people playing the Wii anymore. I'm this close to selling mine on now I have to say. Played it damn near every day for the first 18 months but then all the good games were played and there's just nothing there now. Last game I got was Punchout but it barely holds my attention.

Playing Mario Galaxy and Sports Resort with the kids. Still enjoy playing the Wii, have never had enough money to buy all the decent games the week they come out so there are loads I still want to buy, and plenty to keep me going with the Wii.

Playing Wolfenstein, Far Cry 2 and hopefully Metroid Prime Trilogy.

Pro Evo 2009 & maybe a bit of Ea Grand Slam.

Ah Secret of Mana, what a game.

Resident Evil 5.

Its not a great survivor horror series anymore but a clunky shooter.
I still enjoy it though and it looks amazing.

EDIT : Oops wrong forum.

The Beatles: Rock Band. Got it yesterday, it's so much fun to play!

I'm the very same myself, the back catalogue is still pretty big but stuff like Zack and Wiki that 6 months ago I was really keen to try simply doesn't interest me anymore. I'm hardly bothered to look at the shelves in shops at the moment. Everything I'm playing on Wii is VC stuff.

I started playing No More Heroes but got a bit bored of it. It's cool and all but meh.

My Xbox came back from the shop so....

In the meantime i finished of Zelda WindWaker that I left ages ago. In the wind temple. hated it! The game was pretty cool overall though.

Currently playing The Beatles - Rock Band, Muramasa - The Demon Blade and Ocarina of Time. My flat-mate is going through Twilight Princess, while another friend whenever he comes over plays through that and Majora's Mask.

Pokémon Platinum, still working on a lvl 100 team while dipping into the Battle Frontier.

Haven't played my Wii for a while unfortunately but Little King's Story and Wario Land Shake Dimension are on my list

It's going to be a long time before I get through all the shin megami tensei games considering I put 110 hours into Persona 3. There others are supposedly juts as long.

Strange Journey looks great and it's the fourth game in the main series and goes back to the roots of the excellent SNES games. I think it uses the brilliant Etrian Oddyssey's engine.

Cursed Mountain on the Wii

Strange journey is going to be bigger then others even though its on a smaller console. 300 demons are going to be in Strange Journey. I believe thats around 100-150 more then Nocturne.

Its defo the Etrian Oddyssey Engine or a tweaked version.

Any good? Reviews have been up and down (pardon the weak mountaineering pun) but I like the fact publishers are trying to give the Wii a bit of variety in its line up. And Nintendo actually spending a few quid advertising it.:eek:

Oh, and I have just finished Super Mario Galaxy with a paltry 102 stars. Now onto Zack and Wiki

I don't know... the only USB loaders I have on my Wii anymore are the NeoGamma R7 and the Configurable USB Loader (you know, the one with the Flow/Cool Iris GUI). But it works fine without any tinkering on mine.

What are you playing this weekend?
