What games are you playing?

I feel like a tool for admitting it, but I still play Moria, even though I won the stupid thing twenty years ago. Sometimes, I need the old-time feel of the archaic dungeon crawl, even though the computer screen now has more colors than just green.
 
I'm currently playing "Golden Sun" for the Game Boy Advance. I keep dying in Lamkin Desert. Maybe six times will be the charm. :D

I am replaying Zelda - Ocarina of Time which I bought with Wii points. So cool! I swear it was the best game I ever played - but I would put Shadow of the Collosus right up there on the PS2.

Hey PW your current post # is 666. The number of the Beast!
 
Batman is a pretty cool game so far in my hallowed opinion.

I really can't find fault with it. Everything a modern game should be. Gripping storyline, good voice acting, impressive graphics, interesting visuals with easy to pick up and varied gameplay.

I was worried that just being in Arkham levels would look samey, but so far each section of Arkham has had a different look and feel to it - from the old Victorianesqe sections to the more modern industrial prison to the white washed medical wing.

Highly recomended.

*sigh* Shadow of the Collossus and Ico are such great games, and so is Okami. I hope I can put the Last Guardian up there as well, it looks amazing.

The best part about OoT is the soundtrack. :P It's my favorite game too.
 
Playing No More Heroes, which is a very stylistic action-adventure game for Wii. Nothing amazing here and I'm not even sure I'll finish it, but it might be good fun for someone looking for some simple mindless fun.

Also playing an old WWII sniper game on PS2 called Sniper Elite. It's old and has some issues, but I'm a sucker for sniper games so I'm giving more of a shot than a I would other types of games with the same issues.
 
I've given up on Just Cause, it had lots of potential but it's so repetitive and buggy I just couldn't find anything about it worth carrying on. Hopefully they'll address the issues with the sequel. Am waiting for the local store to get it's rental copies of Batman: AA back so I can find out what it's all about.
 
Just clocked The Darkness on 360, strange ending that seems to have been left for a potential sequel but otherwise incredibly cinematic and interesting game. On the downside the gun sighting was a bit hit and miss, the amount of light in parts of the game was a bit annoying and it was all a tad easy. On the upside; very atmospheric, great set pieces, an honest to goodness mature game that warranted an 18 rating without being self-indulgent, loading segments that were enjoyable!! and some serious shock moments.

It had been at the back of the cupboard for a while and why on earth I never played it sooner I don't know. Currently also great value for money in the bargain bins. I have moved on to Pure, insane ATV racing/stunt game that I put down to play GTA IV and never picked back up, something I am now rectifying. Great blast of fun so far. Itching for the new GTA IV disc to come out also :D
 
I am currently playing Fallout 3 and Oblivion Elder Scrolls. Good job Bethseda! I absolutely love Fallout 3!! By far one of the best games I have played. Cant wait to get highspeed to I can play the downloads!! Oblivion is not as good as Fallout but Im still enjoying it!!
 
I am still playing the PixelJunk series downloadable games for the PS3. For 15 bucks, I have put more time into them than I have with my RPGs. I haven't played the 4th installment in the series (is it out yet?) but I'm sure it will be up to par with the rest.

I've also been playing Braid for the 360. I seem to spend more time on downloadable content than full on games. I just don't have the time to put into them anymore. I would love to sit down with Infamous every night, but that just doesn't happen anymore.

I'm looking forward to playing Brutal Legends and I'm sure I'll pick up Beatles Rockband eventually.

There are some upcomings that I cannot wait for, mainly God of War 3 and Final Fantasy XIII. Good line up for the next couple of years. Hopefully Natal won't blow it.

Ooohh, I loved Braid. I might have to fire up the 360 and play it again. Another good downloadable is Shadow Complex.
 
I cant say I am playing this game but I played LOTR:Conquest when I stayed with my brother recently on the PS3. We played through all the various batlles (not on line). We had fun while consuming a few beverages. BUT - it was a huge bastardization. Mages and assasins or whatnot. I would never buy it myself though it was a fun few hours of hack n slash.

I played the demo and I wasn't very impressed. It was a typical button mash that tried to incorperate some combos that seemed to complicated to work well. Not as good as the other lotr games.
 
Yea I dont like complicated combos - neither my brain or fingers work that fast.
My preference is for a more puzzle based, wander across the lanscape kind of game. I am curious if anyone plays LOTR on line the multi-player one ala WOW. I have not played Warcraft but am interested in a LOTR version if it is anygood.
 
Yeah. I wasn't a fan of Conquest either. It hurt my thumb.

I'm currently playing Too Human. It's another button masher. . . 'cept it's not, 'cos in order to attack you have to use the right joystick (on the 360), which is weird and I don't really like that. This game also hurts my thumb. However, only 11 more days until my collector's edition of Dragon Age: Origins is released. I can't wait.
