What are you playing?

by **Sckitzo** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 7:09 am

Haven't seen this type of thread around, but as the title says, what are you playing? Console or PC, flash or retail, shit cell phone counts I guess. And instead of looking at this as another thread, think of it as compiling those ones that get started to mention a game we might find interesting.

Right now, I just found some free Battle Star Galactica MMO, it's decent haven't played with it much though. And a space sim city type game on steam called Light of Altair. Its pretty good, worth the $15 IMO. Was playing Homefront a lot but slowing down on it somewhat now.

XBOX 360 with Mass Effect 2.

Tower defense games on iPhone. Zombie Attack! was fun for a while. Free version reviewed here. But I spend more time with Tower Madness (iTunes linky), geoDefense Lite (Free iTunes linky), and just downloaded a new update for the very old Dungeon Defense, which has nice resurrecting skeletons playing on your side, for once... iBomber def (iTunes linky) was also fun until I played it all through.

Also, RISK never gets old. I get my fix from Lux Touch (Free iTunes linky).

If you'd rather stay in the Zombie genre, Zombie Highway is moderate fun in a novel idea for a racing/FPS game.

Disclaimer: All of them are violent, some of them bloodsplatteringly so, and I have no ties to any of them nor do I benefit from linking to them.

There's also a Wii mostly collecting dust, since we bought the Wii Fit board... and a copy of CIV IV that I won't let near my computer unless I have a few days and nights to spare...

Killing time with Black Ops until SOCOM 4 comes out.

I'm slowly shooting my way through Red Dead Redemption, and will be buying the Undead Nightmare DLC for it once I finish the main storyline. :twisted:

Just finished Dragon Age II last night . Not sure what's next .

I am on the second way Through Splinter Cell: Conviction.

I rented Medal of Honor two days ago. Generic, but still okay.

Assassins Creed: Brotherhood punctuated with some Black Ops multiplayer.

by **austin93906** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 1:43 pm

Went back to battlefield:bad company 2 multiplayer, black ops got too boring too me (happens when you get too good i guess lol), so i only get on it when someone i know is online on it.

id read some reviews of it before you buy it if i were you... campain was good, but wayyyyy too short. i beat it in around three hours. AI sucks bad. real value is in Multiplayer, however, right now, you cant even get into a match. took me 23 attempts to get into a game last time.

Very true.

Homefront is just there to keep my FPS fix sated until Battle Field 3.

I need to jump back into Dragon Age 2...

Also got a copy of Sims Medieval, and before you laugh I thought it was going to be similar to Sims 3. Which I enjoyed only to the point of cheating, then building awesome houses, my people tended to die as I just focused on the houses actually.

SM? Not so much, glad it was a borrowed copy...

I just beat DA2, and I'm on my second play through. I play settlers of catan @ games.asobrain.com. L4D2, TF2..

COD Black Ops on PS3 at the moment. I prefer console to PC games even though Im 2 months clean from my addiction to WoW. User name on the PS3 is the same as the one I use here.

by **basm** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 11:13 am

L4D series, CoD series, World of Warcraft, Battlefield series.

When/if I ever get time to play anymore, is a whole other matter.

Battlestar Galactica Online. This one's very fun. It's a lot like EVE Online. It is free to play, and it is in your browser. Pretty nice graphics to be a browser-based game, though.

I am also kind of burnt out on 'run & gun' fps's so I've been looking for something different. Portal looks really interesting. But I almost don't want to have to think that hard when I am just trying to unwind and have a beer after a long day. :lol:

Basm you still playing BSGO? If so we'll have to hook up :mrgreen:

Yeah, but not often. I have 3 toons... 2 cylon and 1 colonial that I don't play anymore because I don't want to run into somebody on that server. So I guess just really 2 cylons.

Which also sucks because I have half a million tylium sitting on that toon.

They are:
MrCoffee on Scorpia
Brutus on Aerilon

Both are puny lvl 2's. My colonial was who I was focusing my attention on but the sitch over there went tits up and I haven't been back to the game so these guys stalled at lvl 2 as a result. But if you want to hook up over there sometime, let's go. Just name a time and I'll try and be there.

by **Sckitzo** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 8:34 am

I got a Colonial named Sckitzo on Caprica. But if I make a Cylon I'll hit ya up. This isn't a game I'm going to invest tons of time into, mostly a "hmm Im bored, I'll log in and do stuff" type/

Couldn't you just switch servers to avoid that person you don't want to deal with?

I stand corrected. Once progressing, the cutscenes are getting close and the dialogue improved by ten. Not as bad as I thought.

by **Lodewijk** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 5:46 pm

Resident Evil: Outbreak. I finally picked it up.

Good way to unwind for 30 or 40 minutes.

Holy shit is the voice acting bad, though.

by **cowboyfromhel86** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 10:41 am

Crysis 2 right now... holly hell is it a good FPS its a fresh way to play too cloaking and jumping ten feet in the air lol :twisted:

by **Czechnology** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 10:49 am

BFBC2. I tried Black Ops but it was too arcade for me. I'm going nuts waiting for Red Orchestra 2 and Hawken.

by **Charlie_Kilo** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:04 am

I love bfbc2, and am anxiously waiting for bf3 coming out this fall. Currently playing crysis 2. Reminds me of halo 2 more than halo 3 did.

I haven't even looked to see if it's possible. Playing BSGO is a low priority right now. I guess if I was paying for the game I'd give it more than 2 seconds of thought. But as it is if I'm just wanting a BSG fix I pop onto MrCoffee but that's been a while even.
