Space Station 13, Wargame Airland Battle and Halo 4

Starting my Roman campaign in Rome II.

Rome 2, trying to keep my Spartard allies alive (playing as Rome)

Oh how could I have forgotten Kerbal Space Program. I have a few unmanned satalights in orbit however I have not gotten any farther than that. The game is both realistic and addictive something that many simulation games don't have.

its alot of fun I recommend it to all.

Switching off between Gears of War 3 and Pokemon White. So far, Gears 3 is way better than Gears 2, and White is still a decent challenge with tons of grinding...getting me pumped for the release of X and Y next month.

Skyrim. Again!

Must be about my 8th playthrough, and I'm still keeping my character working so hard, she's over level 30 before I find the Greybeards. (Harbinger of the Companions, arch-mage, and working up through the thieves guild though. Think this time I'm going to take down the assassins rather than ignore them or join them.)

Rome II - Macedon will rise again! I have a foothold in Anatolia, and I am considering betraying my Spartan allies so I can take the rest of Greece. They can keep southern Italy.

Was playing the first darksiders of all things. There's a few poor design choices that I had forgotten about. That game just wants you to hit x all the time I have to force myself to use other moves in order to not get seriously fatigued. Why they couldn't have kratos' x,x,y style combos is beyond me. Yes it still means you're doing the same move but it at least adds a thin veneer of strategy.

Also mapping dodge to the same button as block is very foolish it makes blocking redundant which is a shame as the block/counter system is well implemented and satisfying.

Holding the trigger to lock on also gets old fast. The lock on also letter boxes the camera and pulls it in too tight ruining your awareness.

All in all though it's still a strong game, with a decent level of challenge.

Starting Rome II with Greece. I honestly don't like several UI changes, but I'm certain it's because I'm not used to them yet. After so many Total Wars with the same overall UI (skipped the Empire:Total War one, I have no idea what it looks like, I just hate the time period) I'm still baffled.

AND WHAT WAS THE BIG IDEA OF REMOVING THE VIDEOS?! I freakin' loved the Assassination videos

Diablo 3 is a good laugh, especially in the multiplayer modes. Was briefly playing with all four of the family earlier, although its sadly a bit much to let the boys play too far into the game.

Of course its great to have another console game Aura and I can play together.

I kinda had fun with d3... it just didn't last long. I think it was about as much me as the game.

Barely played it on the PC, but love it on my forty inch TV. Shows how nice the graphics are.

I just played the elder scrolls online beta for a stress test. I think I played for 5 minutes. There's an NDA and all of that, but...

I'm preeeety sure I'm hooked. It felt a lot closer to skyrim than it did to wow/etc. The skills were different, and the targeting seemed a bit more akin to typical mmos, but for those brief moments, it really seemed like something in between. Hopefully I'll get to try some more beta before its done, but I could see subscribing to a game like that, if it works.

Gave up on Rome 2. For me the game is a disapointing train wreck that I can only hope the modders out there are able to fix.

I'm going to continue focusing on Ar Tonelico and Sleeping Dogs. Actual enjoyable, playable games.

Man, do I feel bitter with Rome 2...

Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir. I'm on a bit of a D&D kick at the moment, and this is apparently the most recent game. As I'm homebound with a broken ankle for a month or so, plenty of time to play it.

And by "play it" I mean get a party to level 6 or so, realize I have a better idea for a different party, and restart. Repeat ad nauseum.

@Seaward If only I could even get parties to level six! I don't think I played that one much, but I have that problem any time I play D&D based games. Or well anything, but D&D especially.

Beat Dishonored. Good game but it's hard to get through it not killing. I might do another carnage filled play through.

I remember playing those two levels where you fight the assassins and killing everyone (barring their leader). For some reason at the end I had a low chaos level. ...Guess assassins don't count as people, but despots do. =P

I know I'm going to get the "bad" ending but man I'm having so much more fun!

Am currently in the grip of yet another Football Manager 2013 fever... 61 hours so far and counting...

Started playing 'Sleeping Dogs' but i'm having trouble getting my head around the h-t-h system? It's confusing at best and downright broken at worst Still, the story seems quite good, and the chance to make stupid Bruce Lee noises should never be passed up.

Was going to type more, this says it better: more fun is better, you can always watch the other one on youtube if its buggin ya

I already got the good ending. Now maybe I'll actually enjoy the game.

Playing a few things, really just working through my steam library trying to complete most of my games. Yea ill be there a while, im even replaying some i know iv completed like Batman Arkham Asylum/City.

Just completed Assassins Creed, now onto the 2nd one.

Need to figure out what games cant be "completed" and are just sandboxes, might take a while lol.

Playing League of Legends now and then, still not that comfortable playing coz i still suck lol.

Still grinding through Pokemon White...still enjoying it.

Also, still playing through Gears 3...Uh, definitely wasn't expecting to be killing crazed zombie people. Also,

Overall, enjoying the third waaaaay more than the second.

Now you need to play Judgement.
I actually highly recommend Gears: Judgement's single player. It was fun and the "Declassified" missions made for a highly enjoyable game. Add to it the fact that it has two campaigns(one takes place in the middle of Gears 3 with Clayton, Baird, and Cole as the playable characters along with one of the guys introduced in Judgement).

Playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn... 12 hours of gameplay later and I'm only level 18... I think I should stop playing... or keep playing idk which.

It's a fun game, and "cheaper" than other pay to play MMOs since you only ever need 1 character because jobs/classes are fluid.

My friend that let me borrow the third was actually just telling me about Judgement yesterday. I'll probably pick it up if it's on level with the third. He certainly had nothing but praises for it...

...plus, I'd like a new game for some online co-op.

I've placed an order for Dawn of war Dark Crusade. it's for sale on Amazon.

Until it arrives I'll be working my way through the old Age of Empires II Conquerors campaign, Attila the Hun

I've just discovered Payday 2.

It's a great game, but only when in a party... the AI is trash
