Video Games What video games are you currently playing?

not expecting a big open world but definitely some good level design. hidden rooms and passages can be the difference between total immersion and boredom, for me at least.

I'm going to hopefully buy the first Deus Ex tonight on Steam.

lol

ug lame

Third play through of dragon age 2, giving conversation answers I wouldn't pick myself, with some odd results...

Might & Magic Heroes VI

It sucks.

lol why ?

i dropped it myself though, i wasn't really in the mood for this type of game anymore, but it wasn't bad at all or that much different from the previous ones.

I just can't stand the cartoony/world of warcraft look to it.

Also it don't have that whole stronghold upgrade thing going. It's just a boring menu. That was one of the most fun things about the old games. sigh.

yeah that was a bummer indeed, and it's so easy to implement i don't see why they ditched it. i guess the look didn't shock me that much cause i played the 5th part before that, i don't even remember how 3rd looks like.

300 free indie games! i've got a couple of friends with entries on it.

I'm giving Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood another shot. Although I finished the first 2 games and did most of the side-stuff in the second one, I hated a lot of things about this series. Mostly because it got really repetitive and boring at a certain point.

But this is much, much better. More variety, some really neat dungeons/temples and I actually enjoy the economy stuff this time. Combat system is still a bit meh, but the game encourages you to avoid combat more often than not, so it's not that bad. I don't really know what's going on with the story though. Can't get into this pompous mystery shit.

fantastic game! I just got back from visiting family in southern Ontario, so I'm gonna make a long night tonight spent playing it. Can't wait to see how the story unravels.

I'm revisiting Gran Turismo 4, it's gonna take FOREVER to unlock everything i used to have again

Why not play GT5, and invest the time in that - the price is lowered (39.99USD), and the new 2.0 patch adds a LOT of stuff. I'm glad in retrospect I waited picking it up, although I love GT so much.

Demon's Souls - NOW I understand what they mean by hard - I'm in New Game+, and the WT is black all the time (anything to do with Halloween and the DS servers by any chance?), and every enemy and attack is LV3, so even though I'm at Soul Level 100, Octopus Men and their friggin stasis magic is a 1 hit KO for me, and that black phantom at the beginning of 4-1 can go to freaking hell.

I recently beat Chrono Trigger for the first time. All my friends are telling me to unlock the other endings but it seems like a waste of time.

I started playing Megaman 2 this afternoon and I defeated all the Robot Masters. I'm going to have to take a whole night off to complete Wily's stage.

I also continued playing my Chrono Cross game near the end of the game.

Finished Deus Ex: HR

Quite enjoyed the ending I chose.

God of War Collection pt2

about halfway through Chains of Olympus, looks total shit at the beginning but gets much better further down the line. Fewer enemies on screen than the PS2 versions but they're a little more cunning which makes for good gameplay tho I have noticed the odd glitch here and there. So far Chains of Olympus falls somewhere between GoW and Gow2 and Kratos has some sweet moves.

Fantastic games. I'm gonna go back and platinum them when I get some time.

I'm playing BF3 and I'm loving it. For some reason I'm playing through the campaign on normal. I'm such an idiot, I get a gold trophy if I beat the game on hard. I'm dying a lot in the campaign, it's pretty tough in some spots. Well, I'm gonna beat the game on normal, then play through on hard. At least I'll know the levels and where the scripted enemies appear. Multiplayer is amazingly fun too.

I love the God of War games. I'm a sucker for anything set in ancient Greece, even a bizarro Michael Bay-type Greece. Wish they'd get a release on the 360.

Arkham City is ridiculously overwhelming.

I've wondered how a non-fan would react to it. Even as a fan I thought there was a little too much going on at once. Don't get me wrong; every subgame is good and well-realised, there are no faults with the mechanics, but they just seem to pile-up pretty quickly.

Got Pixeljunk Sidescroller last night - great little game, awesome raster-screen effect, but seems a bit light on gameplay...
