I finally caved and ordered the Halo: Anniversary. Should be getting it next week.

Until that time, I'm switching off between Skyrim and Dead Space.

Bleach: Soul Ressurection. The controls in the game is so bad...

Planetside 2, now that the latest patch has allowed my GPU to start working right- finally getting around 15 FPS- was at, like, .5 before.

xcom with slingshot dlc, it is disappointing but I support the game. May go back to UFO defense so I can recreate my xcom empire.

Still playing Dark souls.

Will probably try to run Guts challenge build with new character.

Played though Halo: Anniversary this weekend...so much nostalgia! Started Halo 2....wish they would release that in HD too!

FarCry 3 right now, its pretty good but tv is old and I cant read the small words so that sucks.

Probably going to get Saints Row the third soon

Just finished the campaign for the Shimatsu faction on Shogun 2. Epicness is the only word that can describe the last battle that was fougth outside Kyoto

Assassins Creed 3. Holy. Crap. Awesome.

AC3 is a pretty slow start but I'm getting into it more now. I'm surprised but naval battles have become my favorite part so far.

Picked up Fallout New Vegas game of the year edition. Was initially extremely shocked by how bad it was but i am getting into it now. The game plays alot better in the indoor sections imo, they are quite tense and brutal. The dialogue is well written and surprisingly convincing despite Oblivion's hideous graphics/animation.

I actually really hated Fallout 3, iirc i never played it again after dying for the first time about 2 hours in. It just seemed so bland despite the inherent zaniness of the fallout license, it was also missing the fantastic writing of the previous games. If i'm honest i don't even really like the whole Kitsch 50's Americana thing either which isn't that helpful.

Binding of Isaac, so damn addictive;
Portal 2, again, really addicting;
Black Ops and Skyrim, in short bursts.

I agree with the 50s theme. It was tolerable for FO1,2 and tactics because the graphics were ancient and the games were excellent(especially tactics). Part 3 was extremely grim looking and the wasteland got old quick in addition to bug central. That said I played the daylights out of 3 and the dlcs, I got/played NV but still need to get GOTY for the dlcs.

Mixture of World of Tanks, Planetside 2, World of Warcraft, got the new xcom for xmas, but not got around to firing it up yet.

All of these are distracting me too much from tabletop rpg, I'm supposed to be dm'ing a new campaign in 5 days

Beat Assassin's Creed 3. The plot just really falls apart in this one. The most evil person in it is George Washington so why am I helping him? Several changes were made to the play controls that just messed up everything too.

picked up Anno 2070 on steam. not bad, pretty fun but the games take days to complete. the tax income fluctuates so much its hard to pin down a strategy at the moment. Im on the second to last scenario mission and im -2k credits for upkeep. so I started a new single mission game to see if i can the hang of not dying to upkeep problems.

I have a bad habit of playing about 20 games at the same time.

At the moment:

FarCry 3
Hitman: Absolution
Skyrim
Mass Effect 3
Uncharted 2 (yes, I know I'm behind times here. Only just bought a PS3)
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS
Terraria
FTL
Binding of Isaac

and probably more that I've forgotten... I really need to start completing one game at a time.

I'm resumed my game of FFXIII just for the sake of finishing it, but I'm really struggling to find the motivation to get to the end despite being on the last disc.
For me it's the most badly misjudged game in the main series since the Playstation era, and I hope they make drastic alterations for the next standalone entry (XV?).

Almost done with Halo 3, and then onto ODST!

*Halo 4 made me have to replay the series

DotA 2
Path of Exile
Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition

And starting tomorrow, Dungeon Land.

Loving it! Can't put it down.

.....Damn Xenos!

Haha great minds think alike. Started Path of Exile last night and LOVE it. Brilliant game.

Dungeonland on the other hand was quiet the letdown. Cool game, cool idea, but an absolutely bug infested mess. Not going to touch it for like a month till they work out the networking issues.

SC2. Trying to get out of gold before Heart of the Swarm comes out.

I got a regular copy of New Vegas free when my wife got 2 other games. I'm playing it on the 360 and got the majority of the achievements on one playthrough, with a few save and loads for the various faction related achievements. I'm currently trying to do a speed run for the Hardcore achievement. It's a good game but the bugs in it don't do it any favours (random freezes, saves that won't laod, necessary NPCs going missing etc.). Right now the game hasn't persuaded me that the DLC is worthwhile.

Finally Finshed Halo 3, and now I'm moving onto Halo: ODST. I'm also almost finished with the first Dead Space (loving that!).

Saved the world in XCom. Think I'll start up a career in UFC and maybe mix it up with some Burnout Revenge. Some oldies but goodies.

Same. I had a good time with it, but found myself tapping the trigger to block/counter a few times. This is the first AC game where Ive gone with a heavy weapon (the axe) so that was fun.

On the new Need for Speed: Most Wanted now. Its pretty damn good so far. Just smashing cruisers with the SVT Raptor.

I find it so hard to just run down a street without just climbing up random crap. I think if you hold B it stops that but then how is that better than just not holding A like you used too? Bah!

Right now,Borderlands GOTY.I must get back into Fallout 3 and NV GOTY.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
