What video games are you currently playing?

World of Warcraft is the only game I've been playing on the PC consistently lately. This whole having a console that actually plays decent FPS games has kinda drawn my attention away from PC gaming.

 

I have gradually divested myself from PC gaming. I was playing Civ V but found it too addictive, so I toasted it. I had WoW installed on my machine, but I haven't been able to get back into it, so I uninstalled it to stop myself from subscribing for a month and not actually playing it. Age of Conan is gone as well. Lord of the Rings Online stopped working because of Vista security issues (I tried everything), so that's gone. I have a few of the Total War games, but didn't get very much into them yet.

I basically removed all my PC games. I find that if I have them, I play them and do little else.

I have a PS3 and a backlog of games that includes Skyrim (current), Batman: Arkham City (current), Assassin's Creed I and II, inFAMOUS, and God of War II (current, and I want III).

On my "want" list is the Uncharted series, Red Dead Redemption, Dark Souls and/or Demon's Souls (I get them mixed up), Dragon's Dogma, and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

The issue is that I haven't gotten into the habit of playing the console regularly. I'm not really gaming at the moment for a couple of reasons, but I expect that to change soon. The machine is on a shared TV, so that limits my game time, which is probably good. The thing is, I tend to want to play when the TV is already in use. I need to start playing in "off hours." Midday on weekends are prime time for a few reasons. I should try that at least.

Anyway, so many games, so little time. I wish I was born twenty years later than I was.

 

I have Red Dead Redemption and Uncharted 1 and 2. I need to finish Red Dead myself before I'll be ready to loan it out, but once I'm done we can probably work something out in re: a trade.

 

Coolness. I have Mirror's Edge, which I highly recommend. Though it's not for you if you get disoriented in 3D first-person environments. It gets pretty crazy. It's one of the best games I've played though.

 

Actually, this is me as well. I normally lose interest in games. With Mirror's Edge, I just had to know how it ended.

They keep flirting with the idea of a sequel. They need a sequel. And a movie. Lucy Liu as Faith. Laurence Fishburne as Merc. Boom. Done!

The physics remind me a lot of Batman: Arkham City. Have you not played that?

I have Mirror's Edge on PC and am pleased with it. I do not have Infamous, Assassin's Creed or God of War. I'm quite sure we can work out something that's mutually beneficial.

 

Infamous was a download, unforch.

The God of War is technically I & II on one disc, so you'd get a lot of game out of that.

I keep telling myself that I'm going to start Assassin's Creed "soon," as in "as soon as I'm done Skyrim," but who am I fooling? I still have so much Skyrim ahead of me it's not funny. I've played the intro to Assassin's Creed to see what it's like, but I didn't want both games going simultaneously as they are somewhat similar in category (fantasyish).

Uncharted, on the other hand, I wouldn't mind playing simultaneously. I have much less stamina for shooting games, so I an only play so much in a session anyway. Mirror's Edge was like that. I played that and finished it while having Skyrim on the go.

So basically I'm saying pick which game you want, as long as its not keepsies.

 

Oh, it's totally a high priority. I've seen what the third one is like, and it looks like it keeps getting better.

It's really too many games! It's like a logjam, and I haven't played very much in months. It's my own damn fault. Like I said above, I just need to make more time on the weekends. I tend to zone out and have a lot of down time where I don't really do anything productive. I could be gaming during these times.

 

It's basically parkour meets Tomb Raider/Prince of Persia-type climbing meets The Matrix, where you spend a lot of the game trying to get away from people shooting at you.

It's an adrenaline rush.
