Just completed Portal 2 which was freaking awesome.

Was also dabbling with Fallout New Vegas but that's been put on the back burner since I discovered LA Noire.

i've been playing LA Noire pretty non-stop.

just got Portal 2 in the mail (GameFly rocks).

but speaking of Fallout, i played the living shit out of Fallout 3, i'm talking close to 100 hours. bought Fallout Vegas at launch and got about 30 minutes into it and got uninterested and haven't touched it since. i don't even have the slight interest to put it back into my box... it's weird because i loved Fallout 3

I have to say I was just the complete opposite. Although I enjoyed Fallout 3, overall I never got hooked. On the other hand New Vegas has been a real surprise for me. Some of the later missions and side missions are really quirky and weird.

I love rpg's but I think even the best one has it's moments, it's flat spots, when it isn't always so easy to keep on playing.

I'm loving La Noire right now. It's very refreshing to play a game that isn't afraid to do something truly different, and yet still manage to be so bloody good. Only picked it up yesterday so I'm still quite early into it though.

Portal 2 is sick. I won't trade that in. Definitely a keeper!

I just finished Crysis 2. I wouldn't pay full price for it, but a used one is worth it. Bulletstorm is a good renter too.

I loved Fallout 3. However, I stopped playing it after my first encounter with a mole rat. I have this huge phobia of mice and rats, so even though it's a video game it creeped me out a lot. It's been sitting there ever since. I'm not kidding at all either. I wish I were, because I really liked that game.

Anyways, what I've been playing lately is Reflex. I wish I had online. I'll upgrade to Alive whenever I get around to it. It's not exactly at my top list of priorities.

Yep, I traded in Crysis 2 to knock a little off LA Noire. I just couldn't get through Crysis 2.

I mean it look's nice but compared to the original it felt very restricted imo.

crysis 2 was bad ass, but it seemed like the good technique was to hide 1/2 mile away and take all the baddies out with a sniper rifle. some of the battles were soooo daunting and outnumbering. awesome game, but an uneven number of bad guys to deal with at times.

ps... LA Noire is awesome. i'm about 3 cases from the finish though...

Yeah and that's been worrying me a little because the game cost me the full £39.99 new, but then (unless you pre-ordered) you've got to fork out even more on the dlc cases. Obviously you haven't 'got to' but, well... I sort of feel that those cases should've been part of the main purchase. Either way it isn't cheap by any standards.

I'm really enjoying the game but the replayability is unlikely to be that good so spending more on dlc doesn't look too appealing. The flip side of course is that it's a damn good game and I don't wanna miss out.

there are quite a few cases that i've played over to try and get 5 stars on, but it seems like not only do you have to do certain things in a certain order but you have to ask certain questions in order as well.

one thing i don't like is convicting the "right" person isn't always the "right" answer

I was playing LA Noire non-stop until I beat it last week. Pretty much just Alive and MX Simulator now. Can't wait for Battlefield 3 though! Game is taking warfare to the next level.

I'm still playing some Black Ops in between the "Alive" sessions. Like redrider111, I am eagerly awaiting the release of Battlefield 3, looks like its going to be epic.

inFamous - the free download from the Store. Wow! I missed this when it came out.

Sadly I am over Alive until new content becomes available.

ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead
Company of Heroes
Brink
Reflex on PC
BFBC2

Also a bunch of mods like Mech Warrior Living Legends for Crysis is awesome.


I still mess with the Crysis Wars editor. Here is the start of a map I'm working on:

I'm now playing the Witcher 2 on PC and believe me, it's easily one of the best rpg's ever made imo. For those who haven't got a PC with the suitable hardware - you can look forward to playing this on Xbox 360 later in the year.

Going to check out Dirt 3 when the price is right. Didn't like the 2nd one as much as the 1st - so I'm hoping Dirt 3 has a more simulation type feel to it??? and is less zany than Dirt 2.

I have just completed one of my favorite truck games Monster racing. It is quiet a fascinating game with monster trucks performing some deadly stunts.

Ahh, well in that case I think I'll skip it. Couldn't really get all the way through the 2nd one.

I just traded in alive and got modern warfare 2. I am also looking to buy reflex again since alive was such a dud and reflex was the shizz.

played Alive for a while this weekend and had fun.

just sent Dirt 3 back (Gamefly) and have Just Cause 2 on the way.

Dirt 3 was way fun, but it is true about the arcade feel. the rally racing in it is fun as hell though. a friend of mine and me sat and played local splitscreen multiplayer for about 5 hours one night and had a blast. i've never had that much fun playing a split screen game

Been playing Dirt3, It's OK but I had way more fun playing Reflex or Alive except for being burned out on the same tracks.
Dirt 3 seems to have a lot of download content but I have no desire at all to purchase any. I haven't tried the online play yet either.

i've been thinking of doing another play through of RDR, awesome game.

i actually went back to my original xbox and have been playing Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic again... forgot how amazing those games were. full on RPG though.

also Oblivion takes a lot of my time, can't wait for Elder Scrolls Skyrim.

And don't get me started on Mass Effect series... LOVE it
