Okay, I swore to myself over a year ago that I would never play Dota outside of LAN parties again. Sadly, I seem to be addicted to the game again. I was just going to play some use map setting games on B.net this morning, but then got into 1 game of dota.
12 hours and 9 dota games later, i got the dota urge back

I am currently playing Midnight Club Los Angeles.
For £18 it was a bargain. Great fun.
Also I got NBA 2K7 as a trade in for an unwanted Christmas present. Surprisingly fun.

Play Auditorium has to be one of the most innovative online games I have seen in a long time.
The Fable II DLC is out. It took a bit over 3 hours for me to complete it, which only an hour of that time spent on the knothole island quest. The remainder was spent hunting items so I could trade them at the gift box hut. Locating certain items proved stupidly difficult in a high-level game world. There was only one place still selling puny carrots in the entire world, because everywhere was too upmarket to sell junky goods. And as for that purple dye ...!
Whether it's worth buying or not depends on how you feel about weight loss potions, lots of new clothes and weapons, 3 achievements, a dig spot every ten paces, and a quest which involves more flip switch bashing than the entire original game. I'd be more favourable if most of those 3 hours had been spent on a quest instead of tedious item hunting, and if there had been less of the flip switch massacre. It made the trio of brief dungeons very samey.
I neglected to mention that I had started Crackdown on the 360. Finished it this morning, which is a matter of some slight relief. Jumping 25 feet, scaling buildings and running around rooftops with a rocket launcher is delightfully daft fun. For a few hours. After that it begins to get old. Quite a brief game if you aren't into doing every last (highly annoying) race and finding every last one of the 800 orbs.
Next will be ... not sure. Still working on Neverwinter Nights 2. Apart from that I am torn between 'stupidly hard not my usual thing and I'm probably going to regret it' in the form of Ninja Gaiden 2 or Devil May Cry 4, or another playthrough of Mass Effect, giving my PS3 something to do with Persona 3 FES, or finally playing that copy of Kingdom Hearts 2 I picked up yonks ago. Or I might play something else. Nothing stands out from the pile of boxes.

Yeah the dlc was a bit disapointing on the quest side (it was quite short IMO and there wern't even new enemies or some evil boss fight at the end), the items were nice though.
I`m currently playing Shogun Total War. I`m running an expert campaign as the Oda, pretty tough going so far.

I havn`t played Shogun for years but got the urge again in december.
