What are you playing?

I'm playing Company of Heroes again. Still the most fun RTS around, imo.
1st time i played that i though it was awful... but it's pretty good once you learn how to play it... i actually bought CoH and OF on Steam recently for cheap. Havenm't played it again though.
 
playing exclusively football manager 2010 right now. I want one last good career before switching to 2011.

Also, CIV V is coming out next week. bye bye life

Good luck with that FUCKING GNOME! *rage, rage, rage*

(I assume you also mean its episodes. :p)
I've already got all my Episode 2 achievements. I actually enjoyed the gnome travel (except for the helicopter chase down the railroad tracks). I found the grub achievement to be far more frustrating.
 
Replaying through Mass Effect as a renegade biotic male Shepard. Not enjoying it as much, probably because I'm squishier as a biotic and because I would never normally use renegade options.

Looking forward to getting to ME2 though. I wonder what a more renegade option - cheating on Ashley with Tali in ME2 (because they're BOTH my teammates right now and Ashley generally doesn't like aliens), OR cheating on her with Miranda (ironic because Ashley's pretty xenophobic and Miranda is a genetically perfect woman).

Should I be psychologically evil or ironically evil!? WHO KNOWS!?
 
I've been playing Star Wars Battlefront II (Just working on getting all my skills to Legendary right now) and Minecraft (started a new world where my spawn point is on a desert island. I have cultivated the island and have trees and a farm with no worries of animals or monsters. The mine itself has been very productive, with lots and lots of Iron and a good amount of Diamond).
 
Dead Rising 2.

What Nick said really. Even though it's basically just more of the same with some minor improvements, it's just so much fun.
 
Picked up TF2 last week. Not as fun as I had hoped (Things seem to move too fast for me to keep up with, can't get a shot off before I'm dead, etc). Somewhat disapointed. Still puttering with Minecraft. Still working on Legendary status on SWBF2 (need the rocket launcher and the engeneer hacking thing and I'll be done).

I am currently playing FF14 (my wife got me the collection edition) It is not bad. NOT newbie friendly IMO. It is pretty fun once you know what you are doing. The downside is that you have to pay for EACH character PER server. Each character is 3$ a month + 9.99 a month for service. This does not mean 1 character PER server. It is 1 character period. So if you want to make 1 character on Besaid (that is where I am) and another character on another server that will cost you 15.99 total a month.

The major plus side is that you can be ALL classes, but it will take a lot of playing to max it all.
The downside is that there is no bank :( there is a SINGLE retainer (for now) that it can store/buy/sell stuff for you (NPC you control)

I am also playing LOTRO with my RL friends :) we are on Brandywine cause my wife made our characters there before it went free.
 
I'm replaying Portal, this time with developer commentary. After that I'll either start Mafia 2 or Half-Life 2.
 
I barely have time to blink with work, so I'm down to filling those precious few seconds with Angry Birds, Flick Kick Football, and Paper Toss on my HTC Evo.

I'm playing Shattered Memories again, what with my first ever PSP crash and a basic misunderstanding of what it took to save the game. I had just started the last level, and I'm back to the high school. Ouch.

Wow, if that game didn't already seem like a pile of shit. Squenix must be trying to gouge what they can before people abandon this thing when Cataclysm comes out.


We got the PS3 version of Bioshock, since my comp can't run the $5 one I got off Steam anymore. Aside from aiming, I think the controls are much more intuitive, and even then, it ran somewhat choppy on my comp, so really the aiming is better anyway. I'm not far yet, just to Neptune's Bounty. I still hold the opening sequence (from crash to the Bathysphere's emergence) to be one of the greatest openings in video games.

Cheating on her with Jack is the most evil, I think. Or at least the most badass.
 
Just picked up FIFA 11 and MoH.
Enjoying both actually and im picking up New Vegas Tuesday.
Im looking forward to a few things but nothing that I want to purchase right off the bat.

Ok back to that rock that I crawled out from under.
 
Playing through Bioshock again, this time on the PS3, and aside from aiming, I like the controls better than on the keyboard.

I realize now the usefulness and awesomeness of the research camera--I barely used it in my first run, and now I'm gaining all these additional powers.

Also, I just realized that Andrew Ryan is Walt Disney.
 
Since Fallout: New Vegas has had a troubling start, I've decided the only logical choice is to play through Dragon Age again. DLC, here I come!

Batman: The Animated Series did that comparison a long time ago... oddly enough, they guy they had ALSO built a city under the sea. He also ended up having Mr. Freeze perform the same process that changed Freeze into the cold blooded freak on him to make him immortal as well.

Playing Jagged Alliance 2 (1.13 mod). Honestly, after I play this game it really hits me how few games made since then ('99) are actually better. The answer? None.
 
Just bought Dead Rising 2 for PS3 on the recommendations from here. Hoping it's good, I need some carnage to take my mind off of the day.
 
Started playing Bioshock, for the first time, thanks to the recent Steam sale.

The last time I was so sucked in by an immersive, atmospheric setting was Half Life 2. Excellent stuff, this.

Serious Sam HD - The First Encounter. I never played it when it originally came out. I meant too, but never got around to it.

While the doom style action is refreshingly simple, the constant barrage of non-stop enemies does get a bit monotonous in the later levels.

But still, you gotta love a game that allows you to fire cannon balls from a giant handheld old-timey cannon.
 
What am I playing? Right now, nothing. Major computer upheaval has me laid low, but I should be back on track within the next few weeks and then I can get back to Minecraft and Age of Mythology (finally got it to round out my AoE collection).

Bioshock 2 is really letting my creativity go wild, though at this point (even though it's horribly inefficient due to no loot) I've resorted to my Bioshock style of FREEZE then SHATTER, though with a rushing drill bit.... it is MUCH more fun. >:D
