What are you playing: Detective Demon Hunter
by Xav de Matos, May 21, 2011 12:00pm PDTThere's a running theme through most of the picks this week: detectives and demon hunters. From new titles like L.A. Noire and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings to an old favorite like Demon's Souls, this week justice is being served (possibly by someone playing Diner Dash).

- Garnett Lee: I’ll be playing E3 planning and preview embargo scheduling but when time allows I’ll probably hop back on some Brink, Gatling Gears, Demon’s Souls, and who knows what else.
- Xav de Matos: Wrapping up L.A. Noire for review and probably getting in some quality time with Deus Ex: Human Revolution and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
- Alice O'Connor: With the world ending on Saturday, I'll be drinking in a public place wearing a white bedsheet. Should Sunday somehow dawn, I'll have a lot of witcher's work to catch up on, not to mention a whole floating city to liberate/oppress.
- Jeff Mattas: Witcher 2. L.A. Noire. Witcher 2. L.A. Noire. Witcher 2. L.A. Noire. Witcher 2. L.A. Noire.
- Steve Watts: It's going to be a busy weekend with non-gaming commitments, but I'll be trying to squeeze in some L.A. Noire. I've restricted myself to one case per day to watch it like a TV show, so it shouldn't be too hard to find time.
- Ozzie Mejia: Playing bits of Pokemon Black here and there, unless I get my hands on L.A. Noire. I think this is also a good weekend for me to plow through the XBLA backlog.

We're tossing knives at demons and stomping down criminal enterprises left and right this weekend in another installment of "What are you Playing." Speaking of which, what are YOU playing?

It has been kinda funny that over the weekend so far, me and my friends went to see the newest Pirates of the Caribbean movie and then check out L.A. Noire, always same guy playing and others just watching and most giving their opinions on when interviewing / checking their story with the case, and of course with finding evidences also, been suprisingly fun just to watch it, setting is done great and just game pulls you in very well and overall just well done, and of course very nice the facial capture so of course you can try figure out if they are lying or not, and been few times (specially yesterday) going 'oh i've seen this actor / know what (s)he's from maybe or know that seen him/her somewhere but don't know the name :P don't remember on what case he/we where at but kuddos to Rockstar on this game, wouldn't be surprised if it would win at any real game awards.
So long time that I've played i think no games so far (though gonna check into DoW2: Retribution multiplayer now)
