So, what're you playing?

[Hanzii]

Civ4, Civ4 and Civ4.

and to the new parents above: I'm home on a three months (paid) paternity leave minding the 6 month old, while the missus start work again. They do sleep... a lot, just not at the times you'd like them too. And games like Civ and WoW can be played only using one hand (just remember to tell you guildies, that you're not rude, just holding an infant, when you don't answer them in chat!)

[Yegolev]

I played GuildWars one-handed quite a bit.  It's not much more difficult than with two.

I never found the avatars that attractive in Guildwars.

Heh. From my brain to your keyboard.

[Samwise]

I've been playing    a lot.  Yesterday I picked up The Movies and spent 4 hours on it before I knew what had happened.  Sim games are dangerous for me.  I also picked up Kirby's Canvas Curse, which is more fun than I thought it would be.  It doesn't exactly suck me in the way The Movies is, but it's a good way to waste a few minutes here and there.

Will probably play more    again once they    .

[Samprimary]

urban dead.

Nothing else :(

[Samwise]

I forgot to mention Urban Dead for some reason.  I'm playing that one quite a bit too.  It's the only one I can play at work.

[Kenrick]

'Tis still a very lame season for games that I'm interested in playing.  I had hopes for AoEIII, but the demo completely turned me off.  I'm still just playing halflife 2 deathmatch.   

[Roac]

Civ4, Civ4 and Civ4.

Bit late, but:  Civ3, Civ3, and Civ3.  Unfortunately I'm having to sit on buying 4, because it may well turn out to be a Christmas present.  So in a moment of frustration, I decided to take it out on a less sophisticated world.  Oh well.  My Frenchie army just wiped out the Germans (ha!).  Next, Persia. 

[Hoax]

I'll take your HL DM and raise it Kenrick!

I'm playing mostly Gunz, because its like DDR+fps and that is funny by itself.  Actually I am just happy to be playing fps I was totally going to be Q4 then it turned out to suck.  I've been really wanting to try out CS:S and play/buy(?) some of the better mods but I really really am not a fan of CS and dont want to end up playing it again because its just SOO FUCKING OLD.

My waiting list of games is in the sig, I'll definately try the mess that is SWG after the next hotfix (which should break more things) and CoV is always a possibility if Gunz somehow gets ruined and I really need a game.

[Jain Zar]

Ive been playing Mario Kart DS this week.

Next week should be Dragon Quest 8 for the PS2, and Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands for the N Gage. 

[Rasix]

Legend of Heroes for the PSP and Fallout: Tactics for the PC.  Fallout: Tactics is such a blast, it's a shame it was(is) so buggy.

Legend of Heroes so far is pretty good.  I've got a couple gripes though: a) it takes too long to get the story going and b) it's got some pretty bad Engrish in parts due to a half assed translation job.  Besides that, it's got a cool battle system, a nifty pet gimmick (I've got a bunny!), and some really solid visuals.  It's old school in a FF2 or FF3 way.  It's not really knocking my socks off, but it's shaping up to be a solid RPG offering on a platform that really needed it.

[Special J]

Console: Just got Soul Calibur III, so my evening will consist of having a buddy over for some vs. battles while we demolish a bottle of liquor.

PC: Been dabbling a little with Civ3 with all the Civ hype going around lately.

MMOG: WoW and Magic Online.  Though neither as much lately. Only got a little time to go around for gaming so one gets played at the expense of the others.

My dirty little secret is that I'm saving myself for Vanguard.

[Johny Cee]

PC:

Civ 4
Magic Online (Ravinica League and Rav drafts)
Just got done a kick of Majesty (am I the only one that loves this game??) and EU
On a DaoC vacation.

Xbox:

Rented X-men Legends.  Actually was alot of fun.

Jean Grey is completely broken as a character.  Pick her and whatever utility powers you need, like Cyclops if you need to weld or Iceman if there are fires to put out, and go to town.

[Merusk]

  My Frenchie army just wiped out the Germans (ha!).

One of my favorite things to do thus far in Civs 4 is race to be the founder of Judaism and then destroy the Germans.  (I always get them.. and it's always Bismark.  Same with Egypt and France with Louis XIV.. I don't get it. NEW OPPONENTZ PLZ MR KONPUTAR.)

[penfold]

Mainly Soul Calibur III on the ps2, but also re-playing some of the COD2 levels.

Also have Jade Empire on the xbox and  a bunch of PC games I havent finished. D3 ROE, LOTR battle for middle earth, splinter cell chaos theory.

[naum]

Back to WoW after a six month hiatus… …started new characters on a less populated server, playing a Dwarf Hunter, Human Priest & Human Warlock, new game for me in a sense since previously all my /played (though I never hit the end game, just ~40 for several characters) was on Horde side. Previous to the time sink of WoW, still playing Dominions II (and waiting for Dominions III).

On XBOX, World Series of Poker and EA NCAA 2006 or whatever its called…

[Tebonas]

Galactic Civilization 2. Still not ready, but I quite like to fool around with the parts that are there already. Was watching how far along the beta is and was drawn in by it.

[voodoolily]

I need a new game to play. Just finished Castlevania Curse of Darkness, and I'll finish Beyond Good and Evil in a half hour. I might pick Metroid Prime Echos up again, since I got it for CHristmas last year and only spent 2 hours on it. Been feeling kinda meh about most of what I have now. Oh! I did find a copy of Siren for $12, but I don't know if I wanna frustrate myself (heard the wonky controls make it unduly difficult).

[schild]

I picked it up for $2 last year at the Toys R Us yellow dot sale. And it's still too difficult for me to beat more than 3 missions. But what it's trying to do is really, really neat. I wish I could struggle through it.

[voodoolily]

Games like that (cool, stunning, but too hard) are usually what boyfriends are for. But if it's too much for even the Mighty Mr. Schild, it might be too much. Isn't there some trick or cheat or something to make it playable (just so you can see everything)?

Yes, hire a Korean or Japanese guy to do it, while you videotape. It may be a little weird, but you're in San Francisco. Can't be that hard.

[voodoolily]

I'm in Portland. The only Koreans I know own convenience stores and send their kids to college in Chicago. The Japanese boys look at me funny because I smile too big when I see them.

[Megrim]

Oh a similar note, has anyone finished Ikaruga?

I haven't, but I've watched people finish it. On video. That's the same, rite?

I have.  I played the hell out of that game.  I wonder if it's still around here somewhere... sounds fun again.

i felt i should add the following: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/

[Ironwood]

Finished FEAR and am now playing Thief 3 and X3.  I have a thing for 3's.

WoW also, natch, and I'm thinking of downloading the MASSIVE free trial of CoH.

I'd forgotten how tremendously boring Thief 3 was at the start.  Defo a builder, that game.


Edited to Add :  Those of you who are playing Urban Dead - How the hell are you managing it ?  I have 5 toons, and all save one are now shambling undead.  I really don't think you ever get enough TU's to actually do anything worthwhile !

(Though if you are playing, lookout for Jimmy Smit, Undead Slayer extraordinaire.  Oh, and revive him if he's been infected....)

[Yegolev]

Not much time, but dividing it between Stubbs, Radiata and Dungeon Siege II.  Taking time off of HL2 due to bossmonsteritis.

[HaemishM]

What scant, rare, little time I've had for gaming lately has been all about The Movies, though I did play some Fear in the week or so before The Movies came out.

[voodoolily]

Whee! I'm so glad that I ignored Metroid Prime Echoes last year (when Katamari Damacy was cracking me out) 'cuz now I'm playing it for the first time (past three hours, anyway) and is teh funz.

I stopped at Quadraxis.  I know how to beat him, but my bossmonsteritis is flaring up.  Also: it is awesome.
