The "What are you playing?" topic.

Finally loaded up FEAR 2 and I'm loving it.

Did I already mention Drakensang?

Also played some ETW but Drakensang is better and more polished, even though the two aren't really comparable.

Just bought Madworld today on the Wii and wow... my heart is pumping and I was laughing the entire time...

Walked into a store and stumbled upon The Legend of Zelda Orcarina of Time and Perfect Dark. I ended up getting Zelda. Brings back some good 'ole memories

It's hard to go wrong with Zelda, especially with OoT.

As for me I'm still playing gears 2.

Recently picked up Guitar Hero: Metallica and am loving it. I also got recently Bioshock and have been running through that for the first time, and just.. wow. If you never played it I highly suggest it. I love the story.

Never can! And I'm keeping an eye out for Majora's Mask and Mario 64

I'm currently play E:TW, M2TW and modding R:TW. I'm in a Total War'ish mood. Also got Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday and Armageddon plus the complete Dawn of War pack for $30! THen proceeded to buy a shiny, new laptop and am in the process of playing my 100 or so games again with new graphics. Its very satisfying pushing all the graphics sliders to Ultra High

Finished Viking. Hard mode wasn't that difficult; if anything I found this playthrough slightly easier than my first. I breezed through areas I remember having trouble with last year.

Still got Gears of War to play. I haven't managed to convince myself to boot it up after the underwhelming first go.

I got it back when it came out (the German version that is). I even ran the wiki for it at wikia, which was a big success personally, but eventually I lost a bit of steam on it because the game was simply too linear for replay value (I replayed it 3 times mainly to fill up all wiki entries with the team). Not getting any recognition from the devs wasn't great either.

Good concept, bad implementation.

As for my currently playing, still hanging around Witcher: Versus (because its a flash game) and Red Alert 3 + Uprising (finished both, beat everything etc. Nice thing was getting Uprising for free off the competition). Played a bit of C&C3 and Generals the last few weeks too just for nostalgia, but mainly to get all achievements and beat everything under the toughest difficulties.

I'm currently wondering if Demigod is worth getting.

Getting further and further into FEAR 2 and the game is keeping me addicted. The atmosphere is tense, the AI is rather god most of the time and I find myself shooting at shadows during some of the scenes.

Thank god for Slow-mo.

I also played a bit of Guitar Hero IV last night.

I finished Diablo Sunday night. I didn't really enjoy it much at all as it is quite dated. Way too much clicking. For some odd reason, I find myself a bit anxious to start Diablo II. It seems to be a huge leap forward in the interface & features departments. Oblivion on the Xbox has been on hold for two plus weeks as my son won't let me get near his Xbox - which has led me to start thinking about getting Morrowind on the PC.

Why not Oblivion on the PC? To me, Oblivion (and Morrowind) is fairly unappealing in their retail form. With the right mods, they're both pretty good games though. Trouble is that there are no mods on the console versions....

Just bought Madworld today on the Wii and wow... my heart is pumping and I was laughing the entire time...

Did you finish MadWorld? I've been playing that on and off for a few days now and I really do like it. That sort of originality doesn't come along every day.

I recently found WiiMusic for a $20 discount, so I decided to give it a whirl- and since then, it's been taking up a big chunk of my gaming time. I'm pretty horrible at it, but the act of trying to arrange songs in different styles and playing them so that it all comes together as something that doesn't make my ears bleed, has been quite engrossing.

I'm determined to finish FEAR 2 first before I go any further with Madworld. I love the gameplay though. So simple, so brutal and so hilarious

Well, I've logged at least 130 hours on Oblivion Xbox and don't relish the thought of starting over again. Also, several people here have put in good words on Morrowind, therefore I can get an Oblivion type experience on the PC without re-hashing stuff I've already done. If I go the PC route, I guess I'll look into the mod that are out there.

Give it a try. I played Diablo II first and I found I couldn't get on with the original when I tried it. It felt very primitive and limiting.

Alternately, try Titan Quest. It's the same idea but with an ancient Greek setting, more character options and modern graphics/interface. Get the gold edition so you also get the expansion pack; it's very cheap these days.

Thanks for the recommendation froggy. I'll look into Titan Quest. The price certainly sounds right. The only reason I have and am playing Diablo/Diablo II is that I picked up the warchest for $12US on the second to last day of Circuit City's liquidation sale.
