Weekend gaming

With the Big Freeze (TM) in full force in the UK how was your gaming weekend? Stuck inside with a cuppa and a copy of the derivative but rather enjoyable Darksiders? Still fighting in Modern Warfare 2? Or maybe you're stuck on Zelda Spirit Tracks? The latter was certainly me anyway. As well as ploughing on with Zelda I've been spending time with Capcom's Dark Void on Xbox 360. The jet pack shooter - sadly not the real jetpacks I used to think we'd have by 2010 - is a bit of a missed opportunity. The thought of a game based on jet pack combat sounds promising - sadly too much of Dark Void feels like a sub-par Gears of War complete with frustrating in-flight controls and murky visuals. My review will be live later this week but you can always try the demo in the meantime - its on Live and PSN now - and see if you can guess the score.

Anyway, how was your gaming weekend?
