Re: What games are you playing right now?

Lost Odyssey did seem pretty good, but I stopped playing it ages ago and I don't know if I'll be able to just pick it up again.

Playing The Darkness, finally, after paying £6 for it about a year ago. Really fucking entertaining, enjoying it immensely. Also, finally played Left 4 Dead with a real person, intense.

i thought the Wet demo was a pile of self righteous wankery. the need to slide about to kill someone when they're a few feet in front of you is just silliness.

Done with GH5. Possibly the easiest one of the lot. Don't think there was a single song I didn't 5 star in hard. May go back and do the Guitar, Bass and Drum challenges.

Back to Oblivion for me.

Same, i stopped playing right at the 'do all the sidequests before you have to go on with the game' bit that we all love so much. Wouldn't know where to start when i get back.

Might start it again, waste another 70 hours.

Re: What games are you playing right now?

I heard the opening music for GTA: San Andreas on Youtube the day, which has given me the urge to play the game from scratch again.

Then I remembered I had created a save game years ago where I had completed all (yes, ALL) the side-quests in the game before I had even completed the first flung-out-the-car-by-Tenpenny-and-ride-the-BMX-home mission.

This is going to be a piece of piss .

Re: What games are you playing right now?

I've started a new game of Stalker - waiting on an updated total conversion mod, but for now just mucking about with vanilla. This really was a great game, just plagued with some glitches and unfinished bits. I'm hoping this mod will spice it up a bit, since it's entire premise is bring the game into 2009.

Re: What games are you playing right now?

Playing Operation Flashpoint 2 at the moment, not too far in and never played the first but it's pretty decent so far. Enjoying the "if you get shot 1-2 times, you're fucked" aspect of the game!

Got myself a gp2x wiz handheld the other day as i'm bored of my ds and psp. So i've been playing a load of old snes n megadrive games on that.

[Prototype]

There is something to be said about being able to punch a Helicopter out of the Sky within 2 minutes of starting a game.

Re: What games are you playing right now?

Just finished another playthrough of Stalker, thinking about installing FEAR since I've not played that in ages.
I'm still dipping in to Empire Total War as well, but it's just sort of... uncomfortable is the best way I can describe it.
