Thread: What game are you currently playing?

Kids these days with their fancy 3D graphics.

Right now I'm playing Alex Kidd in Miracle World, an 8-bit game that was released before I was even born. It was the very first game I ever played, and is still one of my favourite games of all time.

I can't find any trailers for this game, only a commercial in Japanese. There are some walkthrough and speedrun videos though, but none of them are good. Maybe I should record something myself, in case anyone is interested.

Last week I played through the Anno 1404 campaign in about two days. I'm still playing some of the missions.

I've been playing the free version of minecraft but its so laggy

Stepmania...too much Stepmania @__@ I'm in the middle of the second Professor Layton too.

Just started a run through of Bioshock with the "Balance and Difficulty" mod. Hopefully it's actually difficult now. I'm also about to start a Doom3 run on Nightmare. Sounds hellish, but I must do it!

I got a Diablo 3 beta invite last week, and so far it's underwhelming. I assume they'll have more content when it actually releases, but the beta game can be beat in 2-3 hours solo, and maybe 45 minutes co-op. You have persistent characters and gear, but all you can do with them is play the same sparse content over and over, which gets a little ridiculous as you level up and can one-shot-kill three zeds at a time. I can't help but feel like I must be missing something, because as it stands, the game is a joke.

Currently playing Assassin's creed bloodlines.

BF 3 and Skyrim.

What's wrong with my thread?

I've been doing a lot more reading and hacking and watching than playing--last video game I played was Fruit Ninja while waiting for a sammich.

Actually, I forgot about it.

But I would think that you need to make a distinction between the 'last video game we played' (which kind of implies completion), and what games we're playing now, which seems to be the focus of these (this) threads.

Hmm, completion was not my intent in that thread, particularly given that many games do not complete, and no one seemed to take it that way. I was really just mimicking the movie thread.

K, then. My mistake.

Currently playing Phantasy Star Portable 2.

So much Osu! Does anyone else play? I'm good at taiko mode (and taiko no tatsujin games in general I guess) but pretty bad at standard and catch the beat. It would be cool to get a match going one day, maybe.

I'm currently playing Mirror's Edge. It's kind of neat, but it doesn't have the freedom I have grown accustomed to in exploration based games.

I'm still trying to find time and a partner for Portal 2 Co-op.

I'm laying Uncharted 3. When I finish my share of the online and whatnot, right back to Dark Souls.

GTA 3 on the ipod! Badass!!!

Been playing lots of Skyrim and Skyward Sword earlier. But after I stumbled on one of my own YouTube videos about Lufia II (a SNES classic), I felt like playing that again, using my own Let's Play as a guide, lol. My Lufia II Let's Play. I should probably redo the whole thing, but I also still need to finish so many newer games. So little time...

Been playing Terraria, then Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Both very good games, and both very different.

However, I just got Skyrim yesterday, and I suspect that'll be it for a while

Avatar says all.

Mw3. Trying to upgrade perks as of now.

Postal 2

I got the itch for a new RTS campaign and snagged Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 2: Retribution from Steam the other day. After playing through the space marines campaign (there are four five more factions), I'm finding more and better content than I was expecting. They figured out what Blizzard missed in the Starcraft 2 campaign: writers are cheaper than cinematics, and usually more effective. The models and landscapes have SC2 beat, too. The strategic depth was somewhat lacking compared to more serious RTS games, but you did have to pick up a bit more than just A-move after the first couple missions. I might give the next campaign a go on hard difficulty.

Currently playing Gran Turismo Portable
