ok should update that all the games I WAS playing are on hold.... just got sucked back into Mount and Blade: Warband. O god I hate deserters....... they just refuse to leave me alone, had a group of them chase me for 4 ingame days before some random lord saved my arse, so I pledged my allegiance to him (go Nords!)

Playing Bioshock 1 atm, I want to play one and two before I get Infinite, because, well, I like the idea of an underwater city to a floating one.

Warframe
Neverwinter
World of Tanks
Mechwarrior Online

World of Tanks
Neverwinter
Eador: master of the broken world
EvE

Don't starve. The game simply does not like me.

Going to give in to the nostalgia and get Wing Commander from GOG tonight.

That's because "Star Trek" is driving me crazy. No instruction manual, and the on-screen tips seem to be there for a split second, so I'm actually playing the game on instinct. It took me 2 tries at the intro mission to get the fact that "Stun" is another mouse button, not a permanent setting, and it took me about 10 tries and a video walkthrough to get the "Press 'E' to use shields" bit of the space battle. (The guy on the video didn't notice it either, I was only able to read it on pausing the video.)

Morrowind

Oooh it's fun

Playing Fallout: New Vegas, like it so far. playing it on the PS3 and havent ran into any bugs just yet *knock on wood* wondering if buying the DLC is worth it. Suggestions?

I keep hearing really good things about that...Is it just a typical third person shooter?

OT - I started Red Dead Redemption...again. I never get tired of that game!

Dragon's Dogma. I am still not sure about it, it's either nearly my personal perfect game or incredibly ambitious but hugely flawed. There are so many bizarre and outwardly impenetrable systems in this game but the depth they seem to promise is really intriguing. I've gotta say though this game doesn't really tell you anything.

The combat is good, though the lack of any levels on enemies is a bit annoying as you often run into things you can barely scratch before getting one-shotted. Alot of the skills avoid the typical Action rpg tropes which is nice and they dont fill the screen with ridiculous Particle effects which is something i've always hated about ARPGs like diablo etc. It's actually a pretty difficult game but it's always quite fair, unlike the Witcher 2 which had horrid fiddly combat and cheap enemies.

The story/setting is a bit 'vague', for want of a better word, and what is explained is a bit goofy. The world is just beautiful and most importantly for me, believable. This is one of those games that prove you don't need amazing graphics, as long as everything looks like it should/would be there it will work. The main city in the game is actually a believable size for a medieval town and It is never even said that 'Gransis' is anything more than a province, indeed it is ruled by a 'Duke'

The problems i have with this game is the incredibly miserly loot and the bizarre fast travel system which doesn't really work. I dont have a problem with the overly-chatty AI as they have just enough different quips to not grate too much. The fact the pawns are described as emotionless is kinda a bummer as well, i liked the idea of having a strong camaraderie with my squad. Oh and finally i accidentally made my character look JUST like Mac from It's Always Sunny.

BF3. I really wish I had enough memory left on my Xbox to download all the DLCs besides Armoured Kill.

I think that game just hates everyone.

Oh yeah. Personally I think it's better than Oblivion or Skyrim. If they released a 'remastered' version with an actual physics engine and updated graphics, it'd probably sell out- on Steam.

AoE2 HD. Nostalgia and that is probably what began my love of castles and all things of a bygone age.

Yo dawg, you already have them (in memory terms), you wouldn't be able to play online if you didn't. You just haven't purchased the keys (which are ~50kb each ). If you buy premium right now you will be playing the new maps within the hour.

There seems to be quite a bit more to do than either of those games, from a first impression. I thought Oblivion was better than Skyrim (and closing a gate to Oblivion is probably one of the most fun things I've done in a game) so Morrowind certainly looks extremely promising.

Really? Huh, didn't know that. Thanks.

Im playing dawn of war 1. i just play skirmish games over and over again. I never get bored for some reason

You better look it up just to be safe All i know is battlefield 3 has huge compulsory updates and when you buy DLC the download is only ~50kb.

Currently stardrive, dawn of war soul storm with ultimate apocalypse mod and a wee game called Leviathan Warships

Not really. I played a couple but wasn't too impressed. Get them if you're absolutely loving New Vegas I guess.

Maybe it's just because I'm an unashamed New Vegas fanboy, but I loved all the DLCs. Old World Blues in particular.

It's not entirely typical, there's quite a bit of emphasis on melee combat, special skills based on the warframe(suit) you use. A collectible card system to getting new abilities and mods and a ton of weapons. Levels all have randomized lay outs based on modular portions. That kind of stuff.

For example, I'm using the MAG warframe, which has (like you can imagine) magnetism powers. I can make someone a literal bullet magnet, pull people towards me to deliver a nice charged melee attack, magnetise someones bones and outright crush him... that kind of fun stuff. The gore in the game makes the combat quite satisfying too. Doing a charged melee attack with a blade and watching a Terran Marines torso fly in a different direction then his legs is quite cathartic.

Ohhhh, that sounds pretty cool. I'll have to look more into it now!

Agreed this game is still brilliant. Although I do find the expansion a lot more enjoyably, mainly due to Vikings and Huns

Morrowind 3.0 gives you the modern graphics at least, although I don't know about the physics engine.

Vampire the Masquerade. Enjoying it so far

XCOM and considering picking up Baldurs Gate 2 Shadow Of Amn again.

Does League of Legends count or will I be asked to leave?

Leave all your wordly belongings by the door and never return heretic!

Having a lot of fun with Bridge Project right now. I've also played through Blood Dragon, which is stupid fun.
