So, what're you playing?

[Sky]

FFH2 as Sheaim, my first play as an evil civ. Enjoying the planar gate (here, have two free mages early in the game!) and the diseased and exploding units. Also like that for once I don't have to worry too much about the armageddon clock.

I did have some raging barbarians that stunted my early expansion and tech. Wiped out a couple settlers, even with guards (goddamned spider), bunch of workers (yay slavery!) and then I had to focus on military for while...then the motherlovin' red dragon plopped down on my southern coast. Sonofa...

[Yegolev]

LotRO
Last Remnant
Guild Wars, no expansions
Mana Khemia
Animal Crossing: City Folk

[Signe]

I bought the brand new Mana Khemia but I haven't tried it yet.  I'm still playing Eternal Poison and a wee tiny bit of WoW.

[Yegolev]

I also bought the new Mana Khemia.  It is propped up on a shelf so I see it every time I go into the pantry.

[rk47]

Replayed Ultima Underworld 2 on DOSbox it's as good as I remembered despite an awkward hour of sewer critter bashing beneath LB's castle, it started to pick up when I had to run from Gazers and Reapers. Wish they had mad a full screen mod for it.

[Brogarn]

I'm still playing LotRO while anxiously awaiting Dragon Age and Borderlands. Once those come out, the LotRO subscription will most likely lapse.

[Stormwaltz]

I bought Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships and The Witcher (now that the not-Fox-News version is available in North America). When I have speakers set up for my computer, maybe I'll even be able to play them!

But I doubt it, because the wife and kids are here now, and the new place has no convenient basement to hide in.

[Tebonas]

Fallout 3, with both Addon Packs installed (thanks for being able to ignore that POS Games for Windows).

[apocrypha]

Started Disgaea 3. Took me a few separate attempts to get into it but it suddenly clicked and it's ousted Saints Row 2 from the PS3.

[Ard]

I also bought the new Mana Khemia.  It is propped up on a shelf so I see it every time I go into the pantry.

At least I had the decency to beat the first one before buying the sequel.

Started playing Tropico 1 again recently, since Steam and Impulse have a pack with Tropico 1, it's expansion, and Tropico 2 fairly cheap.  I forgot how good it is to be the dictator.

[Signe]

I thought it was going to be a lot less linear.  Oh well.  It's not awful or anything.  I don't think I'll get the old one, though.  They're not really what I'm after.

[Ard]

Ah, sorry Signe, I should have mentioned that it's not a completely non-linear romp.  I'll take the blame here.

[Signe]

I forgive you!   

[WayAbvPar]

Picked up COD 4 and blew through the single player campaign in about 10 hours total. Now on to MP, where I am posting a whopping .65 K/D ratio. It is pretty damned fun though. Sequel comes out in a couple of months, and there is also Word at War to investigate. I am running far shorter on time and money than games to play these days.

[ghost]

Well, against my better judgment, I just impulse bought Champions Online.  Should be interesting

[MisterNoisy]

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, mostly.  Killing time until the October crush.

[Teugeus]

Diablo II LAN 

[lac]

Picked up Divinity 2 and failed to notice that all speech is in German . I guess it's a chance to brush up my German a bit.

I've only played it for a couple of hours and while the game is good it's absolutely not balanced, you go from an easy kill to getting one shotted by the next mob. I'll see if things get more evenhanded as I level up but if it doesn't I might wait a couple of patches before I continue.

Patched this game and its simply great. Best RPG I've played in years. This going be a huge hit with the RPG crowd once they release the UK version. XBox and USA distributor are in the works.

[Phire]

Currently on mission 3 of a game where you play as a marine...pOssibly from space that gets Dropped off in some kind of pod that might have Something To do with a giant ring.

[Yegolev]

Is that the one where you are fighting demons from hell or the one where you are fighting evil versions of your marines?

[Phire]

Its the one where you fight brutes

[rk47]

Wow, wtf is up with the new Wolfenstein? The bullet time, god mode and speed boost powers are so freakin' unnecessary.

[Azazel]

But Is It Fun?

[rk47]

Wolfenstein's gunplay felt damn loose. And the fully upgraded MP43 made everything else seem useless.
BJ Blatzkowitz is really turning into a Jewish American Superhero with his new power additions:
1. Increase speed and night vision, walking through certain walls.
2. His bullets are able to penetrate cover and enemy shields.
3. Shield him from bullets and reflect it back, basically God Mode on when dealing with MG42 emplacements.
4. Slow down time AND vaporize nearby enemies, when I'm too lazy to shoot at nearby melee monsters.

Level design could be better. I felt trapped indoors or even outside while traveling between mission points in town. There's just too many Magic Refresh fountains in game that made spamming powers a too easy choice. I would rather have the power recharged from enemy kills like Max Payne. Overall this game is averagel, reminds me of Timeshift. There's some bright parts of the game where it is fun, but it's very far in between.

[Azazel]

So Bargain bin, then?

[rk47]

So Bargain bin, then?

Yeah man. I'm disappointed. I just finished it and although it's slightly longer than Call of Juarez : Bound in Blood. I had more fun from Juarez gun play and western setting than Wolfenstein Occult-Nazi. Halfway through the game it felt like I was playing Doom 4 in WW2 mod.

[Murgos]

...Wolfenstein.... Halfway through the game it felt like I was playing Doom 4 in WW2 mod.

 

Isn't that what Wolfenstein has pretty much always been?  A reskin of id's latest Doom/Quake game? (other than for the original Wolfenstein 3D obviously)

[Phire]

I am now rocking out to the Beatles.

[NiX]

I am now rocking out to the Beatles.

[Rasix]

Shadow Complex (hey, I got zee missiles)
WoW
Tales of Monkey Island

Same as it ever was. Once SC is done, I think it's back to Demon's Souls.  Never finished it (or got close to finishing).  I blame my son.

My memory of Wolfenstein franchise is limited to Wolf3d and RTCW multiplayer games so I never expected things like a rail gun, tesla gun and shooting sonic guns while facing demonic nazi officers. The non demonic soldiers never stood a chance against normal gun play, Mp43 single bursts usually kills them before they could even get into position. Also, when surrounded by more than 5 SS troopers, shield bullet reflect was instant win. My issue with the game is the goddamn green tinge effect everytime you trigger the powers like you're on LSD or something. It's too distracting and too often used, in fact, in the finale you are forced to keep it permanently on. I wasn't able to switch it off. Shit-balls.

[Phire]

You know you want to come over and strum my guitar!

I want to try out Firefight mode but no one to play with you need to move back out here STAT!

[Nebu]

Update because I'm bored. 

WoW and spider solitaire. 

I'm not sure which I'm playing more of these days. 

[Yegolev]

Did you get tired of the endgame of Minesweeper?

[jakonovski]

I decided to finish Far Cry once and for all. I'm doing it in anticipation of the new computer I ordered, which finally allows me to play the pretty non-slideshow version of Crysis and Crysis Warhead. And Fallen Earth.

It's amazing how poop that game looks after 4 years.
