Trying to give RDR a chance. Found a few treasures, cleared a few bandit hideouts. Put it on easy so it auto aims, helpful since the 'reticule' is a tiny fucking white dot I can't see half the time. Put it aside after many, many tries to capture and break a wild horse. Their instructions suck so bad. Want to shoot all horses in the face. I'm stubborn enough to give it one more play session, then I'm on to something else.

It's not a super fast paced game. Lots of exploration is involved.

Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 has already been worth the 10 bucks and I've had it all of three days, glad I picked that up. We should consider organizing some kind of f13 tournament or something if enough people buy it.

Don't fuck with the horse breaking bullshit, just buy a good one and you can resummon it at will. Seriously, skip it and enjoy the rest of the excellent story.

Yeah I know. I've just played so many fast paced games lately that it was kind of jarring. I need to just power through this first part and i'll get used to it.

Doom and X-Com from Steam. (Download the latest dosbox)
I hate reloading missions in X-Com. It's not optimum strat, but if anyone survives a mission, I take the win. Makes my games a real meatgrinder.
And Doom's level design is just so good. It makes modern games look retarted.

Record of Agarest War: Zero. I wish there were more of the dating sim elements (which is the same complaint I had with the first one), but otherwise it's a solid SRPG. This one also doesn't have a difficulty setting which should help me stick with it; I had set the first one on Hard for a challenge, then dropped the game when the difficulty forced me to grind excessively.

Trenched continues to entertain solo, despite the "oh this game is only fun multi" comments I've heard many times. My son is also really into it, so that's a bonus.
Still working on my Infamous 2 second playthrough as evil, going slower, playing every 2-3 days or so.
Witcher 2 second playthrough progress has also slown down due to ... ugh I hate to admit, but resubbed back to WoW after Rift totally lost my interest.

How is Infamous 2. I loved the first one, but haven't gotten around to getting to 2 yet.

I just found out D&D: Daggerdale was released a couple days ago. Anyone try it yet? I searched the forums, but only found two posts about it, referring to it as kinda meh. But those posts were like a month ago, so I'm confused.

Playing through Alice: Madness Returns. I picked it up based on some good word of mouth. Pretty great so far, it has a really detailed and colorful art-style, which is a nice change of pace from most games I've played recently. Other than that it feels like a PS2-gen platformer with decent combat and responsive controls. The only critique I have is that the levels are a bit long-winded, but that's negated pretty well by the amount of new art you are constantly running into.

Played the Daggerdale demo on the 360. Didn't bother to finish.
Gave up on RDR. Realized I was playing out of stubbornness rather than enjoyment.
Started on Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom. Enjoying it so far. The AI partner is well-behaved. After Witcher 2 then RDD I'm delighted to be playing a game with decent controls again.

Play Fallout 3 for the second time. I bought an XBOX 360 in November and I find myself actually rebuying games for the XBOX because I enjoy gaming on it more than on my PS3. Bought via games on demand. No disc swapping, great controller. Next will be Fallout New vegas for the second time (Hopefully by this time with less bugs).

I just found out D&D: Daggerdale was released a couple days ago. Anyone try it yet? I searched the forums, but only found two posts about it, referring to it as kinda meh. But those posts were like a month ago, so I'm confused. My son got this on Xbox back when it was first released in May. It;s basically Dark Alliance done in the 4E engine, but overall, I was not impressed at all. The combat pace in particular is too punishing; playing as a duo (fighter and mage) it was not uncommon to be fighting groups of 8-10 every fight. Many of them were minions, but thrown in there were the other "class" archtypes od 4E (controllers, ranged guys, brutes, skulks, etc), but the targeting and screen display may it hard to figure out who was who and do any sort of target prioritization. Plus, they really restricted healing potions (stores would only sell 5 at a time before having to restock) and lack of decent equipment made deaths rather common. But you could cheese that too - if a character goes down, the other character just has to run by their body and hit the revive command to have them pop up with like 15% health. I can't tel you how many fighters we had to use that as the plan since we were quickly out of potions deep in a tunnel. Expanding on the crappy equipment, yes it has fully randomized loot, but as well all have seen, truly randomized loot generation leads to 99% crap. What the hell kind of D&D fighter starts the game in cloth armor, no shoes, helmet or other gear, with a short sword and a buckler? Add to that the glacial leveling pace which mean new abilities come very slowly, and odd design choices like characters warping to close proximity to each other when they become too seperated and the whole play experience was just not good. My son and I made it to about level 3 and just havent wanted to play anymore, still stuck in those stupid dwarf mines fighting goblins and skeletons. Try the demo, but overall dont bother.

I made it farther into Daggerdale. The reason my team has not played anymore is because there are glitches which occasionally cause loss of skills and equipment.

Grabbed the new Claptrap DLC for Borderlands, only to discover that after reinstalling a while ago, I didn't move over my saves. So I'm playing through the whole damn thing again.

How is Infamous 2. I loved the first one, but haven't gotten around to getting to 2 yet. I just finished all there is to do in Infamous 1 good side (all blast shards, dead drops, upgrades, story). I'm mixing my time between running a Hard Evil Infamous 1 and a Good Infamous 2. I'm roughly 2 hours into I2. It plays pretty much like the first one. I don't like the new Cole in look or voice. Not enough to kill the game or anything, but the change was not needed. I also don't like the arbitrary 'beast is 1345 miles away' messages I get, because they only tell me how close to the end of the game I'm getting. Or... how short the game is, to be exact. I bitch a lot about it, but it's a stellar game. They just made some changes to the format that didn't need to happen. Less is more, in the case of Infamous. I like that I retained a good portion of my abilities from I1, like static thrusters.

Finally picked up the Magic game on Steam over the weekend, and ground through the first half of the campaign or so. Played some MP with bhodi and Furiously tonight- that was pretty fun. Looking forward to finding a 4th and getting some 2headed giant games going.

I don't know if you've been reading the LP on SA but, I am pretty fucking freaked out that I missed Cloud getting his sh*t pushed in in that game when I played it.

Been playing Outland and MtG:2012 on PSN. My favorite title on GameCube was Ikaruga, so Outland is great since I'm more into fantasy stuff now. Sleek, fun and colorful, and only $10 (I've converted to using PSN cards purchased as CVS harhar).
I picked up the new MtG on sale with the PSN sub service. Sticky and my play sessions are hella long. Hard difficulty pisses me off sometimes, like in Tetris when you can never seem to get the long stick to drop. I'm wondering how much I'll play once the campaign is finished. Lack of customization probly means: not much.

Still working on Agarest 0; also WoW now that 4.2 is live. I'm glad they added some solo stuff to do when we're not raiding this time, and I really hope we don't get another mid-tier patch of reskinned heroics before the next real patch.

AC Brotherhood. Pretty slick, but the meta-game seems to be gradually taking over the game... I find it amusing that this year I've played ME1/2 and AC2/BH - and both of them had to go and change a perfectly-good control scheme mid-story.

I'm playing Witcher 2 and one minute I'm loving it and then I'm screaming obscenities at the monitor. God, how is it possible to make such an incredible RPG world, yet have the combat be so pants on head retarded?
