Stupid food. It's always interupting my video gaming. That and having to use the bathroom.

Ah, true, true.

But I thought that was part of the fun with Bethesda games, wandering around doing stuff the way you want it to then eventually fall through the floor having to restart the quest.

Seriously though, Skyrim is good

Beat Honest Hearts which was incredibly easy and Dead Money which was incredibly hard. On to:

Space Marine for a hour
Resident evil 0,4 & 5 for about 3 hours (Playing as many as i can before the new one next years)
Now Mass effect 2 for a hour now.

Lord Of The Rings : The War In the North.
Suprisigly good game, I enjoyed it very much. Althou the combat system is rather weird at times

Change-up between Dawn of War (all of them-ish) and Armored Core IV

Been playing skyrim non stop (except for school) for the past week.

Skyrim, I've set up a second tv so my gf can still watch tv while I play. Otherwise she would've probably murdered me and my game already.

Come January my PC is gonna be fought over, my gf loves The Sims 3 games, I love Skyrim, I have both for Pc. Theres gonna be blood XD.

Im playing W40K space marine on ps3 and assasins creed

theancientone2598 wrote:Im playing W40K space marine on ps3 and assasins creed

The first Assassin's Creed?

Surprised no one's playing the newest one.

I would be playing the new one if I had moneys :/

I spent all my money on BF3 and Skyrim.
:/

I also....have no money.

I haven't even bought BF3 D': I had to borrow Dead Island and Killzone 3 from my brother...other than that, I've just been replaying old games :/

I've only purchased one game this year: Space Marine...all my other free money seems to get spent on something not fun

Speaking of old games picked up UFC 2009. Why? Because it was $5!

Street Fighter 2: Championship Edition on the Megadrive

Skyrim, Arkham city and also Saints row 3. All good and good fun.

Rome: Total War, just marched 2100 romans on a Gaul town, man was that messy.......

Was playing Skyrim till it CTDed on me for no reason.

KamikazeCanuck wrote:Surprised no one's playing the newest one.

I would be playing it if it were out for PC now...

I pre-purchased it on Steam a while back, but it's not set to come out until December. For the most part, I hate buying game series across multiple consoles - I have Assassin's Creed, AC2, and Brotherhood on PC, so it stands to reason that I would play Revelations on PC.

At the moment, I'm slowly grinding my way through the side-missions of Batman: Arkham City. It was a great moment when I finished the game...and found out I had completed a whopping 40% of content.

I'm also now gloriously fighting my way through Serious Sam 3: BFE. Incredible shooter.

Switching between Skyrim and Halo: CEA, enjoying both a lot at the mo.

Halo keeps blowing my mind when I use the look at the original CE button, as it's scary to see how bland it looks ten years on thanks to the HD changes.
Even playing it about a year ago with my old Xbox, it didn't feel that bland.

I have started playing CoH Tales Of Valour again. But why I do it is lost to me, WH40k have ruined my options for strategical thinking.

Finished off Halo 3 ODST on the weekend. It's pretty good I guess. Certainly was different than every other Halo.

Skyrim

Switching off between Battlefield 3 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood now

Loving both, but Brotherhood is like AC2.5 haha...Not much of a difference...but I'm still barely in the game

Main difference is you get to have an army of Assassins.

Finished Arkham Cities Riddler Trophies and side missions, Yes im a Trophy whore. Starting up Skyrim fething such a boss of a game and im surprised because i hated Oblivion (Don't throw stones at me, Tis my weakness) and Starcraft 2 customs and the odd MW3 game with my clan buddies. Waiting for christmas to get rocksmith cause it looks sick.

I try to be a Trophy Whore...but some of them are just silly.

"Kill five enemies with an assault rifle without reloading"? Really? Feth you Killzone 2

Once I got to level 10, I stopped trophy whoring. I'd rather play a game, beat it, then when I am in between games, I'll go back. As for the moment, I am playing some Demon Souls.

Been utterly, completely, happily hooked on Dawn of War 2 and now that I've finally completed that, I'm enjoying its expansion, "Chaos Rising." I'm also quite pleased to see that they found some neat ways to make Chaos Rising feel new and add some great stuff to the game. Loving the small changes in this.

Such a great game - wish I'd jumped into this series FAR sooner than I did (I picked it up right away at launch but took forever to play it).

PURGE THE HERETICS!!! DEATH TO THE XENOS!!

I just started playing Call of Duty 2 again, and it's just as good as I remember.

Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Finished Arkham City just now. Slightly worse than AA but still kicks ass. Wondering what to play now, maybe I'll finally finish Skyrim or Borderlands.

Since I can't play SWTOR( I tried so hard, but my computer just can't take it. ), I'm playing WoW.

Also going through my second Skyrim Playthrough. trying to finish the new Super mario( on the last Special World), and I've been doing some Mario Kart 7.

playing bf3 at the moment...

Thanks to all these delicious Steam sales I managed to get Shogun 2: Total War and all of it's DLC for less than 20 bucks. So there's that. Then there's Trine 2 which is just amazing. Everyone should play Trine and Trine 2, or just look at someone playing it it's too beautiful not to. Lasty after playing so much Skyrim I reinstalled Morrowind.

My issue with Trine 2 (and Magicka: the stars are left) is both set off my Arachnophobia heavily.

Red Faction Guarilla and.... SKYRIM

My friend let me borrow MW3...and I couldn't be more disappointed with the multiplayer

The campaign isn't that bad though.

The numbers, the numbers! Beat CoD: Black Ops. Enjoyed the Vietnam stuff but it just gets crazy at the end.

Well, I'm playing saints row 3, and I'm all like >:I

World of tanks (M4 Sherman, and M36 Slugger), and World of Warcraft

I'm playing Skyrim, and will soon be asking it to join my wife and I in a polygamous marriage that will inevitably end with me being murdered out of jealousy while my two spouses split a hefty life insurance policy.

Wait, what?

I hear you on the multiplayer. Battlefield 3 is a pretty good replacement if you need an FPS multiplayer fix.

And eventually you'll hit Retribution and cry.

I'm playing Minecraft (cheaper than LEGO!), Red Faction Guerrilla, Dead Space (bit behind on that one...), tried to play Medal of Honour recently but just couldn't get into it. Also been playing Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Civilizations 2 every-so-often. Looking forward to Christmas and the bundle o' games that will provide. Bit handicapped by my 360 finally getting the RRoD, so until I can replace that Halo is off the table and Mass Effect 1&2 since I'm pretty happy with my choices (and DLC) and would rather not go back round for them. Will be getting Skyrim for the PC soon

I'm playing dungeons of dredmor, it's the only game my pc can run at the moment.

Thankfully it's one of my favourite games.

Just finished the Lonesome Road and have moved back to playing Skyrim.

Sid Meier's Pirates!

Space Marine!

Vanquish and Skyrim with a little bit of Reach.

Skyrim, random crap I bought on Steam and, when my hard copy arrives, Anno 2070.

I'm interested in what you think of Anno 2070.

I spent the weekend playing War in the North with a visiting friend. It's alright as far as gameplay goes and co-op was a decent amount of fun but that probably comes down more to the company than the game itself. It's pitifully short. I can't recommend that anyone buy it unless they find it for $20 or less.

Other than that, Skyrim of course although I have pretty well avoided it for a few weeks. Something about it is just very disappointing to me.

I have been wanting to re-play FFXIII but I'm not terribly excited about FFXIII-2 now that I've seen some vids and that was my primary motivation.

I've also played some of the Voltron PSN/XBL game that came out a few months ago and it is a great lark in co-op for the low price of $9.99. Anyone who is even passingly nostalgic regarding Voltron and has a similar buddy (or four) should not hesitate to pick it up.

SWToR - lvl 22 fem Zabrak Sith Assassin. Voice acting is amazing.

Know what you mean about ff13-2. Looks even worse then the first and lower production quality too. Idk final fantasy isn't what it used to be. There were a lot of cool things about 13 but it felt like one long endless hallway. The story and dialog were just so bad I couldn't keep going.

I'm thinking about playing through Arkham City again. For the fourth time.

I think I might have a problem...

That said, I did just order L.A. Noir and Skyrim.

Playing DJ Hero 2 as Deadmau5!

Amaya wrote:SWToR - lvl 22 fem Zabrak Sith Assassin. Voice acting is amazing.

At level 22, and as a Sith, you'll have heard the best line in the game. I'm going to horribly mangle it now, but here goes!

There's nothing like the sight of gassed rebels fleeing their caves into the waiting blaster fire of an Imperial battalion. Well, sunrises I guess. But for those you have to get up early.

As an aside, I've a 31 Jugger, 24 Sorcerer, 26 Merc and 11 Agent. How does the Assassin play, as I'm thinking of trying a Jedi Consular.

What's dissappointed you about Skyrim?

I'll play FFXIII 2 because I like the paradigm system they've come up with but I can't say I'm excited about it. I think it will be a better game though.

On Skyrim: For me I appreciate the mastery of the creation of a game like this but I'm not sure I'm actually having the much fun. In fact I put in Pirates! for a break and then forgot to sleep. Somehow that sucked me in more. Though I could make the same comment about Oblivion.

Was playing Gears, switched to Skyrim and ripped it apart, now I'm back to Gears...

DoW II Retribution

Yes, I understand that, but the cliffhangers in those games are brutal and barely clear up anything. Gah, drives me crazy haha.

Replaying Mass Effect 2 at the moment.

I'm all about Prototype at the moment. Really exciting and action packed game. I'm not sure I've ever played a better action game.

I also have a bunch of games on the back burner; Skyrim, Batman, Magic The Gathering, Shogun 2 Total War, Spacemarine. Too many games to choose from.

Dawn of War II Retribution - Last Stand mod. Really enjoy It.

Aye, have a charcater in ME1 that needs finishing and doing through ME2, and another whos halfway through ME2 to finish.

Will mean I have four characters to choose from when ME3 launches. Well, three, there no doubt that dear old Leith will go frst once it is released.

Time to find out if the relationship system will reward folks for staying with one person through all three games.

I had a good laugh at that line as well.

I have a 25 sorc who is now my crafting slave and a 16 commando who is insanely fun to play.

im playing ignore the teacher and dont to my classwork

Skyrim still, though that appears to be slowing down finally.

Dynasty Warriors Gundam: 3, because I like mecha, I like Dynasty Warriors, and I like being able to space out to a simple game from time to time.

I got a whole raft of games for Christmas this year (Dead Island, Saints Row 3, Killzone 3, Prince of Persia HD Trilogy, Valkyria Chronicles, Mount and Blade: Warbands, Gundam: Crossfire and Front Mission Evolved), so I've got options now.

Space marine! Almost beat wave 21 last night in Exterminatus. It was epic: I picked out the lascannon class accidentally for my Dev class, and yet got through half of wave 21 alone because my teammates died.

Right now i am on dakka dakka,,,, LOL


but Ive mostly been playing Garry's Mod as of late.

I guess I've beaten Pirates! I've done pretty much all you can do and there's so much stuff to do. Apparently, there's been like a dozen versions of this game so should clarify its the original Xbox one which is now downloadable. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to do some swashbuckling!

Compared to the actual game it's not very good, it's like going from an art gallery to a school art class.

No, wait stop laughing.

Once you get past the cutsy intro bit and the fact it was dreamt up for kiddies, it's actually quite fun.

Probably helps I'm raising a secret team to challenge my sons out of the blue, but regardless, I'm finding it a bit of a laugh.

Over the top, with a few jokes I know my kids wouldn't get, but I chuckled. Bit disney ish I suppose.

2. When Robin makes his brief cameo, he's Cartoon Robin, which is a nice touch!

Space Marine for the Xbox 360. Emperor help me, I love this game!

Europa Universalis 3, nuff' said

Saints Row the Third has been taking up most of my time this week. Loving the silly things they have expanded on.

Only been playing around 12hours so far, but have a Bear and a challenger in my garage after nabbing them from law enforcement, so in effect now playing the game in easy mode.


Also been doing a bit of the Lunar Festival in WoW, but only because they have new pets for it. A lantern for each faction. My Alliance main got hers last night, and now my Horde alt on my main realm is getting her the Horde one as well. If all goes to plan she'll have 164 pets by the end of tonight.

The Old Republic.

Skyrim has finally moved to the back burner. Still playing it, but not as regularly.

Mount and Blade: Warbands is in my rotation right now, though I wish that there was a bit more to the combat. Still, my life as a mercenary of Rhodok during their war against the Sarranid Sultanate has been fun.

Tried Valkyria Chronicles, but I can't dumb myself down enough at the moment to tolerate the game's characterizations. Too many JRPG cliches were thrown at me at once within the first hour. I'll come back to it when my story expectations are lower, since the game itself seems interesting. I got Saints Row 3, but for some reason I have no interest at all in playing it. Ditto for Dead Island, though that could be because I started as the least likable player character that I've ever seen in a game (Purna, for those keeping score).

So now I'm playing Mass Effect on my Xbox 360. I got the game for Christmas a few years ago but I never really got along well with it (in retrospect, I don't think I really gave it the amount of attention that it requires), so now I'm trying it out again. I did the same thing with Dragon Age Origins, which I hated on my first attempt then fell in love with on my second, so here's hoping for a repeat of those results.

Despite so long of playing Mount and Blade, I still get annoyed with it. Why do all the kings hate me? Lose prime men storming castle, 'sorry Mr.Herpderp, I have to give it to this useless bugger who can't even seem to hold a castle, without retreating back into his own land and leaving a garrison of 12 men there'

Space Marine! Still waiting for them to drop Imperial/Crimson Fists armor sets. Downloading the dreadnought DLC as I type... EXCITED!

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo. Never heard of this game but it's pretty good. Also gives you Mass Effect 3 armor for no reason for trying it so check it out.

Been playing a lot of Saints Row 2 lately, ever since I poured nearly 70 hours into Saints Row: The Third.

Honestly, the game has made me really glad that Saints Row: The Third went more towards the campy side of things than its predecessor. Saints Row 2 is dark at times.

I got an email from them about a demo but I junk'd it as I've never heard of the game and I thought it would be crappy freeware.

Was that a bad idea?

The Kingdoms of Amalur demo was surprisingly good. It feels more game-like than a Skyrim (which at least has a small nod to realism), but the graphics are attractive, the mechanics seem solid and the world scratches my World of Warcraft itch. If I wasn't working on buying a new Necron army, I'd snatch it up when it releases.

Nope, just get on the old XBLA and download the demo. When you boot it up you get free stuff and the game's pretty good.

They stole as much as they possibly could from Skyrim and Dragon Age which isn't a bad thing.

The demo on the 360 and PS3 has some freezing issues that the developers have apologized for and swear that the demo is running on an outdated (debugged) version of the final engine. It is a fun game with lots of little hidden areas and things to do (for a demo), but just be aware of that.

I don't know about the PS3 version but I know on the 360 version you have to use up all 45 minutes of the free play time once you get to the starting town to unlock the Mass Effect exclusives so some people are getting there and just letting the clock run down so they don't tempt fate.

As for what I am playing at the moment, I got a dirt cheap copy of Final Fantasy XIV of ebay and have been messing around with it. I was in the beta and it was terrible, and since firing the team responsible and bringing a whole new group on and spending the last year revamping the game I have to say they have done a decent job of it. If this had been the game at launch it would have done much better. The in-game* cutscenes are very nice and put SWTOR's to shame, as far as the cinematic nature of them is concerned. Of course FFXI's cs's, especially the later expansions, were were well staged and engaging as well.

The character models and armor have a real feeling of dimension and weight. Different types of cloth and leather have a sense of thickness and pattern, heavy armors look like they are resting on the model. It is actually a very low key aesthetic that works very well for the game. The classes are interesting as is the ability to choose abilities from other jobs to create a hodgepodge of skills to play how you like to some degree, and the crafting, which is a big part of the game isn't to bad, though like anything if you level it solely through grinding can get a little dull. I like that you don't have to buy spells but that they grow with the mage. For example a Conjurer gets Stone at level 1. Instead of having to later get Stone II, Stone III, ect the power of the spell just grows with the player, as does it's mp cost. You don't spend time and money upgrading spells or having to camp scrolls. The main problem I have had so far is that the community, not surprisingly, is quite small. OTOH it is a tight nit group that is generally very helpful.

I'll probably keep messing around with it becuase I would like to see the cs's and story before they release Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 later this year in which the game story will be completely changed. There will be events that the players will be involved with that herald the coming 'destruction' of the world which could be interesting. Some items will only be available pre-2.0, like a gobbue mount that 'legacy' players will get to carry over. I don't know if the new classes (Paladin, Monk, ect) will be implemented before or after 2.0, but everyone is looking forward to that.



There is still a good amount of work to do before 2.0 as there is still a bit of UI lag, and a glitch here and there, but overall it is very playable, and if one is so inclined can be fun.

It is also full of puns and word play. On of the the Blacksmith quests that has you making saws or axe heads was called "Get to the Chopper", and the new Ifrit fight is called "Ifrit bleeds, we Can Kill It".

Got my ME3 content when booting it up. Maybe there's more afterwards....

I did as well, but everything I read said you also get something for doing the whole 45 minutes. Must look into it more.

I didn't run out the clock. It was getting late...there's no save function....damn it I don't want to that all again. Let me know what you find out.

How to get items.

Apparently when the ME3 demo comes out it will have unlocks for KoA:R as well, including Shepard's armor.

I probably should have put the FFXIV spiel in a separate thread as it seems a bit to long for this one.

Aw, you actually get a gun....sigh, looks like I'm playing it again.

Gonna try the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo seeing as there has been a fair bit of a buzz about it, plus I want the ME3 stuff XD

Was that a bad idea?

Nope, just get on the old XBLA and download the demo. When you boot it up you get free stuff and the game's pretty good.

I pretty much exclusively use the pc

I started playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution

It's fething amazing.

Well Amalur is on PC too, get the demo from Steam or something. It controls quite well on a computer and seems like a fun game.

No excuses. Just get it done.

Just beat MW3. The campaign only picks up when you get into the juggernaut suits, and then it's over.


But God Of War 3 is pure awesome. About halfway through it.

I've been playing Anno 2070.

It's my first foray into an Anno game, but I was enticed hearing people on guild chat discuss it whilst playing a co-op continuous game.

Tried my first game with 3 of them, and it was a blast. Two of them made high tech, compact cities full of executives, one sorta did that but got the balance wrong and so bled money, and then there was my city.

A massive, sprawling slums filled with basic workers being taxed to the maximum, and producing massive amounts of early game goods to sell in huge trades. It also became the center production for our war fleet when we were invaded by some Keto woman. I managed to amuse my co-op players by the method in which I prevented the spread of crime, bulldozing all the houses around those affected, and replacing them with police stations.

That sounds pretty cool...

The games that are currently occupying most of my time (in order):

Soul Calibur V: If you're a fan of the series, I highly recommend picking it up. While there's a sadly small amount of things to do by yourself, it's an incredibly fun game.

World of Warcraft: Got back into it a few months ago, started tanking on my Paladin again. Bad idea. Lots of time, gone.

Assassin's Creed II: Yeah, I'm just playing it now. Enjoying the heck out of it.

I haven't played any of them in a while now, but Skyrim, Saints Row: The Third, the Kingdoms of Amalur demo (saw some people talking about it), and Space Marine are all on my "recently played and greatly enjoyed" list.

I'm playing Dark Souls right now but damn this game makes me rage like a crackhead denied his daily fix

I played some Starcraft 2 recently. It's fairly decent, actually. Muted the sound and cranked some KMFDM and wow, that was an experience. I still find dawn of war soul storm and dawn of war 2 retribution to be quite enjoyable. Looking forward to Dow 3.

Gonna sink into some more skyrim soon, and that will eliminate quite a bit of time I reckon.

disgaea 4 is all I'm playing right now.

World of Warcraft
Skyrim
World of Tanks

After a speed bump with the WoW guild last week, nothing serious just some minor drama and a guild quit by one of our officers, I'm back playing again.

Been partially/barely active for a while, so thought as an Officer it was time to show my face. Started trying to collect up the remaining three archeology pets, got two so far, just need the blasted claw from Uldum.

Sitting on 166 pets atm, puts me fourth on my server according to Warcraft pets. Only three behind the leader.


Other than WoW, I'm also playing Saints 3 still, a bit of Sims 3 and Skyrim.

I'm hooked to SC2 like nobody's business now.

Starcraft 2 has also become my main game as of late. All the awesome GSL (http://www.gomtv.net/) action makes me want to play it even more. I've actually got some pretty sly Protoss tactics to use against each race.

Anno sounds like a cool game, I think I'll have to give it a try.

SC 5 came out?!?!?! Where have I been?!?!

On topic: I am trying to speed run DA2.

I would be playing Gears of War 3 but the wife has hijacked the PS3 so she can play Skyrim. (Could be worse, at least my wife plays video games!)

Got a cheap CRT TV off Craigslist for $10. Hooked my SNES up with my X12s. Gonna Start playing FF6.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy 13
League of Legends
Star Wars: The Old Republic

Games I want to play but don't have time:
Mass Effect 1 & 2
Oddworld: Strangers Wrath
Oblivion/Skyrim (The less I play these the better XD)
Anything else that is in my Steam library

Trying to get the infinite rocket launcher in RE5.

Hopping between Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption.

Finished watching Hell on Wheels and finally picked up RDR.

I accidentally stumbled across an X-COM: UFO Defense LP two days ago. I ended up reinstalling the game. I've been playing for three months in-game time, on Superhuman because I'm apparently a masochist.

I have ten living soldiers and thirty-odd dead ones, laser rifles and/or high explosives for everyone, power armor being researched right now. I've had two base assaults; the first was Floaters and I killed them all pretty handily, but the second consisted of approximately a million Sectoids and Cyberdisks storming my starting base in Europe and butchering everyone with plasma and mind-control. The whole place was on fire by the end, and the last survivor went berserk and committed suicide by rocket launcher. Now I'm down to a small base with a single radar installation, one Interceptor and my Skyranger in South America (got it out just in time when I saw the Sectoid battleship coming for me).

I love this game so much.

Star Trek Online, and World of Tanks mostly. If you see Doctadeth IG, say hello.

Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012.

EvE online, endlessly.

Warhammer 40k dawn of war 1 (all the expansions)
and SWTOR- sith on terentatek

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Jagged Alliance: Back in action

That would be all right now.

How is Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning ? I'm thinking of picking it up once my backlog is beat and I can get it at a decent price. I'll probably play Mass Effect 3 a dozen times as well.

I love it, finished the main quest and faction quest lines yesterday at around 40 hour on the clock. Now just gonna test builds and get mah achievements.

Assassins creed revelations.

YEH.

I'm still going between Deus Ex: Human Revelution and Battlefield 3

I was eye-balling Assassins Creed: Revelations for my next game to play though

Round there. For me and a lot of its fans there's a big nostalgia factor of course. Hope it holds up for you.

Alright. I will keep at it. Thanks for the info.

I went back to Mass Effect 2, to finish my 2nd playthrough I started months ago. Getting ready for Part 3

Wolfun wrote:Marvel vs Capcom 3, Naruto:Ninja Storm 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

ME too,
BF3, a bit of MW2 and BO and some TF2 XD

I got Speedball 2 Evolution off of the Mini Market last night. I am a bit undecided as to whether I like it or not. It has some of the original features but they have tweaked about with it, I guess, to update it for todays market, but it's lost a lot of what made it good.

It's more brutal than before, with more bundling going on, but it's definitely a slower game. I think they have tried to make it more realistic.

I did get really excited when the vendor in the crowd shouted 'ICECREAM, ICECREAM'

Just started a replay of Dragon Age: Origins. City elf has a pretty cool opening. The time of the dual-wielding warrior is at hand.

DARKNESS II!!!!!!!

Back in WoW in a big way atm, grinding for some of the last few pets I can get outside of Holiday events. Trying to get to the top of the pile for my realm on Warcraft pets atm.

Also begun to run PVP guild events last couple of nights, we're casual, but trying to get some regular monthly activities going again since its gone a bit quiet with Cata fatigue taking its toll.

At least we got the guild to rank 25 long before that started to happen. Although we are getting about fifty loggers a week, so nothing to worry about yet.

Also doing odd things like earning the new love mount for the valentines day event, and realising it is identical to the rare Mazzeranche in Mulgore, quick flight to Mulgore, and breaking out my Mulgore hatchling (also identical but tiny) and my Hunter is riding around Stormwind on a family of 'Chocobos' seemed to make a number of folks laugh.


Other than that, mainly playing Saints 3 when I get five mins, also trying to finish insanity on Mass Effect 2, not to bad so far, done about three missions.
Although I'm dreading Jack's prison escape level mind, anything involving Collector ships, oh and both Boss fights in Shadow of the Broker. I'll do my best to get it done before ME3 though.

"Beat" Magic 2012 so to speak. Arch Enemy mode is pretty cool.

I finished Mass Effect 1 this weekend. It was a great game in just about every way (except the Mako and Thresher Maws. Those were both decidedly less great), and the presentation of the story was truly excellent. I rolled right on into Mass Effect 2 yesterday afternoon. I expect that will consume most of my free time for the next couple of weeks.

Still poking at Kingdoms of Amalur, but the luster wore off on that game surprisingly quickly. It's not bad, but it gets very repetitive after a while. Combine that with a painfully mediocre storyline and you have a recipe for dedicated shelfware.

Otherwise, I'm on-again/off-again with Star Trek Online. I used to play the game at launch, and I wanted to see how it had changed since going F2P. It's definitely better, though I feel a complete lack of direction in my character's progression. Still, as a Free to Play MMO it satisfies my requirement for a game that's easy to pick up and put down when I have 30 minutes or so to kill. Which won't happen much for a while, thanks to Mass Effect 2.

Runes of Magic, actually. It's pretty good. Raises the FTP MMORPG bar IMO.

Oh, and assorted Xbox games (COD, BF, AC etc.)

I WAS playing Path of Exile. It's Diablo, with bartering basically. Meh. Other than that I've been playing a lot of Dawn of War 2 and BF3 until Mass Effect comes out, as I've already got my saves about where I want them on the PC version.

Skyrim and KoA:Reckoning on and off. ME3 is going to absorb my life next week.

Still popping on to WoW when I can, but playing The Sims 3 a bit as well, trying to tie down the last few achievements before shifting myself to the pets one.

Also stilll attempting my Insanity ME2 play through, but I can't see me getting it done before ME3 launches, so I've been wavering on it.
Mainly as I already have two complete saves for ME1/ME2 characters, so both of them will be keeping me busy for months to come. Its something I could try and finish off later in the year.

Just trying to finish off god damn endless Skyrim before ME3 comes out.

Dante's Inferno.

Carnal Tower is a funny place.

Dark Souls, man this is a fun game, cant believe I passed up on it when it got released. I've never died so much in a game, but its very rewarding.

Mass Effect 3!!!

I got XBL again! Yay!
Now I'm playing Reach again, and it's just as good as it always will be.....

Not to mention I'm also playing Starcraft II.

Beat ME3. Ending's fine with me btw. Still have a ton other games to play but the whole Skyrim, Mass Effect thing was a lot of work. I should probably take a break and read a book or something....

Duels of the Planeswalkers (2009)

Manchu wrote:Duels of the Planeswalkers (2009)

I like that one. You can't make your own decks but I actually think it's the best version of Magic for that very reason.

Paying Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, its nice but annoying how I have spent over 150k credits and got 1 character unlocked! They aren't getting me to buy Bio points, I want to get ME1/2 DLC with em.

Deus Ex HR, just started the game heard a lot of good things.

Tribes Ascend, fun even though I suck at it.

A combination of Pokemon: Soul-Silver, Gotham City Impostors, and Osmos.

During break at school, at home and in the car respectively.

Presently I am playing call of gods by lekool which I installed in my chrome apps from chrome web store.

I'd describe it as Magic meets Street Fighter. The decks are set so they each have their own character and personality. Whereas real Magic is about making a super-deck and then a counter-super-deck and then a counter-counter-super-deck and so on.

If you're wondering what's in Magic 2010: new decks obviously, but a 3 vs 1 mode called Arch Enemy where one of the players is like a supervillian and has all kinds of crazy powers and the rest must band together to stop his evilness. It's pretty fun.

El Shadai,
Sacred 2 Fallen angel,
Kingdom rush (Ipad).


S.

ME3, Skyrim, crysis 2 (a bit), unreal tormament 3 (old, but pretty good) and sometimes bulletstorm.

Timesplitters Future perfect.


I hope they make a fourth.

Just started replaying Fire Emblem 6,7, and 8 for the millionth time. It saddens me that good ole SRPG's are exclusive to handhelds these days. I don't want a stupid Vita or 3DS to play Tactics Ogre, Valkyria Chronicles, and the rest!

A game for evey conceivable scenario, I like it.

Playing a lot of Sims 3 (the actual PC version atm, after filling a town up of book, videogame and Tabletop characters to interact with) ME3 Multiplayer, a bit of WoW and some occasional stints on Star Wars Battlefront on the PS2.

So true.
Still have FE 6 and Knights in the Nightmare on the backburner myself.
I unearthed Bomberman Tournament and started a new play just out of nostalgia... Playing with bros was a total blast (pun completely intended).

Oh, and I fell into a trap and started Chaos Rising's campaign yesterday ; it's not often that I play for hours straight. Glad to see the improved options for Terminators, love the Librarian but his system of limitation by accessories is frustrating.

KIngdom Rush free on the interweb. Great tower defense game.

Having blown through Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 in the space of a month, I have a Commander Shepard shaped hole in my video game stable right now. I've dabbled in Skyrim a bit once again, starting over with another version of my main (Nord Two-Handed Warrior). I keep picking at Amalur, but I think I'll be trading it in tonight towards a copy of Witcher 2 (which drops for 360 next month). Otherwise, I've been doing a lot more tabletop gaming than I have video gaming.

Pulled a swerve on myself and finally started Saints Row the Third last night. I can see this game eating a lot of my free time.

Mgs HD collection. Beat Mgs2 recently, gonna replay Snake Eater for chevo's and then 2 again
Skyrim again, made a roleplay character and im gonna stick with it soon (eating meals, sleeping at inns at night, wearing clothes unless in combat, etc)

Also, I bought Crysis, and its so short its dissapointing. Grsphics are amazing, game was done way too fast. However, I was on easy so Im gonna replay on Delta soon

Currently Halflife 2 (again) but previous to my laptop being stolen a whole gakton of Football Manager 2012 and Sonic The Hedgehog via a Megadrive Rom.....

Tribes: ascend
Terraria

Man, just when I thought I could wipe Fable 3 from my mind. I don't think my wife will ever forgive me for asking for that game for my birthday. She spent the first three hours of gameplay asking me what happened, and how they could mess up her favorite game series.

I'm playing all the Zelda games in reverse-order since my PS3 crapped out on me. It's been a pretty good time so far haha.

BF3, considering I got it with my brand spanking new computer from Newegg. Normally hate these kinds of games but it seemed a good game to test the computer out on.

After that, not sure.

Arma 2 Day Z mod. Its is a open world zombie apocalypse game. If you have arma 2 you owe it to yourself to try it....if you can find a server with an open slot.

The mod is blowing up to the point where its hard to find a slot. There is over 10 or more 50+ player full most of the time.

You can find games at night time due to the mod having a real day night cycle. Night time is much harder due to it being dark out.

The real fun of this mod isn't the zombies, its the player that hunt humans for their gear.

The way it works is you get one life and start with a pistol and a can of beans and water bottle, and have to forage for ammo, guns, food, water ,and other gear. If you die you lose all your stuff and have to start over. The map itself is huge and cars and other vehicles are scarce and mostly out of gas, so it becomes a lot of fun to work together with people to get vehicles fixed and fueled. Also there is groups of players that form deathsquads and bandit groups that go around sticking players up for their gear.

Beat Halo Wars. "Meh" on that whole game.
Guess I'll go back to Skyrim for a bit. I just want to learn how to make armour out of my dragon bone stash.

Through it already because it's being done episodically. I really liked it actually. Probably the most realistic zombie apocalypse game out there. More roleplaying and less just mowing down thousands of zombies.

GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony. 'Tis awesome.

Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga/Picking at AC2. My favorite game of the series.

Battlefield 3 for the multiplayer
Borderlands at LANs
Assassins Creed: Brotherhood then Revelations
Mirrors Edge on the side bar

Just finished Crysis 2

A little known title from a little known series: Modern Warfare 3 of Call of Duty. Look it up.

Path of Exile.

Max Payne 3 : Good god this game reeks

A combination of Skyrim, MW3, and Ghost In the Shell: SAC.

Oh, and Front Mission Evolved.

Does this happen to be the one for the PSP or is there a more up to date one?? The PSP version is horrible i think.

Nah, It's the one for PS2. Not terrible, but the game mechanics are a tad rough.

I cracked and resubbed to Warcraft for a month.
Dam you scroll of resurrection

I have decided to play through the Dragon Age games again since I lost my saves and there have been presentations about Dragon Age 3 and discussions about the way loot will work in it (which i liked, gear for party members is back). So I have to recreate my save games now.

Diablo 3. Just finished my monk on normal... now to level the other 4 up so i can clear some space in the storage box.

Baldur's Gate II. That game is so fething epic, and the entire time it's like "oh man they're gonna fix that in the new version".

+ new quests and characters, new art and music. Cant wait for it to be released (was it mid June?) though I doubt it would be as fun as it was when I first played the game.
Now they only need to revisit HoM&M III and Quake III Arena and I can die happy.

Starcraft.
Not starcraft 2, the first one.
I remember it being a lot harder when I was a kid... in 2 days I already beat 8 missions of the zerg campaign (I skipped the terran campaign; already did it ages ago)

I dug out Saint's Row 3 again. Only played it to, like, 30% completion back then - but apparently it's 10 times more fun if you do it in co-op.

I'm a bit torn about its wackiness (and I wish that there were more sliders for body customization), but undoubtedly there are some insanely cool moments to be had.



Other than that, I'm frequently rocking multiplayer as a sniper in ME3 and have plans for either Diablo 3 or TOR on the weekend - I've got a full group for campaign play in either.

Nothing because D3 was terrible. Probably going to try out MechWarrior living legends tonight.

Playing a bit of D3, WoW and CoX mostly at the moment, but not a great deal. Been painting and modelling a lot the past week or so.

Really need to get back on Mass Effect 3 and finish it with my main character before they patch the ending.

Im hooked on Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time on 3DS. Such a nice overhaul. And as always, its a fantastic zelda game. So far the only one Ive played and didnt really care for (and Ive played them all since the NES days) is the Skyward sword on Wii. The weird motion control setup was just....well, weird. Didnt care for that one

Beat MW3 on the weekend. It was ok I guess. Often I think the CoD series gets unfaily criticised for being too repetative. I think they they actually do inovate a lot and with different "set pieces". For example you'll be a mortorman in this scene or a tank driver in this one or a spectre gunship gunner in this one (I love being in a spectre, I could play a whole game of that) but this time they really did nothing different in the campaign. There was some fun moments but like Bioshock 2 and Fallout New Vegas it suffers from that syndrome where a new developer doesn't want to do anything different from the guys who made the brand big. Better to be called repetitive than actually change something and have it go south.
Don't know if I'll be able to finish spec ops, the random people online....are not that good. I'm not awesome or anything but I can at least not die every 5 seconds.

Anyways, storywise pretty anticlimatic actually. I think if America was actually invaded by Russia the US would go completely ape$#!+ and drive all the way to Moscow. Not just get them off American soil and then go "Meh, good eneough".

Gotham City Imposters for my Team deathmatch fix and Blood Bowl on the 360. I am very late into the Blood Bowl.......still learning and getting my head kicked in....lol.

TRIBES: Ascend

I liked the previous TRIBES games and this one was Free to Play so it was pretty much a no brainer for me to try it out.

Had me entertained for at least a month.

I finally got around to playing Legend of Grimrock...feels good man.

I'm also still working on my Fire Emblem marathon, I'm practically playing the entire series, so only like 8 more games to go

Lastly, I decided to try Aion since its F2P now and ever since the Guild Wars 2 beta I need an MMO to hold me over till GW2 proper comes out. And once that's released it's game over for pretty much all my other games.

Playing Regularly
World Of Tanks
Urban Dead
Tribes Ascend
UFO AI

Occasionally
Batman AA, AC
Medieval 2 Tw
Empire TW
Skyrim

I am pushing sandrakers of my world.
FOR THE GREAT EAGLE!!!

DayZ (possibly the best game ostensibly about zombies ever made).

I am also playing a bit of TF2 and World of Tanks.

Mechcommander 2. Hell yeah.

To think I almost let Skyrim slip under my radar.
Damn, it's got everything I craved for in a game.

Just downloaded the Porsche pack for Forza 4 so Im working on that on the 360. Also playing Sonic Generations on the PS3

Probably some more new vegas.

Back to:

Star Craft 2: StarBattle



Civilisation IV: Fall of Heaven 2 mod

Vassal40k

.....they got star craft in space and Civ with dragons now? Damn I need a new PC.
