is the bomb! its so hard to get baseball games in the UK unless you get it online, shoudl be getting 2k12 if its any better, but 2k sorts games (at least baseball) seem to be a bit samey.

Now playing Vanquish. My first japanase shooter, and it really feels japanese. In a good sense

i'm still playing skyrim =(

Looking to start playing Syndicate when I have some time.

Too busy with my full time Chinese study to play any games at the moment. I was stuck somewhere between the first and second level, so I chose the harder one. I'm with a bunch of Japanese and Korean girls who don't speak any English, and my teacher doesn't use any English in class.

the learning curve of this fucker is more or less a sheer cliff face with streaks of blood down the side of it.

I honestly think they need to simplify that game a bit. There are some rather pointless things that make it more complex than it should be in dumb ways.

I heard there was a big update; have they changed how the army system works? It was confusing as shit last time I played it.

Still plodding away in Amalur, though I can now only play it in short bursts and no more than every other day... the terrible writing and unmemorable characters are getting stale, though I'm encountering quests which do have interesting premises, even if they are standard rpg fare.

FFXIII-2 is getting weirder and weirder, and now that I've finally bothered unlocking Med setups for Serah and Noel both, everything is incredibly easy. It's kinda sad, really.

I'm getting really stoked for borderlands 2 already! Looking forward to the new characters, abilities and roles... playing through BL1 for the eleventh or twelve time, I'll probably get four more playthroughs out of it before BL2.

Oh yes, can't wait for that. Loved the first one. May have to attack that again.

i really want to play this. it looks like a fun play.

i got the vita over the weekend. uncharted + wipeout look and play amazingly (although the touch controls tacked onto uncharted are all pretty horrible and uncalled for..).

Oh man. Can't wait for this.

I hope it will have more story/dialouge this time around, and not just endless grinding. The General Knoxx DLC had its funny moments. More of that please

Also.. That trailer was terrible. I'm sick of all these brostep game trailers.

Finished Bastion, such an amazing game.

They've said in interviews that it will have a much bigger focus on story than BL1... so we'll see how that plays out :D

And I actually like that song, oddly enough.

i dunno; i started with the current build but switched to an older one because there's hardly any tutorials for the new one. i haven't been raided yet, just been carving out shit down/into a mountain. it's very obvious where the minecraft influence came from, that's absolutely for sure.

Has anyone played Rayman Origins?

If so.. is it worth picking up?

^play it multiplayer!

got a cheap ps3 and played infamous twice thru, got infamous2 and its kinda wearing off

been looking for decent exclusives for ps3, probs get gt5 next, looking at g25 force feedback wheel or move or kinect maybe

It is amazing, I only played the demo but I had so much fun. It brought back the joys of gaming when I played the original one as a teenager back in '97.

I've been playing Bad Company 2 for ps3 lately. There are still a bunch of people playing it. Maybe I'll get back into Battlefield 3.

Won't be playing anything online for the next week though as I'm moving tomorrow, and the company that's setting up my internet doesn't have time free until March 8th to come and install it at my new place. Looks like I'll be playing single player games. Maybe I'll go back and platinum God Of War 3 and maybe a few others. I may take the time to finally finish reading Law Of Nines by Terry Goodkind too.

Just started SCP-087 B last night. If LSD: Dream Emulator and Amnesia had a devil child this would be the spawned result -

Recommended for those that enjoy the staircase loading screens on Resident Evil ...

here is the original story that inspired the game if you are interested

http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-087

FYI: that entire site has hundreds of creepy short story/transcript type things based around a fictional company called The foundation, a lot of them remind me of x-files, its good to kill many hours.

Funnily enough that was the first place I came to as I thought it was the official site for the game (I don't really trust randomly linked Mediafire links from Youtube for downloads). There's definitely some good (as you say) ol' school conspiracy/ghost story type stuff on there ...

Just finished Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and I must say the final battle was beautiful as fuck. I think I am going to play Vagrant Story now.

Gotta get those five fragment things in FFXIII-2... fuck that. I've got four and I can't find the gate in Academia 400 AF, probably because I'm blind. Tried to kill that giant cie'th there, but got my ass handed to me six or seven times, so i'll grind some levels tomorrow or something.

I like it. The web site it's based on is really cool too, spent a few hours reading it.... keep dying at like 14th floor though, haven't even gotten to that stairwell.

there's definitely a light sprinkling of house of leaves in there, too.

finding out Artkham City takes forver to 100% complete... I beat the main stoary and all the side quests except the riddler, finding all 400 trophies and riddles is kind of a bitch... Probably going to revisit Arkham Asylum this weekend too, damn good games they are
