What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Alternating between UFO: Enemy Unknown and the first F.E.A.R. game right now. Never played the latter until last week, but I think I'm close to the end now. The special Slow-Mo ability is pretty cool, and definitely comes in handy during firefights.

Just finished Rage. Terrible ending.

I was saving BFG rounds the entire last level (had like 60 rounds) for what I could imagine was going to be a big ugly monster, but no. No boss fight, no resolution, no ending. You just click on green panels, things happen and the game ends. Amazing title until the last 30 minutes. What were they thinking? And please play it on the higher difficulties. I played on normal and made a mistake. Cakewalk.

I'm playing WoW again. I have a ilvl 521 Undead Rogue and just got an Orc Warrior to 90 and am at ilvl 471. Lots of fun to be had. Screw the WoW haters, I'm having fun.

Yeah the ending of RAGE was a huge letdown. Seems like Id Software broke with their tradition of concluding their games with an epic boss fight on this one.

It does imply the possibility of a sequel tho.

I don't think the sequel will happen. The game was quickly silenced by the press and Bethesda. Or maybe they can tie the narrative with Doom 4!

The only thing I enjoyed in Rage was the visuals.

Sepaking of id, Quakecon starts today. Too bad they'll never show Doom 4.

Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational (on PS3). Love me some HSG action.

REAAAAAAAALLY tempted to buy a wii u just to play pikmin 3 : /

This came out today. Most IDM game of 2013 so far?

Well, hopefully there'd be more reason (like Wind Waker HD) than just Pikmin 3 to buy a flailing console...

Metal Gear Solid 4 might be 2 japanese 4 me

:diarrhea joke:

I really enjoyed FEAR. Good balance of creepy and action, and the slow-mo was really fun. Especially with a shotgun.

There's no such thing as too japanese.

Oh ya that too, and wonderful 101, and whatever metroid games are in the pipe

Started replaying Demon's Souls for the 6th time. I still think it's WAY better then Dark Souls, and Dark Souls was a fantastic game.

Enemy and level design is way beyond Dark Souls, and the graphics are just better. Dark Souls felt more experimental and free, while Demon's Souls has this attention to detail and overall quality control that makes it a masterpiece. One of the best.

And the online still works much better.

I'm totally sold on Dungeons of Dredmor. I recently saw it added to some indie bundle I bought some time ago and gave it a try. As of now, I've bought the two expansions.

It's the best rougelike I've seen so far - like a pretty looking nethack that is really tough, but not unforgiving to the point that it seems to enjoy pissing all over your food poisoned corpse. It's also very funny.

Ten years after the last game, Pikmin 3 is out today!

been playing the remake of Rise Of The Triad

multiplayer is fun! single player is annoyingly moreish

Yeah I see that the new RotT is out now. I have reservations about buying it tho, since I have a slightly dated computer. I remember playing the original 1994 RotT as well. Seems like the new one is more so developed based on multiplayer thinking than on single player.

I completed F.E.A.R. yesterday for the first time, and then started F.E.A.R. Extraction Point, which immediately follows it. Might give Perseus Mandate a go after I finish that one.

I also downloaded and installed the Black Mesa mod for HL2, but I think I'll try that one later on. I should start working on making tunes again though, haven't done so since May.

This Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons game looks very pretty:

Aye, I've been playing this too. I like the fruit collection thing, it brings back some of the pressure the first game had

Oh, and New Super Mario Bros U has excellent multiplayer

Does anyone have any release-date news on Fract OSC beyond just "hopefully it'll be released in 2013"? I've been excited to play this thing since I first saw data post about it ages ago... and until just now couldn't remember the name :P

Fract OSC looks pretty cool. I like that fat analogue Moog bass synth sound in the trailer.

I'm still curious about when Routine will get released. That game looks fuckin' dope.

Also, I saw a vid on YT yesterday regarding leaked info about Left 4 Dead 3 @ Valve HQ, and that it will be based on a new upcoming Source 2 engine. I still care more about the Half-Life series though.

I'm hopelessly addicted to minecraft, its probably having a negative impact on my life but what the hey.

Wind waker HD will be the cats pyjamas!
