So, what're you playing?

[Morfiend]

Quit WoW, again.

Currently playing Darksiders and Dante's Inferno, also some Global Agenda. Contemplating reactivating my AoC sub to do a little PVP but, meh, who knows on that one.

I think my next purchases will be Heavy Rain and Mass Effect 2.

[Rasix]

I'll be surprised if you like Heavy Rain.  Curious though.  Do buy.

Why would you be surprised?

I played the demo and loved it.

[Hawkbit]

In the middle of:

ME2
Star Ocean PS3
White Knight Chronicles
Assassin's Creed 1

On the wing:

Heavy Rain
Demon's Souls (again) - does it ever really get put down?
DA:O
GoW Collection
Assassin's Creed 2

Too many games, too little time.  Also trying to find time for WoW... gotta get my toon(s) ready for Cat.

Might have your tastes confused with someone else. Thought you ran more toward the shootery stuff.   Anyhow, if you loved the demo, I don't see why you wouldn't love the game.

Can't go wrong with either game you mentioned, really.

[jakonovski]

I bought the game. It's awesome, but...

[Hawkbit]

Label spoilers, dude.  Also, move it to the Heavy Rain thread.

Buh? I did?

My bad for clicking on the wrong thread though.

[Yegolev]

Did I mention my set already?

Playing...
Shadowhearts Covenant : Is there really a mine leading from Southampton to Cardiff?

White Knight Chronicles : i maed a town
I am surprised that I get so little space for the "Adventure Journal".  Not sure how I am supposed to regale anyone with exploits.  Also, I am dismayed that I cannot photograph my own ass.

Listening...
Here Comes the Science

Vangelis on Pandora

Reading...
EMC V-MAX literature.  Yeah, why?  The things I do with it look the same as on a DMX.

Still working on The Two Towers, will need to remember to take it on vacation.  And my DS for in case I injure myself skiing.

[Ironwood]

Captive.  About to rescue Trill and have kitted out everyone with Boosters and Ironhide armor.

[fuser]

Taking a break from WoW for BC2 on PC.

Launch day multiplayer was crap but it was a fair bit stabler last night. Name is binfuser on EA's network.

I do like me some shooters. But I think of myself more as an equal opportunity gamer. Ill try almost anything and probably enjoy it if its high quality. The only type of games I really tend to stay away from are the sports games, like madden.

BTW. I think Darksiders was very underrated. I am throughly enjoying it, although the difficulty curve can be a bit wonky at times.

[murdoc]

I've mowed through all the boss fights so far, but keep getting stuck in rooms that generate 3-4 waves of bad guys.

Love the game though, they did a good job NOT making a GoW clone which I was worried it would be.

Thats funny. Its the opposite for me. I have been getting through the waves fairly easily, but that Bat boss had me suck for several hours.

Hm. More or less going to be done with Mass Effect 2 in two weeks. I've a Paragon run to start. So, anyone can recommend a decent single player RPG to kill time with? If not, I guess I'll try Tropico 3. 3D doesn't look appealing, but it sounds fun being a dick-tator. President Shepard 

[Rasix]

Recent? I have no idea what you've played or what platforms/types you like.

Witcher or VTM: Bloodlines fit a nice couple week period.  Morrowind or Oblivion are good if you don't care if you finish the game or not... because you won't (care that is).

Finished Witcher. Kinda terribad action sequences and laughable voice acting, but otherwise epic enough. VTM Bloodlines, I can't muster the effort to replay it after finishing Ventrue gunslinger and Toreador Blood Mage. Morrowind > Played to death, hated the combat but I explored a lot, fucking Cliff Racers. Oblivion ...meh after months of mod playing, I think I've drained every fun out of it. Fallout 3 fell under the same category.

I don't play console anyway. Dragon Age replay maybe. I didn't feel like I did enough for an Expansion save port but I quit my Rogue half way after the Landsmeet due to lack of challenge maybe.

[Sky]

Risen? Ego Draconis? Sacred 2? Torchlight?

I've got Gothic 3 slated for another run with fan patches before I tackle Risen.

[Malakili]

Dawn of War II - Having fun with this again.  I'm generally awful at RTS games, but the Star Craft 2 beta starting and the expansion Chaos Rising coming out got me excited about the genre again.  Getting my butt kicked fairly often online, but having fun anyway.

Bad Company 2 - Having an absolute blast with this.  Its really a fantastic shooter and one of the best new shooters I've played in years.

[Comstar]

Dragon Age: Origins, trying to like doing a Sword and Shield fighter. Though the Fade levels have sort of killed it.

Mass Effect 2: Need to do a FemShep Renegade playthrough with FemShep from ME1.

Napoleon: Total War. Finished Italy and Egypt. Stuck trying to the Prozen Heights or Keep Vienna from 5 star veteran peasant revolts, or *find* anyone else who wants to play online. So far I've got one game - he said "no rules" at the start. Oh, and I have to play French "because it's confusing" otherwise. I make a balanced 2 Brigade army, ignore omnipresent, omniscient and inevitable 4 rocket battery (WTF, though things are better than Katusha Rockets and have a 10mile range AND can target MOVING calvary) and match up to his camp on his startline and shoot him to pieces with my line infantry.. He ran the remains of his army into buildings and kicked me out of the game when I started shelling it with cannons.

[Quinton]

Mass Effect 1:  How'd I miss this when it first came out?  BioWare ARPG in Spaaaaace!  Loving the visual design, nifty (if primarily bipedal humanoid) aliens, solid story and voice acting, and so on.

[Draegan]

Canceled WOW again.

Playing Global Agenda and just got BF:BC2.

One of these days I'll plug in my 360 again and finally finish Bioshock, Assassin's Creed and ME1.  I've been tempted to buy a PS3 in the last two weeks but I've held out.

[Rasix]

I'm in a weird sort of flux right now.  I don't want to start anything because I'm still unsure about whether or not I want to get FFXIII. 

Bored with WoW, so I do my daily dungeon and go read or something. Maybe I'll work on my  renegade FemShep run through ME2.   

[stray]

^Same here. Finished AC2 and have shit to play... but I might embrace my inner geek and pick up FFXIII at midnight. Never done that before. Could be exciting! 

[Morfiend]

Ok, time for advice. What should I buy next?

Mass Effect 2
Bioshock 2
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Heavy Rain
Uncharted 2

Not much of a shooter fan and a return to rapture doesn't really appeal to me until it's bargain priced.  You'll get the most bang for your buck with ME2 and (IMO) the most fun with Uncharted 2.

[trias_e]

The Void has sucked away my soul.  It's really, really good for 20 bucks.

Also, trying to learn Street Fighter 4 as Guile and Fei Long.  Yes, I am a masochist.  On PC, which unfortunately means there's somewhat of a lack of players online, but I still can get games reasonably often.

Finally playing through The Witcher.  After playing Dragon Age, The Witcher is a fascinating game to play.  It almost seems as if Bioware shameleslly ripped off some of The Witcher's ideas, such as racial politics playing a strong role and more emphasis on choices between factions.  However, while The Witcher has none of the polish or presentation...perhaps it has a little more substance.  Certainly it's less clean, more gritty.  But there's more than that, although I can't put my finger on it.  I'm really enjoying it, although admittedly after Dragon Age it's hard to stomach the repeated character models and voice actors.

[Soln]

quit LotRO for the next weeks/months

started my EQ2 mouse again, which with the refer-a-friend program for my wife at 300% extra XP was   but with the added grouping port and 55% faster free mount is  

[Azazel]

Ok, time for advice. What should I buy next?

Mass Effect 2
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Uncharted 2

A "deep" RPG.
A shooter that's both good in it's own right as a SP shooter, and the gift that keeps on giving in MP.
Action-Adventure fun.

[Velorath]

About halfway through God of War 2 now in anticipation of God of War 3's release in a week.  Think I finished the game twice shortly after its release and hadn't played it since so there are a lot of parts I've forgotten.  Also, last time I played it was on a much smaller SD TV.

[Tarami]

Stalker: Call of Pripyat. The best (and least buggy) one yet but sadly also the easiest. I just love the atmosphere.

[Falconeer]

Global Agenda, my assault gal reached 18 and finally got a flaming rocket launcher who works like magic.

Heavy Rain, PS3 is in my son's room so I can only play when he's asleep or out.

Aion, grinding 3 mobs (sometimes 4) each day. I am taking it slowly.

[Xuri]

I'm currently playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2's server browser.

[Sky]

started my EQ2 mouse again,

I also resubbed to EQ2, not sure I'm going to get into it this time, mostly checking the 3d implementation since the devs were recently posting about it.

Still mostly Tomb Raider Underworld and trying to play Anno 1404 which is being crashy in Windows 7.

Tried Medieval 2 now that it works on my monitor: fiancee likes it but I just don't like RTS (or the camera controls). I was going through the tutorial with her watching and was ready to quit, but she was interested so I slogged through charging cavalry at everyone.

[AcidCat]

The Just Cause 2 demo.

If you like sandbox over-the-top action, you REALLY need to check it out.
