So What Are YOU Playing?

[Oravis]

That is my team now and yeah... I noticed that their AoE moves give them much more xp. But I think it is because of the amount of hits they do. I was grinding to make money for the professor hat for -50% mp usage for everyone and managed to get Acelora to 99 while everyone else is around 70.

Aquaria

I've been telling all of my friends about it. It's a side scrolling adventure game underwater, with beautiful art, amazing music, and an atmosphere that keeps drawing me in more and more and making me play.

It's on Steam for cheap in one of the Indie Game packs,

Just finished my hard play-through on Silent Hill Homecoming as "family game night."

Then I'm still playing the crap out of MAG now that I've vetted to Valor. Good lord they are soooo bad. I consistently top every round and still lose. I'm up to level 47 now which is nice.

Finally I have rock band 3 and sonic adventure psn to play, as well as fallout: NV and Kung-fu Rider!

bought super scribblenauts earlier today.
This is most likely already known, but type in "Philosoraptor", "Ceiling cat" "keyboard cat" "longcat" "all our base are belong to us" for lulz. Also "Large Hydron Collider"
"Angry God" riding "Philosoraptor" fighting "Cthulu" Go!

Just started playing The Witcher, having recently bought it for $5 off Steam. Seems like a good game so far, the battle system takes some getting used to though for someone like me who is used to playing RPGs on consoles. Also playing The Force Unleashed 2, although not for long, 3 hours in and I'm in the last area already. Someone really should go to jail for how short that game is. What is there is good though, just feels like I'm playing through one chapter of a larger game.

[Souj]

yeah, force unleashed 2 should not have been sold as a game. It would have been good DLC though.
The boss fights were all terrible as well. for the boss fights all you had to do was do 1 set of moves, then repeat those same moves 4-5 times. Vader fight was exceptionally boring. Was not a challenge in the slightest, even on Unleashed.

PacMan Champion Edition DX. Easily one of the best $10 purchases I've made in a long time; getting the speed up to 50 and speeding through the levels with 30 ghosts behind you is absolute fun.

Epic Mickey: Currently playing this like I did Super Mario Galaxy 2 and playing when my wife is up and just wants to watch. We're both Disney fanatics (me more Mickey and the older cartoons) so I get to enjoy seeing all the older stuff revisited while she gets to see it for the first time.

Will be starting Enslaved Odyssey to the West soon as I've heard it's an fantastic but largely ignored game. Have high hopes for it.

[Atreides]

enslaved is great

also I couldnt get very far in epic mickey. Fun game, but holy fuck that camera

[Darkdreamer]

I may have to pick up Epic Mickey at some point. Having a 7 and 2 year old girls means I already have an overload on games and I can't really play something like God of War or GTA while the kids are up so it might be a nice alternative. The oldest loved watching games like Kingdom Hearts so we'll see, may just have to wait till it's sold for cheap.

[TacoTaru]

Atreides isn't kidding, the camera is pretty awful. I'm only (maybe) two hours into it and I'm already having to figure out how to finesse the camera because it doesn't doesn't naturally work with you. That and pressing the one button to go into first person then having to reach down and hit it again to get out of it. If you can deal with the camera, it's a lot of fun platforming around a decrepit Disneyland.

[Yuri-G]

doing Dark Brotherhood for the first time in Oblivion. I want that fucking horse!

finally getting into Morrowind after many attempts. so yeah, I'm playing two Elder Scrolls games at once. not sure how that works.

not playing much else. left DKCR hanging around world 6, might get back into that. then again, NSMBWii is still waiting for me to finish it after stopping on world 8-2 or 8-3 (that annoying dark underwater world) so we'll see if that ever happens, heh.

then again, who needs other games when you have the Elder Scrolls series.

oh, and a friend is trying to get me into WoW. it might happen, I haven't decided yet. never played WoW seriously before so it would be something new, at least. then again, fuck MMOs.

[Hitoshura]

Playing Tales of Destiny II (Eternia) for the first time in about 7 years, feels good man.

[Oravis]

Finished Crimson Gem Saga... I feel betrayed by that ending. I can understand setting something up for a sequel but that was abit much.

Hell yeah, I'm doing a run through of it in between FFXI and my LLG for BoF3. The game never gets old, can't say it's the first time in 7 years for me as I tend to get the urge to play it at least once every year, lol.

Yeah, the ending was a huge cop out. But at least it was fun getting there.

[Insanecyclone]

Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume currently.

Got it for $10 and it's worth that amount currently. I just hate the whole revenge story going on in it.

lol, it becomes really hard not to plume certain characters, but the concept and the different paths at least give some replay value. The first run I didn't plume anyone, but that was Gawain's path--I think it's Hirothe Walk--and everyone there is worth keeping, i.e. watch as Gwendal murders the entire game. The 2 other paths have people who will give almost gamebreaking abilities for pluming, though.

Just picked up Red Dead Redemption last night and played for a few hours. So far it's been a lot of fun, can definitely feel the GTA inspired set up of the missions. I'm trying to be good on my play through but I so desperately want to hogtie one of the hookers and throw her off a cliff, or line up a bunch of them on the train track and watch the train plow over them. As an added bonus I think I traumatized my 6 year old when I skinned a deer and I accidently let it slip "There goes Bambi".

Just started Hexyz Force and I'm enjoying it quite abit so far.

Manually save you game, have fun fucking around, reload save!

Do the train track idea, there's a cheeve/trophy for it. >.>



As for me, been playing some Half-Minute Hero lately. Forgot how fun that game was. I've been trying to work away at the titles, and some of them are damn near impossible. There's this one hermit in a later level who I have the option of fighting directly when I hit an appropriate level (40+), and he just rapes the shit out of me no matter how much I try to grind levels before time/money run out. -.-

[Darkdreamer]

Yeah I saw that trophy on the list, sounds like so much fun :D

I'm almost tempted to make my oldest daughter watch me slaughter little bunnies the next time she's bad.
