Games you're playing

[NashKnowsBest]

Right now I'm playing the Mass Effect 2's on my PS3, but I was playing Oblivian before I started that.

[fraggot]

Still playing Left 4 Dead 2, would like to play Dead Space 2 but no money.

[StepLaugh]

Totally playing dead space 2 for the past 3 days, I love the multiplayer. I recently got FEAR 2and might start that soon. I've into horror games for a while.

[Zombiehead]

COD: Black Ops - terrible at killing zombies but practicing by clearing campaigns on harder difficulties.
Plants vs Zombies - yes, the App game.

[Spud]

Ive been Hooked on Monday Night combat since it came out on PC.
im also playing COD: modern warfare 2 on PC and battlefield bad company 2: Vietnam

im waiting for march first for Dawn of war 2 Retribution comes out *i pre ordered the special edition :')*

and when i get bored i start playing games i havent finished the story mode for like Bioshock 2, Fallout new vegas, Command and conquer red alert 3, dead rising 2, borderlands *havent played the robo revolution DLC yet* And Dungeon Keeper 2 *yes its an old game but its a classic*

[cycogod]

Halo Reach 360- Castlvania Lords of Shadow 360- Cave Story Wii -

[cPT.cAPSLOCK]

Currently playing a lot of Magicka - it's really worth the tenner on Steam.
The gameplay is refreshing and the storytelling is very humorous.

Also, I play Dirt2 with some friends every now and then, Minecraft never gets old, and I'm progressing slowly but surely in Amnesia (I usually play it if I'm home at friday or saturday night - the darker the room, the better.)
Lastly, I can enjoy most FPS's and co-op games. Skype or other voice chat is a requirement though when playing co-op, I wan't to be able to coordinate things ^^

[I The K Train I]

Replaying Final Fantasy XIII again. In the wake of the announcement of the second one I felt I had to give it another go. Also looking to play Resident 5 again from scratch. I can't handle the handicapped AI though. Couple of things I'm looking forward to such as Duke Nukem Forever and Dragon Age 2. Will be sticking to the usuals till then. FF XIII, Res 5, Gears 1 or FIFA 11. I have the L4D games too. Don't play them much due to not being liked by friends.

[TCM Revolver]

Replaying Final Fantasy XIII again. I
Awesome!!

I took a trip down memory lane and fired up the PS2 the other day. Playing Final Fantasy Tactics right now. Going to "hit" up Hitman, and maybe some Final Fantasy X

[I The K Train I]

Just talking about this today on twitter and with a lad in work. The way the NGP was announced, hoping this gets a port. My second fav FF game and my favourite FF story and music. It's just great.

[StepLaugh]

Halo Reach 360- Castlvania Lords of Shadow 360- Cave Story Wii -

Did you play during the community playdate?

[StepLaugh]

@ K train.

How do you play it again, much less beat it? haha

[I The K Train I]

@ K train.

How do you play it again, much less beat it? haha

Play FFX? First of all, know what you're doing with the sphere grid haha. That thing can mess you up! Other than that, bit of stratagy with characters and weapons and you should be well sorted. Of course with any FF game there is that part where you need to grind like a mofo. I like doing that in I Zanerkand ruins. Also, it's not the full game unless you get all the aeons and beat the dark aeons. A lot of that stuff wont really come in till later in the game though. Sphere grid is what to look for. Look up some builds online see which you think would be best for yourself and go for it.

Damn. I want to play this so badly now!

[StepLaugh]

I was talking about 13 hahaha

[I The K Train I]

I was talking about 13 hahaha

Oh dear me. Don't I feel the card. Eh.. Pretty much the same haha. Except the Crystarium (Sphere Grid in FFX) is straight forward. Thing to get your head around would be the Paradigms. Have the right combos available so you can swap in battle when the predicament changes. You'll be laughing the faces of your foes as you murder them.

Truly is a great game. I am thinking I need to play ff VII. Hands down my favorite game!

[I The K Train I]

Truly is a great game. I am thinking I need to play ff VII. Hands down my favorite game!

VII Was without a doubt the best. It didnt knock things up a notch, it knocked it up 10. I play it once a year and finish it on my PS3 an PSP. Top of my list of games anyways.

[Jebus]

Playing Call of Duty Black OPS and the zombie game play is sweet!

[RamblinMike]

Donkey Kong Country Returns and the new Goldeneye for Wii. And revisiting good old Age of Empires II.

[Hollomandious]

Replaying Final Fantasy XIII again. In the wake of the announcement of the second one I felt I had to give it another go.

They are making a second one? Damnit. They better not be tieing up the KingdomHearts Team more then FFXIII-VS already is. I need KingdomHearts3 damnit!

And thanks for the heads up, i was unaware of a sequel. Better not be FFX-2 all over again. Blegh.

[Hollomandious]

Playing Call of Duty Black OPS and the zombie game play is sweet!

Seconded. I just wish i was better at it then i am.

[Hollomandious]

I've been split between Black Ops and Bioshock2. Which is really weird for me, since i'm not a FPS kinda gamer. I'm a long ass RPG kinda guy.

[nikvoodoo]

I'm swapping back and forth between Madden '10, and Smackdown vs. Raw 2011. I've always found that I get into games briefly, and then I either finish them or get too bored with them.

The nice thing about Madden and SvR is you can always pick them up and play and then can put it down for months and it won't matter what was happening because you can just jump right back in.

[Pteranodon]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors....cause I'm stuck in the past....

Dude I know! I loved FFX. I think they messed up with FFX-2. Some joke of a game, felt like I was playing Charlies Angels. WTF is a dressphere!? Maybe they learned from Mistakes. Lightening is a bit of a bad ass character anyway. No way they can "Charlies Angel" her.

The Tralier is here. *****SPOLERS***** Don't watch if you didn't finish XIII http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bKJ36TxmnU

Been waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3 for so long. The first two were epic. Mixing Disney and FF? Who would have thought it would work. They should stop doing handheld games and do the proper console one.

[Spud]

I just beat Bioshock 2 the other day its pretty good the ending is pretty easy though i wont give any details away

[StepLaugh]

Yeah it's funny cause this game came out a while ago, but I'm playing it now too for the first time.

[Onslaught]

Have you played Oblivion the elder scrolls? Great game but it takes a while to really get into it.

[Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo]

been playing starcraft 2, im so bad at it but its a lot of fun to learn something new

[Craneses]

Yeah it's funny cause this game came out a while ago, but I'm playing it now too for the first time.

I just finished that game also, surprisingly I really enjoy the online multiplayer. =P

Right now I am playing Uncharted 2, trying to 100% the trophies.

I have a huge back catalog that I have to get too. It's the year of the PS3, so many games coming out this year.

[Destiny]

Nothing at the moment.

[Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo]

just started the witcher in prep for witcher 2 plus i never played it when it came out and so far i can't believe i missed it

[arnoldchouhan]

I am fan of PC game. I am playing Call OF Duty MW 4. It is War game.
http://islamabad.metblogs.com/archives/images/2008/02/COD4_MW.jpg

[Destiny]

Marvel vs Capcom 3

[VeritableHero]

Epic Mickey and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Was playing Just Cause 2 and Amnesia until my PSU blew up. Waiting on the RMA.

Hmm.. I just thought that a zombie mod for Just Cause 2 would be fun. Every explosion in the game would call more zombies... so, instead of raising heat level, you would raise the type of zombies that were attracted to your location.

Wow, that would be cool.

[cPT.cAPSLOCK]

I am fan of PC game. I am playing Call OF Duty MW 4. It is War game.
CoD4 is great - and better than MW2 and BO if you ask me.


[...] Was playing Just Cause 2 and Amnesia until my PSU blew up. [...]
Excellent choice of games also :)

I just wiped the dust of my Final Fantasy VIII discs again. The series is awesome, and you guys mentioning it again is bringing back old memories.
FF II / IV was the best one I think. I never managed to finish it (got stuck when having to find the 'Dark Elf'), but still it had one of the best story lines. Especially considering the limitations of the hardware when it was released.
I'm not much of a fan of the newer games though.

Lastly, I've got myself a copy of Test Drive Unlimited 2. It's a little arcade, but great to just cruise around while music is blowing out of my speakers. And damn, that game is large.
(Okay, Just Cause 2 is larger, but since you can fly there it still feels smaller. You can cross the whole map more quickly.)

[Meeks]

I'm a WoW player, through and through sadly. It's pretty fun, got a good group of friends I raid with, and as a little bit of shameless self promotion, I do live streaming typically nightly at about 9pm EST until about 1 or 2am at www.justin.tv/meeks436

I invite you all to come watch some times. I tend to have We're Alive going in the background while playing, so you might hear something familiar :P

[Onslaught]

Rediscovered the Hitman series again, I'm trying it on the hardest difficulty and I keep getting frustrated so I just take out all my guns and start slaughtering people, ah... the power of video games.

[MrScott101]

Still on Black Ops but come Tuesday I'll be hooked into KZ3 till the BO map pack comes out. That and torturing my oldest by telling he can't play KZ3 till he gets his own copy

[Destiny]

Well I was playing Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, but not anymore.

[Zombiehead]

Truly is a great game. I am thinking I need to play ff VII. Hands down my favorite game!

I remember it took me 4 months to finish this game in between homework time as a kid. I still own way too many FFVII collector's items... too many.

[TCM Revolver]

There is no such thing as too many ff7 collectors items. But if you feel the need to "donate" any I can hook you up w/ my address. :p j/k

There's nothing wrong with WoW other than it being The Taker of Souls. I played the free trial with my ex (who was a WoW fanatic), but I could never really get into it--mostly because I was a noob again and partly because he was off on an oil rig for weeks at a time. Besides, I'm more of a Guild Wars fan. I could definitely feel the threat of mmo addiction hovering dangerously close when I played it, though. Probably another reason I quit; I needed to focus on school.

[Zombiehead]

There's nothing wrong with WoW other than it being The Taker of Souls. This is a true statement. I'm trying to ween myself off of it. If I try to go cold turkey I'll be back in two weeks.

[ObamaCat]

I postponed my playthrough of Mass Effect 2 for Dead Space 2, both on my PS3. I'm really digging Dead Space, but at the same time I'm anxious to get back to Mass Effect. It's been taking me a while to get through both because of my busy school and work schedules, but I still manage to find nuggets of time here and there. When I'm finished with both of those I plan to kick back with some Halo Reach multiplayer until I can get my hands on Skyrim and Uncharted 3.

[Wicked Sid]

Skyrim... I'm going to loathe the day they release that game. I will, undoubtedly, lose a month or two.

... Most likely three.

[thomaspaul]

Now i am playing most popular game GTA 4.

[TCM Revolver]

Just got done taken my friend to school on NBA Jam!!

[hollowscream666]

i mostly play nazi zombies and all my highest round was 44 by myself and with 2 ppl it was 32 even tho i could of made it longer but i wanted to be the hero and well ya know died trying.

[Kc]

fallout new vegas.... bad thing to have for someone who's a completioninst...

[Wicked Sid]

You're still chipping away at New Vegas, Kc? Are you going for total game completion or just achievement completion?

[Britt]

Dragon Age: Origins. I have less than two weeks to complete it (again) before DA:2 comes out!

EEEEEEEEE

[Solanine]

Battlefield badcompany 2. I want to 1000 point it before I get Portal 2. Also Oblivion is on the list to complete, thieves guild and fighters guild still left :(

[Decomposed Ass2Ass]

Dead space 2, assassins creed 2, and some battlefield bad company 2/vietnam ^___^ loving dead space

[Craneses]

Working on Mass Effect 2, just finished Killzone 3.

[Ra1th]

Ahhhh me2 is like the greatest game i have ever played!

And rght now im playing phoenix wright ace attorney for iphone (that i got for a dollar hell yeaaaahhhhh!) its rly good i thnk the reviews rly underrated that game!

Haha love that game, i swear hes going to be a DLC character in marvel vs capcom 3.

[Chelsea C.]

Amnesia: The Dark Descent on Mac OS X.

[Craneses]

Amnesia: The Dark Descent on Mac OS X.

Is it any good? =o


And i quit mass effect 2 for now, want to finish killzone 2 on elite mode.

[Chelsea C.]

Is it any good? =o


And i quit mass effect 2 for now, want to finish killzone 2 on elite mode.

I just bought it, so I don't know if it lives up to the hype, but so far so good :D

[Ra1th]

Amnesia: The Dark Descent on Mac OS X.

ooh is that the first person horror game? that looks really intense!

[Chelsea C.]

Yeah, it's pretty scary thus far. There's a lot of suspense! O.o

[Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo]

marvel 3 and bulletstorm

[Spud]

Just got my Dawn of war 2 Retribution Special Edition Box set on Saturday.
http://thehut.pantherssl.com/design-assets/products/10300966/DawnL.jpg
Ive been playing it like crazy

here is the intro video (pure epicness)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMRHZG365o0

[Onslaught]

Bulletstorm, L4D2, Halo Reach, and Dead Space 2.

[Chelsea C.]

Ugh...so, as I've been (slowly) progressing through Amnesia, I've realized how terrifying it truly is...I'm not sure how far I'll get. When the lights go out and I hear heavy breathing, I flip!

[Kc]

Fallout New Vegas and Halo Reach. Don't play often, but I do here or there.

[Craneses]

Killzone 2! Trying to get the Valor Grand Cross trophy! =o

[Solanine]

I'm pretty sure we all will. I already lost near a hundred hours in oblivion and I'm not done yet. What you looking forward to in skyrim? Personally more in-depth spell and item creation would be appreciated but apart from that just the little improvement they've shown us so far are great. DRAGONS!

[RamblinMike]

I finally broke down and bought a 360 and LED-LCD. Just beat Red Dead Redemption and Halo 3. RDD might be the best game I've ever played. I'm downloading Undead Nightmare this payday.

But, for now, it's on to Fable III!

[Hellbringer]

I'm still cycling through my game library that I acquired when Hollywood Video and Game Crazy went out of business, but currently I just opened up my birthday gift of Medal of Honor, so that coupled with Call of Duty, Halo: Reach, You Don't Know Jack, and the occasional L4D or L4D2, I've been getting busy. Mass Effect is on my short list for sure though. That and Dead Rising 2.

[Craneses]

Finished Dragon age 2, just replaying for some trophies.

But am playing Bad company 2 a lot now. =P

[Solanine]

@Craneses Good to here that there is other people who like a little strategy to there shooters. What class do you play?

[j0be]

I finished Dead Space 2, but still plan to go through hardcore mode still.

But right now I'm playing through ModNation Racers. If I 100% both, I'm up to 30 platinums.

[Hellbringer]

Finally started Mass Effect a couple of days ago, and plan on doing it two or three more times (hardcore and insanity), so I know where you're at with DS2. I get the feeling though I won't be playing anything else until I'm done with Mass Effect. Mass Effect 2 is still in the wrapper waiting for my final save file, I guess.

[j0be]

Well, the interesting part about hardcore mode on Dead Space 2 is that you only get 3 saves for the entire game for that difficulty. If you die, you go all the way back to your last save.

[Craneses]

@Craneses Good to here that there is other people who like a little strategy to there shooters. What class do you play?

I'm starting to only play Rush, as there is more strategy to it than conquest. Attackers - I play Assault, and Recon for defenders. of course i switch it up when i want to.

How about you?

(Also recently bought the Vietnam DLC, i'm loving it as recon. =P)

That deff pissed me off, my load out was strictly plasma cutter and force gun. Got through it, and omg i love the hand cannon, made my zealot playthrough a breeze.

[MrScott101]

I haven't played anything in just over a week but I'm still playing Black ops and Kz3, just downloaded some plus perks today though

[Solanine]

As Attackers I will play medic (with G3) or Recon (VSS with 4x scope) depending on the number of snipers i my team/ squad. Defenders is engineer or recon again. I play rush only at the moment as well because conquest is too chaotic. Unfortunately i haven't bought Vietnam yet as I stopped using my xbox because of Minecraft. If you ever want a match just hit me up on xbox live Gamertag: Major0wnage 15 (I chose it as a child and lack the funds to change it). I'm also playing Alan wake at the moment but the sparsity of ammo is frustrating.

[cycogod]

http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb418/cycogod/Crysis_2.png


Crysis 2 - takes a bit to get into. but it is pretty good.

[Walrusgus]

Due to (in my opinion) a shortage of good games for the xbox at the moment, I have mainly been playing Minecraft. Been doing some multi and single player. I have also been playing a really fun online game called Happy Wheels. For those who don't know it, it is updated daily as it has an amazing level creator. It's not for everyone though. Plenty of zombie levels!

http://www.totaljerkface.com/happy_wheels.php

[Craneses]

http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb418/cycogod/Crysis_2.png


Crysis 2 - takes a bit to get into. but it is pretty good.

Yeah definitely does take a lot to get used to, its more stealth/armor based. Played a couple matches online, it's really cool, but I am having a gaming night for bad company later this week and i don't want to get my controls mixed up. Haha happens alot when i bounce between different shooters. (Throw a grenade when i want to melee or crouch. =P)

[Solanine]

Is there any Latency issues? I'm not sure whether to get it or not.

[cycogod]

http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb418/cycogod/500x_bangai.jpg


can't wait for this game..I still play the DreamCast version.

http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/03/31/bangai-o-hd-weapons-trailer

Treasure Software is the best

[timberwoof]

I'm not a big video game player, but when I do I have mostly been playing racing games. Gran Turismo, Need For Speed and the like. I also played Halo, Halo 2, and I still have Halo 3 in the plastic wrap from like 3 Christmases ago. Yeah, that's how often I play.

[VeritableHero]

Just finished StarCraft 2. Giving Company of Heroes a try (thank you, Steam sale!) and World of Goo. My backlog is crazy so I'm trying to pound through it before August hits.

[Yoyo]

I've been Playing Front Mission 3 from the PSN network on my PSP. I don't even play it often as much as i like though.

[Dyehardjr]

Has anyone heard of the MMORPG Dead Frontier? It is a browser based 3D Zombie Survival game that is just amazing. I have been playing for maybe half a year, and I think it is the greatest online zombie game ever!
If you are wondering what it is, search up 'deadfrontier.com' and watch the intro, or go onto youtube and search 'Dead Frontier 3D'. There are many videos for the 3D version, as the game is still in development, and 3D just came out this year. Even if it is new, the game is incredible!

You will have to download a free web player called "Unity Player" to play the game. It is completely free, and easy to install.

If you DO make an account, in the account creation page, be sure to type in my name, 'Dyehardjr', as the person that got you into Dead Frontier, and we will both get money once you reach level 10.
Hope to see you there, and ready to bash in some zombie skulls with a crow-bar... or maybe a chainsaw! :)
www.deadfrontier.com

[VeritableHero]

Has anyone heard of the MMORPG Dead Frontier?
I'll have to check this out at home.

No longer playing Company of Heroes. I really suck at that game.
Beat World of Goo and am on to Alpha Protocol or possibly Machinarium.

[Dyehardjr]

I'll have to check this out at home.

Great! Be sure to send me, 'Dyehardjr', an in-game-message once you get playing.
See you there!

[Craneses]

Starting Mass Effect 2. I'm so late.

[funkybabeone]

I am playing NFS Hot Pursuit 2010. Its really a nice game. Basically i love to playing racing games a lot.

[smalls kenobi]

i dont have much dough, so i'm re-playing all of my games. so the games i am playing are Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake, Tekken 6 and L4D.
the games i want to play are Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire, NFS: Hot Pursuit, Crysis 2, and Back to the Future The Game.

[Hellbringer]

I'm still playing through some of the games from Hollywood Video going out of business. However, I've owned the Orange Box since it came out, and I'm trogging through Half-Life 2 Episode 2 right now.

[ghrantt]

playing La Noire and dead money for fallout nv

[Luna Guardian]

Anno 1404. I like it, although I'd like to have a "Skip One Minute Forwards" button like there was in Settlers 4 (Which I also love)

[ilanagl]

I'ce been playing some black ops and L4D but honestly I don't play that much.

[BoomerXL]

I'm playing a few games right now (a bit of each one whenever time lets me) L.A. Noire, Mortal Kombat, Infamous 2 and Outland

[mylittlepwny]

Well I was playing Duke Nukem forever until I took it back the day after for now Halo reach and Black ops and soon Deus ex human revolution

[Luna Guardian]

Sword of the Stars. Just started, but it looks promising

[Hellbringer]

Just finished Mass Effect 2 the other night while on Staff Duty. Might start up my other profile and try to do the minimums while keeping everyone alive, since that character is a female renegade. Might have to buy that "Arrival" DLC as well, since I want to 100% the game.

[Luna Guardian]

I restarted the Mass Effect series in preparation for the Mass Effect 3 coming out next year. Finished ME1 on level 60 and restarted ME2 on my Paragon Soldier, thinking about starting ME1 with a Renegade Adept. But the side quests are so TEDIOUS!

[Hellbringer]

I went back and played as a Renegade Engineer and finished at level 56. My Paragon adept is almost done, and I had to skip some of the side quests, too. Exploring in that Mako got boring but the main story was definitely worth doing again. I should pop that disc back in and finish that file since it was done up to Ilos, I believe.

[mylittlepwny]

As soon a Deus Ex 3 Comes out i will be playing that myself

[Hollomandious]

Dude I know! I loved FFX. I think they messed up with FFX-2. Some joke of a game, felt like I was playing Charlies Angels. WTF is a dressphere!? Maybe they learned from Mistakes. Lightening is a bit of a bad ass character anyway. No way they can "Charlies Angel" her.

The Tralier is here. *****SPOLERS***** Don't watch if you didn't finish XIII http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bKJ36TxmnU

Been waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3 for so long. The first two were epic. Mixing Disney and FF? Who would have thought it would work. They should stop doing handheld games and do the proper console one.

Replies to 6 month old message, yeah, i got that.

Don't rag on the portable KH. The DS one was awesome. And the PSP one was just that much better. And they give great insight into the story over all. Loves em.

But i really really really want FFXIII-VS. It just looks like KH on evil steroids.

But for now, it's still all about the Call Of Duty Black Ops Zombie modes. Been playing them non-stop since i got introduced to them. And did ya all hear, those re-mastered maps from the Prestige/Hardened versions of the game are gonna be part of the next map pack that is all.... ZOMBIES! and a new Board on the moom. On the effin moon? Schwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeet...

[Zombiehead]

Just finished GTA IV

[Hellbringer]

I really need to jump back into Monkey Island 2, but I have this hankering for some First Person Shooter and the only game I have left for that genre that i haven't beaten is Frontlines: Fuels of War. decisions, decisions.

[smalls kenobi]

I'm playing Red Dead Redemption now, it's pretty Rad so far.

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

Just bought "Gears of War III" today so it'll be here in 2 days.

[Solanine]

Interesting. Still not sure whether its worth it. Didn't play much gears 1 r two and I don't want just another Bro shooter. On the other hand Gears has always had the potential to be a darker, less machismo game. This interests me.

[reaper239]

if you're looking for a more sophisticated shooter, look no further than deus ex: human revolution. that game is pimpin. but one of my all time fav shooter has to be operation flashpoint: red river. the characters are kind of meatheaded but the gameplay is really sweet.

[Solanine]

Hmmm, Deux us: human revolution is on my list of games to get next year when they're £20 on amazon. I'd love to buy it full price but I'm broke.
I've never played a OF game. Although I love the tactical strategic parts of Battlefield (Battlefield 2142 being my favourite, being a commander, ordering about squads and a giant airship is just plain awesome), I never really saw the attraction of OF. It always seemed like a kick in the balls to me. A blend would be nice. Unfortunately at the moment I'm a console baby so I'll b getting a watered down version of B3. Shame but GOD pc gaming is expensive (hardware more than software).

[reaper239]

i fell in love with OF dragon rising, but until i got used to it, it absolutely was a kick in the balls. it's amazing with three friends though. yeah i'm stoked for bf3, that is gonna be off the chain, ouf da heezee. i am disappointed that they made the console version dumbed down. regardless, my clan is stoked too, there's gonna be some epic HOD movies hitting the you tubes after bf3 drops

I just got OF Dragon Rising..bit of a backlog. Played the first 'mission' - jesus that was a wakeup call. Talk about not being CoD. Thank god for that. Finally something cerebral.
Also playing through a few other oldies I missed first time around - Crackdown 2, Forza 3, Alpha Protocol and still in love with my precious BFBC2 online.

Im Replaying Halo Reach in Anticipation for the Halo CE Aniversary and Halo 4. Getting Ready to Get Dead Island, Revisiting Assasins Creed Revalations.

[reaper239]

dude i love alpha protocol, must've played through that like 4 times and i'm still finding new stuff. but yeahi lent dragon rising to a buddy of mine who was in the corps (counter terror unit or something like that) and he loved it, having to take your time, having to watch your shots, not killing everything like some unstopable death machine. red river is both better and worse: better because they improved the controls, added some weapon customization, and perks (not like walk on water crap, i mean like training, extra grenades, extra ammo etc) so you really get to have more control over your character, but where they messed up was they made the game more narrow, it's still broader in scope than COD or even BC2 (campaign wise) but you don't get as much freedom, and you don't get to use vehicles as much. i could go on but for my full review look here (http://www.hodclan.com/entry.php?63-Reaper-s-Corner-of-Red-River)

www.hodclan.com but being from britain, you'll probably role better with WDW http://www.wdwclan.co.uk it's our sister clan in britain. it was a few guys from over there who joined up, good guys, but because of the time difference we were never able to game together so they started a UK based version of HOD
HOD = Harbingers of Destruction
WDW = Who Dares Wins
but yeah, bc2 is def not the game to role alone. blueberrys are no help and the likely hood of getting a good squad of randomz goes down the closer we get to bf3

nope, i'm a yank, more specifically i'm a texan. born and raised. i live in maryland now because my old man was in the army and we moved a lot but i spent most of my childhood in different parts of texas. anyway, if you're looking for some good guys to game with check out either, HOD or WDW.

I have ONE shotgun so far... and it's orange, I think. I'll have to check tonight when I jump back online at some point.

I have my stats from the Xbox Rewards webpage. I show that I played the first Mass Effect for 297 hours while for Mass Effect 2, I only played for -- well is was 190-something but now it the total hours is 301. That can't be right. I am positive that last week the stats showed I played for 191 hours on Mass Effect 2.

I can't throw any gauntlets down if the data changes on me. Great.

Now, I'm looking forward to doing Gears of War 3. Especially for tomorrow night when we have the playdate set.

I heard the boss battles were unbalanced because those bits were contracted out to another company. Other than fighting bosses, I've heard great things about the game.

[Hollomandious]

PS3 COD BlackOps Zombies. The last map pack was entirely Zombies.

It's all i ever play.

[Grognaurd]

Yea, I picked up black ops for that reason and reinforced by the 3D. I loaded the first zombie map just to take a look see. Pretty cool. But, I have never played with that FPS engine. Call me a wimp since Halo is more my speed. But, I am on the downhill side of 40, so I think that earns me so remedial points. I can be on a map that I know and my young cousin (I am old enough to be his uncle) can kick my butt. Its all good. I have a lot of fun. When playing a game, I check my ego (and the need to win at any cost) in the other room. I am too fat and too lazy to carry a grudge and old enough to have the attitude if this sesssion of gaming is the worst thing that happens to day I consider myself blessed. 8 )

Batman Arkham City!!

Well, to be honest, my daughter plays it. But I can witness that it looks f'n awesome! It's funny as hell to hear a 15 year old girl giggle when a bad guy gets kicked in head in slo mo. hahah.

[reaper239]

i picked up a case of the blops, but i traded my copy within like a month. i hadn't played it for over two weeks by that point. i gotta say, MW3 is prolly a rent for me, BF3 is where it's at.

This is something I don't quite get. These generic FPS games are multiplayer experiences, why do people need 10 of them?

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

Same as getting Madden every year I guess.

[Luna Guardian]

Same as getting Madden every year I guess.
See, I don't get that either :D

[reaper239]

call of duty is the same thing with tweaks in every succesive game. i like battlefield because it is a lot different from COD. it requires teamwork and coordination, you can use HMMWVs, tanks, APCs, and aircraft. my clan actually had a thread devoted to tactics we used in battlefield. everything from how to clear a room, to taking out armored vehicles, to two seperate teams working in tandem. there was a lot of strategy involved (i know, my nerd is showing). one of my favorite FPSs was MAG. it required a lot of similar strategizing, but was massive in scale. on top of that, with things like fire support, coordinating squad movements, platoon and company structure, etc., it was downright epic. one of my personal favorites is Operation Flashpoint: Red River, which doesn't have competitive multiplayer, but has co-op, but what makes OF:RR stand out from the rest is the intense realism. it's toned down slightly from Dragon Rising, but it's still way more intense than COD or even BF. there is no run and gun, or running up on people with a knife; when you are in close proximity to enemies, you actually feel stress because they can kill you as easily as you can kill them.

the bottom line is there are some games that carbon copy COD, and there are a lot of things that are similar between games, but there are differences that change the gameplay experience. and no i don't get every shooter that comes out, if they don't implement something that catches my attention, i don't even bother.

btw i don't get the madden thing either, but then, i'm not a big sports guy.

[Luna Guardian]

MAG was awesome, by far my favorite multiplayer FPS to date. Other than that, there're a few FPS games that do something exciting, usually story driven ones like Resistance. But to each his own, I guess, I'll just never understand this FPS craze...

*leaves muttering about the good old days of Metal Gear Solid and in-depth story driven games*

[reaper239]

what about deus ex human revoloution?hugely story driven, intense, tight action, etc. the only reason i didn't mention it is because we were talking about multiplayer. there's a lot of good story driven FPSs, but there's not a lot that do something totally new and fresh in the realm of multiplayer. btw mgs wasn't an FPS, and if you're bringing that up then i have no choice *cracks knuckles* dead space. totally pimpin.

[Hellbringer]

I'm a big Soccer nut but I don't buy FIFA every year because it feels like it falls under the Madden Syndrome. I don't see a need to plop down 60 dineros for basically a few "tweaks" (which were present a couple of versions previously and taken out later) and an updated team roster. I do buy it every 2 or 3 years though, I feel that those changes are enough at that point in the game history to warrant buying a new copy. But not every year.

As for the FPSes, not all games play the same. Granted Call of Duty comes out every year, but for every Call of Duty set in World War II or the somewhere else in the 20th century, there's tons of other options and they all play differently. For better or for worse. But I play First Person Shooters mostly for the story. If the gameplay for a series pisses me off (like COD: World at War), I basically boycott the studio who made the game and won't buy the game myself. I have reluctantly played COD: Black Ops though because of a couple of friends and family, but nowhere near the time I have invested in other shooting games.

I know that not every FPS is identical, but I still feel that the CODs and BFs are. There definitely are story driven FPSs, but they're few and far between. At least the good ones.

I'm also well aware that MGS is not an FPS (thank the gods for that!), but it's still the kind of game I'd like to see more often: intense story, excellent gameplay and enough length to make it worth the money spent on it.

i get that, but that's why i play games like mass effect 2, and fallout 3/new vegas. granted fallout isn't as intensive in the story telling realm but the scope and size and the amount of stuff are what drive me. yes if you're not as into shooters cod and bf seem unremarkably similar, but for die hard shooter fans, the differences are as clear as day. (i'm talking about the people who buy cod every year and buy every fps released) but for my money, when i need a great story, the most hardcore action, and the smoothest shooter gameplay i've ever played, it doesn't get better than the singleplayer for MOH, the latest medal of honor game. that was fantastic. if only danger close had done the multi, or if dice hadn't dropped the ball, it would've been amazing.

[Luna Guardian]

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this point then :). Now run along and shoot those commie-nazi terrorists or whatever you people do in FPSs these days :p

[reaper239]

ok i'll go do that while you run down some world ending robot... or 30 ;)

You probably will beat it tonight- the storyline was interesting at least.

Horde mode is awesome as ever tho too :)

[BoomerXL]

Just got done with Batman Arkham City....it was an amazing experience...now I wanna go back and finish it on Hard mode as well as finish up the side missions and collectibles

Horde Mode is fun, but I can never get past wave 20 because people end up quitting before that point, and it's feels impossible to make it past that point with 2 or 3 people left.

I'm more of a Beast Mode guy... sure there's a Transformers joke in there somewhere.

[Gilbert]

we should make like a group or something so we don't have people quitting the game.

Skylanders Spyros Adventure
Bejeweled 3
War of the Worlds
Jaws Revenge
and maybe some Red Dead Redemption or Grand Theft Auto 4 this weekend.

Black ops or Modern Warfare 3. My little cousin keeps beating me a lot. It is sad that a 10 year old is that much better than me... ugh.

Dark Souls.

After beating Skyrim and Dead Island, I figured "Why not get my ass kicked for 60 hours?"

And to be honest, it is damn fun.

[Luna Guardian]

Dead Island and Assassin's Creed. I also have about 10 games that I need to play, but I need a huge ass long vacation to do that...

[Hellbringer]

I'm stuck in a hotel for a week so I'm playing through some of my Xbox Arcade games. Right now, I'm sifting through Bastion, which isn't bad. The narrator really helps makes the game interesting.

[Solanine]

Currently playing Skyrim (as I have been since it came out in november) and Minecraft.
Currently preparing for the WA minecraft server to get up and running (daredevil is providing the server) by
practicing with redstone and have started a "Hardcore" game (I'm in competition with a friend over whom can become richest on hardcore, currently working out a scoring system based on Iron, Gold and Diamond blocks along with rare items like golden apples). Currently close too one hundred Iron blocks and 30-ish gold blocks.

[Hellbringer]

Homefront is my hold over game right now. Just finished the campaign, and while short, it was more enjoyable than any post COD:MW storyline I've played through thus far (COD and its sequel were great, but after that, I think everyone's expectations made the stakes too high).

Being an achievement hunter, I'm going to take a slight break from Battlefield (only slight) until I hit that Level 50 multiplayer achievement.

[looney]

A lot of us from r/cigars on reddit have been playing World of Tanks. Free to play, fun as hell, and you get to blow up tanks. Other than that, I'm playing Fallout 3 since I missed out on it when it was new. After I finish Fallout 3, I'm playing through Red Dead Redemption since I missed out on that as well.

[daredevil]

Saints Row The Third and Skyrim. Two polar opposites... :D

[Nathan.Luiz]

I've been playing Fallout 3 a lot recently, mainly because it is the greatest game to have ever been created. Already completed it about 20 times but I love it so much that whenever I finish it, I just create a new character and start again :)

I was playing L.A. Noire, Rayman: Origins, Battlefield 3, Portal 2, and Gears of War 3. My Xbox HDD died (in two weeks >:() so I've been back on iOS and PSP. Bunch of Burnout Legends, Tiny Tower, and a few Chillingo games I have to review.

that's balls dude, that happened on my first xbox like three years ago and i just got another one a couple months ago. and it was just so i could play with my buddy. i'm trying to burn through ME2 one more time, while getting the best ending. that means i'm spending a lot of time shmoozing my crew.

Glad to see someone enjoying that game. I bought it for my son as a birthday gift (it's not his birthday yet), and then I read the reviews. He's more into the whole Resident Evil story, so the flaws will probably go unnoticed as major setbacks for him. However, I did worry a bit. But if I see things like this, then I feel better.

Sooooo.... stuck in a hotel until May. No internet for Xbox Live, but have regular internet. Brought my Kinect, though, so I figured I'd knock out some of the achievements I normally don't get a chance to do. I need to "finish" up the following:

Fruit Ninja Kinect (2 achievements left)
Your Shape: Fitness (need to burn 5000 calories... and I will do it legitimately)
Dance Central 2 (uh, I'll only get a couple of achievements on this one). Fun as all heck, but I'm the average non-dancing dude. In addition, I have no party going on in my room, so no friends drunk dancing.
Some of the Kinect Fun Labs stuff (yeah, too many off the top of my head)

I do have ME3 with me, but I'm only 1 achievement short of 100% and I want to get that one while playing multiplayer.

I do have other Xbox arcade games, but I need to do a lot of studying as well, so the Kinect games gets the love from me while I'm stuck here.

Got the Fruit Ninja Kinect achievements that were remaining.
Played up some World of Keflings, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, and Unbound Saga. I am missing the multiplayer achievements from them, so I'll get those when I get back as well.

Might play Renegade Ops, From Dust, or Crimson Alliance until I get back.

Shogun 2 TW FOTS.

Should get around to finishing Kingdom of Amalur Reckoning too, but just got annoyed and I'm about near the end..i think.

I played the demo, shamefully to get the ME3 weapons and armor, but I did enjoy it. The bad part about playing Kingdoms of Amalur is that the studio is going down, so it looks like there will not be anything new added to the game.

If I didn't have such a big backog of games already, I'd probably be playing this right now.

On another note, I did receive Ghost Recon Future Soldier in the mail after a lengthy pre-order and am playing it. It's fun, but after having a certain mentality from playing Battlefield, GoW3, Halo, ME3, and other shooters, I was in for a shock on how to play this one. It is definitely a different play style.

I finally broke down and bought Saints Row the Third! I was waiting for the price to drop on Steam. But I am awfully happy with my purchase. I heard many good and bad things about it but sometimes the ridiculousness of the game makes you roll your eyes. But I very much enjoy the crazy missions coupled with great aiming and overall gameplay this game plays way smoother than it has any right to given the crazy things you do.

I really do think that this installment pushes the series far away from the "this is justa GTA rip off" and into its own bracket.

Oh and ***SPOLIER*** their zombies are a bit meaner then dead island zombies.

Sad to hear the studio going down. Had a lot of hype around it. Was hoping to see the MMO they were talking about. Ah well.

Is ME3 any good? Keep hearing about the ending(s?) being garbage. Pick it up but having gotten around to playing it yet. Hoping they'd release some dlc to fix it if it's actually true.

If the ending(s) was in any other game, it wouldn't have been bad. However, Bioware has developed a huge reputation for its storytelling ability and the use of having multiple options available to players. The ending for ME3 just doesn't quite fit the bill that most players expected. Bioware is releasing some kind of update that will explain the ending(s) better, but that's later this summer.

Overall, the game is great. Multi-player isn't bad and the single player journey itself is fantastic.

Here are the games I am currently playing... (PS3)

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13
NHL 13
Skyrim

When I beat Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 (100% it) I want to get StarHawk

[VEE]

FIFA 12 (this is my favourite)
Walking Dead - Episode 1 (Downloaded, played, enjoyed it but just too scripted for me I think)
Skyrim (Got a bit bored with it)

I skipped FIFA 12. I'm still on FIFA 10 and 11. But I plan on getting FIFA 13.

FIFA 10 - Flawed
FIFA 11 - Flawed
FIFA 12 - Flawed
FIFA 13 - ? (you know what's coming!)

They have all had their problems, but overall 12 is better. I play in a club with other people mostly, not much 1 v 1 so it’s a social thing as well.

Yeah, I felt a difference between 10 and 11. I played 06 and 08, and I swear that EA cycles through a lot of the game mechanics. Something like this:

"Oh, this worked great two years ago. Let's put it back in there, but rename it so the gamers think it's new."
"That's a brilliant idea, Steve. But we should take out this other feature to put it back in next year."
"That's great, Ray. Now, let's go down to the bar and have a drink to celebrate. I can smell the money coming in right now!"

And that's why I skip a year or so. (The wife bought me FIFA 11, so that messed me up on my cycle.)

Most of the development for 12 went into fixing everything that was wrong with 11. Well, after they had worked on Ultimate Team, which is what they care about most as it is a big earner.

In 12 we got the impact engine, it's awful.

Still playing Skyrim, I took about a month long break though, slowly getting back into it, getting ready for the new DLC thats supposed to come out later this year, as well as The Walking Dead...bought all five episodes, absoulutely loved the first one

[Red Shirt]

Lately, I've been playing assorted mods of Half Life 2. Notably SMOD 4.0. It adds a whole bunch of new features like Bullettime, kicking and being able to use iron sights, as well as new weapons like a silenced MP5, Dragunov SVD, AK47, Karabiner 98, and much, much more.

SMOD2 is apparently out now, I'll be checking it out soon.

[Hellbringer]

Still trudging through Ghost Recon Future Soldier. Trying to get one of my classes to level 50; currently at 44. Once I'm done though, I'm switching to Spec Ops: The Line. Oh, and The Walking Dead: Episode Two as well.

I think only two people on my friends list is playing Ghost Recon so I just give up on it after I've hit 50.

[VEE]

Bought Mass Effect 3 a couple of weeks ago, awful, awful game. I seem to spend most of my time watching cut scenes, long long cut scenes, it's boring and I can't be arsed to finish it.

are you kidding me? that game is a triumph of story and action. yes it does get a little slow between missions, but that just makes the action that much sweeter IMO. getting into that multiplayer so i can get the green ending.

Yesterday I sat for 4 minutes, doing nothing at all, nothing, just watching, what was, essentially, an OK animation, it was boring.

[reaper239]

well, to each their own. try the multi, it's fun and has considerably less cut scenes.

I guess the fact that I never played the other two might be a factor.

[reaper239]

not really, i mean yes, as far as sheer story goes, not playing the others does play a role, but when it comes to game play, this is actually the best one imo. this one is a little more narrative intensive than the last one in the sense that this one has a little more down time if you choose to explore all your options outside of the missions.

If you're looking for action, ME3 gets insane at the end.... you just have to play 'till then

Played it a bit last night, it's picked up a bit, but the start is sooooo slow.

[daredevil]

Yeah, it almost put me off of it, but people said it was good and my god. The ending gameplay was Beastly. Have you put your gameplay choice on Action? or whatever it was called.

[VEE]

No, roleplay, that's what it said was the usual play mode at the beginning.

If you're looking for more action change it to the action (I think) setting.

I haven't really been playing much in the way of retail games lately, nothing has really caught my eye, though there are some games coming out soon that I'm very interested in, mostly I've been playing PSN games lately, if you guys haven't checked out The Walking Dead game, you should give it a look, especialy if you're a fan of the comics, the story is great so far...and the second episode (which released this Friday) was especially intense.

If you're interested at all, the games are reminiscent of the old "point & click" style of games, though much more interactive, most of the time you'll be involved in conversations with the different survivors you come across...and the coolest part of the game is that all the choices you make in and out of conversation affect the way the game evolves for you, I especialy liked the art style of the game, they used a cel shaded look for the game which works really well.

Just finished Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and I'm selling it back to Amazon. Getting ready to plug away at Spec Ops: The Line.

Did play Walking Dead: Episode 1 and really enjoyed it. Bought Episode 2 with no hesitation and will probably jump on it this weekend (they are short after all, but really well written and enjoyable). Highly recommend that series.

I was told by Rooster Teeth, whos opinion I trust whole-fully that Spec Ops The Line is a good game. I have also seen some gameplay and it looks fairly good

eh, to each their own. i know that able (my gamestop guy) and i have almost identical tastes in games, so when he says give it a pass, i can usually be airly certain that i wouldn't like it. can't really think of any exceptions at this point.

I preordered Spec Ops and got in the mail last week. I got to play the first four chapters last night (and missed an achievement of staying alive by like 3 minutes). I enjoyed it. Also, the IGN guys seemed to like it.

Don't get me wrong on Ghost Recon, I really liked the single player story, but the multiplayer is definitely not my style. And no, COD is not me; I'm more of a Halo ro Battlefield dude.

mah man, haven't tried the multi yet, but the campaign is sick. i am also in love with the weapon customization.

[DogFromDuckhunt]

Picked up ME3 and waited until that extended DLC to go through it. All kinds of sad about how it doesn't measure up to ME2. Bogged down with time wasting cutscenes and constant loading, which felt worse because you pratically lived in the elevators. A few great battles. Tachanka, Citadel. Pretty game. Loved seeing the Geth. Alpha Primes. Brutes. Some great stuff. Still felt like I was just supposed to be distracted from the irritating moments because they put so much time and effort into ass shots and cameltoes. Endings aren't doing it any favors. At least give me a Shepard/Jack True Romance ending.

It wasn't that bad...

[DogFromDuckhunt]

^It wasn't. Just didn't feel like I got out what I put in where the end was concerned. Still love the series. If thats the last game, hoping they open it up for books/graphic novels. Milk it like star wars.

Went back to Crusader Kings 2 since I got the Game of Thrones mod for it. Fingers crossed I run across a dragon at some point. Just keep getting ruined with incest/insanity/gonorrhea. My lords refuse to let anybody else take there daughters virginity. And they always have crazy hunchbacks from it.

no one has put much in a while but transformers fall of cybertron its awesome the way is changes a aspect of a shooter is great

Fall of Cybertron was fun. And while the multiplayer was great, working on those achievements was not. But I did 100% it.

Right now, I'm all about FIFA 13 and Borderlands 2.

What system you playing on? This is all I've been playing since it came out, the game is so much fun, been going solo though, but I'm down for some co-op, I'm on the PSN though

[Luna Guardian]

Guild Wars 2 is everything I had hoped of it. As my first foray into the world of MMORPGs, this is excellent and really sets the bar for future titles
