LOL at including Aphex Twin in another context, hoping it would enhance the experience.

Girlfriend just got me Unchartered 3, so I've been playing that a bit lately. Also still working through Ocarina of Time.

I also just got a Supa Boy for my birthday, it's essentially a portable Super Nintendo for those who don't know. Been playing Mega Man X2 on there. Love it

I've just been using emulators.

Rediscovered this excellent Solitaire collection for Windows. So many versions of solitaire.

Bowling Solitaire is by far my favorite.

Juct bought Mercenaries 2 for PS3. I remembered loving the first one because of the 'blow everything up' element it had to it. Never completed the first one in the end but I reckon I will on this one. It's good to have a game where you essentially just destroy everything you can without too much planning or stratagy. It'll give me a bit of a break from Battlefield online for a while.

im thinking of getting super meat boy for 360, is it worth it? im not even really sure what it is, i just remember there were a lot of talk about it a couple years ago.

Shadows of the Damned.

There's a lot of knob jokes

Is Closure any good?

Do you like really hard platformers? I thought it was decent, but it's hard to make that formula fresh.

I might actually recommend N+ over Super Meat Boy - I found it more fun and just as difficult. It also has some fun multiplayer modes.

I'm sure it's not as good as Meat Boy, but I played Jumper so much in highschool that I don't even want to play meat boy.

finally finished Limbo. I listened to SAW2 throughout, it complemented the atmosphere quite nicely. it's a neat little game, though I'm not a fan of dying a lot.

That means you missed out on Limbo's already incredible soundtrack, shame on you.

anyone going to Quakecon this year in Dallas? that would be cool, as it would give me another excuse to go alone

played gw2 all weekend, impressive.

bored now, im all out of games to entertain me

was gonna get super meat boy but ended up getting bully: scholarship edition and dante's inferno instead (i just realized you can buy faily cheap non-arcade 360 games on xbox live), never played either of them, but one is by rockstar and the other is a god of war clone set in hell, what could go wrong?

That's funny. The only Games on Demand titles on I've bought is Bully And Dante's Inferno aswell.

But I have to say I didn't like them that much. I would probably have been totally in love with Bully if I bought it when it was released. But it just feels a bit too dated now. Dante's was really awesome in the beginning, but it just gets kind of boring after a while.

I found Bully was a bit of a boring game when it was released. It was ok for a while then just got a bit samey. Not as good as it could have been. It has been a good few years since I've played it though.

tbh it's pretty crap so far. the camera/character controlls are really weird and the framerate's a bit shit. and yeah, it does feel very dated. oh well, i've yet to try dante's inferno.

This exactly. I just dusted off my PS2 a couple of days ago. Broke out the Katamaris and Guitar Hero 2, but I haven't touched Bully yet.

been messing with the ghost recon online beta, it's fun so far.

Tried Silent Hunter III and V. I never heard of submarine simulators but I'm not exactly surprised they exist. The games are a lot of fun; but at times it does get a bit repetitive. Missions can last a good portion of your day if you want them to.

I tried Battlefield Heroes, it was pretty bad.
