14 DAY TRIAL // Andrei Dumitrescu: Fate of the World is the video game that will occupy most of my gaming time this weekend, as long as I can persuade myself that some gaming can be inserted between bouts of watching Il Giro on television.
The game is a curious yet engaging mix between a card-playing game, a lesson about the future of the world we live in, and a dissertation on the futility of actually trying to influence historic trends.
I am also re-playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II with the latest restored content from the community, which can be found on the official site, where you can also download the latest release of the mod and the fixes that it needs to work best.
I am still in the early stages of the game and I'm only slowly progressing because I can remember quite a few of the situations my character is put through, and I can't wait to get deeper and see how the restored content feels and plays.
Andrei Dobra: Seeing as how there are still a few days separating us from the big releases of the month of May (L.A. Noire, The Witcher 2, Fable 3), I'll be spending this weekend with two games I overlooked in the last few weeks.
First up, I'll probably be continuing the playthrough of the first Witcher game, in order to get accustomed to the whole narrative before jumping into the second game next week.
I'm still at the midway point, as there are still lots of choices and missions to be done, not to mention quite a few lovely ladies that have yet to grace the bed of Geralt, the protagonist of the role-playing game.
When I won't be carving my destiny in the fantasy world of the first Witcher, I'll be jumping into another RPG, in the form of Gearbox Software's Borderlands.
I'm still pretty early in my first playthrough with a Siren, so there a lot of missions to be completed, weapons to be collected and Claptrap robots to be shot, all around the virtual world of Pandora.
