What games are you playing?

Took advantage of Steam's holiday sale and picked up some games. I grabbed Plants vs Zombies and Flight Simulator. Both are easy and addictive.

Still cruising through GT5 interspersed with some good old Warhawk :D

I used to love Warhawk but the beast that is Black Ops keeps me away from it.

Is anyone else playing DC Universe Online? I've given it a few good hours during my free month, but I'll trade it in at the end as I'm not playing £9.99 a month just to play it. It's not worth it when there are games like Guild Wars free on the PC.

I posted on the DCUO wall on facebook about not paying it and got flamed... predictably so...

But Guild Wars and DCUO are different types of online game, they don't function like each other and as such there's different costs involved.

Are you playing it on the PC or PS3?

Guild Wars on the PC and DCUO on the PS3.

I agree that they are different monsters, whereas GW can involve more strategy, but DCUO is pure button-mashing. Have you tried it yet?

Wars all the way
 
Nope. My point was more that Guild Wars isn't an MMO whereas DCUO is ;)

One of my golden rules is if I'm going to buy an MMO, I never ever buy it near release unless it's an expansion (Yeah, I don't have the CE of WoW's second expansion. Nope, not me.) because the clients drop massively in price.

Lego Universe was £30 on release, I've not seen it above £15 in most places since.

Still plodding, albeit slowly, through Fallout: New Vegas. I have to be in the mood to play it though otherwise I get really, really bored. I appear to have lost ED-E, too, thanks to the Boomers. It got blown up, and I'm hoping when I go back to the Lucky 38 it'll be there waiting for me.

That was the trouble with Fallout 3 as well. It got really hard to find quests after a while. There's only so much wandering around shooting radscorpions you can do.

Not so much a case of finding quests - I'm only in Act 2 of the main quest (And even then I've barely started it), it's just a case of I have absolutely no desire to continue playing.
 
Hoo Ray - my wifey gave me Zelda - Twilight Princess for my birthday. Got to take it for a spin last night and I was having myself a good time till the birthday wishers intruded. I have not had a game for me in a long time, been all about the kids so time to be selfish.

Through megaphone STEP AWAY FROM THE MAIN QUEST! :D

I made that mistake in F3. The credits started rolling after finishing the main story line and I still had about a hundred secondary quests outstanding. Lucky I had a save point far enough back. :eek:

Wait till you meet the sexbot.:D
 
I am still chugging through New Vegas, as I have since it released. I think I am about 70 hours in so far and am still in love with the game as much now as I was when I started.

The only other thing I have really played since then is Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective on the Nintendo DS. I am about half way through or so and am loving it as well. It definitely has a lot of the Phoenix Wright charm, so whether or not you liked that series may determine if you enjoy Ghost Trick. The gameplay is completely different, but the atmosphere, writing, dialogue and characters all make it an experience worth playing.
 
Zelda is proving to be a blast! It has the right mix of puzzles, wandering around and hacking stuff up so far, for me. Cant believe how many years the game has been out, and I just heard the next installment is coming out this year, something about a sword. Anyway, will be a year of Zelda. It takes me forever to get througha game with my limited free time.
 
Well there's a coincidence; I've just today begun to dabble in the joys of the SNES emulator, and I've been nostalgia-ing myself silly all afternoon on the mighty Zelda: A Link to the Past. It's bizarre just how much of it I INSTANTLY recalled. I haven't even seen this game in a good 10-12 years - how did I immediately know where to find the secret passage into the castle? (And why isn't my memory this good about non-gaming stuff?!)

I'm going to have to get me an N64 emulator now - I NEED to experience riding out onto Hyrule field again...
 
Now playing Dead Space 2; great graphics and gameplay, and pretty bloody scary too.
 
I am playing God of War 3. It feels like I'm close to the end. I've maxed out my health, magic and items bars and I've found all 10 godly possessions. I've just got through Hera's Garden, which was the best puzzle in the game so far. I didn't own a PS2 and I haven't bought The God of War Collection for PS3 so I have the sense that I'm missing out on a feeling of epic culmination with this game. But I have found the game fun and it has been a challenge on Titan mode. The graphics are absolutely spectacular. Looking forward to seeing how Kratos' story ends. My bet is on not well. Greeks are known for their tragedies after all.
 
I picked up Just Cause 2 and it takes a bit to get use to but I am finding it a lot of fun even if it appears (so far) to be a giant sandbox game.

Just Cause 2 is one of those rare games I'll always keep on my shelf of games. It was such a fun time for me and my ps3 ;)

The gameplay, graphics, dialogue were all top-notch for me and I often peek at it above my head and get the urge to play it again.

Unfortunately, like GTA4, once I'd finished the story I lose all interest. I wish they'd release some downloadable extra games for it!
