GameStop stops taking your PlayStation 2 as a trade-in next month, EVE Online shared its tenth birthday with Orson Welles, and EA just announced The Sims 4 for 2014. By the way, if you were to buy The Sims 3 plus all of its expansions right now, it would cost you $539.78.
What are you playing this weekend?

I'll be spending more time with
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move. So far I'm kind of liking it as it doesn't control like the past games. In fact, it's kind of like
Pipe Dream, of all things. It's a different way to play the series and requires a different strategy than the past games.

Now that my semester is over and I have a lot more free time outside of work, I'll be kicking
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen into high gear. I've been going back to
Tomb Raider to try and knock that off the list (47 percent complete) so it can go on the completed stack. Outside of that, I might indulge in some
World of Tanks while testing out a couple new mice and a headset.

I’ll be putting in some more practice with
Injustice: Gods Among Us. I started playing Hawkgirl who is now my anti-Solomon Grundy, Deathstroke and Aquaman spam weapon, and I have Green Arrow and Harley Quinn as my backups. I’ll probably be playing some more
Zombie Tycoon 2, which is a really fun real-time strategy for consoles. I have never been a fan of RTS because, for me, it’s usually clicking a bunch of boxes that fill your screen and I have no idea what is going on.
Zombie Tycoon 2 simplifies all that, and what you have is a very fun and addicting game. Finally, I am about two years late to the party but I actually picked up and started playing
Dragon Age 2 which I really enjoy. Now, I never played the first game. Why does everyone hate
Dragon Age 2 again? Doesn't seem like anything is wrong with it to me.

I'll be spending some relaxing time on
Far Cry 3’s Rook Island, stabbing dudes, getting inked, and popping hallucinogenic substances. Other items on my to-do list include more
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, and spending some quality time with
System Shock 2.

I'm in full-on review mode for
Zeno Clash II, so I'll be exploring the world of Zenozoik for the most part. I'm also wrapping up my reviews for all the cool tech Nyko released for the Wii U, so I'll be revisiting my modest Wii U library for some final testing.

Along with Mike, you can make that two for
Metro: Last Light. I love this franchise so much. And Mike, the second one is just as lovely. I have a preview build on the debug Xbox 360 with the first couple of hours of the game on it. You're in for a treat.

I plan to spend some quality time with
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and hopefully set some time aside for playing the recently-released
Neverwinter with John.

Another week a bunch more
MechWarrior Online to play. I've gone whole hog with a long-range missile boat build and I'm working on tweaking it so that I can safely deliver the "rain of pain" from a distance without taking any direct fire.

One of two things is about to happen. Either 1) I square away my
EVE Online account and start turning Gaming Nexus into gameEVE nexONLINEus as far as coverage is concerned--
John loves this idea--or 2) I flip through my recent shopping spree of Xbox Indie Games and start bashing them into my face one at a time:
Snops Attack! Zombie Defense,
qrth-phyl,
Kodu Game Lab,
radiangames Fluid,
Arcadecraft, and
Quiet, Please! I somehow managed to avoid the top 20 most downloaded, all of which have the word "miner" in the title.

I'll be playing
Metro: Last Light.
Metro 2033 is one of my favorite shooters of this generation, so I can't wait to dig into 4A's sequel, especially since they have creative license to deviate from the book's story now. Other than that, I'll be putting more time into
Injustice: Gods Among Us and
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
