More On: Super Splatters The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
It's understandable if you didn't buy new video games this week, since a record-breaking number of you are on Amazon spending your lunch money on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One pre-orders. The Gaming Nexus staff will let you know which way they're leaning in this console showdown in an upcoming group article. Regardless, watch your wallet--can't throw a dead cat without hitting a summer video game sale somewhere.

What are you playing this weekend?

I got a tad behind with the Oracle games, but I finished up The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and got the password to use in Oracle of Ages. Hopefully I'll be able to finish that up within the next week. Beyond that, I also finally started Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D so I might play some more of that as well.

I'm reviewing Super Splatters so that's probably what I'll be playing this weekend. I enjoyed the first one but the sequel feels a lot more polished, and I'm getting a kick out of its sense of humor. I'm also doing a little retro gaming: my annual 100 percent playthough of Metroid Prime. You know how you reread your favorite book every year? It's kind of like that.

This weekend I'll hopefully have Magrunner wrapped up so I can finally focus on The Last of Us and, of course, more MechWarrior Online. I'll also attempt to make progress on my replay of Half-Life 2 which continues to be as awesome as I remember it.

I'm chronicling my adventures in EVE Online. The first entry begins with an honest appraisal of my character's cheek bones in the mirror, and ends with a Stockholm syndrome-like appreciation for my faction's coyote-ugly ship designs. If I could only play one video game for the rest of my life, this is the one I'd bring with me to the desert island.
