The only ones I'm playing are Urban Dead on the 'net and Silent Hunter III..

Frontier elite is on the back burner at the moment, on account of my trusty U-boat being terrorized by aircraft!

Gods help me...I'm playing Pokemon Diamond on the DS. Never played a Pokemon game before, it's awright but nothing as hugely addictive and compelling as others would make it out to be.

Re: What games are you playing right now? (merged)

I've been playing through the Oblivion expansion, Shivering Isles. It's pretty good, has some brilliant wee twists and in some ways regains a bit of the atmosphere missing since Morrowind (it's nice to see Golden Saints again, for example), but is nowhere near as complete an experience as the likes of Bloodmoon was. If someone would just remake Morrowind using the Oblivion engine I'd literally sex them up.

Its helped a lot by the unique animations both in the cut scenes and the fact that you can do a lot of individual character based stuff like get tattoos. Very geeky all the same however.
This game sucks, l wish l could go back in time and tell myself not to buy it. I played it and played it, gave it every opportunity to be at least a shadow of 10 but nooooo, it had to suck harder as the game went on.

I had hoped that by the time l had reached mount omi-enashia, l dont care that it is spelt wrong, that the story would improve slightly, but the addition of a new emo hair styled character, and a stupid cut scene involving the ridiculous judges signed it for me.

Worst final fanatasy game every!

Thank god "god of war 2" is out in stores today!

My boyfriend is buying a new computer so he can play Oblivion - The Elder Scrolls IV.

We've just completed the Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance II for the PS2, now we're playing the first one. The are really excellent.

Although we started off playing the first one in hard mode and it was just ridiculous, so after three struggling hours we went back to normal mode and it only took us an hour to get to where we'd reached.

Also bought Soul Calibur III but haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

Re: What games are you playing right now? (merged)

Oblivion is brilliant, but only after the application of several essential mods imo. Wee things like the map, inventory and user interface detract from the atmosphere unless you mod them to be less intrusive and less 'idiot proof'.

Playing through Golden Sun 1 and 2 again. You really can't do one without doing the other. Just completed the first, albeit with a far weaker party than I normally have at the end of the game - now for the second.

Now I'm feeling the rage, saved it at 33% with no life or sand left, and can't take out a zombie-bird on a ledge because I die as soon as it gets near me So I've started again...gah.

I did that at the 89% mark...ended up just replaying it over n over again and getting better and better at the game (of course, locking myself in the hotel room at some convention with nothing but a ps2 and PoP...)
