Anyway, I'm currently playing the Arma 3 alpha. Pretty great so far. Getting into mission editing and modding for it. |

Since my power supply burned down (as it turns out, you do have to clean up the filters from time to time!) and the spare one I had lying around is not compatible with my graphics card (but will be once I find an adapter), I've been using the graphics chip integrated into my i7 processor... Since it's rather limiting, I currently play Baldurs gate 2: Throne of Bhaal and pretend I really enjoy it :D (it's a great game, but I just finished the original and wanted a break .. tough luck)

Minecraft. Its so addicting

I've been playing Super Mario All-stars lately. Already beat Super Mario Bros 1 and the Lost Levels, might work on the others over Spring break. I've also been playing Fallout 3 but I'm at the end of playing that...it's just so glitchy on my computer that it loses some of the fun.

Playing God of War: Ascension right now. Eh, it is what it is. A fun game to just pick up and play which has great boss fights and set pieces. I could not be less interested in the story (despite being very interested in Greek Mythology), and it's the same old formula of fight this mob, move into the next area, fight another mob, solve a puzzle, fight another mob, etc., etc. I know it's a game that wants to stick to the formula that made it popular in the first place, but it's almost shocking how little they've changed.
And it has to be said that this series has nowhere to go now. We already offed all of the gods and fought tons of the famous heroes and monsters in the first 3 games, so you can't really up or even match the wow factor of the original trilogy, not in this game and especially not in any games they plan on doing down the road. |
God of War: Ascension looks like something that was put together to squeeze the final few pennies out of the franchise before they make a God of War 4 for the Playstation 4. I kind of got the same impression from the new Gears of War: Judgement game, an attempt to keep the property fresh in the minds of audiences while they wait for the next "real" game. Which kind of makes sense in a way considering how long this console generation has lasted, and it makes me wonder if people would have been kinder to Crysis 3 if it had been released on the next generation of consoles.
Anyhow, I just have one more day to wait till I can play this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...k_Infinite.jpg First game I've pre-ordered since 2010's Heavy Rain. |

I'm going in next check so I can remember to preorder The Last of Us. I totally spaced it today, even though that and buying Bioshock: Infinite were my whole reason for trekking to the mall. |
I almost bought Bioshock: infinite yesterday. Almost. I remember how I couldn't get through the 1st part, despite being a huge System Shock fan... The combat was clunky, action was chaotic, I played maybe 2 hours of it and that's it. I might come back to it one day...
Anyway, I got an almost 15$ cheaper Assassins Creed 3, and so far it's a great game. Finally a game where the plot and the way it's presented (at least in the 1st hour or so) doesn't make me feel like skipping it completely. I'll wait with my final judgment until I'm done with the game though. |
The combat in Infinite is good.
|
I enjoyed the hell out of it for about 5 hours yesterday, well paced story, likable characters whose arcs drive the plot, and a great combat system that allows for some great combinations of vigors and guns. I really wish my PC could handle it though, because the 360 version does feature some rather ugly textures, but that's nothing a new video card can't fix so I'll probably end up buying it again on Steam during a sale sometime in the future.
All in all this is really the only AAA game I've actually been excited for since... uh.. L.A. Noire I guess and the fact that it delivers in every way where it counts has me more than content. |
god damn this bioshock game is good.
where the old bioshock's felt more grounded this one is more ethereal and out-there. Subject matter has racism,neo patriotism and religous bigotry all wrapped up and its just so enticing. Few games manage to be so interpretive, a lot of the metaphors are obvious but it's a testament to the narrative that so much of it isn't explicitly told to you, if you wanna unravel more your free to do so at your discretion, and its actually rewarding. Mechanically its a feat too. Seeing the city from various heights is really cool. I wholly expected a 5 gig install or some ish but the game runs great with few loading times. Only gripe is i miss the weapon wheel, it just feels missing. |
Just got my copy of Slender: The Arrival in my email last night. Been playing it a lot today. Really well done game. The picture is from my phone.

I got God of War: Ascension yesterday. I actually think these guys are really good at tweaking the system just enough in each game to keep it fresh while still giving people a God of War game. I always have to spend the first couple hours getting the hang of the minor tweaks, mastering it, and then feeling like a badass all over again. While I can tell the rage meter is going to produce some problems later in the game (I use the hell out of combos and not having them by getting knocked around once is kind of annoying), I think it added enough change to keep me interested and challenged. Plus, it fits...Kratos isn't exactly rage-filled just yet like in the main games so you have to get him that way. My only other problem with it is the beginning...it just kinda...started. Every GoW game has started with something freaking EPIC and this is the first one (PSP games included) that didn't. By the end of his escape with that battle with the Aegean, though, I was fully immersed. I love the scale these games have.
Also found a used copy of the Metal Gear Solid HD collection. After playing through 4, I wanted to go back and play all of them over again. Plus, I never played Peace Walker so that should be fun. I can't wait to hear more about MGS V...although I'm a little upset David Hayter won't be the voice of Snake. |

As for starting off with something epic, I think that's more just a by-product of the series really doing everything it can do in the previous games. This game still features awesome set pieces and cool boss fights, but it's tough to better or duplicate fighting a hydra for the first time, the Colossus of Rhodes come to life, or fighting Poseiden while on the back of a Titan scaling Mount Olympus, not to mention all of the other things that this series has done. |

I've also heard about that part at the end you are talking about...I'm kinda worried about it because if one battle can get everyone complaining about it, it must be really damn hard. And I'm playing on hard, so this might not be good. The GoW games can produce some controller-breaking-rage-filled moments for me so I'm really dreading that battle... |
anybody beat bioshock: infinite yet? maaan that ending is cray
i wonder what the dlc will be about assuming they don't add multiplayer |
Having a Thief marathon to prepare myself to the newest one.

Two games I have thoroughly enjoyed although they make me want to punch things:
The Binding of Isaac http://www.ifc.com/wp-content/upload...g_of_Isaac.jpg & Super Meat Boy http://www.diygamer.com/wp-content/u...-xbox-live.jpg I then realized that both these games are made my the same person. One skilled developer who knows how to put a difficult game together while making the soundtrack amazing so the game doesn't get stale. |
^Binding of Isaac is one of the games I've spent the most time with since its release. Just great fun and I often see it on sale for like one and a half euro, which is nothing. A real steal!
|
^Absolutely. It's fun, and with the difficulty being what it is, it makes for great replay value, especially since the rooms change each time you start a new run through.

I almost bought the season pass, but balked at the last minute. I'll pay for it if I hear that the DLC is absolutely phenomenal, but probably not otherwise. The game itself is more than good enough for me.
|
Anybody else excited for this? |
I kind of regret buying Army of Two Devils Cartel blindly without renting/reading reviews. I wanted a 3rd person shooter so I picked it up but it seems like I got a fps type shooter that has little mini stages that are basically just waves of enemies coming out from different sides

Right now watching my wife play Midnight Club LA

I love metal gear rising and lara croft :)

Basically it's a reskinned Far Cry 3 with original story and campaign that's suppose to be around 8 hours or so. It's only $15 too (or at least it will be on Steam), I say it's a pretty sound investment considering pretty much every Call Of Duty game since 4 has been half that long and costs $60 US.
