Video games...what ya playing? And what are you looking forward to? (2 Viewers)

[fasteddie_21]

So I just rented Batman: Arkum Asylum and going to check that out tonight. Wanted to pick up Infamous, but it was out

Also, Dirt 2 looks like a lot of fun.

I've been out of the scene for a few months and even though I'm trying to put in 100,000 hands (poker) a month, it still leaves a bit of time to unwind etc., so whatcha got?

turned on my 360 for the first time in several months tonight. Working on saints row 2, which I never finished.

May pick up Halo ODST tomorrow.

Looking forward to Bioshock 2.

 

[SierraKiloBravo]

Assassin's Creed 2, Blood Bowl, BioShock 2.

I'm waiting for the price drop on Batman. The ultimate Sith edition of The Force Unleashed looks good as well, as I haven't played TFU yet.

I beat TFU when it came out. It got mediocre reviews but I had a lot of fun with it. What's the deal with the new edition?

I guess it's got some more game play that acts as an alternate reality of Star Wars.

No, I don't have it. Everyone recommends it, and it's fairly cheap, and I've been looking for a new single player game to hold me over for a bit.

 

[Steady Mooobin]

I saw a combo Bioshock and Oblivion game for $39.99. Great buy if you don't have both.

Huge Bioshock fan. You can buy it used for about $20 and I think they sell the downloadable version on Live for $30.

I'm about 70% done Batman. Excellent game...even if you aren't a fan of the character.

You can still pick up Bioshock for PC from Direct 2 Drive for $5 for a limited time. I think it ends after the weekend, though so get it fast. Click here for the offer and to see what other games are $5 on the deal.

 

[SlaX]

Playing:

Halo: ODST, The Beatles: Rock Band/Rock Band 2, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, and whatever else I feel like playing.

Wow that's sweet. Thanks for the link (although I'm :sad: that I missed the first couple of weeks! RPGs!!!)I played Batman last night for about an hour...and it's pretty cool but the over-the-shoulder cam isn't for me and the "detective mode" kinda makes things too easy, but I'll give it another go later today.

Anyone playing/played Infamous?

Nope. It's a Direct 2 Drive sale, not a Bioshock sale. And I already own the game for the 360, so I didn't bite either. Well, not on that game.

Looking forward to COD:MW2 but more so for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, both on PC.

In a year, The Old Republic.

Somewhat interested in Borderlands.

Looking forward to: Brutal Legend, Fallout 3 GOTY (played the full game, just picking this up for the 5 DLC's), Borderlands, Forza 3, GTA4 Episodes of Liberty City, COD:MW2, Assassin's Creed 2, Left 4 Dead 2. Got all these games preordered.

Recently finished: Batman Arkham Asylum, Halo ODST, X-Men Origins Wolverine

How is Ultimate Alliance 2? I really enjoyed the first one.

IMO the first was better. While the new one has improved most of the graphics, and the fusions are certainly more fun, they have unfortunately removed the RPG element of the game where you were in control of what powers you had available to you. Now your skills are just given to you.My biggest complaint about it though is the local co-op multiplayer. The original set the standard for 4 player co-op. But the developers have totally ruined the co-op this time around. Only player 1 gets the achievements for beating each level. And only player 1's stats are saved. You might as well not even have local co-op if you are not going to reward the other players who join in.

However if you are going to play single player only, then I don't see why anyone wouldn't enjoy this game. The powers really do look and feel a lot better. Although I haven't used all the characters yet, I can say for certain that Torch and Iceman are complete badasses now.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Currently playing farmville on facebook, I am at level 27 with a lot of cash. I am thinking of buying more land so that I can become a master grape grower. I think the key to the game is not to spend time with trees/farm animals.

My PS3 is collecting dust

Whats your GT? We play some of the same games, I'm keyser sozed

Will buy:

Modern Warfare 2

FIFA 10

Might buy:

Bioshock 2 (I plan on buying Bioshock 1 and working my way through it)

For me, Bioshock 1 is the best game since goldeneye for n64. If you play it try and pick up as many recordings as possible. Some will mind **** you.

 

[The Gator]

Playing: bioshock...good game, but prolly wont keep it past the rental due date.

Looking forward to: FIFA 10

 

[Courtjester]

Playing Tiger Woods today. I did the Batman game for a bit, it got a little repetitive after a bit, but was fun--I wasn't invested enough in it to solve it.

I have Uncharted 2 pre-ordered for this coming up week. Will buy Modern Warfare 2 and Left for Dead 2.

I am glad they pushed back some of the titles until after Christmas

I forgot about this one. Mad Cow knows a lot of stuff about things that are Serious Business. Assuming we're all still alive and kicking with TOR drops, we ought to get a guild going.

I also envy you guys that are just getting into Oblivion now. I loved that game. Loved it. By FAR the best value I ever got out of a video game. Hands DOWN.

That's a bold statement right there. Bold.

 

[Loan Sharks]

I am currently beta testing MAG massive action game.

It is the 256 players in one battle at a time. There is no lag at all and it is pretty amazing as is and it months away from completion.

I will be playing some old titles and MAG beta until it releases, I don't want to pay for another game that will I will drop as soon as MAG comes out.

If you own a playstation and like first person shooters, MAG is a must try, just to see what it is like to be in a battle with a couple hundred players.

 

[newteech]

Infamous...anyone?

Just finished it today. Thought it was a load of fun and nothing like anything I'd played before. You get to choose between being a good guy or "infamous".Excellent storyline and graphics, fun controls. Someone mentioned in the PS3 thread it can be a bit repetitive and I agree with that to a point. New powers are always being opened up so that helps with the repetition.Definitely worth a rental. If you purchased the game it would have a ton of replay value as you could switch your moral position.
