What game are you playing thread

I would like to add that I am playing Parappa the Rapper for PS1 and its quite frankly amazing.

Replaying Suikoden IV.

I am playing Radiant Dawn on the Wii and I notice a little bit of red and green pixellation in the background during levelup animations and sandstorm effects. I don't know if this is just the Wii struggling with particles or whether mine has corrupt gfx memory.
Is there a common fault with Wii video memory?

I'm playing GTAIV (PS3), PGR4 for the 360, which I started playing again because I'm also playing GT5:P; I'm trying to play through Super Smash Bros. Brawl as well, but my wife keeps stealing it from me to play with the kid.

I tried playing Blazing Angels on the xBox 360, but couldn't really get into it. I don't like the controls for your aircraft.

[glandowski]

How about table top miniature gaming....?

[Commonmind]

Hit a bit of a rough patch with GTA, finding it harder to go back to it each time So now I'm stuck playing Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts again and trying (without much luck) to get into some Team Fortress 2.

As to table top minature gaming I suppose this is a thread for games as a whole, so unless anyone has a strong objection I suppose it should be all games, just seems that it's mainly computer games end up being discussed here.

In that vein what are you playing there glandowski?

But back to computer games just beaten Dawn of War Soulstorm on PC. Quite a tough fight from the final levels of all races but the Eldar final (I took it last) with the space marines.

[Joel007]

Soulstorm? Tell me more!

[Ice fyre]

Well depends what you want to know.

Some changes from the last Dawn of War game have been made. Now we have the Dark Eldar and the Sisters of Battle added as playable races. Also we have air units though not many just one per race.

I completed it on Space marines Blood Ravens chapter. I decided to use that race as I'm possibly most familliar with em after beating all previous games with them. they also dont require too much back up and are quite tough.

The Sisters of Battle and the Dark Eldar are tough opponents even on easy this will be interesting when I go to a higher level with them.

There are a massive amounts of levels but quite a frew are take and hold victories which are a bit tougher to do especially before you build a decent honour guard.

OH and I'm now working on beating it with Chaos.

Suddenly I got the urge to play Diablo 2: LoD. I've never been too good at it, but that's still one of those games I've spent a good deal of my childhood playing. This could probably be accounted to the great attention to detail Blizzard has put into and the remarkably balanced character classes.

[ktabic]

Mmm, Diablo 2. Good choice. No where did I put those disks, no dammit, I don't have enough time atm, gotta finish Forged Alliance as cybran and DoW Soulstorm before Age of Slaine, erm, Conan arrives

[Manarion]

Attempting to give Guild Wars Nightfall a run. I only hope my graphics card can pop it.

The only thing I game on is my PC and lately it has been The Witcher by CDProjectRed a Polish game developer. I have to say this game is very adult in content and not something you would ever see from a mainstream developer like say Blizzard or Bioware.

Even the censored version, that is available in North America, is way more adult in content then any other CRPG I have ever played and I have played most of them.

Anyway having said that this game is absolutely brilliant in terms of story and in how combat works. I recommend playing it through at least on the medium difficulty level because then the potions become something you have to manage much more carefully.

In The Witcher you can make some very powerful potions that give a lot of help in combat, however every potion you drink adds to the level of toxins in your blood and more then 50% toxins starts to give you negative effects in your preformance. This includes potions that heal you, even they have a some negative effect on the toxins in your blood.

There are of course ways to get rid of the toxins but that also negates the positive effects of the potions, so the drinking of potions has to be carefully planned and I found this to be very refreshing. Most CRPG's make it so that potions = God Mode and that gets borring fast.

Also the combat in The Witcher is not just a click fest you must time your clicks correctly or you will not preform the sequence of moves that you can learn. The Witcher is based on a series of novels by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, and is one of the best computer roleplaying games I have played in a while.

Having a break from Suikoden IV and dusted off Guilty Gear X2 for a bit.
