Re: What Are You Currently Playing?

Currently playing Portal 2 and it's really good so far. More lateral thinking is involved in this one with a better graphics engine and the sarcasm is way more funny than the first one. I prefer this one to Portal 1. Seems like more thing can go wrong and you actually get frustrated because there is only one exit and you need to do X Y Z and then compound them to get to A B C before you need to actually do D which is not the correct solution if you get my meaning.

Left 4 Dead 2

I really enjoy this series, I feel like I'm in a zombie movie with the atmospheric suspense and the sudden thrilling excitment by a horde of the dead attacking.

Great gunplay!

Agreed.

As for myself, after a couple of years without a games console and seeing my PC slowly lag behind the technological curve of the current crop of games, I decided it was time for a new xbox.

And with it - Halo: Reach. Suffice to say, I'm as happy as a pig in the proverbial.

I'm seeing links appearing here - so just to be clear, they're not my doing!*

My nephew introduced me to Portal 2, I love it. It's a sci-fi puzzle game that I've been waiting a long time to play, with great graphics and cool challeges, it's a dream game brought to life.

A very clever game and the robots are so sarcastic and witty, you can't help but giggle.

Never mind.

Finished it today. Halfway into the loyalty missions, the game just stopped being interesting. Hardly any more character development. Many wasted opportunities for greatness, most of all the Exile Fleet quest.

Yes, and the versus mode is a whole different beast. Knowing that intelligence and teamwork is out to get you adds a new fear to it, but on the other hand you get to take your turn at savaging the survivors in creative ways

Re: What Are You Currently Playing?

Hi, my name is Arkose and I am addicted to video games.


I have given up RPG and online gaming (be it MMO or call of duty games), but I can't let it all go cold turkey. I am currently waiting for EA sports NCAA football 2011, and luckily enough have been away from the console as I been reading more. I am almost over the hurdle!

I think this last American football game might be the last.........

Between F1 2010 and Portal 2. F1 because I just love it and Portal because I want a bit of a puzzler.

Re: What Are You Currently Playing?

I'm currently replaying Final Fantasy 7 - it feels like ages since I last played it, and wanted to go through it again in case my ancient memory card gave up the ghost!
