Was playing Mass Effect 3 until my X-Box RROD'd.

Mass Effect is the reason I got an X-Box and this happens to me. Grrr.

Cayal - get a PS3, best decision I ever made. My Xbox RROD as well for no reason and I had one of the updated MS versions. PS3 just works and you can play ME on it now.

I am playing the seasonal events on GT5 and loving it.

I've had a PS3 for a lot longer than my X-Box, I only really got a 360 for Mass Effect (before 2 and 3 went to PS3) and Gears of War. I continued to get Mass Effect for it because I had my saves on it.

I am trying to fix the 360 but I doubt I'll be successful. My PS3 died earlier this year as well but I got a replacement for that.

Both were out of warranty so I got good years from both of them, though my 360 was played a lot less.

Diablo 3 beta

Gone back to playing the classic Homeworld

[Cayal]

Assassins Creed 2.

Going through my backlog now.

I'm stuck on Alan Wake for 360 which I love for it's Twin Peaks-ery; I've run out of flashlight batteries and bullets with which to kill the Taken so I've put it down for a few months as I can't face the tedium of redoing the previous level.

In any case I'm more a PS3 fan and have been unable to put down the new next gen SSX which is just phenomenally good.

Hi,

For me it's been Skyrim and Fable III on the xbox, and I've been going back to some of my older games on the PC, Temple of Elemental Evil, Civ III and Master of Orion II.

It's really biting into my sleeping time!

Cheers, Greg.

Steadily battling through Neverwinter Nights. I've never really 'got into it' until now, although a seemingly impossible dragon has slowed progress down for the last couple of days!

Hi,

Love Neverwinter - which one? One or Two? And which expansion pack? I think there's six in total. The dragons though, haven't been so tough, as long as you're levelled up enough when you face them - I have been known to level up my characters using some of the in game levellers before facing some critters.

The worst though for me, was the bloated red dire spider in the crypts under the old section of Neverwinter one. That was a sod as you can end up facing it at level three, and you can die a lot. You really wanted to be level five.

Cheers, Greg.

There's a Neverwinter free-to-play MMO coming out at the end of this year, but I unfortunately don't know anything about it. The developer behind it hasn't had a ton of success - City of Heroes, Star Trek MMO, Champions Online. However, they do plan to have a content-creation tool so players can make their own dungeons/campaigns. It will be interesting to see what comes of it.

Personally I'm fiddling with some Diablo 2 and Path of Exile just scratching the itch until Diablo 3 releases in a week, and I become a total recluse for the foreseeable future.

Neverwinter Nights One. I completed Two, and the first of its expansions, a few years back, great game. I've never got too far into One though before now; certainly never into dragon territory before! My character's leveled enough, I think, it's just an incredibly tough fight!

I recently played through all the Final Fantasy 7 games I own (Original, Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core) then played FFXIII again when the sequel came out and have just completed XIII-2 which was brilliant Time Travel is a favoured subject of mine, it is fascinating and this game is full of it

Not bought a Final Fantasy since XII. Heard that 13 was pretty linear.

With competition from Elder Scrolls and Dragon Age, as well as things like Kingdoms of Amalur and Two Worlds II, I can't see the appeal of a linear RPG, unless it has many optional sidequests as well as a linear main quest and great acting/plot.

Been playing Skyrim for a while, but after some contemplation just ordered Dragon's Dogma. The game generally looks promising but I do loathe on-disc DLC. It'll be interesting to see if it's as challenging as has been widely reported.

I have to agree, 13 was quite linear compared to the ones that came before it, but the sequel to it, though it does have elements of being linear, was actually very good. The whole Time Travelling aspect of it and the way they managed the plot and what needs to be done was brilliant in my opinion. Doesn't beat Skyrim, but it is still a good game
