[Sassy1]

Besides Dark Sector, of course :p

[ATC 1982]

COD 4 & Lego Star Wars: TCS

[Jim]

I am currently playing Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero 3 and Warhawk.

[xFenixKnightx]

Xbox 360
Online MP on Dark Sector, COD4, Halo3, Gears, and GTAIV...soon ;)

PS3
Lego Starwars TCS
Tekken DR
Uncharted DF

[DE_PrickleyPete]

FirePro Wrestling Returns (PS2), Bioshock, COD4, and always...NHL.

I've recently discovered the addictive majesty that is Puzzle Quest as well.

[otakufreak907]

Enchanted Arms, Lost Odyssey, Persona 3 FES (In a few days), Dark Sector, Ace Combat 6, and way way more. For once, I actually wish I had LESS games to go through XD. I'm just trying to pace myself and do one at a time =P.

[Techercizer]

Im thinking of picking up The Orange Box, but atm I frequent Halo 3, Bioshock, and of course Oblivion.

[WlknCntrdiction]

i cant relli say that im not playing DS tbh lol
but apart from that im onli playing COD4, getting my prestiges up keeps the game interesting for me:)

[pdugan]

Alotta Rock Band, love The Police and NIN tracks. Before that it was Crackdown and Bioshock.

[deep umbra]

Beside DS, I 've been replaying the Hitman games a lot. Can't afford anything else new, but using the fiberwire never gets old. Or I'm just easily entertained. :)

[Sassy1]

Did anyone play that Professor Layton game on the DS? It made my brain hurt but I was obsessed with finishing it to the bitter end!

[Zackariahas]

*points to gamercard* Alot of COD4 and just got Army of Two. Would play Gears more but lag is a pain in the butt lol

[ATC 1982]

Heard it was a good game, but I am in between Lost oddessy, DS, and COD 4

[Sassy1]

Picked up GTA4...I have to admit, I'm having fun with it...I'm a terrible driver though, lol.

[WlknCntrdiction]

you get used to the driving mechanics quick though, so you wont be a terrible driver for long:)

[ATC 1982]

I just picked up the Wii for the family

[otakufreak907]

I'm enjoying GTA4, though I don't believe it's as good as everyone says.

As for Professor Layton, it was a fun game, except every time I got to a certain part the data would erase itself.

[ATC 1982]

Just Picked up a Wii traded in Lost Oddesy for it.

[Hyper]

I mostly play Guild Wars lately but I'm also playing Unreal 1 a bit. (Of which I still host some servers) I may give DS a try sooner or later, if I can find the PC version for a nice price.

[ATC 1982]

Just Picked up Penny Arcade and reverted back to COD2/4 and VP some

[otakufreak907]

Now I'm just playing all the MGS games on Extreme/EEX until MGS4 comes out.

[«:MX:»RoninMastaFX]

Recently, I have only been playing GTA IV and the Unreal Tournament series, but Dark Sector will be played very soon (once I start getting my pension :D).

[michaelab]

im jumping between mass effect and army of two

[Karasu]

as of right now on my PS3 im playing...

Dark Sector
Rainbow Six Vegas 1
Battlefield: Bad Company
Metal Gear Online
Burnout Paradise
Unreal Tournament III

All games rock lol.

[ATC 1982]

So what is everyone playing?

[LordQ]

Well, I recently downloaded BRAID off Xbox Live... if you really want to feel completely inept, stupid, and moronic, give this game a try. It is THE most difficult puzzle based game I have ever played, without question.

Other than that, I've been playing Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2, Kane & Lynch, Siren: Blood Curse... and, of course, Dark Sector.

[michaelab]

i have been playing assassins creed, soulcaliber iV and a game alled chromehounds (its a giant robot, mech like game).

assassins creed was amazing, just my kinda game. SC4 is ok, i like SC2 better. chrome hounds is one of those unsung heroes, its a good but not great game that no one has heard of

[ATC 1982]

I have heard of Chrome Hounds, but I heard it is only fun in groups. After picking up Castle Crashers yesterday I have the Multi-player urge right now. I think it is a cross between Hack/Slash and RPG.

[michaelab]

chrome hounds is a mech game, but more realistic, you have the basic ballistics, missiles and bullest, and variations thereof. there are no jets, which is a bummer, and you have more of a baeomoth gait, instead of the "float like butterfly sting like bee" aspect of armored core

every piece of technology in the game can be seen today, except the best mech suit we have cant step off curbs without falling

[LordQ]

sounds interesting... is CHROME HOUNDS on 360 and ps3?

[ATC 1982]

I think CH is only 360, but right now I am playing castle crashers which has a fun multi-player aspect with a hint of RPG that rocks.

[otakufreak907]

I'm wishing I had Castle Crashers and Tales of Vesperia... >_>...

But other than that Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne on Hard, Medal of Honor Airborne on Expert (hardest setting), and since the Red Faction 3 beta ended today, not much else.

Edit: I got Tales of Vesperia and Disgaea 3 from trading in a bunch of games =D. I'm going to be occupied for a looooong time with these XD.

[michaelab]

sounds interesting... is CHROME HOUNDS on 360 and ps3?

i played it on the 360, but it might be on ps3

[ATC 1982]

I do not see Chrome Hounds on the PS3. If I find anything I will let you know, but think this was just a 360 thing.

[Magnum]

As far as I know, Chromehounds will be only ever for the 360. It was a launch title for the system, I believe. I play with a squad now and then.

I have several I'm playing at the moment. Switching back and forth between Too Human, Halo 3, Timeshift, and a few others as well including Dark Sector of course.

[LordQ]

Have you tried Kane & Lynch: Dead Men?

It's from the same development team as the Hitman series, IO Interactive. Didn't get the best reviews, but still a worthy game... if not for the story alone.

[Magnum]

Have you tried Kane & Lynch: Dead Men?

I opted for Army of Two instead. Too many of my friends were getting it, for me not to.

I may one day rent Kan & Lynch though.

[ATC 1982]

I guess I am in the corner, but I am doing the VP: TIP thing right now as well.

[inf1uence]

im replaying dark sector on brutal mode again. hope there is a sequel.

[michaelab]

army of two was a pretty good game, i was interested enough to unlock every thing and most of the acheivments, i found it the friendly's ai really good; mainly because he was an idiot, willing to charge into a hail of bullets and rockets while you giggle from the sidelines

[LordQ]

and now that it is out, what do you think?

[ATC 1982]

Besides playing Viva Pinata: TIP and tending the gardens with my wife. I have been renting Mercs 2 every now and then just for co-op to blow stuff up which seems to be good as long as I am doing the co-op mode with someone I know.

[otakufreak907]

Well, since my 360 is broken I'm playing the Fatal Frame series for now.

Fallout 3 looks good, but I wasn't a fan of Oblivion so I'm probably just going to rent that and buy Fable 2... Oh wait, Silent Hill 5 comes out in a few days... and Dead Space... and almost everything else... GAH, TOO MUCH IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS D=!

[ATC 1982]

I have rented Fable 2 and switching back and forth to PARIAH for some good old shoot'in time.

[LordQ]

i'm still working on DEAD SPACE and SILENT HILL: HOMECOMING... need to finish for next Tuesday which is FALLOUT 3!!!!!

[otakufreak907]

*Just got back from the midnight release of Guitar Hero World Tour.*

[LordQ]

*Just got back from the midnight release of Guitar Hero World Tour.*

how is it?

[ATC 1982]

Fable 2 still has me wrapped in it's tiny web of goodies.

[shinobboy]

Resistance 2 Beta

[otakufreak907]

how is it?

It's good, I like it better than Rock Band, but I always preferred GH over RB, anyway =P.

And currently I'm completely addicted to the Mirror's Edge demo. Can't wait for the release.

[ATC 1982]

You know I have been playing some Castle Crashers and Puzzle Arcade lately.

[otakufreak907]

Haha, wow, last time I posted here my 360 was broken. Guess what? It is again! So, I've just been playing nothing but Star Ocean 3, getting Valkyria Chronicles from GameFly tomorrow, though =P.

Personally looking forward to Star Ocean 4, Godfather 2, Killzone 2 all just in the next month. Only picking up SO4, though. Good thing RPGs are good to help you through depression =D.

[ATC 1982]

Welcome back and hope you come back more often.

[Magnum]

Yeah I've been gone a while as well. Still been gaming as much as possible. Keeps the mind off of this crappy economy. Oh and I'm looking for a new job. Haven't lost the current on yet, but it's bound to happen from what I hear.

Lately, I've been playing Tenchu Z, BioShock, and anything I get from GameFly.

[ATC 1982]

Good Luck Magnum. Glad to know your still gaming.

[Delta Sierra 561]

Lately i've been playing:

Grand Theft Auto 4

[T Virus Licker]

I've just been playing Dark Sector. My oldest daughter has been playing multiple games including Fallout 3.

[LordQ]

close to finishing RESIDENT EVIL 5 with a workmate on co-op... that damned Wesker is one elusive fella! Beyond that i'm playing:

GUITAR HERO: METALLICA
F.E.A.R. 2
LEFT 4 DEAD
PASSAGE

[ATC 1982]

Currently I am playing: MUA (360) & Mercs 2 (PS3), WarHawk (PS3)

[spider]

Am Playing Pariah everyday 24/7

[Magnum]

Boo! Yup I'm still sneaking around here.

Been playing Fallout 3, Halo Wars, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

[ATC 1982]

Magnum welcome back and don't be afraid to leave a message from time to time. :cool:

[cocosan]

Enchanted Arms, Lost Odyssey, Persona 3 FES (In a few days), Dark Sector, Ace Combat 6, and way way more. For once, I actually wish I had LESS games to go through XD. I'm just trying to pace myself and do one at a time =P.

[ATC 1982]

Lately I have been playing SPyMaster and MUA(360) and about to start on Prince of Persia(PS3)

[Magnum]

Prince of Persia is really fun in my opinion, but it's more of an story driven and ascetically pleasing game than actual involved gameplay. Not everyone's into it, but I think it was excellent.

I'll be playing [PROTOTYPE] when I get home from work today. :D

[otakufreak907]

OH SNAP?! PEOPLE STILL COME HERE.

Been playing bunches of Street Fighter IV and Team Fortress 2 lately. Just recently finished up [PROTOTYPE] and Red Faction 3, though. Definitely gonna stick around for RF3's multiplayer; it's a blast =D.

Picking up BlazBlue in a few days, as well.

[ATC 1982]

otaku - of course people still come here. :cool:

Going to try Sacred 2 later today i hope.

[Magnum]

Oh, I almost missed this one, but I picked up Ghostbusters. Been playing that pretty regularly, but I'm also a long time fan. I'd say it's a good rent for people that just want a pretty good game to play through once. It's campaign is rather short, but I still haven't gotten to try out the co-op/mp part of the game.

[ATC 1982]

I haven't thought about ghost busters being worth 60 even with MP for some strange reason.

[Magnum]

I haven't thought about ghost busters being worth 60 even with MP for some strange reason.

Truthfully it's not, but it's fun for me to play again and again even with out the MP. Not sure why, but it's just really fun to bust some ghosts. :D

[ATC 1982]

I will give my warning not to play Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Played it for my PS3 two nights this weekend yeah I was not impressed. Really though it could have been way better then what came out.

[otakufreak907]

I've really wanted to give Sacred 2 a go, since I'm a huge fan of the first. However, my PC isn't strong enough to run it, sadly, so I've been waiting for a chance to pick up the console version. Let me know how it is.

I got Ghostbusters from GameFly and got about 4 hours in, but it's currently halted due to BlazBlue. I did like what I played of Ghostbusters, though (all Singleplayer; no Multiplayer).

[ATC 1982]

Sacred 2 thoughts:

There is A LOT to explore in this game. I enjoy it since it is a top down game. Also the 360 version of this game is better then the PC version from what I been told. Just to give you a scale I am only 10 hours into this game, but only have explored 4.3 % of the map. Also if you plan on buying this have 240 MS points ready. Go to the market place and purchase the IMP DLC as he will be most helpful and a great value to you even if you rent the game to beat it. All I can really say is explore explore explore.

[Magnum]

Just got The Last Remnant last week. It's not a new game by any stretch, but wow am I hooked. I was itching to play an old fashioned(FF1 is my old fashioned) turn based RPG. Picked this up since it seemed to have more of what I wanted over the other RPGs like it that are currently out there. I must say I'm severely satisfied with my decision.

I heard complaints about the multiple discs, but really you only change the discs once after a certain part in the story to continue.

I did read up on some of the improvements to the PC version that I wish were in the console version. It would have made party customization much easier.

Still, this is an extremely fun game. (Long time RPG fan talking here ;))

[ATC 1982]

I heard EBGames / Gamestop is having deals on games for under 20 dollars

[ATC 1982]

I was just got Little Big Planet int he mail from a friend. Also I have Endwar PS3 bundle coming so I can use the Mic on it.

[Magnum]

I was just got Little Big Planet int he mail from a friend. Also I have Endwar PS3 bundle coming so I can use the Mic on it.

I had a few friends say that Endwar wasn't all that good. Concept was neat but the game itself fell sort of short. Not sure myself though, but they seem to play those types of games all the time so they'd probably know better than I.

Hope it works out for you though. Have fun.

I'm still hooked on Last Remnant. :D

[ATC 1982]

I really only bought it for the headset. As paying 39.99 for the bundle the normal headset costs 49.99. So ten dollars off and a free games sounded good for me. :) even if it a bad game it just gives me more to trade in.

Oh when you said headset, I thought it was some kind of cheap job they gave ya. That's definitely a steal then. Good find.

[ATC 1982]

My daughter has taken over my ps3 Just to play LBP all day long. She is so cute at 4 trying to play this game.

Other than that I am ready for Fat Princess or MUA 2 to come out and pick up my gaming interests a little.

Oh I can't wait until MUA 2 comes out. Hopefully, my connection will support it's co-op. I miss my broadband...:(

[Shadow]

Right now...NHL 2K9, Ghostbusters, and I'm trying to get myself motivated to play Final Fantasy XII

[ATC 1982]

I just picked up Street Fighter 4 for 20 dollars at my local EBGames in the US.

[Magnum]

Section 8
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
Halo 3: ODST

Geez, September is shaping up to be an awesome month. I can't wait to get my hands on these titles. :D

[ATC 1982]

I have been playing Fat Princess and man is that fun. I am right there with you when it comes to september. Have you checked out the new Batman Demo?

Also sorry that I have to approve the posts here.

[Magnum]

Also sorry that I have to approve the posts here.

It's cool. I just check in every once in a while at "lunch" during the week.

I've seen people playing it, but I haven't had that big an interest in Batman: AA since seeing Bane's character. Not happy with it. I'll give it a try eventually though.

Too many titles new and old to play right now. :D

[ATC 1982]

I rented G-Force tonight and heard for the 360 Shadow Complex is really good.

[LordQ]

I rented G-Force tonight and heard for the 360 Shadow Complex is really good.

for the 360? Thought you were PS3 exclusive moving forward, ATC?

[LordQ]

here's my haul as-of-late:

GH: METALLICA
CALL OF JUAREZ: BOUND IN BLOOD
BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM demo

... and lots of BIOSHOCK 2 multiplayer for work.

[ATC 1982]

I have been wanting to play the Mini-Ninjas Demo. Also from what I hear PS3 version of Batman is the best to get with all the extras on the standard edition.

Yes I am still strictly PS3, but doesn't mean my daughters don't play games i want to see on xbox :)

[Magnum]

BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM demo

I'm playing this in it's full version.

Very simply: It. Is. Awesome. :D

[LordQ]

I'm playing this in it's full version.

Very simply: It. Is. Awesome. :D

I just picked it up last nite, for $40 at EB! Can't wait to hit it later! Also, still dragging along in Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood... it's held my attention thus far, which is a sure sign it is good game (i'm very, very picky!)

Any one else playing it? Would love to hear impressions thus far.

[Magnum]

Any one else playing it? Would love to hear impressions thus far.

I saw when it was first advertised. Didn't hear good things about the first so I wanted to wait to hear about its sequel. Still I've got too many games to play here soon as it is. It'll have to wait.

At the same time I pre-ordered Batman, I also pre-ordered Section 8, Halo 3: ODST, and Marvel Ultimate Aliance 2. All of those come out in successive weeks starting next week. I'm going to have plenty to keep me busy over then next few months. :D

[Magnum]

So I played Section 8's Campaign. Sorry to say that it out right sucks.

I had high hopes for this game, but apparently the developers are banking on the multiplayer aspects alone.

Either way, my reaction to the ridiculously short 3-5 hour campaign was this...:eek:...then this...:(...and finally this...:mad:.

This short coming will hurt their sales in the long run. I'm sure of it.

I'll give the multiplayer until M:AU2 comes out, then I might actually trade a game in for the first time ever. :(

[Magnum]

Now playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 and it's awesome! If you liked the first one, you'll love this one. :D

[LordQ]

Now playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 and it's awesome! If you liked the first one, you'll love this one. :D

I imagine, ATC, that you are all over this as well?

I'm currently raping GUITAR HERO 5 on PS3... awesome!

[ATC 1982]

I am going to trade in MUA 2. (PS3) I just got back from my work stint away from home. Lately I have been playing Burnout Paradise surprisingly enough. Seriously though I don't want to even finish MUA 2 and take the loss.

[Magnum]

Didn't like it?

I'm playing ODST some lately. :D

Going to revisit Dark Sector, Too Human, and a few others for a personal video project here soon though.

[LordQ]

k... apparently, around work, i'm an idiot for buying WET. Believe it or not, it is really good! Think STRANGLEHOLD on steroids.

Also trying to finish up Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood.

[Magnum]

k... apparently, around work, i'm an idiot for buying WET. Believe it or not, it is really good! Think STRANGLEHOLD on steroids.

Also trying to finish up Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood.

If I hadn't just bought Section 8, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, and Halo 3: ODST over the past 4 weeks, I would have bought WET. I agree it does look good. I'm very interested in playing it sometime soon. I first saw it in a video with its combat system in action a month or two ago. It's seems pretty unique as far as I've every seen any way. I must restart my GameFly subscription and put in on my list. Too many decent games out there right now to buy so renting them will have to do. :D

Never played Stranglehold.

[ATC 1982]

MUA 2 took everything from MUA 1 and threw it in the trash in my eyes. Wet my daughter likes to play even though she beat it on easy she wants to do it again on normal next time around.

Bayonetta japanese the demo comes out october 8th :)

[LordQ]

next week it is BRUTAL LEGEND and UNCHARTED 2!!!!!

I can't get over how good UNCHARTED's multiplayer is! So addictive... i friggin love RPG only Deathmatch!!!!!

[Magnum]

I sort of got sucked into Fable 2 recently even though I swore I wasn't going to play it cause I thought it looked too much like the first one. Then they offered the game in those episodes on the XBL marketplace. First one was free, but you pay for the rest.(sound familiar) Sure enough I got hooked when I finished playing that first episode. Turned out to be $40 total so I figured it was a decent enough buy.

[ATC 1982]

I am playing the Bayonetta Demo and only play this if you like the DMC series. Also I will be getting Borderlands when it comes out.

[Magnum]

I am playing the Bayonetta Demo and only play this if you like the DMC series. Also I will be getting Borderlands when it comes out.

Everyone seems to be playing Borderlands lately. Guess I'll have to add it to my renewed GameFly account GameQ. :D

Speaking of which I just played Afro Samurai and L4D. I'll probably keep L4D since a bunch of my friends have been bugging me to get it forever.

[ATC 1982]

You should wait till L4D2 comes out. I know I have been playing loads of Borderlands since Tuesday and looking forward to playing some more. Kinda fun playing with friends, but when your grinding by your self it just feels like a chore in some cases.

[Magnum]

Yeah, I played through one campaign on L4D and it's really no fun without others to play it together. I doubt I'll get L4D2 when it comes out, but perhaps after the new year is up.

I ended up just buying Borderlands. It is awesome. :D So glad I just went and bought it instead of waiting for it through the mail.

[LordQ]

do u have a full group?

For Borderlands? I have a few people that are playing it on my FL, but I have yet to partner up with anyone yet.

[ATC 1982]

Not really, but when I get back to my PS3 I will hit you up for some borderlands.

[Magnum]

Not really, but when I get back to my PS3 I will hit you up for some borderlands.

You two and your silly PS3s. Don't you know that 360 is where it's at and always will be...:p

In any case, I've since played Boderlands with a group of four with my level 50 soldier character. All I can say is holy crap. It's so much tougher with four level 50 characters especially after you've all beaten the 2nd playthrough. But like the game says, more players = tougher enemies = better loot. :D

[ATC 1982]

Mag you need to see PS3 is where it is at. Also remember DLC for Borderlands comes out on Nov 24th.

[Magnum]

Mag you need to see PS3 is where it is at.
NEVER! :p

Anyway, we'll have to see if I'm done with AC2 by then as it trumps Borderlands right now in awesomeness. :D

8-10+ hours into AC2 and I'm not even half way through yet. *giggle* :D

[ATC 1982]

I am still playing Borderlands on and off. Right now I am really waiting for is Darksiders as it looks so good.

[otakufreak907]

Tons and tons and tons of BlazBlue and TF2. Some MW2 on the side, and I completed a lot of games recently so I won't bother listing them all xP

So guys, how's it goin'?

[LordQ]

well, beyond playing Bioshock 2 for work, i've been hitting some Assassin's Creed 2, Brutal Legend, Pixel Junk Shooter, Modern Warfare 2.

[ATC 1982]

During my move I have just been playing Borderlands, Madden Arcade (PSN), Shatter and some Zen Pinball. Guess I just been Playstioning it up lately. Looking forward to the new Borderlands DLC in january and Darksiders on PS3 January 5th.

@Lord Q - Must be nice playing all that BS2 :cool:

@Otaku - Nice to see you back again.

[Magnum]

Lately, I've been just getting achievements. Trying to reach 50000 before the end of the year. It'll be close, but I think I'll make it. :D

[ATC 1982]

I got into the Modnation Racers Beta and so enjoying that game.

[otakufreak907]

Lately, I've been just getting achievements. Trying to reach 50000 before the end of the year. It'll be close, but I think I'll make it. :D

Didja make it? =O

Modnation Racers looked really cool, but I never bothered looking into the beta since I just recently got my PS3 back from my sister at a university. Needless to say, I've been playing bunches of PS3 games (and, as always, PC) while keeping up TF2 =D. Sadly, my 360 disk drive broke (again), so no BlazBlue for me for awhile =(

[ATC 1982]

With Torchlight (Steam) keeping me busy Looting. All I have had time for is Borderlands (PS3) for looting as well. Just waiting on Darksiders (PS3) to get to me by mail and I am set.

[ATC 1982]

I just popped in Darksiders and let me just say WOW I am speech less. Just even with one or two buttons for attack. It is simple, but yet satisfying.

[Magnum]

Didja make it? =O
Nope, I didn't make it in time, but I did finally reach it about a week or so later. This year's goal is an ambitious 100,000 GS. :D

I just popped in Darksiders and let me just say WOW I am speech less. Just even with one or two buttons for attack. It is simple, but yet satisfying.

Awesome game in my opinion. I know it's borrowed just about everything in it from other games and outside sources, but it was put together in a super awesome way. So fun and I can't wait for a sequel.

I did just buy(total mistake) Army of Two: The 40th Day. Played it and by my standards it's worse than the first one. I think they took some of the meat when they trimmed most of the fat from the first game while making this one. Some nice new instruments for playing co-op with the AI, but it also seems like the AI is 'dumber' this time around. A lot of little glitches that interfered with commands to your virtual partner in the game. The good news is most of those glitches can be fixed by playing the game with a real live co-op partner.

Other than that the game felt too short. Playing on Casual and taking my time it still took 15-18 hours to complete, but it felt like a lot less story-wise.

[ATC 1982]

I almost bought Army of Two: The 40th Day, but opted for The Saboteur instead. Anyway, I just got back from 4 weeks vacation, was sick nearly the entire time, so finished lots of games that have been accumulating, including:

BOURNE CONSPIRACY
TURNING POINT: FALL OF LIBERTY
CONDEMNED 2
CALL OF DUTY: WAW
CALL OF DUTY: MW2
BROTHERS IN ARMS

Not sure what to play next. I have DRAGON AGE: ORIGINS, DARKSIDERS and THE SABOTEUR still in their original wrapping. Any suggestions where I should start?


Nope, I didn't make it in time, but I did finally reach it about a week or so later. This year's goal is an ambitious 100,000 GS. :D



Awesome game in my opinion. I know it's borrowed just about everything in it from other games and outside sources, but it was put together in a super awesome way. So fun and I can't wait for a sequel.

I did just buy(total mistake) Army of Two: The 40th Day. Played it and by my standards it's worse than the first one. I think they took some of the meat when they trimmed most of the fat from the first game while making this one. Some nice new instruments for playing co-op with the AI, but it also seems like the AI is 'dumber' this time around. A lot of little glitches that interfered with commands to your virtual partner in the game. The good news is most of those glitches can be fixed by playing the game with a real live co-op partner.

Other than that the game felt too short. Playing on Casual and taking my time it still took 15-18 hours to complete, but it felt like a lot less story-wise.

Thanks ATC.

Good call on not buying Army of Two. I'd shoot for Darksiders first. It's not excessivly long, but you can have tons of fun playing it. Might want to take on Saboteur next. I haven't played it, and I've heard mixed reviews. Still, if you ever want to get those two done, don't play Dragon Age: Origins until you're finished with the others. If you're big into RPGs, DA:O will envelope you completely. There is so much to do in DA and so many characters and classes to try it's a bit overwelming.

One other reason to sort of wait to start DA:O is their most recent DLC patch has been causing problems with some of the game's features. Doesn't even matter if you purchased the latest DLC, if you download the patch, it can screw some things up in the game. Still once that's resolved, I'd say you could put a serious amount of time into that game.

Which ever you decide, have fun! :D

[LordQ]

Just started DARKSIDERS, and love it! Gotta say that this game could very well be the GOD OF WAR killer!

[ATC 1982]

Glad you finally took to Darksiders and get on that Borderlands wagon :) so i can level you up and help you through it.

[otakufreak907]

I'm the only person I know that actually didn't like Darksiders =(

I did like Army of Two the 40th Day, though. I would have felt awful and hated it if I paid $60 for it (I rented it) seeing as my first playthrough on Contractor only took six hours and then another two or so hours on casual to get all the collectibles and choices.

I do agree that the story was a lot worse, but I never played the first game for the story XP. I think the AI was improved in some areas and dumbed in others, but it was still sufficient enough to make it through for me.

I would say go for The Saboteur next after you finish Darksiders, since if you end up liking DA:O, it's gonna be a 60-100 hour addiction.

Finishing Borderlands and jumping around in Mirror's Edge... also eager to receive my Bioshock 2 copy :)

[Magnum]

Mass Effect 2 has dominated my time this week and probably will some more until BioShock 2 comes out. Assassin's Creed 2 just dropped some DLC that I'll need to check out eventually. Unfortunatly, I have BioShock 2, Dante's Inferno, and AvP coming out very soon and all very close together, so AC2 will have to wait a little while. :(

Played Bayonetta recently too. It was pretty fun besides all the repeated button mashing...my fingers actually hurt after playing that game. :p

If you liked Bayonetta, I'd recommend Devil May Cry 3 for PS2 (the PC port is just plain awful, so I'd only recommend it as last resort if you can't play it on PS2).

I beat Mass Effect 2 (my third playthrough), Tales of Symphonia 2, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, and No More Heroes 2 all in one sitting without sleeping. Now I'm playing Super Mario Galaxy, Battlefield Bad Company 2 (PC) Beta, playing through the PoP Sands of Time trilogy (currently on Warrior Within), and, as always, TF2 and BlazBlue

Edit: Hey, moderator approval on posts is gone now =D

[ATC 1982]

@Otaku - I moved this thread to a spot where I knew mod approval was not active. I hate mod approval with threads like these. :) Glad you like it.

For me it is still just Borderlands and now worms for PS3.

[Magnum]

I will say I have a PS2, but I only bought it (in a moment of weakness) to play Final Fantasy X and X2. Other than that one time I will never buy Sony supported products again...besides a few movies that you can't avoid because they're greedy ip hogs. :p

Beat ME2 and still playing it, but I might give a little attention to Dead Space which I have yet to play(too scary :()

[biovf]

Anyone has any thoughts about Assassin's creed 2? :)

I'm waiting for the pc version :cool:

Excellent game. So much better than the first.

[LordQ]

AC2 is great... Ubi learned from their mistakes in the first Assassin's and made the game they first envisioned.

[ATC 1982]

Right now I am playing White Knight Chronicles and Still got Borderlands on my mind.

[otakufreak907]

Right now I am playing White Knight Chronicles

How d'you like it? I've already put a large amount of time into it, I think it's fantastic

[ATC 1982]

@Otaku my GT is ATC-192.land for my GeoNet thing. I am only up to the walking city.

[biovf]

Nobody has started BS2 yet? :)

I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive...

[LordQ]

I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive...

started last night... about 1/4 way into single player.

[biovf]

C'mon do I need to ask? :p How is it? Good or über good?

[Magnum]

So got my SE copy of Bioshock 2 yesterday. After a friend who got this game early to review it asked me to come play the MP with him before I even touched the SP yet, I haven't played much of the campaign since. :D

I gotta say I was skeptical about MP in Bioshock, but everyone at DE has delivered quite a hit with this. My friend and I likened it to Red Faction's MP in terms of mayhem and chaos but evem more fun than RF:G.

Everyone I've played with so far says they are really enjoying it a lot. I am too. Not sure when I'll actually get to play the single player. Must level more! :D

A few drawbacks that we've found so far are some random system freezes when a match begins or ends. Sometimes even during and if this happens the whole match ends for everyone. Fortunately, you keep what ever Adam and points you scored during the match even if it ends this way. Other than those small issues, it's a great MP experience. A fun one that I really haven't seen for a while now.

If this Bioshock mp binge keeps up, I won't have time to play Dante's Inferno(which I also just picked up) and AVP comes out soon too. :eek: Too many good games!

hmmm... yeah, we've heard about the system freezes/crashes, but have yet to reproduce it at work while playing the retail version... i've been trying all morning. If you could keep an eye when this happens specifically, and what steps led up to a freeze/crash, that would be awesome... just post it in this thread.

Glad you are enjoying!

We thought it might be a specific game type, but we've ruled that out since. Anyway, so far these have been the conditions I was in when it happened to me.

Every time we were in an XBL party chat with two or more people.
1.) Game has just ended, party leader returns party to the lobby results in system freeze every 10 or so matches for one or more people. Number of matches varies greatly though.
2.) While in the party lobby, party leader starts a match search which results in system freeze for one or more people.

Pretty much the key factor to all of the freezes I've experience myself or to someone else in the party have been due to returning to the party lobby or starting a new match search from it. The few people I was playing with said they haven't had too much trouble when on their own, but it does happen sometimes then as well.

Also, I'm not sure this really has anything to do with it, but all of the people that were playing in the party at the time had Bioshock 2 installed to their 360 hard drive including myself.

Hope you guys can figure it out. It's not too much trouble right now, but it could get rather irritating if it starts occurring too often. :(

[biovf]

I should be receiving mine in a couple of hours or so...can´t wait to put my hands on the Collector's edition artbook :)

[powerhouse]

I've been playing Bioshock 2 as well :)
Single player is great....... Multiplayer on the other hand is... hard to explain, it could have been so much better. I like games that require skill and every weapon does require skill in aiming oh wait grenade launcher. Such a disappointment the multiplayer could have been so much better, seems like bad balancing to me.
Am I the only person that sees this problem?
Cannot fault single player though, love it!

From those I've talked to, this would be the first I've heard any complaints about it.

It's a different kind of multiplayer experience and I like that its not the typical 'all competition no room for fun' play. If I want to play competitively, I'll play Halo 3. This is just out right plain fun.

I think the balancing is fine too. Every weapon has a counter weapon or plasmid strategy. After you level up a bit, it gets a whole lot more interesting, but you don't need to level up to play against others with higher levels. That's the really good part about it. Everyone is equal more or less regardless of level. Anyone can take anyone else out given the right aim and proper strategy.

Anyway, good to hear you like the single player experience, but I have to disagree with you on the multiplayer "could be better" thing. I think it's the most enjoyable multiplayer experience out there right now besides Borderlands. Enjoy playing though. :)

I have been addicted to Borderlands DLC and now FF XIII

[Magnum]

Ditto...:D

Probably pick back up where I just left Mass Effect 2 for the new DLC too when I'm completely done with FF13. On chapter 12 of the story now. :D

[Magnum]

Finished FF13's story last night. Two words...freakin' awesome. :D

[ATC 1982]

I gave up on FF XIII due to Pokemon Soul Silver, but I have been kinda addicted to the ipad game WeRule :) which is also on the iphone/itouch

[Magnum]

I got to the point in FFXIII where the grinding went way beyond grinding to get the items for the ultimate weapons and stuff...so I stopped for now.

Finished Mass Effect 2...on Insanity. ;)

Yesterday, I picked up Splinter Cell: Conviction for my 360. It's pretty good other than the fact I have to play it offline due to this glitch with the XBL patch deal. Still, it's pretty fun. :D

[Magnum]

I just downloaded the beta StarCraft2 over the weekend. Played a few rounds with the computer. Feels pretty much like the good old SC and takes me back a few years...:p.

I can't wait until they release the full game. :D
