Weekend Confirmed 86 - Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, Saints Row the Third
by Garnett Lee, Nov 11, 2011 11:11am PSTThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3 arrived this week and the Weekend Confirmed crew takes a little break from playing them to share their stories from the games. Wouldn't you know, a cold bug seems to be sweeping through the offices as well, laying out Xav and sapping Garnett. He carries on, though, joined by Jeff and Christian because the show must go on. And boy does it. Saints Row the Third also got into the mix of what we've been playing and we take a look at whether it's odd to play portable games from the comforts of our couch and what we learned about Mass Effect 3 from the beta that briefly leaked out on Live. As always, we wrap it all up with Finishing Moves and our football Tailgate.

Perhaps this kind of Kinect integration will appeal to the casual market who picked up a Kinect last holiday, and want to try a more traditional "hardcore" game. It certainly makes the controller less daunting when you don't have to worry about keeping track of as many buttons. I'd be curious to know if anyone has any experiences along these lines.

If I get my brother to play the game, even though he hasn't played games in years and complains about too many buttons on modern controllers, he still has a natural ability to play them, and he'll prefer to use the buttons. If I get my sister in law to play, where despite the insane lag of it all it would still end up being beneficial to her, it won't matter because she'll either be staring straight at the ground or the sky trying to use two sticks.
