Been playing Guild Wars 2 now and then. Dipped into Game Dev tycoon swearing blind I would never make an FPS game in it... it ended up as my best seller with a rating of 10,10,10,9. Yea not to good XD Enjoying it though.

Been trying to finish LA Noire up, great game but does get a little repetitive after a while. I rather love the interactive movie feel of it, though. But the controls kinda suck on PC, the game feels very stiff, with sluggish controls. All-in-all, quite a great game especially since I got it for 5 bucks during the Steam holiday sale! Really enjoying this one.
Enjoying the odd game of ME3 Multiplayer still, just love it. Doing some Gold level games now and they're very challenging and fun, requiring a good deal of discipline to succeed at, and very rewarding. Quite a good multiplayer experience here overall.
Playing some Warframe, but I'm very frustrated with how downright STINGY this game is with new guns and weapons. It's an absolutely merciless grind to get even one new gun! The gameplay mechanics and action are quite solid and fun, but they need to be less stingy with letting you get some better guns. It's Beta, so yeah.
Installed Saint's Row 2 after hearing very good things about it on this forum, but haven't gotten very far at all yet.
Also installed Deus Ex Human Revolution, and while it looked good I got very frustrated with the cover mechanics. I really want to like this game, however, as I LOVED the previous Deus Ex games, so I just need to play more. I barely even finished the intro mission.
Also been playing a lot of Injustice on my iPhone, during downtime at work. Quite an enjoyable game if you want to waste a few minutes while the boss isn't looking!
Just now installed Neverwinter beta and going to give it a look-see.
A friend of mine talked me into downloading DUST 514 since he's huge into EVE. It's alright; nothing too special. Tons of stuff to upgrade and level up for being a free-to-play game.

As an EVE player I was interested in this, but I'm out of the loop these days. I thought it was PS3 only, but did they have a PC release? Would be interested in it if it was on PC...

It's still PS3 only if I remember correctly. But, I've joined his corporation, and we had chat and he can assist me in-game (by providing air strikes). I'll be playing more today to get a better feel for it.
Just finished Tomb Raider. Absolutely loved it. Lara's character and story is just epic, although why she doesn't loot a coat off a bad guy is beyond me.It must be cold in the snow!
Because she can't bring herself to wear something from a (Dead) smelly, unwashed bloke?

Just about to step outside and play weed whacking Once the lawn is done and the rest of the house is in order I'll probably try and finish up Dragon Age Origins. A playthrough and a reload and playthrough with my good Elf mage for the last of the story achievements, then just a quick trot through the last of the opening prologues.
Just blasted through(the remaining part of) Black Ops 2 the last couple of days. I need to replay it fully to understand what the hell just happened.
I must admit that I was very surprised by the choices you can make within the game, they actually impact the last couple of missions and the ending. This in a CoD game just blew my mind, some RPGs can't do this well yet an FPS which is considered a cash out has added something different to the rest of the series. Can't wait to see how Treyarch pushes out new ideas with the next CoD game.

I never bought GTA4 and the last similar game I played was RDR, so I am enjoying it rather more than I thought I would. Not upset I did not buy it, but definitely worth the current price!
Just Cause 2 makes more sense though.

As I have recenlty changed my PC and got a massive boost in capability, I've just finished re-installing all my old games and installing a couple of classics, so I am getting round to play the original Supreme Commander, Forged Alliance, and forged Alliance Forever, plus the full series of Wing Commander I to IV.
Am also thinking of getting the new XCOM as I have finshed the new Star Trek game before watching the new film which I hope to do this weekend.

Playing Red Orchestra 2, got back into it again after a long absence, nothing like a good bit of carnage on the Eastern-front every now and then.
Can't wait for Rising Storm, don't see many Pacific War FPS around much, Modern warfare this and that these days, makes me wonder when WW2 games are going to become popular again...Ah well until that day comes I have RO2.

"You have enemies? Good! That means you stood up for something at some point in your life."
I buckled and started trying out Dragons Prophet. Its brings nothing really new to the table as far as I can tell. It does feel very WoW-ish, but the action based combat will most likely have me playing it for a while(well I bloody hope so, I dropped £70 on it).

Witcher 2's combat is abominable, i would recommend sticking it on Easy and just enjoying the fantastic story. The total lack of feedback on your block, the weird floating dodge that doesn't give you immunity and the fact Geralt has the turning speed of an Oil tanker but his enemies whip around at lightspeed if you manage to start backstabbing them. Those are just flaws with the mechanics, i haven't even touched on how Unresponsive the controls are and i was playing on 360 controller, which is actually the recommended setup! .
The Map system/Quest signposting and Inventory is also really badly done, it reminded me of the, absolutely awful, game Risen in that regard. CD projekt developer: 'You know what's are a reallly good idea! Making all three of our hub towns linear mazes instead of open spaces, herpy derp'. I think Witcher 2 is a DEEPLY flawed game. The only thing that makes the combat bearable is liberal use of spells.
On-Topic, still Dragon's Dogma, starting to really enjoy it. If you can forgive a game for a shaky five or so hours at the start, no fast travel early on (fast travel requires the use of tokens and markers, you'll have very few for the opening 12 or so hours), a pretty vague and opaque setting/story (not quite in the cool dark souls way unfortunately) and the inability to give specific instructions to your team (their AI is about the best i've ever seen though, to be fair). You will love this game, plus it's only £20 (RRP ) brand new with a second post game mega-dungeon and a couple improvements.

Dragons Dogma has been one of the better games I'v played from Capcom in a while. Granted its nothing spectacular but I payed £40 for it and felt like I got my moneys worth. There are a few bug bears with the game but its still a very good game that I recommend, even more so with it being £20 now.
As for the game I'm playing atm. Its a real mix of different games. I'm just jumping from one to the other. I should probably settle on one and play it for a bit.

I picked up a Wii for $50 a while back, and I just borrowed my brother's copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl. Just grinding through, trying to unlock all the characters. Plenty of fun, but I think I enjoyed Smash Bros Melee more.
Touted as "Skyrim with Guns" I can definately say that that's the way the game is for me. In that although I'm impressed by the technical feat this game is, its beautiful enviroments and how hard it must have been to create....I'm just not really having that much fun.
Just finished up Silent Hill 2 for the millionth time and am now playing through Silent Hill 3 again. Just bought Silent Hill 4: The Room off eBay last night as well, so I'll play that after I beat SH3. Silent Hill has always been my favorite gaming series. It's always nice to go back and play through them.
