We won’t have our regular session this week because of GDC, and we may well miss next week as well, because of PAX East. So I wanted to take that time to open the floor for suggestions: what games do people feel like playing? Any old favorites we should return to, any new games that we can get a quorum for?
For reference purposes, here’s the list of what we’ve played in previous sessions.
Video Games and Human Values Initiative 
It’s been several month since our last singleplayer night. And it’s been a while since we’ve done arcade mayhem, so maybe Worms 2 and/or Bomberman?
Also, I’ve seen a few mentions of Skate 3 recently that remind me that I should give it a try. Is there anybody experienced enough in that to be able to guide us in a multiplayer session?
I’d love to play Bomberman again, and I’m always up for Worms.
For a single player title, how about Oblivion, as a way of saluting the run-up to Skyrim, and of providing a contrast to BioWare fever for Dragon Age II and Mass Effect 3?
Yeah, Oblivion makes a lot of sense to me, too.
I’m looking at my shelf for single-player titles. Ico? Shadow of the Colossus? Okami? If we want to go a little weirder: Katamari Damacy? An Infocom game?
How about a try at Portal? In excitement for Portal 2’s release next month?
Or, and just throwing it out there, KOTOR? Or KOTOR II with the restored content mod?
We did Portal about half a year ago (and it didn’t go well, but that was my fault, not the game’s fault), and KOTOR about a year ago (which did go quite well, I seem to recall). I could imagine KOTOR II working well, we’ve had good luck with RPGs.
Actually, that reminds me: any other Jade Empire fans out there? Hmm…
