Finished AC Revelations. Not much in the way of actual revelations though.

"The Kaiser's Battle" and "Invasion!" DLC for Toy Soldiers.

FIFA 13 ( god help my FIFA addiction)

Will get into playing assassins creed 3 and Lego The Lord of the rings when I can be bothered to go pick them up

Also a lot of rubbish online flash games... You can tell who's been bored xD

Just started my latest Football Manager 2013 addiction... Have warned the wife and got in a large pallet of 'Bombay Bad Boy' pot noodles. Yah, i'm set for the next 2 months or so!

Also 'Frontline Tactics' and 'Borderlands'. Still.

Black and White 2, being evil is real fun

Red Alert 2, Soviet campaign...destroying the West has never been better

Are those good? I picked up the core of Toy Soldiers awhile back, and loved the concept, but hesitated at the DLC.

I got them on sale for $2 each (plus the Cold War ones). Kaiser's Battle is just more standard Toy Soldiers fun but harder than the original campaign. I don't know if it's because you're playing as the French or something but your soldiers seem a lot more incompetent than before. They barely bother to shoot and seem to outright miss a lot.

Invasion! is definately worth a try. It's fun to take on extra-toyboxellar foes like Aliens, Knights and Fire Trucks but also quite hard. Final boss is a giant robot with death rays that's really pissing me off right now. Stupid giant robot....

For the PC, Star Wars: The Old Republic... and not just because it became free 2 play... in fact, I still have a subscription.

For the Xbox360, I just finished Halo: Reach and am looking to start Halo 4.

I played about four hours of Black Ops 2 (both campaign and online) and found it to be just as bad as I thought it would be. So glad I didn't buy it.

Now, back to Skyrim

I'm also playing Black Ops 2 but finding it kind of enjoyable both SP and MP, which is odd as I thought it would be crap.

I didn't like the plot of the single player, and the multi-player seemed just more of the same. I played the gak out of MW, WaW, MW2, and BO...but now it's just more of the same, and if anything, just more fast-paced. Most of the changes just seemed really superficial.

Ill agree that the MP is more of the same, but I skipped MW3 since is was god awful compared to Black Ops so the break has actually helped me enjoy COD again I think. As for SP I havn't played much of it but I did enjoy the Strike Op mission, it helped break up the run and gun formula I'm used to in a COD game. Tbh I wasnt even planning on buying BO2 but I seen it paired with WAW for £55 and jumped on it....Still no idea why since what I remember of WAW it wasnt that good. I dunno, maybe its just another game to add to the collection so I have something to play when I can't connect to the internet.

SWTOR.

I got to say, I am disappointed with how bland the darksides writing is. I like the Republics stories so far but that might be because I am playing a Smuggler. My alt is a Sith Inquisitor and I have just been bored to tears with how underwhelming they are.

Both of my toons are at least lvl12 but I really don't know how much more I want to stick with it.

On to the Cold War portion of Toy Soldiers: "Evil Empire" and "Napalm".

Rage: it's like if Bioshock and Borderland had a baby.

Well let's see, at the moment i'm playing the Mega man x collection on game cube along with Civilization 4 on pc. And i'm about to go back to Battle for middle earth 2 along with Command&Conquer 3 since the last game in that series disappointed me deeply and i'm trying to forget that it was ever made lol.

Still playing Starfox and Super Smash Bros. because that's how I roll.

Ugh. Hated Rage. I sold it back the same afternoon I got it. Weird thing was, due to a BOGO and extra trade in value overlapping at FYE, I got MORE back for it than I paid (paid twenty-five, got back forty). I used the return cash to buy LOTR: War in the North, which was another AMAZING game from Snowblind Studios. Champions of Norrath and Justice League Heroes are also excellent games by them.

Anyway, I'm playing the crap out of Borderlands 2. So much better than the first one. The commando has a personality (Roland did not), the Siren has a more badass ability than Lilith did, but I'd rather have Mordecai than the Assassin. Both Brick and Salvador are for me.

Oblivion! It's sick!

Lego Lord of the Rings...

It's AWESOME

Currently enjoying CoD, though just had my Skyrim returned to me so may be breaking that out again soon

I'm only a few hours in but I like it so far.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Finished up the last episode of The Walking Dead. That was a hell of game, very emotional.

On to some ME3 DLC: Omega.

Planetside 2, first time my comp couldnt handle a fight. Time for a new one!

Farcry 3 is epic so far. It really impressed me with what they did.

Is it as open world as they claim?

Its pretty open imo.

It really does seem like Oblivion and Just cause had a child.

The driving is really good, better then most current racers.
The shooting is also well done. Not a giant selection of guns but enough.
The fire effects are great.
The graphics are also super good. I dont have a super rig either.
I have a quad core @2.6 with 4gb of ram and a 560 ti gfx card so not the best pc but not the worst, and im running it on DX11 with most things set to high or super high, and I'm getting over 30 fps and in my opinion totally playable.

The only negative thing I can say about it is I have a feeling it might be on the short side, but I have not beat it yet as I have been doing lots of side missions.

This week I have mostly been playing

Knights of the Old Republic

with a view to finishing that and heading straight into KOTOR2 and the "Sith Lords Restored Content Mod" to finally find out what the ending of the second game should have been!

Ahhhh, I'm holding off on putchasing that....I think my girlfriend is "surprising" me with it for Christmas


As for me, I picked up Halo 4 over the weekend. I'm really enjoying it thus far...but it's a huge change of pace from what I'm used to. I haven't played a Halo game since Halo 2, and the only FPS I've been playing recenrly is BF3 on PS3. It's been good, though!

Just started playing Jonah Lomu's Rugby Challenge... sad that it's the only current system rugby game out there :( I still think its a great game, but wish I had options on my playstation as well, instead of only my pc.
