This week saw the release of two highly anticipated games,Portal 2andMortal Kombat. You would think that as a fighting game aficionado, I’d be all over pulling Fatalities, but I’ve actually never been a fan of theMortal Kombatfighting system. I have heardgood thingsfrom many people though, so I’ll definitely have to check it out.
However, I’m really excited to playPortal 2. I have a confession to make. I’ve never been a PC gamer and as such, I just beat the firstPortalgame last week. It was an amazing experience, and I can’t wait to see what the second iteration has in store (Spoiler alert: a little birdie told me itsawesome.) I did have a chance to play some of the co-op with my roommate! So much fun!
This week in Friday Night Fights, the Dtoid community has chosen to enjoy this weeks releases, by playingMortal KombatandSOCOM 4, along with a few old classic FNF games. For a full list of the games and community hosts, check out below. FINISH HIM!
New to FNF? Read this: Each week, a bunch of Destructoid readers and usually an editor or two get together to play some videogames online. Basically, this is what Friday Night Fights are all about.
The planning for FNF takes placein the forums, where community members volunteer to host by posting their information (gamertag, time to meet up, game, etc.) in the forum post corresponding to the system they’re interested in playing on.
Then, every Friday, reminder posts for those who don’t read the forums regularly go up in thecommunity blogssection all thanks to a dedicated group of cool individuals. And for everyone who wants their info all in one place, they have got my weekly recap posts to look forward to between 4:30 – 5:30 PM EST.
Now that you’re here, just scan the list below and find a game you want to play. All that’s left to do after that is to join the match by contacting the host below using any means necessary. For Wii, you might have to be a little creative, but for 360/PS3 a simple “invite me” message will be fine.
The names on the left are our Destructoid handles, while the ones on the right are our online handles (PSN IDs, for example). Don’t see a game you want to play? Feel free to post a comment offering to take up hosting duties yourself.
