FallOut New Vegas is seriously awesome. the best thing that Bethesda could have done, was pass the franchise back to those who are essentially the games original creators (since so many Obsidian peeps are Black Isle peeps). FNV benefits from the graphical pretty of any Bethesda game, matched with the nearly unrivalled ability to tell a compelling story that Obsidian brings, complete with companions, companion quests, convoluted side-quests that can be completely ignored, but add SO much to the game when you actually do them.

I'm playing an old game that was never released in the US. It's called Seiken Densetsu 3 (or Secret of Mana 2). It's a lot of fun so far!

Rome: Total War at present.

Lately I have gone back to playing Bioware's masterpiece, NeverWinter Nights, because my main gaming computer had the motherboard fail and I had to piece together an older Pentium 4 system with a 128MB AGP graphics display card.

This game is timeless, the community is still going strong with new mods coming out every day. This has to be one of the best computer RPG's ever made, you can play single player, multiplayer, and even persistant multiplayer worlds with Dungeon Master support. Trust me until you have tried a game with a really good DM running it, you have yet to experience the true potential of online multiplayer gaming, WoW does not hold a candle to what is possible because there are no DM's in that game.

The forums for NWN have been recently moved to Bioware's new Social site Choose Language | BioWare Social Network so the posts there have yet to build up to what they were at the old site. However if you visit the new site you will see that there is still to this day lots of activity for a game that was released in 2002 and it has gone through many enhancements and upgrades from the developer Bioware but more importantly from the NWN community of Modders.

A really great game, give it a try if you have not yet....

I am a complete sucker for racing games so still stuck on F1 2010, NFS: Hot Pursuit and the really good Gran Turismo 5.

Being the cool kid that I am, being somewhat engrossed by Pokemon Platinum of late.

How're you finding F1 2010?

I was tempted to buy it, but the pit lane bug really put me off.

I'm currently playing Mass Effect 1 (behind the times, I know). If I can get it done before Christmas, I'll have my fingers crossed for ME2 in a Steam sale! I try not to build up a backlog of games, so if I haven't finished the first one...

On a more casual note, I'm playing the flash prototype of Super Meat Boy (which is just called Meat Boy). Very hard, very fun, and very addictive.

Oops, almost forgot Counter Strike Source as well...that's been a staple for a year now!

Bought myself some goodies off of PSN these days:

-finished but still playing 'Prince of Persia - The sands of time HD'...great game that's aged really gracefully
-'Deathspank'...it has been a long time since I've smiled at a game
-'Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light'...great game to be playing co-op with my girlfriend.

It really is a great game, all I do is I change my pitstop strategy to either come in 1 lap earlier than the default or 2 or 3 laps later. I have been stuck in the lane waiting for all the other cars to pass but it has only happened 2-3 times and I have done a few hundred laps already. The controls are very responsive and you can feel the acceleration. The graphics are very good. If you like F1 this game won't dissappoint.

Thanks

Any other bugs I should know about? Feel a bit daft having not bought it on release, as planned.

The save game file can be corrupted but there is a work around, apparently it only occurs when you do an R&D track session and once finished you quit the game, then it corrupts it. In this case you just need to move from the practise session to the qualy session or I think you can quit to paddock (there are worka arounds on google from the official site) after you do R&D (R&D is for upgrades on your cars etc.). I think there is a patch to fix this. One other "bug" is that some drivers don't do a compulsory pitstop in a dry race but I have not experienced this. Wet races don't need stops. The penalties are somtimes ridiculous like a driver bumps into you but you get penalised, just drop the race rules to "Reduced". They seem to have fixed this as well apparently they set the sensitivity of pitstop lollypop man and warnings very high but we can't change certain aspects of the game. I managed to overcome these problems very easily and the game works as if I patched it (which I haven't).
