What Are You Playing? December 22nd, 2012

Trouble in Terrorist Town
ACB and ACR multiplayer
Batman AC

And...
The Hidden
Anno 2070 + all dlc
Borderlands 2 Mechromancer
HL2 and the 2 eps
Universe Sandbox
Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai + all clan dlc for all 3 expansions

I just bought Universe Sandbox on Steam myself.

Dragon Age Origins - Ultimate Edition. Now that I finally have it downloaded

Not playing Civ? Wow! The world might be coming to an end after all.

Oh, sorry.... and Civ IV and V as always.

Thinking about getting Civ 5 and all the expansions, would you say someone who hasnt played since Civ 3 would enjoy them sir?

Well, once the Civ gets under you skin it's there to stay. If you liked Civ 3 get Civ 5 on sale without all the expansions, if you like it get the expansions. But if your itching to take over the world go for it get it all at once. (You also can get Civ 4 complete.)

Just finished FC3. Was a good game. Started off great but kind of tailed off throughout. I'll be playing a bit of LoL and DOTA 2 through the week and some 3ds when I go home for Christmas.

Sleeping Dogs, Endless Space.

Skyrim and BF3

I WOULD be playing Halo 4 online but my account has been suspended because of a **** up on microsoft's end. I swear, if it weren't for Halo, i'd have microwaved my xbox by now. Since I can't play online, I've been playing through Combat Evolved Anniversary, and I played through the Halo 3 campaign again for funsies.

I bought alot of Steam games, with the Winter Sale going on. Playing on a laptop though, so i am limited to older games or less demanding games. Got alot to play though.

Have you ever checked out Good Old Game (GOG)? They have a ton of older games like Dungeon Keeper 2, Fallout 1&2, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and tons of others. I love it because it's like finding my childhood on sale.

Holiday Party Preparation Simulator.

It's awful.

But it was a big hit in Germany.

Maybe I'll sneak in some BlOps II, or whatever else my little brother gets. I'll be travelling and haven't picked up a Vita yet, much to my chagrin. Maybe I'll pick up a new mobile game.

Shadow of the Colossus (PS2): I’m up to Colossus #12 (for lack of time not of skill mind you :P). 12 and 13 are two of my favorites, 12 for the environment, 13 for how cool everything looks from way up in the air, so I want to take my time with them.
Illusion of Gaia (SNES): I played this game for the first time back in 2000, however I got stuck and never completed it. I just didn’t know how to get past a certain section. Fast-forward 7 years and finally I was able to determine what I was missing.
It took me another 5 years but I finally got around to playing it again. I’ve restarted it and I’m having a great time. The game does show its age, especially in the graphics department but it is still very enjoyable. I had forgotten about some of the play mechanics and frankly more RPGs should have done some of the stuff that this game does.
If you have never played it give it a go. I would say it’s more of an RPG “lite” with a very simple story but fun game mechanics. Finishing this game will certainly give me a sense of accomplishment seeing how long it has taken me. Nothing beats a great RPG.

Shadow of the Colossus is a fantastic game. I really need to dust off my PS2 and dig out my copy and give it a play sometime.

Guardians of Middle Earth and Lol.

The Real Texas, I picked it up from GOG last week on sale. It's really surprised me with how deep and rich the game is. It's a great experience and it's still on sale. Its a steal at ten dollars, and at $7.49 i'd say look into it. I'm also playing Dust 514 and keeping my eyes on the Steam sale as well.

Black Ops II (PS3)

Jade Empire on PC. Played the xbox version once long ago, and didn't remember a whole lot about it. Controls and combat are even worse than I remember. Surprisingly my xbox 360 controller is more awkward than using keyboard/mouse combo.

Also doing my yearly Resident Evil play sessions. So far, beat RE1 Jill on Original, and Chris on Arrange, and beat RE2 Claire A, Leon B. Working on Code Veronica now, and I'm skipping 3 and 5 because they are kinda crap. Don't own 6, not sure I ever will. Might do Silent Hill games after RE4.

Installed Crusader Kings 2 and it's amazing. Also needed to stop as it's deep and time consuming, and could easily eat 10 consecutive days if I let it. Civ5 today, and sneaking some Planetside 2 in when I can.

I keep avoiding Mass Effect 3 even though I am a huge fan of the first 2 games... Pre-ordered them, midnight release, all that good stuff. I just can't seem to work up the desire for 3 though, I just keep hearing its awful and it turns me off... of course, I realize this is a stupid thing to do considering that I adore Rage, Darksiders 2 and Dead Island, which get dumped on all the time, or maybe I just have a terrible sense of what's good.

It's not awful at all, and if you liked the first 2, you will definitely like 3.

Aralon Sword and Shadow. Also thiking about downloading Ravensword Shadowlands since I'm traveling tis week and won't have pc/consoles.

Crash Team Racing

Oh yeah and Hawken Beta for all you PC players out there.

I'm playing Shadow of Chernobyl with the LURK mod and holy ****. It's honestly the feeling you get when they straight up remake a game you used to love and every aspect of it ends up better than it was. The graphics are actually good, the gun stats make more sense, there a ton more weapons and weapon mods, weird broken **** was fixed, there are a ton of new environmental effects. I'm basically rambling but holy gosh there is so much more improvement than I was expecting.

Oh and there's a ****ing Mosin Nagant so playing as a sniper is actually viable now that there's a rifle that doesn't weigh 1500 pounds.

Buying a vita and it comes with gravity rush for 140 off kijiji

Rage, again, and its new DLC.

Game still kicks ass, even more now with the new difficulty level. Holy **** can it be hard.

Borderlands (PS3)
Prototype 2 (360)
Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation, now that I finished AC3 on the 360.

WoW.

Bought Darksiders franchise on steam, will be playing that too.

Hope you enjoy it, Darksiders (in particular Darksiders 2) is awesome.

Dota 2. Only game I will ever need . Also whatever is on sale on steam

Too afraid of the community to play DOTA. I haven't worked up the courage yet.

Play against bots to learn the way of the game... bots still whoop my ass but luckily my teams bots can help us win.

I wouldn't be. Not like they will come to your house and yell at your
Dota is 95% rage.

Really It's fun and the event is going on right now so free items always makes me happy.

Theyre also lowering prices on old characters.

At the moment? Whatever point and click game demos I can find online. The disc drive on my 360 quit working and it won't open. I suspect this may be related to the fact that my system has been having difficulty reading any discs I've put in it over the past two weeks as well. It's an older system though, so it's definitely seen its share of wear and use (if I recall correctly, this was one of the systems that rolled off the line for the first batch of releases back in '05, so I'm amazed it's lasted this long). A friend of mine thinks he MIGHT be able to fix it, but if not I gotta shell out the cash for a new one. Sadface.

Used to fix disk drive fairly easu

Skyrim and playing getting drunk now that finals are done

That first beer after finishing finals is the one of the best feelings ever. After sox, you just stop giving a **** about whether or not you did well, too.

Two of my favorite games.

Just beat Mass Effect 2, thinking about playing through again but this time as an *******

Aside from all those Steam games i got earlier, i also got Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines from Gamestops website for 5 bucks. Its a pretty cool game though, if The Elder Scrolls took some things from this game it would be epic. Mainly vampire clans.

Thumbs up for people still playing Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Amazing game with one of the best horror levels ever.

Bloodlines is really awesome, you should find the mod that adds a bunch of stuff, like new clans, and powers. It -really- enhances the game.

Halo 4. Multiplayer is perfection (except jet packs, **** them)

Just finished my first Professor Layton game, Unwound Future.

Starting up several games Rayman Origins, Mass Effect and MGS: Peacewalker.

Just finished Walking Dead and gonna replay that making opposite choices to see what happens. Also Gravity Rush since I got that free on Plus. Also want replay GTA: The Lost and the Damned because I've started Sons of Anarchy and now all I want to do is ride a chopper and shoot everything.

Fez for fun and You Don't know Jack. And Dishonored. Plus I have a bunch of games I have bought but yet to play. Probably pick up something during the Boxing Week sales.

Max Payne 3 & BF3

Me: wow, I got a wii u with nintendoland, assassins creed 3 and super mario bros for Christmas! What should I do first?! I know, I'll download a slow, optional update!

*****ing genius

Steam sales, plus my first year of using their gift cards... dear lord the games Ive purchased. I need to win the lottery so I can retire and devote more time to playing them all.
