What games are you playing?

Splitting my time between Modern Warfare (veteran), Borderlands (1 trophy away from platinum) and Dead Space - which, as it has been called everywhere, is definitely the sleeper hit of the year for me!

Alas, I have a pile of 15 games to work thru and I can see several still with their wrappers on... and I've just bagged myself more hours at work... doh!

I have FINALLY gotten as close to 100% on Fallout and Elder Scrolls (as close as sanity allows) and I have moved on!

Im now playing Resident Evil 5. Its different than the other Resident evil games I have played.


Pros:
No more typewriters, we now have checkpoints and end-of-chapter-autosaves. Which is a pro and a con for different reasons.

I like being able to go back to previous chapters/levels and stockpile on ammo because I have endless patience with farming.

Weapons upgrades are very rewarding.

Cons:
The entire reason I bought this game (and not Dragon Age :) )Was the two-player option. I have been trying to get my analog boyfriend off his atari 2500 and into the new world. (not that I have anything against the 2500! Im unstoppable at centipede) But setting up the two player mode is a long and annoying process, EVERY TIME.

No more typewriters so you cant save manually.

I'm currently playing Dragon Age: Origins, awesome game! Counter Strike:Source man this game never gets old! Modern Warfare 2 and Metal Gear Solid!
 
Still playing COD: MW2, the campaign is disappointingly short and I've managed to complete it on all difficulties. The Special Ops section is fun and hard, but with it using sections from some of campaign's levels I feel a bit short-changed by the whole experience. I have Batman and UFC: Undisputed waiting in the wings.
 
For those of you who own Batman: AA, what's the final verdict? Can you describe flaws, if any?
 
I just beat Dragon Age:Origins. That game was flipping amazing. It is right up there with Fallout and Quest for Glory as my all time favorite RPG...dont know what Im gonna play next. Guess I'll have to dust off my Fifa skills.
 
Going to pick up Dragon Age: Origins after Christmas. Couldn't afford it before and in a flip between that an MW2... I know MW2 was completed in two days, but still, a quality two days.
 
I'm playing knick-knack on my thumb,
with a knick-knack paddy wack
Give me an omnibus.
Let me read and cause no fuss.

PW - I'm on Batman: AA as of tomorrow will pass on thoughts soon.

Ok BIG Modern Warfare 2 problem, having played stupid plus hours on Special Ops I started getting black dots on the screen. No problems stopped and saved, turned it off and left until the next evening. After a little while again more dots and thicker, like black snow on the screen. Turn off, turn on. No change. So I went on the net looking to see if it's a glitch. Lo and Behold fifty thousand threads bemoaning the fact that the game, because of it's graphics requirements, overheats the card causing the snow and continued play causes an E74 (Red Rings of Death). So if you're playing MW2 on the 360 and have this problem, either you carry on playing until the screen goes entirely black and nothing can be played on the machine or you never play the expensive game again, with no refund. I'm looking into this more but it doesn't seem good, so just in case be warned.

Ugghhh. I don't even have a 360 and the epicness of the rip-off there is killing me.
 
Well, I'm waiting for Xmas! My boyfriend and I split on a PS3 for Xmas. It's wrapped and sitting under the tree, mocking us. As soon as that thing is opened we have Uncharted (the first one) and Little Big Planet to tackle. We're now multi-systeming it. WHOO!

"Lucky!" I say in my best Napoleon Dynamite impersonation. Although, we're getting a Wii, so I can no longer cry about being locked out of the next-gen festival.
 
PW I won't be getting to Batman now BECAUSE Modern Warfare 2 did in fact break my Xbox 360 as feared. Two years of no problems, two weeks of MW2 and Red Ring of Doom appears. Can't even turn it on to play DVD's. I suggest a great deal of caution if you're an Xbox 360 owner playing or thinking of playing MW2. Ironically my PS2 is exactly ten years old today and works perfectly. I may investigate getting a PS3 if Microsoft can't do anything for the 360.
 
*picks chin up off the floor*

Man, what utter crap. A great game you'll never get to finish, plus the bonus of having it annihilate your system. I would be raising some serious hell with the game manufacturer over that.
 
Having read up on the issue, Infinity Ward are pointing to the 360's architecture as the problem because the game doesn't cause this problem on 'every' console. Whereas Microsoft have always known structurally the 360 isn't great anyway, without latest gen games pushing the components to the max and beyond, but basically don't give a s**t. Right now I'm checking the warranty and have entirely disconnected the system to see if a few days cooling down will do something. I have my doubts :)
 
When it comes to RPGs and MMOs I swear by the desktop. However, I just got a PS3 about 3 weeks ago and compared to the cpu I am unfamiliar with the PS3. I however grab the usual suspects, COD (for my war game), FIFA (sport), Street Fighter (fighting) etc...

I want to get Dragon Age but I was always skeptical of RPGs and MMOs on the PS3/Xbox platform.

Please advise...

Hey dude, I have heard that Dragon Age is superior on the PC, but I played it on the PS3 and I loved it. Easily one of my all-time favorite games. I think the camera is slightly different on the console, with a more "zoomed in" view for the battles, where the PC version provides a wide angle view so you can utilize more strategy for the fights.

As for your taste in PS3 games we seem to have similar tastes. Fifa 10 is fantastic, you will love it. As for your fighting game fix, I recommend Soul Calibur 4. It is easily the best fighting game out there. Along with some of my friends, we've easily played well over 100 hours on Soul Calibur, and it is still going strong, which I cant say for other fighting games we've owned such as Virtua Fighter and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Heroes.
 
Even though we haven't beaten "The Mercenaries" in Resident Evil 5 yet we have started Bioshock!!

I already love it and I've only killed a few Big Daddies!! Im harvesting :) Ive played a good guy too much lately, those little sisters didn't stand a chance lol

Its strange how I know all the songs in the back ground, I guess I've watched too many movies set in the same time frame. (Mrs. Pettigrew, A league of their own)

This game is definately creepy and beautiful at the same time.
