    Haven't had one of these for a while....

    I'm juggling Rayman Origins, Skyrim and Batman AC on the 360 and Skyward Sword on the Wii. I should pick one to throw myself into and just finish it - its too hard to split my focus across all 4. I need to do one at a time. Tough decision because they're all great...

    On handhelds, I'm still at PullBlox on the 3DS. I'm also going through some Virtual Console stuff on the 3DS (Balloon Kid, Super Mario Land 2, Super Mario Land 3), and playing Hank Hazard and Ski-On-Neon on the ipod touch....

    Can't wait for Darksiders 2, Borderlands 2, Max Payne 3, Luigis Mansion 3D and E3!

    Currently trying to beat Skyward Sword so I can get stuck back into the awesome Xenoblade but it just isn't compelling me that much.

    Im also playing Phantasy Star 2, it's grind heavy and archaic but I enjoy it.

    Also going to start Link Faces of Evil on my new CDi today.

    Other than that I've been playing through a good few NES games and so far have beaten Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Super C, Castlevania and Simon's Quest.

    Pc in gaming room/ office - BF3 most of the time, when no one sees me - mw3 for few matches.
    Downloaded dead space 2. Having a go at this, but having weird bug where I get all weapons and suits fr first shop... Will be trying to fox this amd continue!

    Xbox 360 - not turned of for months! I would like to give a go with mw3, shift 2, forza 4 as I am spending a lot of time after work in livingroom looking after little puppy :). The problem is - Xbox life.. I could not be ****ed to pay full price for it when I would play on it twice a month.. I wish I would have bought all of my games on ps3 now :(

    Ps3 - dark souls sometimes. Played it alot, but got in to places where bosses are really walking over me. :( last time controller survived an impact with a wall, I don't want to push my luck.

    3ds - "sound of wind goes across the room"

    Pc in living room - some mw3 for **** and giggles if I have time.

    Ps vita - my most played gaming device in the house! Rayman origins Is fantastic! Then lumines! And I got monster hunter freedom unite yesterday! Great game, but learning curve is like a 90 degree wall...

    Putting whatever time I get into Rayman Origins, and loving it!

    Also playing a bit of MW3 online, rarely though, just to play the brother in law.

    Looking forward to Batman 2 and maybe Uncharted 3(i wait until the prices come down to about 20:D ). Maybe Jet Set Radio on PSN too, that's one of my all time faves. Oh and gonna get a loan of BF3 soon too.

    I had decided to stop buying games until I cleared at least a little of my backlog but then I bought a 3DS with Zelda, Mario 3D, Mario Kart 7, Pilotwings and Street Fighter on Adverts for €160 before picking up Resident Evil Revelations too.

    Surprised by how good Revelations is, I'm half way through it and I think it's better than RE5 was. Really really good with a great horde mode (called Raid). Mario Kart 7 is great online but I can't find anyway to erase the old game save so pretty much everything is unlocked.

    Elsewhere I've been spending a lot of time with Grand Theft Auto IV. Currently just under 40% through it and it's really coming into it's own. I bought it at launch and played about 20% before putting it aside and dismissing it as dull - it really picks up.

    Started playing Starcraft 2 after buying it about a year ago. Just working my way through the tutorial missions and it's fun, if a little complex. It's actually the first RTS game I've played since Red Alert.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭chrislad


    Trying to replay Mass Effect 2 before Mass Effect 3, but the Cerberus Network won't play nice. Overall, not a massive amount I'm looking forward to bar FFX on the Vita.

    Have barely any time at the moment for games, except for Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey on the DS which is eating away at my commuting time. Great old-school dungeon crawler. Also a bit of Mighty Switch Force in those few minutes between a save point in SJ and the busstop.

    I impulsively picked up The Last Story at the weekend and I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying it. El Shaddai seems solid but haven't had anymore than an hour or two to give it any attention. Disgaea 4 and Bastion are two great games I keep meaning to finish, but simply cannot find the time :(

    Other games getting neglected include the sublime Spacechem, the fiendishly addicting Civ 5 (I spent around ten addicted hours over the course of two days and just cannot justify going back :P) and the overrated Skyrim. The latter two particularly I really wish I had some time and energy to devote to: soon!

    Mass Effect 3, Kid Icarus and Akai Katana are the three most anticipated games on the horizon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 242 ✭✭Lordhogo


    I am finishing Deus Ex at a crawl since while I love the game,every time I get to a damn bossfight I end up quitting for a week and switch to some XBLA games I have stocked up on.

    Whenever friends are on its almost always the Mass Effect 3 demo. I really am surprised at how much I am enjoying it as I never really have bothered with hoard modes in other games.

    Just finished/Playing:

    Ps3:
    MW3 cant get enough of survival mode and spec ops multi player is boring without friends and not as good as 64 man BF3.
    Want to get Dark souls but cant find copies any where in a bricks and mortar shop.

    Pc:
    Just finished Arkam City loved it :)
    Star Wars the force unleashed 2 very poor.
    BF3 when ever i get the chance to go a few rounds
    Crysis and warhead now that I finally have a PC that can play it on high or better loved it thought the single player was soo much better than most FPS of today. and the graphics are still top notch nearly 5 years on.
    Might try starting Mass effect 1 then 2 then in a few years 3 lol

    Looking forward to
    Prototype 2
    next Assassins creed and GTA
    Maybe the new res evil or ill hold out till 6.
    Colonial marines provided its not another DNF
    Cant think of any thing else at the moment.
