I could probably list another 20 that I've started and mean to get back to...some years ago, some as recent as a last week.

[scoobydiesel]

I just lost The Game (http://www.losethegame.com). Not because of this post, but thanks to Sluggy Freelance's Micro-Vericon report.

Just bought Rock Band last night, I couldn't resist anymore.

And WoW.

[iggystar]

Nothing exciting, just Big Brain Academy on my DS.

[jae]

skate. still, despite getting it back in september.
call of duty 4 infuriatingly bad multiplayer at times, spectacular other times.
patapon! just scored the demo yesterday. can't wait for the full game.
loco roco awesome game, awesome soundtrack. love building the loco houses.

screwing around with all the GTAs, i gotta get back into practice for gta4. :D

[deegraww]

COD4 on the 360
Zelda Phantom Hourglass on the DS
Tomorrow hopefully i'll be playing Lost Odyssey

[mltvcocktail]

I'm playing Barkley: Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden. Saw it on the 1up show last week and had to check it out. It's a freeware RPG that has you leading Charles Barkley on a quest to save the world from a terrorist group that wants to use the "Chaos Dunk" to destroy the world. Also it's the future and basketball has been outlawed. Sounds stupid but it's almost on par with the old SNES final fantasies and chrono trigger.

I also wholly recommend this even after only having time to play the demo, since thats what I accidentally found first. If you're not convinced, listen to Dave and Joel's Fast Karate for the Gentlemen podcast episode about it, you will not be able to resist afterwards.

Also a sequel to Space Jam, whats not to love?

[geeksunny]

School is interfering with my fun. But still trying to find time to play:

Super Mario Galaxy (almost done!)
Guitar Hero 2 (can't afford the third yet)
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Super Mario Bros. DX (play it on my Gameboy SP and after all these years, I still never grow tired of it)
Bleach: The Blade of Fate (present for Xmas and I have yet to really play it)

...and really anticipating SSBB :)

[gabe_utsecks]

My girlfriend and I are playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Rock Band (both on PS3), though Rock Band is definitely on the back burner now.



(I am a huge RPG fan, but I had never played an open-ended game like Oblivion because I have always considered story and character-development the most important element. Oblivion is, however, one of the best RPGs I've ever played. I recommend it to any RPG fan out there who has not yet taken the plunge into free-roaming, non-linear RPGs. You will not be disappointed.)

[stubadub]

i am out of work for a couple of weeks to have my tonsils removed, my uvula shortened, my deviated septum corrected and some tissue shaved out of my nasal passages to make it easier for me to breath. I am using this pain-filled free time to finally getting around to playing Zelda: Twilight Princess on my Wii. I can't believe it has taken me this long to get around to playing it.

[mrpopular]

I'm playing Marvel ultimate Alliance.

I prolly won't be buying another game until GTA IV

I could nake prob a hundred more as DC had so many great games in such a short life span but best not go overboard.;)

Also, if you can find it without paying an arm and a leg and don't have the HD version, Rez. That game really is that good.

I have played through both of the DS games that I have (New SMB and Phantom Hourglass) and need to get another. Unfortunately, this requires money that I don't have. So the DS is on hold for now. I know I am probably going to catch a lot of shit for this, but I installed Sims 2 and all of the expansion packs. The reason for this is because, now that I actually have a computer that is capable of playing then without freezing every few minutes, I think I may enjoy it a bit more. Don't have any of the "extras" packs installed (Family Fun Stuff, Glamour Life Stuff, etc.), just the actual expansions like University, Open for Business, Bon Voyage, etc. Now, that being said, I spend about 80% of my time building the house and the other 20% building and playing a character.
But I am always up for a new PC game. If anyone has any recommendations, I would be more than open to them. I have a MacBook Pro with XP installed to give you an idea of my specs. I have already played through CoD4 and it was amazing.
Oh, also playing SimCity Societies a bit too.

World of Warcraft (PC/Linux)
Bully (PS2)
God of War II (PS2)
PuzzleQuest: Challenge of the Warlords (PSP)

Almost done GoW2. I'm really impressed by The Warriors and Table Tennis and already like GTA's. Tell me about Bully. Is it another unique gameplay style/system from Rockstar ? One aspect that interests me that I heard about it, the fighting is based on real fighting, MMA moves apparently.

[neverendingwhitelights]

I'm going through the 3 Phoenix Wright games. I would be a great lawyer if this was all it was... as so far everything has been pretty dang simple. Well, simple in theory, not simple in action, as there's really a lot you have to do to get from point A to B, more than there should be at times I think.

After that I'm picking up Army of Two with a friend and we're going to hopefully have a lot of fun with that. As long as the online co-op through the campaign works without any problems, I know I will.

I've also got Lost: Via Domus I'm looking to check out tomorrow, the Experiment, which I'm waiting for a walkthrough of because it's confusing, the Club, which I haven't touched yet. Mid-March I'm grabbing Obscure: The Aftermath, possibly Baroque, and then Dark Sector to finish off March. After that looks like nothing until GTA IV for me.

[gonzooo]

Still playing "Pro Evolution Soccer 2008", but yesterday I ordered "Madden 08" and a complete shot in the dark with "NHL 08".

[tnvwboy]

WoW and HL2.

I've been enjoying HL2 a LOT. I'm so happy that when I'm done with it I'll still have EP1 and EP2 to play. Maybe by the time I get through those Ep3 will be ready. Yay!

[masherscf]

I was gonna try and max-out a female Bosmer thief I had in "Elder Scrolls: Oblivion", but I haven't had time to play this week.

[taozoo4u]

Lost Via Domus

[phoenixp3k]

Well to me, Bully is the answer Rockstar has to the audience that can't buy the Mature games. It works very much like the Grand Theft Auto series, same engine and game structure. The difference is that you're on school grounds instead of a city, and instead of cars you have a skate board.

It's a less criminal twist to the formula. You get to be bully or save the day.

[robotbodiesbff]

COD 4 for 360

almost exclusively

[wizmaster]

The Orange Box. Finished Portal but won't start the advanced levels or use the level editor yet. Going through Half Life 2: Little by Little. Getting started with TF2. Not an FPS lover (I'll probably always suck) but it is kinda fun.

[az0madman]

Lost Via Domus

How is it? I might get it for PC just because it's half the price of the console versions, but I don't know how much of an achievement whore I am yet.

Soon to be playing Patapon on PSP. My life has no time right now for console games. :( But luckily, I got plenty of bus time for portable gaming goodness.

[nobodysleeps]

Lost Odyssey has made me weep 3 times and I'm only 11 hours in.

The game is great!

oh yeah I'm doing lotsa PVP in WoW with a lvl 64 gnome Warrior in Destromath realm too. and powerleveling a Blood Elf Mage with a friend. He's a70 super eppiced out rogue..just running through instances. lvl 43 in 1 day 20 hours.

wish I had a higher level in Execetus.

Also playing Persona 3

[heyseuss]

Still playing "Pro Evolution Soccer 2008", but yesterday I ordered "Madden 08" and a complete shot in the dark with "NHL 08".

If you like Madden, 08 sucks.

[gonzooo]

If you like Madden, 08 sucks.
Yeah, I'm prepared to just leave it after a few hours, if I feel it doesn't hold up. It's received a nice review on IGN, while some people have said it's not very good, and in the end it evens out to a buy with low expectations.

I sent it back to gamefly later on the day it arrived.

[hypermint]

plaing conan on the 360( i like it for the god of war feel) cod 4(360), cant wait till next week till army of two comes out. and neves on the ds

[skoufis]

Lol, playing Sim City 4 on PC and some WOW here and there (private server) and also I'm big into Flight Sim

-Nik

[upfront06]

Professor Layton on the DS, oh and Tetris.... I can't stop.

And on the Wii, Zelda and Mario Galaxy.

And if I'm in the mood for killer graphics, I'll get my xBox back from my brother and play Assassin's Creed. It is a bit repetitive, but wow, it's friggin gorgeous.

[jaydee3]

Currently playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and lovin it

[mikejl]

Dumped WoW (after three full, and good, years).
Now on:

- LOTRO (having a blast .. like WoW but its not WoW)
- Got a copy of Jade Empire for $15 .. loaded that .. just started it.
- Thinking about reloading Civ4 ( or picking-up Sins of a Solar Empire)

[gonzooo]

So, my recent order of "Madden 08" and "NHL 08" turned out differently than I had expected...

"Madden 08" ended up being somewhat of a bore, with some really essential features not being there.

"NHL 08" actually ended up being way more fun than I'd expected. Unfortunately I had to catch a bus after 2 games so we didn't get to play as much as we'd like, but it kind of saved the evening together with the fact that we had pretty nice weather for this time of year, so we got some skateboarding done.

[ryudo]

To me all Maddens suck and a total bore as they are all the same and find it dumb to pay full price for the same game every year.

I only bought 08 since it had Vince on the cover (fave team is the Titans and I still paid less than full price as I got a deal on it then) and was the first football game I bought since NFL 2K5 (was not a 2k series fan till 2k5 came out..still to me the best football game ever.

I probably won't buy another football game for years.

[ryudo]

Took a break from Zack and Wiki and briefly played Ape Escape damn what a classic.

Too bad only the first was any good.

[njzcool]

I have been going back and forth between WoW, Guitar Hero 3, and R6Vegas, also my new game Professor Layton and the Curious Village

[dougleach]

just finished COD4 and I just started Bioshock. I purchased a new videocard with our tax returns, so I could acutally play some of the new games. I plan on getting Assasin's Creed and Crysis after that. After those I might checkout the Fallout series.

[az0madman]

Playing Patapon right now as my main game. Hate to say it, but it's getting a little old. Then again, I do play it in uncomfortable settings (bus rides mostly). The lack of pause really sucks too. It's a fun though when you're in the right mood.

[damnedeyez]

Added Professor Layton and Metroid Prime 3 to the playlist this past week.

Hell, Thursday, everytime I closed my eyes to sleep I was maneuvering morph balls and using grapples.

[bcool]

just got N+. It's pretty cool - im looking forward to playing coop.

[njshadow]

To me all Maddens suck........

Amen! Agreed!

[zebracakes]

I'm slowly working my way through the entire half-life saga on hard mode. The nihilanth is ridiculous on hard mode!

[dudeington]

I'm currently hooked on Lost Odyssey. Best next-gen JRPG yet.

[jchaosrs]

I just started playing Call of Duty 4, awesome!

[maynza]

My rockband footpedal broke :( So I have been playing Team Fortress 2 and Audiosurf mostly. I am seriously considering getting into Kingdom hearts and FF12 again now that i work so much.

[robotbodiesbff]

I'm slowly working my way through the entire half-life saga on hard mode. The nihilanth is ridiculous on hard mode!

I played through HL 2, episode 2 and 3 about a month ago for the first time. Those games do live up to the hype, absolutely great storytelling

[damnedeyez]

I played through HL 2, episode 2 and 3

I...


nevermind, I'll just go play the God of War: Chains of Olympus demo...

[Snowfox]

Finished Assassin's Creed recently, ending = WTF???

Call of Duty 4 and Team Fortress 2 is holding my gaming needs as of now.

I'm probably going to get a PSP once God of War comes out for it.

Might get Drake's Fortune sooner or later too.

[dudeington]

You know, this series crept up on me. Before I knew it, it became one of my favorite series.

[magunwarrior]

The Darkness arrived from Gamefly yesterday, it's a fairly average FPS, a good filler game.

[eddielee]

Just started playing Puzzle Quest. Better late than never right?

[hydrocoptic]

I got a 360 finally and I've started playing Mass Effect. The game is really cool so far. It seems to have a bit of a learning curve though. I'm only about 2 hours into the game so far. Also there are some scenes in the game where I expected a lot of controller rumble and nothing happens....kinda weird.

[ryudo]

Super Smash Bros Brawl!

[jchaosrs]

I've been play F.E.A.R. on the PS3 for a few days now and it's really good. Though not as good as Half-Life 2 which I'm also playing.

[damnedeyez]

I haven't even gotten to God of War: Chains of Olympus yet...I finished up Professor Layton, and decided I should finish GTA: Vice City Stories since it was still in the PSP. Then I'll get to God of War...

[pepperen]

I'm still playing Halo 3, because I can't afford to buy COD4...
I played the multiplayer at a friends house and I was blown away, SOME MUCH BETTER than Halo 3.

Still want to get 3 stars at Halo 3 though...
Damn skill level 40!!

[mephistos-brother]

I'm Brawlin!

[tensegrity]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl.
Oblivion The Elder scrolls Game Of The Year Edition.

Waiting for the release of Warhammer MMO - Certain to give WoW a run for the money. release slated Q2. a lucky few 500 thousand got invitations to the Beta. - I just wasn't fast enough. - lol

Avoiding Bioshock The DRM is ridiculous.

[iccanui]

Right now im totally hooked in puzzle quest. Awesome game, one of my fav's ever.

Also im addicted to a iPhone port of Duckhunt i have. Using the touch pad as the gun is so much fun. Its so funny to me that one of my top 2 games im playing in 2008 is a game from 8bit nintendo hehe.

[stubadub]

The Darkness arrived from Gamefly yesterday, it's a fairly average FPS, a good filler game.

The voice acting in that game is incredible (especially Mike Patton as the Darkness), and the darkness powers get fairly neat. The main thing I hated was the inability to run. It felt like I was slowly limping through the entire game.

I'm playing God of War on my PSP. Super Smash Bros. should be arriving from Amazon on Tuesday. Until then I've picked up Halo 3 for the first time since I completed the campaign back when it came out, and the multiplayer is fairly nice (I know I shouldn't be surprised). I've also finally gotten around to playing through Twilight Princess. At this rate I might beat it before they release the Wii successor.

[damnedeyez]

ok, so I took a break from GTA:VCS to play some PQ2

[ozpulse]

In anticipation for MGS4, I'm going back and playing through the earlier MGS games.

Gamer confession time... I never really played them before (*gasp*). I watched my mate play MGS and played through about half of MGS2 and 10 mins of MGS3.

Now that I have the time to dedicate to them, I'm going all the way back to the original Metal Gear Solid on PSX (found it on ebay for AU$35). I'm only just past the tank boss part, but I've only really just started.

[kaytwo]

Working my way through Half-Life 2 part of the Orange Box after doing the last 10 minutes of Portal then through DMC4, finishing off Heavenly Sword, then Twilight Princess & Wind Waker. Only 4 games I finished recently start to finish: COD4, mario galaxy, Assassin's Creed and Sonic Rush. Damn. That's a lot.

[thedon]

Im playing Cod4, but I think ill go back to the Orange box to play some Half Life soon.

[mega-man]

n+ mainly
CoD4 here and there
and I'll still check up on my Animal Crossing town occasionally
Oh and Dope Wars on my Treo :)

[cut_la_rock]

I've been playing a lot of COD4 multiplayer, trying to make it to Prestige mode. I'm thinking of diving backing to Mass Effect for another run. I tried to give Assassin's Creed a chance, but got bored pretty quick.

[bcool]

I'm officially addicted to (and infuriated by) Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.

[damnedeyez]

So, Vice City Stories already caused me to break my plastic grips for the PSP already...maybe I should just move on...I'm on a mission I can't pass due to it requiring precision aiming during a time limit... :: grumbles ::

Which mission? Shooting gallery at Phil's ??? The game is much easier after that. I played it on ps2 though. After that the story really starts to flow and gets good. There are going to be some hard missions later, but they are easy once you figure them out. I know where to find some faw/walkthroughs on th game if you want.

Nah...the sniper rifle mission with the DEA exchange. They usually kill the last guy as I'm getting to the last 1 or 2 snipers.

OH man! I did that first try no problem. For some reason, it didn't even phase me, I think the reason is because I didn't get scared I was going to be shot. As soon as the 'shoot the snipers' starts, I don't even move, I stood right in that spot, started at 3 o'clock, and just turned in a full circle zooming and shooting.

Oh, I don't move either...but getting the the reticle on them is tricky with the little analog stick...I don't think it'd be an issue if I were playing it on a PS2 with a dualshock. I get close, nudge it over and it doesn't move, nudge it over a little harder and it jumps to the opposite side of the guy...finally get it on him and he ducks. Repeat.

Sounds like the controller is the main issue ?

When that mission started, I was scared, but just started shooting and all of a sudden it was done and I was relieved.

[damnedeyez]

Yeah, but seeing as it was designed for the first version of the PSP...then again, I was having issues controlling the hovercraft too, so maybe my analog stick is degrading. I ordered a new PSP anyway, 'cause I've been wanting one (and I still don't understand how Sony didn't put the God of War model/bundle out last week with the God of War PSP game...I would've picked it up then.)

I can't imagine playing these games on PSP. Funny you mentioned GOW2, it's what I'm playing on ps2 right now. I'm almost done VCS but got stuck and have taken a break. The hovercraft is hard on PS2 as well - btw, I hate all the useless races in GTA's. The jetski is fun to handle though.


Have you ever played the Gun game for PSP ? I love that game on PS2 and wanted to see the differences in the PSP version.

[damnedeyez]

Gun Showdown? no...never played Gun either, though.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Finally some decent games for the Wii are coming out. Before this and Mario Galaxy, my Wii was just collecting dust.

Metroid Prime 3,Zak & Wiki,Endless Ocean would have filled those gaps greatly.

I have had a hard time keeping up..next inline is in april with Okami.:)

[gabe_utsecks]

I have FINALLY gotten around to playing Occarina of Time (via an emulator), and I am replaying Final Fantasy IX.

[willijay]

Too fucking many!
Halo 3, Assassins Creed, Halflife 2 : Episode 2, Portal, Tony Hawk:Project 8 and NHL 2K8. Oblivion is sitting in the box, waiting for its day!

[nuyawka]

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney-DS

I am still trying to beat CoD4 on Veteran, but am stuck in the silos...can't disarm the missles.

Other than that, I am forcing my way through Army of Two. I would bring it back if Gamestop would give me more than 3 dollars for it. I want to finish it before I try to get some luccini for it.

I travel for work a bunch and take Professor Layton with me so that I can play on the road...

[ford]

Mm, I've been playing a lot of Ninja Gaiden Black recently. Just beat it a couple of days ago, and now I'm tackling hard mode. Amazing game.

[tamtamg]

MLB 08, NHL 08, CoD4

[mltvcocktail]

I don't know why but I busted out the SNES and have been playing Kirby Superstar constantly. That pink bastard is one mad mofo.

[jaylaf]

I just got:


Call Of Duty 4
Burnout Paradise
Skate.


All for PS3. I haven't played Burnout yet (played the demo). I was playing COD4, until I got Skate. I've played that the past couple days, but want to get back to COD4.

I've been playing Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror on PSP, but I think I'm gonna take a break and get started on Tomb Raider Anniversary.

Last time I played DS (couple weeks ago), I was playing Worms Open Warfare 2.

[damnedeyez]

Been playing Bully: Scholarship Edition for the past few days...seemed dumb at first, but it's gotten addicting.




Edit: And I finally passed that stage on GTA: VCS...after noticing the info tip (while you're supposed to be aiming) about the L shoulder button letting you fine tune. (Been so long since I'd played it, I'd forgotten that.)

[popltree2]

Been playing back through New SMB on the DS and also been playing some SimGolf (must under-rated Sim title out there) and Warcraft III.

[taozoo4u]

just picked up a copy of Condemned 2: Bloodshot an i recommend it if you loved the first one

[wan_flan]

Not a whole lot, actually. I've been playing God of War on PSP... That's kind of it. I'm on-and-off with Team Fortress 2, but other than that, hardly anything.

[in-clouds]

I just picked up Army of Two for the 360 a few days ago. I'm enjoying it so far. I also throw in Halo 3 from time to time.

[leroyjenkinsftw]

The Orange Box!!!! :d

Good luck, should be a while before you get another hard mission.

I've been playing The Warriors alot still instead of new games. I'm going to try Bully seeing as I like GTA and Warriors and Red Dead Revolver so much.

[sausage]

Mass Effect (2nd time through)
TLoZ: Phantom Hour Glass

FF Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates as soon as our second DS and the games show up!

[bobafettjm]

I've been playing a lot of Mass Effect, Smash Bros Brawl, and Professor Layton.

[andyaldrich]

I have contracted RSI from Patapon...and lost a lot of sleep!

I've got Bully for PS2. It's a blast. You know, I saw somewhere that Warriors was put out for PSP, but I can't seem to ever find it...

[geekluv]

I just picked up Folklore for the PS3 and I'm loving it. Such a beautiful game, I just wish it had gotten a little more recognition.

I found Dreamfall the Longest Journey dirt cheap at the flea market so I'm giving that a go too.

And Puzzle Quest, of course, still has it's grip on me. I got my DS charater to level 50 and now I'm working on my XBL character (Patch, I'm up to level 26!).

Warriors is great dude. I'd have to reccommend getting it on ps2 as I've never played a PSP. It's actually fairly long if you want to do it 100%. The one thing that amazes me, is it contains practically every scene in the movie, in the gameplay. It starts 3 months before leading up to the movies time. If you get the chance, watch the movie and then play the game, it's a great experience. DanT, you should play Warriors dude, it's like living in a free-roam movie you've already seen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAvldhE4FnU

I'm gonna find Bully to play.

[scoobydiesel]

got around to CoD4 finally.

But been playing alot more puzzle quest since i got it on 360 now also...

[neverendingwhitelights]

I'm taking a break for a while and kickin' it old school. My plan at the moment is to work through all the previous Final Fantasy games (11 not included) before the new one(s) come out. Also because I've only played 7, 8, 10/10-2, and 12 before and thought I should check out the others. Should be fun, but I hope there isn't as much sidequest nonsense in the older ones are there are in the later ones. Starting the first one right after I finish this post.

[stubadub]

Warriors is great on PSP. Identical to the PS2 version but portable. Most stores around me have it, but when all else fails Amazon is your friend.

Do yourself a favor and be sure to include Final Fantasy Tactics in that list. BEST Final Fantasy!

[neverendingwhitelights]

Do yourself a favor and be sure to include Final Fantasy Tactics in that list. BEST Final Fantasy!

Beat that a while back, and I do agree. I do enjoy the carefully planned battles of Tactics as opposed to just random encounters every 2-3 seconds which is what I'm getting on FF1 at the moment. I've gotten to the point where I do not want to explore the dungeons at all simply because of it. There was a point where I had a fight every single step I took, it did that like a dozen or so times in a row. Then I got poisoned as I was leaving a dungeon, but guess what no antidotes, so my whole party was poisoned and I had to get all the way back to town. Except that town didn't have antidotes, so I had to get in a boat and go somewhere else to get them. All this while getting a random battle every couple seconds. Nerve... wracking... yet I think I'm halfway done, so might as well finish it out. :rolleyes:

[blacksymbiote]

I've been hoping back and forth between Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, and Portal. I still haven't gotten into Half Life 2 much cause I want to finish Lost Odyssey first. But I have a feeling I'm going to be playing it for a while to get all those achievements :( Why must I be so addicted to them?

Eventually I want to get to Bioshock and Eternal Sonata as well. Too many games! GTA4 won't help my situation when it comes out :P

[aerodash84]

Beat God of Wars Chain of Olympus playing again on harder settings. (Must buy for PSP imo)
Assassin's Creed (slowly working through)
Patapon
and have 3 or 4 characters I'm working on in WoW.

[neverendingwhitelights]

Well I was going to play FF2, but after getting through 1, I don't think I really want to. Just looks like more of the same, plus the level-up system looks retarded, and I want to be done with it, so I'm going to skip to 4 it looks like. Since I can't check out 3... no DS...

[geekluv]

Well maybe you need a little... Serenity! HA! See what I did there!? Seriously tho, I haven't heard from her either... Must be a lot of chaos going around? Or maybe she was in a car accident.

I'll put it like this...I have managed to get myself involved in far too many online communities: Myspace (including groups), Facebook, GamingAngels.com (I'm a copy editor, reviewer, blogger, and forum mod!), TRS forums, and the list goes on. Depending on work, school, and home life/projects, sometimes I have to take a "vacation", yeah that's it, from some of my web obligations; sometimes I only check my email once a week. I'll always be around and I'll come back, eventually. :) Maybe Serenity wa on "vacation" too.

Back on track - games I've been playing - I forgot to mention I've taken a hiatus from WoW but picked up LotRo and Guild Wars again.

[jaylaf]

I have spent the last week playing COD4 (on PS3). It's every bit as cool as I'm always hearing, but for me it's just a little bit cooler, because it's actually my very first foray into the online multiplayer experience! Somehow, I never got into all of that. I feel a bit like the 40 Year Old Virgin, like it slipped past me. After my first match, I felt like I should've passed out cigars or something.

You know what it was? It was a Dan Becomes A Man segment, except, you know...without Dan.

I'm loving it. I'm on there almost daily. If you wanna shoot me a friend invite, and to play some multi, that would be marvelous!! (think British accent)

[damnedeyez]

Ninja Reflex: Steamworks Edition


It's...amusing. It's like Brain Age for reflexes. (I might enjoy it better on my home PC, since this laptop lags...not good for a reflex game.)

[blacksymbiote]

I was playing Lost Odyssey a lot recently, but the past day or two I've been back into Crackdown trying to find all the Hidden Orbs. 299/300 :mad:

[krypt]

CoD 4 on 360 still. didnt stop playing it until burnout and then DMC4. just ran through campaign in rainbow six vegas 2 and im never picking it up again. so back to CoD

[taozoo4u]

Dark Sector
Orange Box
Devil May Cry 4

[lrsk]

Been playing a ridiculous amount of Rome: Total War lately. That game will suck away a whole day and not even let you know. Great game.

I also really want COD4, but I think I'll wait till the summer comes along and I have more time.

[stubadub]

Just picked up Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, which will be seeing a lot of my time. I finally got around to beating God of War: Chains of Olympus, and I've started playing on the harder difficulty.

When I'm at home and my wife isn't in control of the living room tv I'm alternating between COD 4 and Burnout Paradise on my 360, and No More Heroes on my Wii.

My stack of games I need to put more time into is getting unwieldy. I've still got to find time to beat Zelda and Super Mario Galaxies on my Wii, Uncharted on my PS3, and Half Life Episodes 1 & 2 on my 360.

[jaylaf]

Guys! Guys! (oh, and I'm originally a Michigander, so "guys" is everyone - no offense ladies)

While I was at work tonight, my wife was totally playing COD4! How freakin RAD is that?! :D

Now, if I can just get her to get on this forum.....

[mckay]

I play Bad N Rad: Skate or Die for the (original) Game Boy 24/7. It's totally rad!

Just kidding. I'm into Lord of the Rings Online now. I used to be into Dark Ages of Camelot. I'm not a big consol player. I'm really looking forward to Spore since hearing Jeff get jazzed about it.

[neverendingwhitelights]

Rogue Galaxy. There's a pretty deep learning curve, but I'm getting the hang of it.

[ryudo]

Still on brawl.

But did for a few min play Ape Escape on PSone.

Currently playing:

COD 4 (online, 360)

[scootman]

COD 4
GHIII
a little Halo 3 here and there
waiting til i get "Bring Down The Sky" to play Mass Effect again

[babnert]

Almost done with GOW:CoO, really good game - first psp title that i feel is worth buying. It holds its own with the other god of war installments.

[deegraww]

Running thru Lost Odyssey, Condemned, Bioshock, and I've got Mass Effect to bust open.

[gojira]

The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass (DS) - I started this game a couple of months ago, but then my DS broke. I got a new DS, but then I also got Guitar Hero 3 for my b-day and Super Smash Bros Brawl came out the day after my b-day. So I sunk a lot of time into those two games. After a couple of weeks of playing the hell out of those two games, I'm back to Zelda. I love the Zelda franchise, but outside of Link's Awakening, I haven't loved the portable games for some reason. PH is good, but the whole time I'm playing, I'm just thinking about how much better Wind Waker was. It's a good game, but doesn't do anything special for me. Although I do think it's the better than Minish Cap and Oracle of Ages.

[mr-smith]

I've gone old school, and started playing Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past on my GBA while I was gone for Germany... makes me feel good to play the old stuff. Found that a cousin of mine had passed me up, and was working on Link's Awakening for GB Classic... I'm going to have my cartridge and break it in again.

[ryudo]

That's ok, I played Rumble Roses yesterday.

I love ape escape it's a classic.
just the sequels sucked and the PSP port sucked.

[gojira]

A couple of things I forgot to mention about Phantom Hourglass. Good news - there are some really clever puzzles in the game. Professor Layton style. Bad news - the temple you have to replay several times does get annoying.

Zelda PH was the worst purchase I ever made on DS..I seriously hated that game.

But I traded it in towards Brawl..all was forgiven.

Yikes, I far from hate the game. It definitely has its problems, but it's still a good game. And I didn't even talk about the amazing graphics/art in the game either.

[geekluv]

Unfortunately, this week I have been playing Two Worlds for the 360. When I hit Best Buy to snag some anime that was on sale, I found Two Worlds very cheap (open box or something) so I picked it up. What an abomination! Has anyone else played it, and if so, what did you think of it? I haven't been able to find one redeeming quality in it so far.

[blure007]

I just bought Savage 2 from S2Games and been enjoying the hell out of it.

Savage 2 (http://savage2.s2games.com/main.php)

[stubadub]

I am playing The Simpsons game on 360. It's much better than I had heard. When friends are online I'm playing COD IV.

I'm also on Crisis Core: FFVII, just starting out but it has potential. Also playing Wipeout: Pulse on it. I don't see a point in my future where I'll be tired of that one.

What's up with Alex's PSP hate? That is proving to be a pretty solid handheld system

[gojira]

I recently sold my PSP. There are some great games on the system, but they aren't the type of games that really appeal to me.

[damnedeyez]

What's up with Alex's PSP hate? That is proving to be a pretty solid handheld system


I figure it's part sony-dislike, and part his preference for co-op/multiplayer.



Otherwise, I played a bit of Metroid Prime Hunters, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Rock Band lately.

[tamtamg]

right now i'm playing heavenly sword and mlb 08: the show. Heavenly sword is alright, button masher with good graphics. The Show is like video game crack. The road to the show game play combines two of my favorite things: baseball+RPG. I can't put it down.

[damnedeyez]

I just finally got around to starting Puzzle Quest tonight...

[scoobydiesel]

been playing some more cod4 on 360...and still puzzle quest

[jaylaf]

What's up with Alex's PSP hate? That is proving to be a pretty solid handheld system

Well, I'm posting right now on my PSP, while watching The Shield, so I'd say it's pretty cool!

[ryudo]

Monkey Island(PC)

[dolson]

I'm playing through Folklore and Medal of Honor Airborne right now.. After I beat one or the other, I'll probably start on F.E.A.R. or The Darkness or maybe Oblivion.. I don't know yet.

[kickarse]

Assassin's Creed... just started it. I just started traveling the country on the horse. So far so good. A bit slow and the UI is a bit clunky and annoying.

Games on the waiting list are Bio-Shock and Portal.

[decepticon]

Currently playing a lot of the new variety maps on COD 4, as well as some Rock Band and WOW.

[hapkido-ka]

I beat God of War 2 on PS2 a couple weekends ago and it was probably the best video game experience I've ever had. Talk about a freakin power trip...


Now, I'm LOVING Audiosurf. My GF has been picking out songs for me to ride and it's been great. She gets to hear the music she wants to hear and I get to play games while she watches. Plus, I've got the high score on a buttload of Sarah McLaughlin songs and other tracks that most gamers wouldn't ever think to play. :D

If you haven't at least checked out the demo, you really should.

I just finished that last weekend. Not the best vid game experience I've ever had, GoW 1 was better.

[0garrett0]

I jut picked up Rock Band so I'm playing that a good bit right now. Other games that I'm still playing are Psychonauts (3rd time), and Halo3 w/ friends. Not too much going on right now gaming wise for me.

You won't find one either, I played it on PC at release, I loved Oblivion (modded of course) so much that I forced myself to play this game till about level 30ish, I regret every second waisted...

[satori]

C&C Kane's Wrath... there are some hick ups, but I like it.

[ryudo]

Been in a real retro mood so been playing VC games on Wii ..next might play the Dreamcast or some PSone games.

[heyseuss]

I get an immediate fun-rush from Flatout 2 right now, not so much the racing, but the derby stuff is fun as hell.

[stubadub]

GTA IV, Boom Blox and Mario Kart Wii primarily, with a little Penny Arcade on the side.

I've just installed the Wii Homebrew channel and have barely started playing Sam & Max Hit The Road for the first time in 14 years.

Don 't know what I'm going to do when MGSIV and Ninja Gaiden 2 come out in the next few weeks.

[dolson]

- Portal (two levels left, postponing it.. don't want it to end!)
- Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
- Ratchet & Clank Future
- Oblivion (taking it one quest at a time!)
- Star Soldier R (need my vertical-scrolling shooter fix)
- LostWinds (very short play sessions to prolong a great, but short, game)

Recently completed: Haze, God of War: Chains of Olympus, darkSector, echochrome (PSP version)

Likely next purchases: Warhawk, Battlefield: Bad Company

[-xcl-]

Earthbound 70-80% ( lovin' every minute of it)

[spartacus]

GTA IV and Warhawk :D

Dr. Mario Online - whatever the title is WiiWare game.

It's Dr. Mario, but online! The game is only $10 and a lot of fun. I've played some online and realized that I'm totally rusty.

My FC is 5423 9790 4554 if anyone wants to play.

[scootman]

recently started playing Guitar Hero 3 again. love playing the song "Ruby" by Kaiser Chiefs. that and Call of Duty 4 and will play Mass Effect again when i get the downloaded content

[jay_ray]

I'm going through the MGS series again, finished the first two, now I'm on MGS3. Playing a little Boom Blox and working through Masss Effect again. I'll pobably pick up Lego Indy next week to get a change of pace before diving back into MGS with MGS4.

[scoobydiesel]

Just got Wii Fit so I've played that and over all my Wii the last few days, i downloaded Lost winds or whatever also.

[ryanw14]

It's called Dr. Mario Rx. ;) Anyone who bought it can send out a multiplayer-only version of the game to their friends, which is awesome. So even if you don't have the game yet, and you just wanna play, you could just get someone to send you the invite from within their copy of the game.

I sent a few invites to my friends, but I haven't checked if they got them yet or what.

[burkhartmj]

CoD4 on PC and puzzle quest on DS

Also hitting up C&C tiberian Sun and CoD2 every now and then [yea, they're old, TS excruciatingly so, but what can I say, love em].

[heyseuss]

I've been playing the, "will rev3 load today?" game alot lately.

[jeansnow]

Finished GTA4 last night, and then started playing THE DARKNESS, which I picked up cheap online. Also playing the Penny Arcade game, which I love, and think I'm almost done.

[absolutemayhem]

Age of Conan .. something new until I am called back to WoW ... WoLK is going to be interesting. Also been playing CoD4 on the 360 and missing my old clan BF2 days.

- Portal (two levels left, postponing it.. don't want it to end!)
- Star Soldier R (need my vertical-scrolling shooter fix)


Saying you have two levels left on Portal is like saying you have only completed half the game.

I thought I read Star Soldier R is just like playing Star Soldier on the VC except it is timed so you can't possibly finish it. What exactly is the deal with Star Soldier R?

[damnedeyez]

Toying with a bit of Metal Gear and Echochrome (PS3)...getting a bit addicted to Uno and Switchball (360) and there's always the ones I pick up here and there and usually at work, Double Cross (PC) and Sudoku (Steam)

Leaderboards... I'm ranked #73 in Canada in the 2-minute mode, and #80 in Canada in 5-minute mode. But I have only played each mode a few times so far, so I think I'll get higher if I keep playing. :)

[gojira]

I thought I read Star Soldier R is just like playing Star Soldier on the VC except it is timed so you can't possibly finish it. What exactly is the deal with Star Soldier R?

From what I've heard, the timed aspect of Star Solder has been in the previous games. But it was just another mode on top of the regular, go through stages beat boss mode. I don't know if it was to keep the size down or what, but Star Soldier R is just the timed stuff and not the regular stages stuff. So basically the appeal is just to get high scores. It was always a tournament thing for previous games in the series, so I guess they thought that would fit with WiiWare.

It's not in all games in the Star Soldier series, but I believe Super Star Soldier did have it. Blazing Lazers is a part of that series, I'm pretty sure, and I don't think it has it.

I do want a full shooter like this, but I already have the VC ones, so I got R because it's got leaderboards and better graphics, and I'm a sucker for this genre. Can't get into side-scrolling shooters though.

By the way, Hudson is currently running a tournament for US residents. Winner gets I think 3 Wii games from Hudson, as well as 160000 Wii Points and there are other prizes as well. You have to register with them and they give you a unique randomized nametag for the leaderboards, which you use to register your scores.

[shegs]

I am playing Conan and the world ends with you... I have recently finished ninja gaiden for ds and the Penny Arcade game for PC.

[msmags]

WoW, Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, I watch people play GTA4 (it's fun to watch too!)....and more WoW. I also really want to try AoC, but I'm not sure if I want to shell out the $$ for the game plus the monthly subscription fee. I am very attached to WoW. :D

[apswesthome]

N+ ...so addictive

Skate ...even if you didn't play Tony Hawk or you skate, it's just a solid game!

GTA4 ...i really wanna finnish the story, but the multiplayer is so fun

Puzzle Quest on my DS. (Found it for 15 bucks here in Milwaukee while on a business trip... and had to replace the PSP version I lost when my GF stole my PSP. Apparently, she enjoys PQ now too.)

Mass Effect and WoW on my MacBook Pro.

WiiFit (does that constitute playing? no idea but it's a lot of fun), Boom Blox, The World Ends With You, Penny Arcade: Episode 1, GTA4, and I just picked up Age of Conan

I just got Boom Blox. Played some multiplayer with my sisters and girlfriend. My girlfriend occasionally plays some games, but one of my sisters hardly ever plays games outside of Animal Crossing. We all had a lot of fun, and everyone did pretty well. It's totally the kind of game that a gamer can play with non-gamers. I love that. Single player so far has been kinda boring though. But I really bought it for the multiplayer, so that doesn't bother me too much.

Playing through Half Life 2, still playing GTA4, getting the achievement points from King Kong, and I'm always playing Rock Band. Oh, and I'm trying out the Operation Darkness demo.

Yes, it's one of the best Wii games (the others, IMHO, being Metroid Prime 3 and Resident Evil 4).

awsem thanks wat about zelda any good:D:cool:

[az0madman]

Most recently I've been playing Beyond Good and Evil (just in time for the announcement) and Resident Evil 4. I want to beat the older games before I start up on the semi-new ones. I have Gears of War on my list, but I think I'll wait until the re-issue so that more people will be playing then and I can get co-op going or something.

awsem thanks wat about zelda any good:D:cool:

Zelda is Zelda... The Wii version is just the GameCube version, mirrored so left is right, and tacked-on Wii controls. It's still a great game, but I preferred the other three games (especially Metroid and RE4). The controls in RE4 are just tacked on also, but they really do work well, whereas I agree with Jeff that Zelda's waggle to swing the sword is annoying, and not well done. People will disagree with me on that, and that's fine, but in real life, if you swing a sword, you pull your arm back and then swing or thrust it forward for a single hit - but in the game, this equates to two attacks, one as you pull back and one as you thrust forward. Bad mechanics that are hard to adjust to for me. But the game as a whole is still good - it's Zelda, after all.

GOOD MAN! (I assume you are a man because your name says man without a wo before it, and plus, this is the internet.)

Haha, yeah. I actually had this game for about a year but never really played it. It was cheap and new off Amazon so I bought it, but other games kinda slowly trickled into my hands. With the sequel coming out eventually now, it's on my top game to beat right now (with RE4). Although... if I don't beat it before MGS4 comes out, it'll have to take the backseat for awhile.

Just picked up Rock Band today. It could be Drum Hero as far as I am concerned, stlll awesome though.

I concur.

I prefered the gamecube version...the game was meant for cube and the controls were tacked on for the Wii game (not to mention the Wii version has a glitch late in the game if you save in the cannon room you are SOL and have to start a new file)

I would also like to add If he can pick up Okami esp if you like Zelda..in fact I like it better than TP (if not played it on PS2) and DEF pick up Zack & Wiki ..Brawl is also great and Mario Kart.
And if you still have anthing left..try Lost Winds on Wiiware (and if you can try No More Heroes)

I just got Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. I loved the GBA Advance Wars games, but for some reason never really got around to playing Dual Strike the first DS one. I always meant to buy it, but then the second one rolled around. So I decided to rent them and then see if I still want both or just one. The tone and characters of Days of Ruin are much better than Dual Strike. So now I'm playing and loving Days of Ruin. Hopefully I can get through it before Final Fantasy Tactics A2 comes out in a couple of weeks.

Finished Mass Effect (PC) for the 1st time yesterday going to play through it again, still playing TF2 (pyro weapons woot!) then Bioshock (PC) , I want to play COD 4 (PC) online, but I always get crazy slowdown when switching to multiplayer, not gameplay even at the menus it's like a slide show I've updated system (3.21GHz w/ Geforce 8600) still it chugs, not sure what to do. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, well back to mass effect and the uncanny valley of it all =)

Damn, I searched for this thread that I thought I remembered seeing yesterday when I created my own about what games people are currently playing. Anyway, I'm working on GTA IV single player on my PS3, and Halo 3, then Gears of War.

[crazy_bag_man]

Just recently got a 360, so I have way too many games I'm working on. COD4, Bioshock, Gears of War, GTA IV, to name a few
