Which Game Are You Currently Playing?

Right now I'm playing The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker, in my opinion one of the best games ever made...

...although the issues with regards what items work where, when and why are illogical and frustrating, and the incidental Windfall Island adventure-style puzzles are so poorly conceived and badly implemented it's almost beyond belief that Nintendo could make such terrible judgments...

...but apart from all that, Wind Waker absolutely rocks the casbah http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

[jackinthebox]

right now i'm playing Trackmania United and a little bit of Counterstrike: Source... maybe i'll begin the Baldur's Gate saga sometime...

[2K Elizabeth]

Crackdown and Zelda: TP.

[Silent Film]

Whenever I get ten minutes to spare I usually load up Gumboy, from Steam.

The same goes for Prey I guess, which I grabbed from a bargain bin recently. I can't seem to play it for more than ten minutes before boredom sets in.

Also, having totally forgotten that I had preordered it over a year ago, the PC version of Resident Evil 4 landed on my doorstep last week, so I guess I'll be playing that soon.

[Gimli]

The Battle for Wesnoth. Highly addictive, and the campaigns aren't bad either.

[LowEnergyCycle]

Oblivion and (cough!)Saint's Row(cough!). I'm actually kinda enjoying being a pimpin' gangsta' foo', kicking ragdoll prostitutes down the street, stealing cars and modding them, shooting up the place etc.

I bought a second-hand copy of SW:KOTOR last week, but it crashes my Xbox360 whenever I try to enter a certain door required to advance the plot, right near the start too. Bum.:(

Also, having totally forgotten that I had preordered it over a year ago, the PC version of Resident Evil 4 landed on my doorstep last week, so I guess I'll be playing that soon.Hate to break it to you but the PC version of RE4 is supposed to be pretty bad (no mouse support, bad graphics etc.).

The best way to play it is to pick up a second hand GameCube and play the original. The PS2 version is apparently pretty good also (it has an extra mission and lots more reasons for multiple playthroughs.)

[Silent Film]

I know, I was looking at some 'comparsion' shots before. I actually have the GC version, which I've only played about 30 minutes of, but I loaned it to a friend a couple of months ago. Now might be the time to ask for it back.

[pn18]

Counter Strike: Source, Commands and Conquer: Generals (waiting for the new one), Oblivion.

Crackdown made me sad, highly anticipated but then I beat it in two nights. Its a blast but ends way to quickly.

[Adabiviak]

I've been playing MAME lately, Vampire Savior and Samurai Shodown II (a couple of my favorite boxers) - it's been a while since a good first person shooter came out and I've replayed all mine a zillion times through. I'm so looking forward to the batch of games coming out this year - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. being the first comes out in four days - bring it!

[witch]

Xbox360: Rainbow Six Vegas (going for that AK baby), Bullet Witch (so much fun, the spells rock out), Alien Hominid, and soon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the xbox live arcade one)

Ps2: Just got finished with God Of War, the first one, and i loved it, can;t believe i waited that long to play it.

PC: Want to try Stalker but I don't know if my specs will be OK.

Currently, currently though, I am playing through Deus ex on ps2. Played invisible war for xbox and I've been on an old game hat so i checked out the original. Great game, :D

What are your specs?

I've just finished Star Trek: Elite Force 2 (a great game!) & Infernal and now I'm waiting for STALKER and C&C3 as well. :) I think I should reinstall Oblivion too because SI will be here soon. And of course there's Conter Strike: Source, I play a few matches every now and then. :)

2.8 ghz Pentium 4, 1g ram (don't know what kind, and a radeon 9800 pro 256mb. Come to think of it, I heard on a message board the other day that some guy with the same setup as mine was running it on medium so I'm going to probably check it out, $40 price tag isn't a bad deal either, :D

[Silent Film]

Well, I can't play RE4 at the moment anyway. Trying to install it just now I remembered why I have only played Steam games for the past six months - both DVD and CD-RW drives seem to be borked, or at least the cable is. :(

I saw recently that the Hitman games have appeared on Steam so I might buy the package. Despite having played most of them I think they're probably worth owning on Steam. OR I may wait to see if Eidos puts the Thief and Dx series on there, I've been meaning to replay them for a while.

Sorry to hear that, however, i feel that Re4 wasn't all that great. I did enjoy the new mechanics with cameras and aiming but it was just too action oriented, not creepy at all. That and they really strayed from the universe canon. I mean, RE games are not shakespearean tales but the story in 4 was absolute trash (saving the president's daughter? urg, they ruined Leon for me).

I wish they would have keep it like this: http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=1099

If you want, scroll down to where it says, "Early Version Game play".

[D'Sparil]

You might not have liked the story, and we are all certainly entitled to our opinions, but it is virtually undeniable that the re-worked controls were actually approachable. Don't get me wrong, I am one of the biggest fans of the series since its beginning, but the earlier RE controls were like having three retarded monkeys trying to drive a tank backwards through a minefield. In RE4 you could actually AIM... ZOMG! What a concept, since all RE and there focus on ammo conservation, I have always wonders why highly trained special forces units could not achieve headshots (at close range no less) against slow moving targets to effectively conserve their ammo. As a side note, most zombie lore suggests that the head must be severed/destroyed/pierced to permanently defeat them anyways. Ok back on track, many gamers out there practice headshots in a variety of games and take pride in their quick relexes and abilty to quickly become familiar with the controls and be able to capitalize on this. So it made RE4 a little more on the action side, what they did for the control scheme more than made up for it, even if you thought the story was bad (which, I for one didn't). BUT... at least it wasn't one of those light gun games or run-around RE with no point to it, huh?

[Hatesink]

Sorry to hear that, however, i feel that Re4 wasn't all that great. I did enjoy the new mechanics with cameras and aiming but it was just too action oriented...

I've played a few RE titles. The latest three being 4, zero and the Gamecube re-make of the original, and although I did get pretty used to the original controls, I think the RE4 controls are a huge improvement (As for the original controls, if they'd included 90 degree turns as well as the 180 degree turn on the Gamecube c-stick it would have made it at possible to achieve complete fluidity))

As far as the story's concerned, I thought it was okay, at least just to justify the gameplay (and I really liked the gameplay), although I can totally appreciate that a lot of fans of the series would be annoyed at them exploiting the characters and story-arks to facilitate the gameplay.

Having said that, to be honest I'm not really sure if I would have enjoyed RE4 as much if it was like the rest of the series, plus I think the whole attrition dynamic of RE4 is also the direction in which the whole survival 'genre' is moving, so I think it needs to go that way to stay fresh.

I hesitate to call survival a genre since I think it's like Film Noir in the sense that it's probably not really a genre in it's own right. It just utilises dynamics common to most games (it just emphasises them) and there are so many games that seem to have what might be considered a survival dynamic but that are still not considered survival games. For instance, on the more difficult settings Rainbow Six Lockdown might even be definable as a 'survival' title, just not a survival horror.

Only got four hours of sleep last nite and perhaps less tonite due to Oblivion: Shivering Isles and C&C 3 being out...

[D'Sparil]

Enough new content in Shivering isles to make the purchase? Or is it like one string of guild missions?

[LowEnergyCycle]

As of last night, I'm now finally playing Gears of War (it's been sat under my TV for about 5 weeks now, untouched). I'm also strongly considering the Shivering Isles addon, but that means taking World of Warcraft away from Mrs.LEC for an hour while I take over the modem...

Dangerous...

[nmrahde]

Honestly D'Sparil I don't know about the quests so far I was just busy exploring. So far I've only done two quests which weren't anything special.

The traps are a lot better done than in Oblivion, lots of times even if you know what to look for you'll miss them and there's stuff like crumbling columns that you don't even have a chance to see.

The overall gameworld looks a lot like fan-service for Morrowind fans with giant mushroom-like trees all over

Also there's like 10? all new enemies so it's not like they just slapped new skins on stuff and proclaimed an it an expansion.

[Hatesink]

I'm currently playing Alida

(I've just finished the Secrets of Da Vinci demo, which I enjoyed a lot.)

[Adabiviak]

So S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has been released since my previous post and I've been playing that. Seriously, yesterday was a 20-hour marathon with pee breaks and a quick check online how to get out of Brain Scorcher (after having misread an earlier tip). I've been collecting armors, rifles, and artifacts (the pistols are, in my opinion, lame, so they're left on the cadavers). I have every artifact (that I know of) except Mama's Beads (traded them in before I decided to start collecting) and Night Star. I have most of the rifles except the sniper-modified TSR-80 and the Bulldog grenade launcher, both of which were traded to Duty for chores, and others that I haven't reached in the game yet. I have all the armors I know of. I keep them stuffed in a stash just outside of the bar. I know some other heads are playing this - what's your preferred weapon? What is the funnest thing to do in the game (or the funnest mission you had to do?) What artifacts do you actually use? My favorite activity: I equip my best endurance artifacts (curently three Moonlights and two Flashes) and a shotgun (I'm using up the Gravi-enhanced Chaser 13 now, but will probably switch to the SPSA14 when it chokes too much) with dart rounds, and chase mutants. You can run indefinitely and their varied attach/avoid behavior is a blast. Snorks, for example should be coaxed into jumping at you for a point blank shot that'll drop them in one shot out of the air. If you time it wrong, you'll get hit and they'll still be alive, but if you time it right, you'll actually knock them back out of the air a little. Blind dogs just get chased around the park, but you have to have Psudodogs present to make things interesting. Sometimes I'll go to the border of the Monolith/Red Forest area. For whatever reason, there are legions of all kinds of critters swarming that area and, during breaks in the action, I'll go over the hill to the village and drop a controller.

[splicer]

i know this is sad,but system shock 2 for the first time!-and so far its pretty cool!

So S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has been released since my previous post and I've been playing that. <insert massive list of spoilers here>Ack! I don't want to know any of that! I've only just started playing.

Either alert us to the spoilers before you start talking about it, or wrap it in a [color=#9d9d9d][/color] tags so it matches the background (you have to highlight it to read it). Preferably both.

Rapture Mom, is it possible to add some proper tags? Once Bx is out, there will be a whole lot more.

I'm no longer playing Alida, because it's not really to my taste.

For a moment there I thought you were playing Dark Messiah with the graphics toned down. :p

[LowEnergyCycle]

Over Easter I mostly played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - it's my first experience of the Belmont Saga EVER, and as such I had to sink into the dirty underworld of GameFAQs, just to make sure it wasn't really all over in 6 paltry and exceedingly easy hours.

For those who don't know (if such a person exists) - it isn't. There's, like, 100.3% more game in in there. Providing of course that you've found item X and Y, (which in turn require a chain of other items to procure), leading you to solve puzzle A, to collect item Z, only then to re-do part F and find yourself in location 2.

Location 2 also being 100.3% harder.

I hope that doesn't spoil anything for those last dregs of the Gameplaying Public who have never experienced the Wonders of Castlevania (bom-bom-bommmmm).

Oooo, and I agree with what somebody else said above: Shivering Isles is indeed (visually, at least) a big fan-service to Morrowing fans. It's also a little bit mad (obviously), the main quest is over a bit quick, and it's only for those who enjoy dispairing labrinthine dungeon crawls.

Don't listen to Gamespot's review either - Sheogorath is awsome, and also not Scottish. Infact, it sounds more like poorly-acted Irish. There's a massive difference. Stupid Gamespot.

[Club Heaven]

A little bit of Half-Life 2 deathmatch every day, just for relaxation :rolleyes: Trying to teach those damn rpg campers a lesson or two about honor and glory :p The last game I finished was S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and I L.O.V.E.D. it. But it was somewhat of a bittersweet experience, seeing as how many of the promised features along the years have been cut.
And I recently quit using the Source engine for a mod I'm making, that moment coinciding with the release of the first videos showcasing CryEngine 2 :eek: it was better than sex ! For anyone who has any idea what the dev in those videos is talking about it should sound like the answer to all their prayers. Check them out and become a believer !

[nmrahde]

I couldn't tell which Sheogorath's accent was most of the time because I was revelling in the sheer insanity of his dialog.

Was having fun yesterday being sadistic with one NPC who was charged to follow me - the pathing is actually fairly decent so when I jumped from one of the high staircase landing to a rooftop he realized that the only viable way to get where I was was to do the same. However he couldn't jump as far and a hilarious "Don't try this at home" miss occurred. Then he'd get right back up and try again. And again. And...wait nope he got knocked unconsious that time. So much twisted fun!

Also started playing the pc version of Jade Empire. Aside from the fact that you can definitely tell it's a port it seems okay. Chock full of all the myriad dialog options you expect from BioWare (I want more alignment choices than just a boring 2 - How about a pentagon chart that shows my leaning towards various things?)

Edit: @LowEnergyCycle - If you liked Symphony of the Night play "Curse of Darkness" for PS2 or Aria of Sorrow/Dawn of Sorrow for GBA/DS (All castlevanias). Curse of Darkness is neat because it's 3D with full ability to rotate the camera

[LowEnergyCycle]

@nmrahde

Yeah? I'm totally hooked at the minute. Never has a game caused me so much frustration before while still keeping me hooked with that one-more-go factor. I may have to dig out my old GBA then. Unfortunately I've never owned a PS2, but this is just one more good reason to buy a cheap 2nd-hand one now the PS3 is out and none of those money-loaded technophiles wants one anymore :p

Mostly been playing STALKER and whateverthehell version of Call of Juarez I have. I think I'm gonna pick up the legit copy tomorrow when it comes out in the US. Does anyone know if it has immediate DX10 support?

[pimptastic_21]

no clue man sorry. been playin silent hill 2 and 3 and finished those up recently (eh didnt like 4 too much) and a little bit of good ole condemned.

[Hatesink]

I'd be playing Dark Corners right now if it didn't take so so long to load from this russian DVD.

Just Finished Stetchkov Syndicate. Going to wait until I've got more energy to play through it again (the second time around I might not go less lethal, although I probably will take the pepper-ball gun, and a tazer. Actually, the silenced smg is pretty gnarly).

God this Dark Corners installation is soooooo loong.

Today I've been playing Another World (http://www.mobygames.com/game/out-of-this-world). Best game of 1991 as far as I'm concerned.

On the side I'm playing a bit of DXIW again, as well as some Condemned.
Maybe I'll pick up KOTOR again sometime soon.

Call of Juarez, sitting on my desk. I'm not touching it until I get back :(

At least the load times are significantly less than the demo, probably thanx to new Dual Core and DDR2 RAM.

Ye your Avatar gives it away, you playing Toredor or is it just for the avatar?

[lurchibald]

WAS playing Splinter cell: double agent

and i have to say it is one of THE worst games i have ever played EVER if you haven't played this game, do yourself a favour, don't, it is VERY clear that this game was made for a console eg. the crappy keyboard setup.

Worst game EVER:mad:

[Hatesink]

Ye your Avatar gives it away, you playing Toredor or is it just for the avatar?Basically it could be a painting of me (it wouldn't serprise me if you told me it was (I had a friend from Boston who sketched me and worked in the industry doing artwork for games)).

It's probably some other guy, but it's literally the exact spitting image of me at that age (I have no idea who the character is, but it's just basically me) ;)

...how's that for freaky (maybe I should start posting to the paranormal thread).

Right now I'm playing the shadowrun demo and it is amazing! Online multiplayer, 3 campaign missions, and single player with bots in a demo?! HELL YES! :)

[lotkrotan]

If you ever played Themepark for PC/Genesis/SNES/the other 321412 platforms it was released on, and you liked that one, you'll love this one. It gets a much needed graphical update (not so much that it loses it's charm) and it gets a handful of new features and game types. It's the best sim game on the DS ^_^

What I love about the AI is the personality and considering they're all clones monolith had an excuse not to add emotion to their speech.

"I can't see him" <- panicky
"Shut the f*** up" <- angry
.......quiet.............
"Search this area" <- calm
"No f***ing way" <- still panicking

[lotkrotan]

that's one thing I loved about the terrorists in Rainbow Six Vegas. The AI was great, and the dialogue they shared was as well.

lucky :( WoW framerates on my vista machine rarely go over 20fps, and that's with no shaders or effects, and lowest detail on everything...

[Hatesink]

I always upgrade really late, so it's not that much of an issue for me. I'm just hoping they've got it running smoothly in time for Alan Wake (which is still pretty far off).

[pimptastic_21]

one question for the WoW players. why? lol i just dont see the fun in that game, i looked at like the actual game (gameplay, saw someone from work play it) and i just looked horrendously bad. i mean it didnt look like ANY fun. dont get me wrong i like blizzard for the most part, but it just looked so boring and bad. . .

on another note, currently playing

1. Deus Ex Invisible War
2. Evil Dead Regenration
3. Unreal Championship 2
4. Shenmue

[Bioshock_FTW!]

one question for the WoW players. why?

Lol. I've been asking myself that since it got boring. Honestly, I was hooked for about a month. I enjoyed the repetitive quest types until i obviously got sick of them.
I've been an EQ player since the get-go so playing a really polished MMO like WoW is a huge difference and it's more fun in some ways. It's really easy to just pick up WoW and play casually. You actually gain experience from not playing (kinda), it's this thing called Rested Experience that basically gains the more you're logged out, and when it rises, it fills a percentage of your total experience so you actually level faster; your experience rises 2x faster until you're out of rested exp. I don't know, it's kinda confusing to explain for some reason.

Like I said, it's just really easy to just jump in every now and then and join an instance raid or just poke around and work on professions.

[pimptastic_21]

lol yeah i guess i can kinda understand, cuz i played diablo 2 a little, but that game was all gory and awesome for the most part. but i didnt even play that much at all. i just never really saw the appeal in WoW

D2 ftw! I was huge into it for a while too. Sigh. Cow run, anyone?

WoW is for those who want a game where they can be social, build a character, pick up quests casually, and just have fun. It's not a huge serious game and if you treat it like it is, then you're gonna be let down. Also a huge thing about WoW to a lot of people is the instances. Basically a generated dungeon just for your group. Theyre fun and usually yield some good items.

[lotkrotan]

yea, I mainly play wow to go do some quests with friends, and just relax. It's not a taxing game, and its fun to just hang out in it.

[pimptastic_21]

LOL cow run. . . good stuff man, good stuff. i remember sitting in the lobby just looking for a game with the word cow hahaha, ah man brings back memories. but yeah i suppose i can understand what you guys are gettin at. eh i guess WoW just isnt my type of game, cuz im not really a hardcore gamer, but when i play, i play like hardcore. is this making sense? lol i guess what im saying is when i play i like to get into it and play for hours and then not play at all for a while (dont have the time) but when i do have time, get back into it and play for another long session. . . . i dunno guess im wierd like that?

I hear ya but I can't say WoW wouldn't fit into your gaming schedule. I play maybe once a week, usually for longer sessions then I get sick of it and don't feel like playing for a week. Dunno. I'm not trying to be a WoW-vangelist, i swear! You'd probably be better off not playing :p

Guild Wars FTW!!! At least when I can get access to a pc :( So I play Prince of Perisa on 360 (a great remake) to kill time till I can play Overlord (check out the demo this game looks great!!) that will kill time until I go to Anime Expo (Long Beach first weekend in July wo0t go anime!!1) all to pass time untill I can get hands on Bioshock, at which point I will say goodbye to real life for probably a day or 2 in a row (how many days can I get off in a row from work.....) Oh and Shadowrun which you either love it or hate it is good to kill time

What are the specs of the machine and what resolution will you be running it at? Cause I'll tell ya in my 8800 GTX machine, the framerates crawl at times, other times it's 100+ FPS. It's unpredictable, but the graphics engine is kinda needy of better hardware. I'd give it a shot, even if you have to turn the detail down.

As for me. I just finished Undying, a game I'm sorely dissapointed that I ignored when it was released. So right now I'm playing Diablo II (keep getting bored of my main characters, making new characters which I then ignore and return to my main character again :p ) and C&C 3, a game which doesn't quite revitalise the C&C universe like it promised but is nevertheless a very enjoyable game (when your doing well :rolleyes: )

Gangrel. Seems to be the run-of-the-mill clan, rather average. It works for me. I don't know too much about the game, really...aside from what I've played of it. I don't know the difference between clans too well...who has what disciplines, who excels in certain types of combat. Alls I know is that this guy is pretty good with stealth, security, and computers. That's my type of character, sneaky sneaky.

YAY a fellow Gangrel, although if you wanted a sneaky character you probably should have gone Nosferatu or Malkavian as they're the two clans with stealth abilities, especially the Nosferatu although I wouldn't imagine many people would play them as they're F*** ugly.

Still malkavians can be a laugh, although to be honest I wouldn't recommend them first time you play either as their dialogue is F***ed. The clans don't really matter that much in the end, I tended to play the game stealthy as well, if only for the sneak kills, hehe *snap*.

Maybe next time around I'll try Nosferatu. They seem like the type who'd have to stick to the sewers due to their appearance...which sucks. That just makes it less enjoyable because you don't blend in like you're supposed to.

I like my gangrel (so far), though I don't think the "build" of disciplines has that much to offer (i use animalism mostly just for the nightwisp ravens), but i gotta work on building that up. I havent been progressing my guy in much other than security, stealth, and computers.

That's quite alright, though don't expect it anytime soon as they're only in like a development stage. It's probably gonna be a couple of years before we see a finished product, probably explains why it's not in the public eye.

YAY a fellow Gangrel...
I was tempted to replay as Gangrel because it changes the way Beckett, a fellow Gangrel, relates to you and trains you.

I played as Ventrue mostly for joy of casting max strength domination. Too funny. However, no player should ever leave this game without also experiencing the world of a Malkavian. Aside from the hilarious lines, the TV anchorman may even strike up a conversation with you in your downtown apartment. Never tried Nosferatu. I suppose that having to keep to the sewers, ducts and shadows forces an entirely unique experience plus entirely different dialogues.

I'd strongly recommend that anyone playing Bloodlines these days consider applying one of the unofficial patches by Dan Upright, aka Wesp5. He's even separated them into bug fixing only and gameplay modding versions:

http://www.forumplanet.com/planetvampire/forum.asp?fid=9643

You'll find that his patches unlocks an interesting optional suite of character creation templates that were fully assembled in the released code but never implemented. So, not only did I play as a Ventrue, I was born of the "Corporate Schmo" template. :D

Bad luck man, so close to bio, hope you get a replacement soon .. i was in the same boat a week ago.

yeah, check your warrenty
if that doesn't work, you could check your budget to see if you might even be able to upgrade to elite!

what is Saints Row like? I know I was interested it in it before, but didn't really ever get around to looking it up, and I don't know if I'll still like it now, so I don't know if it is even worth my time looking it up now

so... yeah, is it for the PC?

oh yeah, and thumbs up with the lego thing, always a good tactic (er... I think? lol)

Saint's Row is like GTA, only without the worthless stat system from San Andreas, Better aiming mechanics, and better graphics. I liked it a lot, beat the game, but I'm not a huge sanbox fan, so I didn't replay it.

[pimptastic_21]

and now im on Farcry Instincts Predator, whoo hoo

[pimptastic_21]

(damn achievements, its the only reason im still playing farcry. . .)

[devonthedude]

pretty much playing shadowrun exclusively, with little bouts of crackdown and rainbow six vegas in between.

[Nias Wolf]

Right... Now I am officially playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl.
I LOVE it. Maybe It has something to do with the fact that I hadn't played a real videogame in a long time, or maybe the fact that I went into a tunnel in the reaserch facility (left of garbage) and found some psychic-pig-face-ace-bandage-person, and still don't know what it was! :eek:
Anyway, that should explain why I haven't been posting a lot lately. Oh, and I see why people play games on computers, but I still think I preffer consols *shrug* :p
Anyway... I'll try to stay up to date with bioshock news, but I wont be posting a ton.

[Tellurian]

Playing Okami and loving it so far.
Hope it stays that way.
It's so very Zelda-like... O_ô
Which of course is a good thing as Zelda equals pure awesome.
It's such a pretty game... And the slight infusion of RPG elements doesn't really bother me. Which it usually does. JRPG elements I mean of course, as I'm a pretty big fan of western style RPGs.

[gains]

I wanted to like Okami. The art is fabulous. The combat mechanics started to break it for me. Too many problems with camera angles and lining up attack combos. And that bug. That f***ing bug. I would skip dialog at every opportunity just to not read the insipid jokes and hear that shrill chirping. I realized that I was missing out on the story, which is quite good from what I did see, because I couldn't stand a supporting character.

[Poison17]

Yesterday I started playing Metroid Zero Mission, and Link's Awakening DX I still didn't beat it and I stopped playing for a while I'm on the 6th Dungeon.

[splicer]

I'm playing Obscure on PS2;) -neat survival horror game,I'm looking forward to the sequel,august is gonna be a busy month!;)

[That_dude]

Playing KotOR on mah 360...again.
Trying to get hyped up for Mass Effect, but man, this game is amazing. Better than most games this year.

[somecut8]

I'm starting XIII now, and so far it has met my expectations. Only complaint is that it is sort of linear. But the art style is awesome.

[BioShockWins]

halo 1 pc (wich CE)
best game by bungie ever... AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT!!!

[lotkrotan]

Mario Party 8, I just unlocked all the minigames and the two secret characters :)

If you find some spare time, stop by our S.T.A.L.K.E.R. scrum (http://69.64.70.103/forums/showthread.php?t=361&highlight=scrum). It's been a sleepy town for awhile, but some fresh blood is always welcome :)

yea, I did that, and it's one of my most prized achievements. first retail game I maxed out. Then Oblivion came out, and I maxed that out.

Yeah, I find it moderately hard though. Vet mode is mostly trial and error for me.
By the way, did you get your 360 Gamertag back with your new Elite?

[StudlyNerdBoy]

I've been playing around with Rainbow Six: Vegas on Realistic, I started playing through FEAR for the 4th time as well.

[Rapture011191]

Its an old game...but man-o-man do i love it! Fable: The lost chapters! The whole evil and good, the leveling systems and again systems...i love it! Seriously, 1 of my favorite games! (after Zelda and Megaman...untouchables, classics!)

[Sandstorm]

Going through Morrowind again as well as Thief: Deadly Shadows, but I badly need to get a new game to playthrough. Well not that badly. Morrowind and Thief are great, I don't mind playing through them again for the millionth time :)

[PsychotropicPineapples]

Let's see...

Star Wars KotoR,
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30(for the second time),
Dreamfall - The Longest Journey,
Rainbow Six: Vegas,
Prey(I lost my saves last time so I have to start again... and I was so close to the end!),
Splinter Cell: Double Agent,
Thief: Deadly Shadows,
System Shock 2,
X3: Reunion(I'm gonna try and learn that game... again. It's one mofo of a game to learn! A few months(no ****) to learn most of it))
and also in the last two or so weeks...
F.E.A.R. : Extraction Point(finished the normal game a little while ago and jumped right into the expansion),
Rappelz online,
Far Cry,
and Trackmania: Sunrise.

Yep, I'm playing a lot of stuff.

[501105]

Fear add on I wish it was as good as the original but it sucks.
