LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Everything I Learned About Call of Duty: Ghosts Last Week
I wasn't allowed to talk about the new Infinity Ward game last week when I met with Activision, and I don't have much to say now that Xbox One spilled the beans.

What Are You Playing? September 8th, 2012

Posted on Saturday, September 8 @ 10:30:00 Eastern by

I'm out of town this weekend... well at least today. I'll be back home tomorrow and diving back in to Tyria. This must have been what it was like for Nick and Anthony last year with Skyrim. Guild Wars 2 has certainly sunk its teeth into me and a bunch of other Revolutionaries in the guild.

Aside from that I'm wrapping up reviews for LittleBigPlanet PS Vita (Embargo lifts on the 12th) and trying to get my head wrapped around the games that are coming out later this month and next month. But what I really want to know is....

What are you playing?

    Torchlight, the clicking is quite addictive.

    Will you be picking up Torchlight 2? I have the original on Xbox 360, but haven't played more than an hour of it.

    As a guy who never played Diablo I'm enjoying every minute of it, the first hours were a bit plain though.

    I think I'll eventually play Torchlight 2, but I like to wait between RPG games so I don't get tired of the genre.

    Still working my way through Darksiders II. I'm loving the customizability of the Possessed Weapons. Right now I've got increased crit rate, crit damage, piercing damage, and most importantly, absorb health on crit on my both my Scythes and Claws. Between that having absorb health added to my Teleport Slash, it takes a hell of a lot to kill me.

    I'd like to see this level of customization added to more action games. I love being able to play the game the way I want to, instead of they way the devs want me to.

    I wish the possessed weapons scaled as you leveled up. I maxed one set of scythes out only to abandon them when a vanilla pair outclassed my possessed weapons.

    I'm replaying Darksiders 2, Vigil made good on its promise to fix the PC version (The one I've got.). They enabled a couple of options, and on maximum settings, the game is gorgeous beyond words.

    I wish I could have played it on PC because the PS3 version can look pretty grainy at times.

    I know what you mean. It's so deviously simple and fun. I've fallen for the tiny little Lightning (but that doesn't mean I'm buying anything past FFXIII for her.)

    They made the right choices for songs as well, but I don't understand why XIV isn't on there. I mean people hated the game, sure, but Nobuo Uematsu composed the soundtrack and from what I've heard it's very good.

    finally bought, and played through, Harley Quinn's Revenge. Not the greatest, but at least I got to keep playing Batman. And I enjoyed playing as Robin. I've been thinking about getting Spec Ops or Sleeping Dogs, but can't justify paying $60 for either one, especially since I've averaging 80 hours a week at work this month. At least I have a light schedule when ACIII comes out...

    As much as I love Arkham City, I have had absolutely no motivation to go back and play that DLC. And while I won't have a light schedule for ACIII, I'll find time for it no matter what.

    I am trying to beat Darksiders II before Borderlands 2 comes out. Also replaying Persona 3 Portable.

    also waiting for One Piece Pirate Warriors and Tokyo Jungle to come out later this month, finally got a PS3, and am waiting for those since all i have is MW3, Spyro 2, and Crash Team Racing on it right now.....and i guess Playstation Home.

    Uncharted 2 is the best in that series. I would also recommend Heavy Rain (which is pretty cheap).

    Gotham City Impostors F2P, Trine, and I might play some of that Just Cause 2 MP beta. Might, not entirely sure how I feel about jumping into an unofficial MP version of a game I haven't completed entirely.

    *looks at backlog*

    Yeah... that's not the only one. Need to get to Bastion, Bioshock, finishing of Deus Ex: HR... I swear these Steam sales are making me lose my attention span in some fashion.

    How did you find Trine? From what I saw it looked promising, and the graphics are beautiful.

    Darksiders 2, time permitting. And ignore my other two above posts. I was trying to tell Daniel I thumbs upped draftling's comment, but it kept telling me to correct something and when i did it posted it as a message not a reply. Grrrrrrrrr.
