What are you playing: Calm Before the Storm
Just because E3 2011 kicks off on Monday, that doesn't mean we can't get in some gaming time. Actually, it probably means we shouldn't, but who cares?! There are so many quality titles our there, we need to get some gaming in. Here's what we're playing.

Here's what Team Shack is up to this weekend. Think of it as the "calm before the storm." What are you up to this weekend, Shackers?

- Garnett Lee: I’ll be playing last push to E3 prep with organization of the Shacknews attack plan for next week but, should time allow, I’m close to finishing up my XBLA playthrough of Torchlight.
- Xav de Matos: This weekend I'll be making beautiful music with Child of Eden and saving all the ladies of the world in The Witcher 2.
- Andrew Yoon: I just purchased the Rockstar Pass for LA Noire, and I can't wait to jump back into Cole's shoes.
- Alice O'Connor: I'm off to a double-bill of Double Indemnity and The Big Sleep--not inspired by L.A. Noire, just because. I've got a fancy new Android phone so any gaming this weekend will be on that, out in the sunshine before E3 has me locked indoors for a week. So far, Game Dev Story is proving hugely distracting and wonderful.
- Jeff Mattas: I’ll be finishing up L.A. Noire this weekend (including the current DLC), but I’ll probably spend most of my game time Witchering my head off.
- Steve Watts: I'll continue digging into LA Noire, but other than that I'm stumped. I have games in my backlog but I don't really want to start any of them with the coming tidal wave of games and gaming news. That probably just means I'll play lots and lots of Plants vs Zombies.
- Ozzie Mejia: Towing the line between good and evil in Infamous 2.

Since all of the conferences are being streamed, we're not going to live blog them. However, Garnett will live-tweet stuff using the Shacknews twitter account. As for the news, Shacknews has a group of people writing all of the news as it happens. We're not going to worry about letting you know how bad the person sitting next to us is and how loud things get... we're focusing on writing stories about the things you actually care about.

I'm not a huge racing fan, but this title intrigued me.

Dirt 3 is all I've been playing recently. I skip the Gymkhanna levels (or put the difficulty on Easy and placing 3rd to get some points) - doing those tricks with a keyboard is ridiculously hard.
The problem with Dirt is that the load times are incredibly long. I spend almost as much time waiting to race as I do actually racing.

Started Infamous. Is it more better to go the good or evil route? I don't care one way or another about the implications, I just want to have the best abilities at my disposal for maximum fun.
Also, the framerate in this game blows. Really notice it when you get to the edge of the map and it's super smooth for a few seconds. Cripes. The facial animations are hilariously bad too. Reminds me of the Canadians on South Park. -
Hunted:Demons Forge and Dirt 3 both PC

IMO, the game loses nothing going back for the doodads. Even the speed runs are kinda fun.
