Which games are you currently playing?

[patters]

basically name a game or more that you are currently playing (or have been recently) and say what you think of it.

Prince of Persia (newest): It is OK, not as good as the last 3, the removal of death as a deterrent is irritating, I wish they had not done it, it seems like a way to appeal to "casuals". I think the combat is dry and repetitive also.

Smash Bros:brawl: Overall an excellent game, however a lot of the mechanics from melee worked better in my opinion

Halo Wars: the best RTS I have played on a console, over simplified compared to PC ones, although that is to be expected. It is a pity Ensemble don't exist anymore

[ShaggE]

Nabbed a Guitar Hero: Aerosmith + X-Plorer Guitar bundle for a measly $30 today. :D So I've been playing that.

It's an okay GH game, albeit much shorter and easier than the others. I'm a bit disappointed that very few of my favorite Aerosmith songs are on it. (Dude Looks Like A Lady, Don't Want To Miss A Thing, Jaded, Crazy... all missing from the game. Bah, humbug.)

But the main draw for me was the controller, with the disc as an added bonus, so it's all good. Can't complain since the game was technically free.

[yogurtmano86753090]

spore:pretty awesome game it lets you express yourself.
pokemon platinum:another awesome game i suck at it but hey, its fun
ratchet and clank:up your arsenal:crazy cool game.lots of awesome violence and action

[MaxFan]

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (seriously, the story's great and it's one of the only 3-d platformers I've ever been able to get the hang of, but like everyone says the combat sucks)

Dance Dance Revolution: Extreme (yeah, well, I like it so whatever, plus it's good exercise who wouldn't want to dance to this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VgUpo4dMcM))

Sonic the Hedgehog (found a plug and play to my TV with some Genesis games on it, so cool)

Wallace and Gromit: Fright of the Bumblebees (some of Gromit's facial expressions were priceless. Wallace being so awkward around Felicity was funny if striking a little close to home)

[natlinxz]

Maniac Mansion - I'm making a "lets play".
Leisure Suit Larry - I was curious. (about the game, not women) :D
Final Fantasy X - I like to make fun of the terrible story (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNZJRd9JsBE)
Freddi Fish - Most Epic Game Ever (hey, Ron Gilbert had a part in it)

[Emily]

Final Fantasy IV on the DS. I bought it for myself as a birthday present. :D Loving it so far, but I'm an easy sell when it comes to Final Fantasy.

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

MOTHER 3: I would make an LP, but I don't have any way to record the computer screen.

UrfBownd: Third playthrough, but still.

Weegee's Mansion: I HATE YOU BOWSER IHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOU

[Guy in a Box]

Right now, I'm trying to see if I can complete Mario Kart Wii. It's annoying.

[Snicklin]

TF2. Best multiplayer online game with guns ever.

[Guy in a Box]

TF2. Best multiplayer online game with guns ever.

There's competition?

[ig0rpwnwEd]

TF2 (will never stop playing!), Katamari Damacy (In my top 10), Shadow of the Colossus (masterpiece!), Super Mario World (Best. Mario. EVAR!), Killzone 2 (preeeeetttttttttyyy), Daxter (w00t!), replaying TWEWY, I just picked up Galaxy again, and I am actually playing many more!

[Snicklin]

Yeah!!!

[Shauntron]

Just got Far Cry 2, it's alright so far. Also replaying Dangeresque 3 with my friend, of all things (you'd think I'd be sick of it by now!)

[Snicklin Mobile]

Rasta Monkey!!!

[Zootch]

The Universe According to Virgil Reality! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aynclw6TXeE)

I am also staggering through Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis for the Gameboy Advance. The collision detection makes this game damn near unplayable

[Guy in a Box]

I just recently got Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on WiiWare, so playing that too.

[Ray-The-Sun]

Mother 3, Earthbound, Earthbound 0/Mother 1, TF2, Audiosurf, Megaman 9 (T-T), Cave Story (Guess how many times I've played through and you're wrong), Cave Story, Cave Story, Apollo Justice, Starwing/Starfox, Lylat Wars, SF: Assault.

[the_napoleon]

I've been playing Audiosurf (my slow self just got it a week ago), some more TF2, I'm trying out Mirrors Edge on the Xbox 360, I'm stuck on The World Ends With You, and for some strange reason I've been playing Day of Defeat: Source although I hate WW2 games.

Weegee's Mansion: I HATE YOU BOWSER IHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOU
I remember thinking those exact thoughts on the final boss battle, as well.

[rottlord]

Iam playing Dead Space now and its awesome. Its the best horror survival game I have played in a long time. Infact it made me jump on my seat so many times!! The necromorphs really gives me the creeps.

[LittleBuddy]

Dead Space (Great), Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando (never got to finish this one because my MC got erased but I restarted it again with the announcement of A Crack in Time), FFIV DS (didn't intend to pick it up since I know the original by heart but I saw it at 10€ and couldn't say no :P).

[thanatos56]

Pokemon Pearl (Kinda obsessed, actually. Trying to organize a tournament with my friends).
Trauma Center 2 (Unbelievably fun and one of the best uses of the DS touch screen I've ever played).
WoW (Not saying a word about that).....

[The Burninator]

WoW (big time sink :P), Littlebigplanet on my PS3 still, and W&G.

[deadlinejon]

Wario land on original gameboi (not on my advance either.im playing it on the good old wonder brick)
Sonic spinball on vc (off SD card too.)
and i might start cave story soon...

[patters]

Just got Far Cry 2, it's alright so far.

I've had it for a while (before christmas), and I have only just got into it. so...

Farcry 2: an excellent game for what I have played of it but very hard to get into, I mean 2-4 hours in and you will start to get it. well worth it, the visuals are beautiful sunrises especially and night time is very nice too. Get it if you can.

[metalkombat]

After having just finished Sam & Max Season 1 for the Wii (epic), I've proceeded to Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. It seems like a major step back after the full-band, better-graphiced experience of Guitar Hero: World Tour, but I need to play through this thing at least once. Preferably on Expert, if possible.

[Freelance Poster]

Ar Tonelico II (currently on hold. Overall it's a decent game, but NIS could've done a way better job than what they gave us.),

Star Ocean First Departure (Short and Sweet. I'm loving this game, haven't put it down since I started. I'll have to play it again to get the alt. characters though)

Valkyria Chronicles (If you have a PS3 and you don't have this game go buy it. Right now. It's just that good. It's a must have in any PS3 library)

Dragon Quest V (Love the story, characters, etc. Classic DQ at its best)

[DavidG]

Spore and also Raymen the Rabbid.

[yogurtmano86753090]

just picked up portal.again i suck at the puzzles but its fun.

[anglerush]

Rock Band 2
Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard

[Cez]

Eternal Sonata
Street Fighter IV
Dead Space
Persona 4

and...

Wallace & Gromit Episode 2 (and it's awesome!) :p

[patters]

Wallace & Gromit Episode 2 (and it's awesome!) :p

I am generally gonna call you a liar for that. You don't have an italics username or a ttg symbol. I don't think they did a beta test either.

[Cez]

sorry, I should have introduced myself, of course. Cesar Bittar, new guy at Telltale as an assistant producer. Guess I should go ask them to update my account :)

lol, nice text under your picture. (not sure what it's actually called)

So, to welcome you to the forums (and risk the locking this thread), you will be rickrolled (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwFA_CkEQeU).

Sorry, but I couldn't resist.

[Guy in a Box]

I've started replaying World of Goo over again to see if I can get OCD (Obsessive Completion Distinction) on each level. So far, I'm failing.

[DarkStar Runner]

I plan to beat Professor Layton (#'s 1 and 3) again sometime soon. However, currently, I am trying to see how much money I can make in Fable II...I already bought all the major locations I could so far, and most of the markets...

[metalkombat]

New Play Control! Pikmin, which is actually much better than what I expected. I had never played the original, although I did own Pikmin 2, and playing this game for the first time on the Wii is an incredible experience. Truly an experience only Nintendo could deliver.

This goes to show that games don't need to gory and death-ridden, simply entertaining.

[patters]

The Maw:cute platformer with some great game mechanics, although it is a little short, there are a couple of items of DLC available Which I may buy. If you have a 360 get it, as it is only 800 msp with each each item of DLC being 100 msp. It's also on PC

[Guy in a Box]

I just got Rhythm Heaven (minus a DSi, unfortunately :( ) and it is cute, addictive, fun, and goddamn hard.

[MussKatt]

Wow i'm glad that Dead Space is receiving respect, it's trully one of the best games ever, a true heir to System Shock 2.

Me i am currently playing Left 4 dead. Guys. It owns TF2, give it a try, it's total coop awesomeness and one of the top fps ever made. Made by Valve too :P

Also i am currently playing on PC 'Overclocked, a history of violence'
This is a point and click adventure game, but it's more psychological and serious than the more popular adventure games, also, i don't think anyone really paid attention to it, i discovered this just recently and picked it up dirt cheap at some random store :)

[patters]

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition: Really like this game and the wii controls work excellently, so glad i picked it up especially for only £15

[t_mack]

Final Fantasy XII (Played it once but never beat it.)
Fallout 3

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

I've been watching a lot of HVGN lately, so I recently got a few new games.

Metal Storm: It's a lot of fun, and it's very entertaining. The controls are incredible, as are the graphics. It's a bit on the difficult side, though not too much.

Nightshade: Again, a lot of fun and it's very challenging. It reminds me of Telltale games, in the sense that it's a comedy point and click game. The menu system is a bit annoying, though.

Duck Tales: It really feels like playing an episode of the cartoon with all of the ridiculous settings and enemies and whatnot. It's a lot of fun, and the soundtrack is amazing.

Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers: The levels are very linear, and the item-getting sound is horrible, but overall, it's a very entertaining and enjoyable experience.

Wild Guns: A very fast-paced shooter game, it's very enjoyable and has a great soundtrack. The costume-changing also reminds me of Smash Bros.

[Guy in a Box]

I've been watching a lot of HVGN lately, so I recently got a few new games.

Hungry Video Game Nerd?

[natlinxz]

Hungry Video Game Nerd?

Happy Video Game Nerd.

Anyway, I've been playing Odama. It's a RTS Pinball Voice-Activated game for Gamecube. It's complicated, but really fun!

[ShaggE]

Just bought Mass Effect at Best Buy, since they were out of Silent Hill: Homecoming (-.-). I've rented ME before, but I've been wanting to play it again, so... I'm playing it again.

Also, with this purchase, I now own more RPGs for the 360 than I ever have for any one system before.

[Armakuni]

Playing though Cannon Fodder again, had it on my Amiga years ago.
Got it on GoG.com (Good Old Games) for 6 bucks, well worth it. The game is still really fun today.

However, it's very noticable that this game comes from a time when games were hard :D
I'm having lots of trouble with some of these later stages.

[StinkomanFan]

Bully for the PS2. I'm going for 100%

[Armakuni]

On the final stage of Cannon Fodder now. If anyone here for some strange reason missed out on this gem, I highly recommend it!

They're selling it on GoG.com for 6 bucks, very much worth it.

[Snicklin]

Rolando. It's a great game for the iPhone/iPod touch.

I got this to replace LocoRoco, because I don't have a PSP. I played the demo, loved it, then I got a iPod touch for my birthday. I found out about Rolando, got the app, and it really satisfied me. So if you have an iPhone, and want a game like LocoRoco for it (But you don't have a PSP), get Rolando.

[meretchen]

None. I bought Wallace & Gromit, but it won't run.

[metalkombat]

I somehow missed out on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess when it was first released 3 years ago, so I'm doing a run-through now (at least until June). After playing through a bit of it, I'm thoroughly pissed at myself for not buying it 3 years ago.

[AllenB]

Wolfenstein 3D, Fallout 2 and...
Damn, am I only playing two games?

[yogurtmano86753090]

i got unlimited access (how the heck do you spell that?) on fusionfall so ive been playing a lot of that lately but this i dont suck at.

[Guy in a Box]

I started playing Paper Mario on the N64's Virtual Console recently. Personally, I like the second game in the series the best, because it really plays more on the whole "paper" aesthetic. But the first one is still fun though. :)

[deadlinejon]

yeah, my oldest sister is replaying that one too guy.

[patters]

Gears of war 2: been getting back into the multiplayer, which is excellent when it doesn't lag, the campaign is pretty fun too. Although not recommended for younger gamers.

However it did not "blow me away" [ign.com]

[Freelance Poster]

Currently playing Earthbound! Man I love this game so much, one of my favourite games for the SNES. If only I could track down a copy of Lufia II.

[StinkomanFan]

Lego Star Wars.....I don't know why

[Guy in a Box]

I'm waiting for Wallace & Gromit Ep. 2 to load, so yeah.

yeah, my oldest sister is replaying that one too guy.

I keep leaving the game at Dry Dry Ruins. I never have enough health or items to get through the place. Damn, I never noticed how horrible I was at RPGs >_<

[Weeblerjake]

ZOMG DISNEY'S TOONTOWN!!!1!!!one!!uno!!

Animal Crossing.... and De Blob.

[metalkombat]

I'm now re-... re-playing Matroid Prime 3 Corruption. I'm doing this not only because it was a great game, but also because I need to touch up on my Wii fps skills before June 23.

[Guy in a Box]

Started getting back to playing Animal Crossing: City Folk, for no other reason except I can. My character's name is "TomServo" (I blame you for this, 16_BIT_MARIO1 :D) and my town name is "the Hood".

[DarkStar Runner]

Recently: You're In The Movies.

Lots of fun when It turns out good...however...they get so repetitive...

[Zeek]

Current: Wii Fit (for 30 minute quota) followed by Mario Kart Wii

Recently: Spore (just to see if it still works in time for Galactic Adventures), Pocket God

Up-Coming: EA SPORTS Active, Punch-Out!! (Wii-make)

[ShaggE]

Burnout 3. I kept putting it off since I'm not a racing fan, but this game is amazing. I only wish the custom soundtrack worked with the Xbox Originals download version, since the EA Trax songs are awful.

[patters]

Burnout 3. I kept putting it off since I'm not a racing fan, but this game is amazing. I only wish the custom soundtrack worked with the Xbox Originals download version, since the EA Trax songs are awful.

Quick point, on the original xbox the game did support custom soundtracks but with how it is implemented on the 360 it won't work with backwards compatibility, I do however love that game.

[Cez]

Finished Eternal Sonata. bah, it was ok. Prettiest game I've ever played though, but I'm starting to get tired of the whole J-RPG thing. I guess I've played way too many of them and they are all basically the same. I'll have to be more selective!

Anyhow, still playing:

-Dead Space
-Persona 4
-Street Fighter IV
-Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories

And this week I added:

-Oblivion.

and of course:

-Wallace & Gromit, Episode 3: Muzzled! ;)

[Guy in a Box]

and of course:

-Wallace & Gromit, Episode 3: Muzzled! ;)

Well, at least we know you mean it now :p

I've never really been that good at RPGs. I always go in with less than enough items (especially healing ones) and I'm usually stuck at boss battles doing little to nothing. Like when I was first playing Kingdom Hearts: CoM (my only KH game, and I'm going to have it stay that way), I kept frequently restarting my Game Boy because the level I was going through was too hard. So yeah.

Anyway, right now, I'm replaying Smash Bros. Brawl with my friends online to help them learn the ropes of the games. Most of the time, I win, so they change their character to the one I'm playing as for the next battle. This gets pretty annoying >_<

Y'know, this may be the longest post I've ever written.

[Zeek]

This gets pretty annoying >_<That's how it was with my sister when we were playing Mario Kart, until I told her it isn't about who you play as but their weight class.

Thankfully, she hasn't had to think about that since I unlocked the Mii Outfit A, so now she plays as her Mii. :D

[Guy in a Box]

I wish my friend had Mario Kart. *rolls eyes*

[Guy in a Box]

I'm about to start playing Psychonauts for the first time once it finishes loading.

[patters]

No More Heroes: Quite repetitive in certain aspects but great looking, as well as having excellent characters. some of the finishing moves are a little unresponsive for me though.

Resident Evil 4 Wii: I know I have mentioned this earlier but I finished it a couple of days ago and it has been one of the best games I have played recently and love it.

Fable 2: Got the newest DLC been enjoying it especially revisiting Oakvale, although it is far too short like the game.

[Zeek]

EA SPORTS ACTIVE is currently in my Wii... and it's kicking my butt.

Today is Day 2 of my 30 Day Challenge, and I don't think I'll be able to walk at work today. And I have usher duty that involves me walking from theatre to theatre. :(

[yogurtmano86753090]

thats what she said

[Guy in a Box]

I just got The Simpsons Game, and if you get past the horrible camera and slippery controls, the game can actually be quite fun, and the story of the game is very good, which satires the video game industry. Right now, I'm at the final boss, which is a Dance Dance Revolution Revelation battle against God to "Rock You Like a Hurricane". Pure EPICNESS.

[wefeelgroove]

Currently I'm playing Thief: The Dark Project, and it scares the crap out of me (like most first-person-style games tend to do)! But hey, I'm halfway through it so I must not be too terrible at it!

...Though once I get tired of constant heart attacks I take a break with Animal Crossing: City Folk, where I don't have to worry about getting accosted by guards or having my face torn off by a zombie. :D

[Zeek]

Punch Out came in the mail last night!! So much fun! :D

[edhamster]

Super Mario Galaxy, Zack and and Wiki, and W&G : Last Resort.

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

I tried Chrono Trigger the other day, and forgive me when I say that I hated it.

*Hides*

[Morden]

I tried Chrono Trigger the other day, and forgive me when I say that I hated it.

Since when everyone has to like Chrono Trigger? I do like it, but I wouldn't exactly start throwing stones at people who don't. No big deal, unless you have 12-year-old friends who love Chrono Trigger and think you suck, because you don't.

As for me, I've been enjoying some AGS (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk) games lately. I finally got to finish Super Jazz Man (http://herculeaneffort.gregjazz.com/store/) made by Herculean Effort (http://herculeaneffort.com), guys responsible for Apprentice I and II. The game is kind of "short-ish", so once you know what to do, it's very easy to finish. First time around you'll get some decent puzzling out of it, though, and it is certainly worth your $8.95.

After Super Jazz Man, I felt like playing another adventure game and this time I chose Shifter's Box - Outside In (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=1137). It's another AGS game, and it's completly free. It's centered around great puzzles, though. I can recommend it to anyone who likes puzzles, but if you're all about the story, you might find Shifter's Box largely unrewarding. But let me say this one more time: It's a great puzzler with some really nice graphics and soothing music.

Not too long ago I bought Odin Sphere for the PS2, but I haven't even had the chance to play it yet. I loved the artwork and got it, hoping I'll find some time, one day. Same goes to the new Prince of Persia, which also only got unwrapped and that was that.

[yogurtmano86753090]

i beat that a long time ago.that was fun my fav boss was matt groening. but that was before i started to notice bad camera and bad jumping etc etc.

I would be playing The Last Resort, but my Lappy's graffix are being dead. Also, Rhythm Heaven, Drawn to Life, and Defend your Castle.

I am waiting for: Sam and Max: Through Time and Space, The Last Resort (see above), and I'ma rent Professor Layton soon.

Oh, and of *course* Pocket God.

[Guy in a Box]

i beat that a long time ago.that was fun my fav boss was matt groening. but that was before i started to notice bad camera and bad jumping etc etc.

Yes, that part was great. I just finished the game, and I'm going back to try and find all the cliches and collectibles and replaying through some of the levels with my sister.

Bart: I bet our creator is a 1000-foot Godzilla...with big boobs...and fire snot!
Matt Groening: Think again! How about the world's biggest and most beloved TV animation visionary?
Homer: *gasp* Seth MacFarlane?!

[Weeblerjake]

Pocket God, Doodle Jump, and Jelly Car.

[iRock]

Pocket God, Doodle Jump...

Ah, yes, I forgot about good ol' Doodle Jump. That too.

[Weeblerjake]

I'm using the PG easter egg on that too. :P

I suggest trying Jelly Car. It's so freakin' addicting.

[patters]

Dead Space: Picked this up a while ago (was only £15), only just started it last night, really enjoying it so far, the lack of direct hud helps build atmosphere. I would recommend this to any gamer who is a fan of the survival horror genre (in particular resident evil 4). While it isn't the best game ever it goes to show how much EA have improved recently along with other recent titles such as mirrors edge and others.

[someguyfromazoo]

Just finished EarthBound again, and Giygas still scares the ever-loving crap out of me.

Just out of curiosity, Yogurtman, which version of the game do you have? I have the Wii version.

[yogurtmano86753090]

wii and i dont have it i rented it

[Zeek]

I stopped playing Punch-Out!! because I don't have the reflexes to go against Soda Popinsky, so now I'm back to playing Active and Spore.

[Guy in a Box]

wii and i dont have it i rented it

I bought it, just cause I can.

Got the game in last Thursday. Pretty fun, somewhat cliched story, fun to just drive around in other people's cars, destroy them, and then drive around in the now-charred car with the metal from the tires screeching on the pavement :D

[Gman5852]

no way how did you beat the fake riku the last time hes so friggin insane!!!!

[ShaggE]

Borrowed Blue Dragon from a friend, and it's pretty good so far. I don't like the anime feel, but the gameplay is quite solid.

[yogurtmano86753090]

i was thinking about getting a final fantasy game if its anything like kingdom hearts.im going to blockbuster today any suggestions on what i should get?the systems i have are wii and ps2

[patters]

i was thinking about getting a final fantasy game if its anything like kingdom hearts.im going to blockbuster today any suggestions on what i should get?the systems i have are wii and ps2

XII is the newest in the core series, however with a PS2 you can get FFVII (PSone) usually considered the most classic most bar X or X2 are great. With a wii you can pick up skies of arcadia legends for gamecube which is my favourite Jrpg ever

of the games mentioned XII and X2 aren't properly turnbased, and skies is probably the easiest game.

[Gman5852]

no way how did you beat the fake riku the last time hes so friggin insane!!!!

If you're talking about is Dark Aurora move, all you do is break that move with a 0 card. That also goes with all his other moves, also a goofy, attack card sleight does wuite a bit of damage on him if you hit triangle at the right time during the sleight.

Because of Nintendo's Wii Fit Plus announcement, I've found myself playing more Wii Fit now. And for some odd reason, I'm looking forward to the Pop Up Picture Pursuit board game for WiiWare...

[Gman5852]

I'm done playing Re:chain of Memories and now am playing The Legend Of Zelda Majora's Mask.

[yogurtmano86753090]

wow seems like everybodys playing re:com i finally got past riku and now im stuck on larxene. and the crappy part is that i come this close and lose.gawd i cant to beat her and watch her scream "nooooooooooooooooooooooo this cant be happening" and fade into darkness

[Gman5852]

wow seems like everybodys playing re:com i finally got past riku and now im stuck on larxene. and the crappy part is that i come this close and lose.gawd i cant to beat her and watch her scream "nooooooooooooooooooooooo this cant be happening" and fade into darkness

Same stradigy with Riku, break her sleights with zero cards. Also, sleight 3 fires together and use firga(i think thats what its called.) and finally use the Vexxen villan card at the beginning of the battle, it is really useful as it gives you half an extra life.

[yogurtmano86753090]

i rented kirby superstar ultra and beat it in 3 days. btw (kh spoiler alert) did anybody else love it when you beat demyx and he was like "duuuuuuuuude no way!!!!!!!!!" i found that hilarious

Lost Odyssey: I have been in the mood for a JRPG recently, and my preorder for Star Ocean: The Last Hope Limited Edition hasn't arrived yet. However I have this and never finished it. I am roughly 20 hours into it although my favourite part about the game has nothing to do with the main story line, by this I mean I absolutely love the short stories called Dreams, they are fanatasically written and amazingly scored, with these properties they can be (and usually are) very touching. Well worth getting hold of if you appreciate JRPGs and have a 360

[serweet]

The new Prince of Persia, Lost Odyssey, Street Fighter IV all on the 360, and then I went through CoMI on PC but i got so far just about to get the Sea Cucumber and set sail for Disc 2 but had not saved for an hour or so of gameplay and it crashed (frustrating); and finally Sam and Max: Lincoln Must Die.

And then if it counts, I haev been playing Team Fortress 2 a fair bit.

[corruptbiggins]

Playing The Secret of Monkey Island on my PC and mainly Red Faction Guerrilla on my 360 (with a bit of Left 4 Dead & Fifa 09 thrown in).

[Guy in a Box]

Just started replaying Super Mario Galaxy to gear up for the new one coming up. Damn purple coin quests...

[Armakuni]

Might & Magic 7.

[deadlinejon]

eeh...im waiting for good wiiware game so i can use up ma points.
and i have strongbad on pc.

[Secret Fawful]

I'm currently playing Curse of Monkey Island all the way through, for the first time, without a walkthrough. I'm finding it quite a lot of fun, but really tough too.

[Ry Guy]

I'm working on perfecting my PUNCH-OUT!!! game. Completing the challenges is rough stuff.

[Zeek]

Sims 3.... It was an impluse purchase to satisfy my inner voyuer.

I'm working on perfecting my PUNCH-OUT!!! game. Completing the challenges is rough stuff.
Dude, I can't even get past Soda Popinski in Career mode!

[t_mack]

Sims 3 as well

[patters]

Burnout Paradise: Utterly fantastic game, I tried the demo ages ago, when I did I just didn't like the feel of it and the amount of open space there was (in the same way the beginning of Far Cry 2 did). However I picked the demo up again due to hearing many good things about it, put some effort into it and enjoyed it, I picked up the ultimate box today for £20, which is a pretty good deal as the standard game retails for above £15. The open world system is fantastic and implemented more successfully than the one in Need for Speed Undercover. However it isn't a straight racer, it involves elements similar to platformers to gain 100% completion (launching from a series of ramps to break a billboard or make a super jump).

Star Ocean: The Last Hope: I really want to love this more than I seem to, I really like the combat, I don't mind the weird china doll like character design, there just seems to be something missing which I cannot put my finger on.

[kmoney]

Xbox 360 - Left for dead (can't put this down)
XBL - small arms (not to thrilled with this but i keep playing so I guess it has some appeal)
iPod touch - UniWar, Pocket Gold, Peggle, and Harbor Master (all 99cents and well worth it!)

[yogurtmano86753090]

i just got team fortress 2 and love it its hard to get the weapons though

[Kradath]

GTA4 and Sam and Max Season 2 since today. After GTA I'll replay Fallout 3 again with the first 3 DLCs.

[Ignatius]

Plants vs Zombies.

So cute and addictive.

[glenfx]

Fallout 3, Sims 3, W&G ep3.... (lol all 3ds), and just finished playing TOONSTRUCK for the first time (impresive game i must say)

[Zeek]

Well, my Sim Me electrocuted himself to death, so now I'm back to playing Spore.

[octochan]

Well, I'm playing Psychonauts, but I've just reached the Meat Circus, and for those of you who've played this will understand when I say I'm not sure I'm dedicated enough to try and finish it. And I've only got Ollie to the third platform in the first tent.

[ShaggE]

^ I hear that. I gave up months ago, told myself to just experience the ending via YouTube. The problem is, I still can't muster up the willpower to even watch it. Just thinking about the Meat Circus makes me want to ragequit whatever I'm doing at the moment.

Speaking of ragequit, I'm currently playing Silent Hill: Homecoming (PC version). I love the game so far, but it's WAY too easy to find yourself in a near impossible situation. All I'll say is: Schisms, Siams, and those blade-leg guys I can't remember the name of... RAAAGE! It's also annoying when a Nurse starts one of her stabby-combos and you can't escape. Then there's the glitches...

[Guy in a Box]

I stopped playing at the end of the Basic Braining. The game is really hard to play with just a keyboard and mouse D:

[ShaggE]

That's how I played through it... you can imagine how frustrating *that* was...

[octochan]

That's how I played through it... you can imagine how frustrating *that* was...

WOW
that's hard core. It's really enjoyable as a console game right up to that level. It pisses me off most because you are permitted and encouraged to explore everywhere on all the levels with just some little monsters to bug you. Then they throw that timed thing at you and suddenly you can't do anything else but chase after the little guy as fast as you can jump. And I normally like finding and collecting everything possible, but I can't even begin to imagine how you're supposed to do that in the Meat Circus.

[jared25]

I played Psyconauts on xbox when it actually cost some cash to play it like 50.00 bucks. I do remember the ending being hard but i didn't know it was impossible for some ppl?

Fallout 3 PC: The best of the best. Played for nearly 150 Hours so far. Little violent though.

Infamous PS3: Impressive, especially when he can fall 200 ft without a scratch i almost yell each fall so real.:D

[ShaggE]

I do remember the ending being hard but i didn't know it was impossible for some ppl?


Aye, I get frustrated easily with platformers. I just don't have that pixel-perfect on-the-fly coordination that the harder ones require. (It also makes it very hard for me to use sniper rifles in multiplayer shooters... I can take out a stationary target a pixel wide, but if it moves, I'm done for.)

An example of just how bad I am: I never beat the original Mario Bros., despite having played it since it came out. :o

[Kradath]

Fallout 3 PC: The best of the best. Played for nearly 150 Hours so far. Little violent though.


Fallout withour violence is not fallout. The contrast between these happy 50ies comics and the crazy but happy people all over and the fact what happened their, now with all bunch of crazy, brutal people running around makes this game so unique.

[Homestarlover]

Mario Strickers Charged!
Soooooo much better than the original!

[GozzoMan]

Unfortunately, I have far more games laying around than time to actually play them... and I tend to play a little bit of this a night and a little bit of something else next time :o

Anyhow, I've actually played here and there in the last months:

- Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
- Lego Indiana Jones (Wii)
- Braid (PC)
- Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
- New Super Mario Bros (DS)
- Wild West Guns (Wii)
- Mario Kart Wii
- Wii Sports
- a few small indies on the PC: Little Wheel, Paper Moon...

I played Lego Indiana Jones yesterday evening (around 48%, if memory serves me) and killed the 12th colossus last sunday's night ;)

I've recently finished:
- World of Goo (PC)
- Wallace and Gromit first 3 episodes (PC)

I've pre-ordered:
- Tales of Monkey Island (PC) (of course :D)
- W&G last episode (PC)
- The Conduit (Wii) (in EU will be released on 10 July)
- Wii Sport Resorts

I'm a little disheartened by the reviews I read today of The Conduit, I was really hoping for a Quake-like experience, but while the controls are top-notch, the level design seems to be rather bland, *sigh* :(

I've also have laying around, barely touched at the moment:
- Metrod Prime 3 (Wii) (faaaar too easy, I need to restart it at difficult level)
- The Force Unleashed (Wii) (satisfying but also really cumbersome)
- Psychonauts (PS2) (... I know, I know :o )

[DarkStar Runner]

Red Faction Guerilla.

Super Hammer = PURE WIN AND DESTRUCTION

[the_napoleon]

I've currently playing
-Plants vs. Zombies - One of the most addicting tower defense games I've ever played. Good job Popcap.
-TF2 - I'm currently trying to play more PUGs, plus I'm looking for a competitive team to join.
-Eight Bit Is Enough - I finally got it with my ToMI preorder bonus, and I'm really enjoying it.
-Killing floor - It's L4D with more weapons and worse voice acting. It's also cheaper.

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I. Hate. The Shadow Queen.

Also I just beat Star Fox 2 yesterday. I also started playing it yesterday, but whatever.

[badmonk]

PS3 - infamous
360 - sacred 2, sam & max, fallout 3, castle crashers
Mac - WoW

[werpu]

[Guy in a Box]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I. Hate. The Shadow Queen.

Also I just beat Star Fox 2 yesterday. I also started playing it yesterday, but whatever.

I'm going through that game as well. I got all the way to the X-Naut Fortress last time, then I got bored and started playing something else. This is probably my favorite in the Paper Mario series, because I think it really plays a lot more with the whole paper aesthetic.

[PariahKing]

Tales of Monkey Island.

<_<

[ShaggE]

Just finished Zeno Clash and Ghostbusters (PC version).

Both are great, even if Ghostbusters wasn't exactly... smooth, framerate-wise. But bustin' made me feel good, so that's all that matters. (Any chance of convincing the cast to sign on for an episodic GB adventure series? Preferably including Rick Moranis? And Sigourney Weaver? No? Okay...)

[Soultaker]

I've currently playing
- Plants vs. Zombies - One of the most addicting tower defense games I've ever played. Good job Popcap.

Yes, this is great! Everyone should try it.

[Rubarack]

Just finished Ben There, Dan That, and Time Gentlemen Please. Awesome point and click adventures, old school style.

[der_ketzer]

Sam & Max Season 2. Again.

[Secret Fawful]

I'm working my way through the Dig and Escape From Monkey Island. I tried to play Grim Fandango but it's just SO choppy in cutscenes.

[Bagge]

I'm playing Empire: Total War and ICO at the moment.

[Zeek]

oh and ghostbusters [wii]

I've been meaning to get that game. How is it?

[Guy in a Box]

I got the Wii version of Ghostbusters, I'm liking it pretty well. The animations lag a good bit, the camera controls get pretty wonky every now and then, but other than that, it's good. I'm already on the last section of the game.

EDIT: 600th post :D

Aaaaw :(

Here in Europe its release for all non-Sony platforms is delayed until "late 2009", since Atari gave the publishing to Sony... which clearly doesn't give a sh*t about perusing ultra-despicable business practices :mad:

http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2009/05/sony-will-publish-ghostbusters-game-in-europe/

[Roundheadpolice]

Playing through Half Life 2 for the third time.
I'm halfway through the second Penumbra game. (Bought the series for a few quid on Steam :D)
And always playing TF2 and Insurgency online!
Oh and Football Manager.

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

I just dug out my copy of Metroid Fusion that I haven't played in years. It's a really good game, if just a little creepy.

[Nicke]

World of Warcraft, and soon SMI SE :)

[Psychotron7x2]

Just bought, played and finished SMI:SI yesterday. Very fun game. Also got TMI the day it came out as well.

Mainly, I've been playing Left 4 Dead in versus mode. I got that game only a few weeks ago and I'm totally hooked. When I get bored of that I switch to Grand Theft Auto 4 on PS3 and play Cops n' Crooks. I still have yet to finish Bioshock, haven't touched it in weeks but I should probably see how it ends since I did get quite far.

[purple_monkfish]

Gabriel Knight 2, i'm right near the final confrontation but the annoying death thing made me give up for a while haha. I'll probably go back to it in a few days when I can be bothered fumbling about the woods trying not to get eaten.

Sims 2, because let's face it, it's addictive

Spore, sporadically (oh god, excuse the pun!). I get bored of the space stage and can't be bothered wiping out the bad guys... it's repetative. So I started a new alien instead whoo. Maybe i'll go blow up earth.

Neverwinter Nights 2, which I should go back to. I sorta got distracted by Gabriel Knight.

[GozzoMan]

Last Saturday I got 100% out of Lego Star Wars II on PS2! Yay! :D

And yesterday evening I dug out the DS and unblocked the last secret world of New Super Mario Bros. Of course, once you have saved Peach the real fun begin, being able to save after each level enables you to focus on hunting secrets and go in search of every star and every alternative road... Sheer fun and uber-platforming-power-galore! :D

[smashing]

Just started Secret Files 2 - Puritas Cordis; and cursing about each irritating game elements and puzzles on twitter. At least Nina Kalenkov is more tolerable than Kate Walker.

[ShaggE]

Just finished Silent Hill: Homecoming. Question for the others that finished:

I got the "good" ending, the one you get for killing Alex's mom, and forgiving his dad. This had to be the least satisfying ending in SH history. Are the others any better? I'm loathe to watch them online, in case I ever want to go back to it and earn them legitimately. (But I'll only do that if they're less ridiculous than the one I got...)

[TookiGuy]

Hmmm... Red Faction Guerilla. Fun. :D
GRAW2. Best. Third person. Shooter. Ever. One case where realism can be fun.

[Novotnus]

Well, I'm translating KotOR Solomon's Revange mod. Does it count?

Hey, welcome to the forums. Have you tried looking in the ToMI hints forum? Hints are generally better since they give you a push in the right direction rather than spoil all the fun.

Oh, and on topic, I am currently playing Still Life 2.

There's a very straightforward walkthrough, just be careful not to blitz through the game :)

[taumel]

Wow, i completely missed the Blackwell serie but i took my chance this weekend and i really liked it.

A very old skool 2D point&click adventure, not too hard, more with an episodic length, nice VGA graphics, good music and an interesting story.

There already do exist two parts "The Blackwell Legacy" and "Blackwell Unbound" and part three "The Blackwell Conspiracy" is said to be released this year.

You might want to give it a try at http://www.wadjeteyegames.com/blackwell.htm

KotOR 2.

[Plunder_Bunny]

I just beat the first chapter of TMI - It was good and renewed my faith in Monkey Island. I really disliked EMI.
Rune Factory 2 - yeah, so it's a farming simulation game with dungeon crawling and vague similarities to dating sims, but it's fun!
Guitar Hero II: Nothing like pretending you can play the guitar to boost your ego!

[Badwolf]

I'm not playing anything at the minute, apart from having the odd ten minutes or so on DROD every so often.

I've been watching my bro play a lot of Disgaea 3 though lately if that counts for anything.

[Alf Fly]

Yikes. Okay, here goes:

Fallout 3
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
Left 4 Dead
City of Heroes
Fifa 09
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Chrono Trigger DS
Gears of War (in co-op as Dom, to get the Achievements)
Puzzle Kingdoms
Deus Ex (again)
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest: Chapters of the Chosen
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Plants Vs Zombies
Audiosurf (which I will never stop playing, if I can help it)
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Bejewelled Twist
Plus I've just claimed Fright of the Bumblebees as my free game for buying Launch of the Screaming Narwhale at launch, so I've got that to work through now too.

All of which proves that I should really concentrate on finishing a few games now and again. :D

[ShaggE]

^ ... Hot damn. Also, agreed on Audiosurf. Whenever I get a new album, I have to Audiosurf it. :p

I'm currently playing Burnout Paradise (PC). Great fun. I love hunting down the unlockable cars that drive around. I just wish it supported custom soundtracks instead of having to run WMP in the background.
If I have to hear that damn Kerli song one more time, I'm going to *edit* a large *edit* *edit* *edit* cell phone *edit* *edit* Presbyterian *edit* *edit* *edit* thighmaster in an *edit* *edit* doggie bag.

[GozzoMan]

Super Mario Sunshine (for GameCube, on Wii)

I love it! I played it too on the Wii... The GC gamepad is one of the best ever, very satisfying. In fact I found the experience as a whole far more satisfying than Super Mario Galaxy, at least for the moment (haven't finished them yet: and I played SMS far more than SMG.)

someone has done some steam buyin
i rented ghostbusters for the wii.really good game graphics suck and the camera could be better though

[britt12334]

Escape From monkey island- it was definitely the worst of all the series but i did like the puzzles. the storyline contradicted past games and the controls sucked.
Prince of Persia- fun but not great again probably worst of the series although alot better that Escape. the backrounds were pretty cool.
Sam and Max Season- Very fun,funny and entertaining. The puzzles were fun but not too hard or too easy. i like all the character especially max. And i like the storyline. Probably my favorite of these three games.:)
Secret of Monkey islandjust started today and its been pretty awesome. just noticed the max costume in the costume shop

[Alf Fly]

^ ... Hot damn. Also, agreed on Audiosurf. Whenever I get a new album, I have to Audiosurf it. :p


I'm exactly the same. Someone took my two favourite hobbies - gaming and music - and mixed them up together into a beautiful whole. It's one of my top three games EVAR.

someone has done some steam buyin


Shucks, was it that obvious? ;)

[StrongBadinator]

FiNALLY finished Jak II, though I already beat jak 3 like a year ago. Lookin forward to the fall, cuz there's a new one comin out.

[Plunder_Bunny]

Escape From monkey island- it was definitely the worst of all the series but i did like the puzzles. the storyline contradicted past games and the controls sucked.


I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way... I was really nervous about Tales of Monkey Island, because I was so disappointed with Escape From Monkey Island.

I think the controls were the same as Grim Fandango, but for some reason they were really awful in EMI.

[Homestarlover]

The Munchables. Preety fun.

[elaine treepwood]

Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood, CSI: Hard Evidence (finished it a day or two ago), GTA China Town Wars

[der_ketzer]

Kings Quest I - III the free VGA remakes.

[Megaloman]

Right now I'm playing The Shivah, a really good dialogue based adventure game by Wadjet Eye Games (the same company that made the Blackwell series). Seems like it's very short and the puzzles so far have been really easy, but the writing is truly excellent and believable!

[Zeek]

Wii Sports Resort

It's just as exhausting as the original title that came free, but well worth the price. I particularly like the sword play game that came with it, though I can live without the canoing game. I stink like month-old cabbage at the 3-point Challenge basketball game, however.

[smashing]

I decided to put Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis on hiatus indefinitely. It is not good at all in my books, with nothing to offer other than pure inventory puzzle. The character isn't even memorable.

Decided instead to start Mata Hari 2 hours back, and WOW! I was so blown away by the background, the characters and the dialogues. Even the puzzle doesn't come across as old. The producer of Indiana Jones still have that kick in them!

Now, I'm just gonna try finishing it up soonish.

[Zachspyfox033]

The Blackwell Convergence

[Kord]

Secret of Monkey islandjust started today and its been pretty awesome. just noticed the max costume in the costume shop

The costume shop would be rather in in LeChuck's Revenge, I guess, not in the first game.

BTW, in the old Secret of Monkey Island, is that Max in the picture in the Scumm Bar kitchen? Looks a bit like it.
(BTW, I thought the SE of the game we ok, but the original is much more playable with the verb interface close by...., and for me personally, the old graphics had a real feel-good effect to me, whereas the new ones looked a bit...je ne sais quoi, and the dialogue was not as I had imagined it for 20 years, :mad: lol, I guess I am too old for this :) )

Call Of Juarez Bound In Blood - Best western on the PC.

Fable 2 (Xbox 360)

Skies of Arcadia Legends (Gamecube... although I'm playing it on my wii)
Tales of Phantasia- Fan Translation (SNES-ROM) *I have the GBA version... but the translation sucked*

I am currently playing 3 skulls of the toltecs, which is the prequel to the westerner (wanted: a wild western adventure), 3 skulls is the first in the Fenimore Fillmore series of games. You can find links here.

http://game-s-freak.blogspot.com/2007/11/free-download-3-skulls-of-toltecs.html
Download the 5 part rar, forget the other version. Mount the folder and run install from dosbox then run 3skulls.bat or you may not be able to get sound. Copy the english.pdi folder into the installed folder with 3skulls.bat for the next time you play, mount the installed folder next time you play.

Also I have been playing the Valhalla games. I used to love playing these on the Amiga. Get them from here and support the company. The first episode is free to try out.

Was playing some old Dreamcast games the other day, Shenmue, Sonic Adventure International Edition. Also was going to restart Skies of Arcandia on GC, but I never did. Oh well, was playing Sid Meier's Pirates yesterday, since it was only of the only games i've reinstalled since Vista was wiped. xD

I cracked out the old DS games recently (I bought the new green DS lite that came with a purse-thing and cooking trainer game. The irony of this amuses me greatly.)

I found myself playing "Battle of Giants: Dinosaurs" by Ubisoft. It was a gamble, I wasn't sure if it would be a good game or not.
But I LOVE it.

You have a little dinosaur, you drag him around the screen to explore, attack other dinosaurs, and drink water. It's like this game was MADE for me.

It's a fan-made remake of Maniac Mansion with improved graphics and DOTT-like interface.

I'm going to one-up the pair of you and actually include a link to it! Here you go. (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=401) LucasFan actually had to shut down over this game, which is a shame.

I'm now playing:
Half-Life mods (still)
Secret Agent Clank (PS2)
Asterix at the Olympic Games (Wii)

[Badwolf]

I'm playing Disgaea DS, eventually Disgaea 3 once they get the trophy patch and DLC out here.

Went through Monkey Island 2 on easy mode yesterday, because I'd heard Wally puts out a candle in an amusing way and had to see for myself. It's amazing how it misses out nearly every puzzle in easy (beat it in about 40 minutes).

And I might buy Shatter off the PSN soon.

Just started playing Mata Hari and it is gorgeous so far. Not much of an adventure game in regards to the puzzles, but still, it looks and plays amazingly well.

As always, I am trying to beat Valkyria Chronicles for the PS3 but it seems to eat up a whole day from my life as soon as I sit down with it, so it rarely happens.

I'm now playing:
Half-Life mods (still)

research and development :tup:

[ShaggE]

Picked up Rock Band (disc) for a paltry ten-spot today. :D Now I just need a drumset and mic. The headset works fine, but the delay is annoying.

Can't wait to start building up my DLC collection. I've got my eye on those RHCP tracks...

[Rawr]

Been playing Left 4 Dead again recently. Fun teaming up in Versus. :p

[S@bre]

* Age of Chivarly, a Source mod up on Steam
* Empire: Total War, currently unpatriotically shooting my own people as the upstart Americans.

I'm just after playing through Heart of the Alien, the sequel to Another World. (Out of this World) It could have been as good as the first with a little work. On top of that they killed off the main character from the first game, ensuring no more sequels. Another World in a 3d environment would be awesome, just don't mention the sequel to Flashback, made in the experimental days of 3d. Get Heart of the Alien here. http://interlinkknight.googlepages.com/downloads

Now I am playing Drascula - The Vampire Stikes back. From the makers of Murder in the Abbey and Clever and Smart.

Aquaria, Oblivion, Trackmania, TF2-idling and waiting for ToMI Ep.2.

[jamiehavok]

at the moment - age of conan off and on, mirrors edge, farcry 2, call of duty 5 and the od bash at crysis wars.

X³: Terran Conflict, Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers, Ceville

[Marill]

PS2: Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 1 - quite a dark rpg, it's a little cruel (one slip up and you can get pwned quickly) but a lot of fun, just like all the other Megaten games I've played. I'm in an old castle, just solved the prince potrait puzzle.

PSP: Recently finished the Japanese version of Dissidia Final Fantasy. I started a new game on Star Ocean 2, but I have a feeling it'll be dumped when the English version of Dissidia appears in a few weeks. Awesome action rpg (sensing a theme yet?)

DS: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 - I started this ages ago and left it for Pokemon Platinum and FF4. Up to the Crystal Cave I think it is. I forgot how addicting this game can be.

Xbox360: Star Ocean the Last Hope - Gorgeous game, love it. I'm supposed to be off to En II but I'm caught up in the Colosseum working on Battle Trophies. ^_^

[Badwolf]

Picked up Uncharted cheap the other day, so I've been playing through that again.
Littlebigplanet's still getting a good hour or so every day.
Disgaea DS I've just hit the 25 hours mark on, bit stuck at the minute though.
Prinny, I'm giving up on for a while because my nerves can't take any more, and I should be doing work anyway.
I'm close to playing Curse of Monkey Island again, but I should really get this work done before I start any more games.
And I was playing Dragon Quest VIII but I'm a tad stuck on that too, near the end.

[City Of Delusion]

*points at sig*

[Norah]

Siege of Spinner Cay (adventure), Fallen Earth (MMO), Mass Effect (RPG), The Witcher (RPG), and The Path (Art/Adventure)

[wefeelgroove]

I've been going back and forth between Beyond Good & Evil and Left 4 Dead, although recently it's been more L4D because the Slaughterhouse level in BG&E is really annoying.

And now I have Siege of Spinner Cay too! :D

[ReDi]

Driving GT Legends (league racing) is a constant factor.

Picked up the Half Life 2 series recently, finished EP2 last weekend.

Installed Siege of Spinner Cay yesterday, so I'll be spending some free time on that now :)

[yogurtmano86753090]

still just tf2 but on tuesday im getting 203 of s&m

[Tyraa Rane]

Currently playing MI1: SE, Oblivion (RPG), and trying to finish Plants vs. Zombies (collecting the last few Steam achievements). Guild Wars (MMO) off and on.

I really need to finish HL2 one of these days, too.

[patters]

Shadow Complex: A great game with the mechanics, the story itself is dreadful. I want the game to be brighter and more colourful, which generally doesn't happen in Unreal engine 3 games, unless you are Mirror's Edge.

Street Fighter IV: I still suck at fighting games, this is no exception. However with my recent purchase of a stick my game has noticeably improved.

Marvel VS Capcom 2: Been playing a lot of this with a friend who is into fighters. I am better at this than with SF4 but not yet god enough to play many other people. Again using a stick has definitely improved my game.

[Scrawffler]

At this exact moment in time I'm watching my brother playing Spore.

Otherwise, besides ToMI I've mostly just been playing old games on an Amiga emulator! (my real Amiga hasn't been set up for years but I still love the games)

[Harpalyce]

Just finished Seige of Spinner Cay, so now it's on to...

Strong Bad - Baddest of the Bands

Fallout 3

World of Warcraft (of course)

Puzzle Pirates (on occasion)

[patters]

Mass Effect: Replaying along the Renegade path as a woman, the female actor seems to fit the role really quite well. The dialogue paths and options are some of the best in any game which I have played, in this respect it seems like those in an adventure game, but better. Some of the combat is frustrating with my character being of a low level at the moment.

[yogurtmano86753090]

goin to get l4d soon so yea

[Badwolf]

I just borrowed Fallout 3 off my bro's friend. Having fun so far, just got out of the vault and into Megaton.

The manual's printed upside down though, with the cover the other way round from the stuff inside, so I'm tempted to sell it off as a collector's item. Not that I would, but it's tempting.

[parkerlindsey]

Currently I am playing delta force, Mario and Contra.

[OCKi]

I just finished Batman; Arkham Asylum - and are now playing Mata Hari and Drawn; The Painted Tower!

Really recommend the newly released Drawn: TPT.
It really is one of the most beautiful adventuregames I have ever played! Check it out! :)
