    Seeing as it's the busy time of year for gaming, I thought it would be a good idea to start this up again :D

    The last few weeks I've been playing

    F1 2010 (PC)
    Civilization V (PC)
    Dead Rising 2 (360 and PC)
    Kirby's Seriously Epic Yarn (Wii)
    a bit of The Sims 3 (PC)
    and now Fallout New Vegas (PC) and Super Meat Boy (360)


    What about you?

    Dead Rising 2 took up a lot of my spare time recently, but now New Vegas will top that. It's an awesome game that just sucks you in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    Finished a playthrough of Fable II & i'm playing Assassins Creed II now.Playing a bit of FIFA 11 but the bugs &Glitches are very annoying.I'm getting Fable III the weekend can't wait to play that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,832 ✭✭✭✭Blatter


    Playing Abe's exoddus on my laptop..... unbelievable game, sucked into it, played 17 hours in the last 3 days...

    I'm pretty much entrenched in New Vegas right now. I'm also playing Dead Rising 2 on PS3.

    I need to hopefully get back into Darksider on PS3 and finish off Condemned on the 360.

    Although with Football Manager 2011 out next week i doubt i'll get much done.

    Last Window on the DS... sequel to Hotel Dusk.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,020 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Vanquish - just finished on normal, now onto hard :) Well done Platinum, two best games of the year.

    Rock Band 2 - catching up before RB3

    Costume Quest / Super Meat Boy - two fine downloadables.

    DQ IX - still!

    Yakuza 3 - been playing since February, nearly done!

    Also have Infinite Space to play, will hopefully keep me going through many train rides!

    For the first time in ages I've been left with nothing to play!
    I was under the impression that the Borderlands free patch was getting released last Friday, but turns out it didn't...
    Finished Castlevania last night and will return that, and returned Medal of Honor yesterday so I'm stuck waiting for my Rock Band 3 + keyboard pre order to arrive along with my next two rentals.

    /edit
    RDR Undead Nightmares queued up to download after work and RB2 on the way to me in the post


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,604 ✭✭✭Kev_ps3


    FIFA 11
    Super StreetFighter IV
    F1 2010
    MW2 online


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,572 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Finishing Enslaved (2nd playthrough on Hard) - one of my favourites of the year. Just one chapter to go.
    Playing Super Meat Boy in 15 minute bursts - any more would result in a broken controller or broken TV!

    My local xtravision didn't have Vanquish to rent, so Castlevania is next.

    Playing Bit Trip Beat, Cut The Rope (just 10 more for 3 stars on all levels) and Trainyard (genius puzzle game) on the ipod.

    PS3 and Wii are gathering dust.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,571 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    FIFA 11 is taking up the majority of my time at the moment.

    Counter Strike is getting some love as is Left 4 Dead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,439 ✭✭✭Josey Wales


    I think PES 2011 will keep me busy till Christmas.

    I would have gotten LBP2 but that has been delayed till 2011.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 954 ✭✭✭PaddyBomb


    Fallout: New Vegas (PS3)
    FIFA 11 (PS3)

    I reckon it's going to take me a good few months to get through Fallout fully. Still have to start the new DeathSpank and play through Demons Souls aswell. Wish I had more time :(

    Finished Assassins Creed 2 last week in anticipation for the new one.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    Finishing Halo Reach this week, hopefully!!!

    Then on to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, If I can get near the xbox since The Sims 3 is out and the girlfriend will be glued to it.

    Have Dead Rising 2 to play too, no interest in getting stuck into that yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 981 ✭✭✭fasty


    Fallout 3
    Mass Effect 2
    Darksiders
    Halo: Reach
    Demon's Souls

    :( So many games on the go...

    I've been playing Mass Effect 2 since January! It's very episodic and not that challenging to it's easy to dip in and out. Fallout 3 I've restarted on PC. I accidentally erased my Xbox 360 saves so I never finished it. Playing through again before I buy New Vegas.

    Demon's Souls I always play, Darksiders and Halo are both almost finished.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    I'm mainly playing Fallout New Vegas (PC) and Fable 2 (360) at the moment.

    I'm also occasionally going back to The Sims 3 (PC), Uncharted 2 (PS3), Star Wars Force Unleashed (PS3), Metro 2033 (PC), Lego Harry Potter (360) and Evil Genius (PC).

    Plus, I just got Fallout 1 and 2 for PC, so I'll be getting stuck into them again soon.

    I'm really going to have to put a limit on my gaming.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,044 ✭✭✭Wossack


    not gaming too much, but when I do, tis minecraft

    toying with picking up dead rising 2 for pc, but still unsure on the port


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,410 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Snes:

    Shin Megami Tensei (fan translation)
    Yoshi's Island

    360:

    Totaly forgot about this. Will be getting it with Fable 3 on Friday.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,410 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I've a feeling some places won't stock it so will be ringing around to see where it's available.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 10,088 Mod ✭✭✭✭marco_polo


    On PC have just finished a complete (re)playthrough of Half Life all the way from HL1 to HL2:EP2 so that took up most of my available gaming time over the last month or more.

    Since I had been sitting on Fallout 3 GOTY for about the last year of so, inspired by the release of Vegas, I have just started it this week so I am ten hours in, have absolutely nothing of note accomplished, and having a blast so far (Also added in the Bioshock 1+2 sound tracks into a custom mod radio station for when Galaxy New Radio is out of range, they actually suit the game very well, pretty much the exact same genre(s)).

    On the 360 about halfway through Dead Space, playing it at the rate of about one chapter per week. This slow pace is mainly due to timesharing issues on the 32" TV with the other half (Contention rates are much lower on the PC :)).

    spendning the bulk of my time on Dead rising 2. Must have played through it 5 or 6 times already with about another 1 or 2 to play.

    Will be getting back into Red Dead tonight once I download the new DLC

    On the shelf to be mined for achievements are

    Lego Batman
    Stranglehold
    Alan Wake
    RB6 Vegas 2

    Not to mention the games I'm currently resisting buying.

    Never enough time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,789 ✭✭✭nicklauski


    Benn playing Alan Wake, picked it up Pre owned and it has the dlc code in it not used, so will probably finish it off completely.
    Have too many games to get through, every time I pick up a new game, I forget about the rest!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,699 ✭✭✭deathrider


    Just started Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions last night. I'm also nit-picking at Darksiders, Afro Samurai, and Tomb Raider: Underworld for their last few achievements.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Finished everything in Arkham Asylum but the challenge modes. Fantastic game. They got all the best voice actors for it too.

    Other than that, playing WoW as always; I'll probably try to slip back into Mass Effect. Tried Demigod but was underwhelmed.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,083 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Fallout new vegas :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 150 ✭✭TetraxShard


    Just finished Batman: The Brave & The Bold and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions on DS. Now back to the big systems.

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is my game of choice at the moment. Have DJ Hero 2 and New Vegas to play. I don't want to think about this Friday, or at least my wallet doesn't.

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 8,601 CMod ✭✭✭✭Sierra Oscar


    I'm getting really into Fallout: New Vegas, so that's mainly all I am playing at the moment. I have been playing a bit of Medal of Honor on and off but not much . . .

    Im still occasionally playing Team Fortress 2 - I reckon I will be playing it for lol's when the Halloween update is released. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,051 ✭✭✭winston82


    MW2 online (my guilty pleasure)
    Medal of Honor
    (rental though, wouldnt recommend to buy)
    Dead Space (only played this to chapter 6 when it came out so going to give it another bash)

    Good luck with the challenge modes, some of the goals I found frustrating but the game was so enjoyable that they didn't irritate me :)

    Current list...

    PS3:
    Red Dead Redemption (to be honest, got this game just recently, so that I could play the Undead Redemption DLC, looks great)

    God of War 2 (HD Collection)

    Wii VC (Super Nintendo):
    Super Metroid (almost finished!)

    PC
    Fallout 1

    Finished Darksiders last night and worked my way to the last mission on Reach! Very (counter)productive!

    FIFA 11 - mainly with friends; not pushed on Single player at the moment
    Plants vs Zombies
    Super Meat Boy
    Super Street Fighter 4 - for limited bursts until I get annoyed with losing :(

    Meaning to play:
    Starcraft 2 - have it...but it's still sealed. It's yet another game you have to put a lot of time into to be decent unfortunately.

    🤪

    Way too much Civ 5 :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 890 ✭✭✭_Godot_


    The main handheld games I'm playing are Star Ocean Second Evolution and Chrono Triggger. On my PS2, I'm mainly playing Yakuza 2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Finished Arkham, moving on to Metro 2033 which looks like it could be alright, and i seem to be able to chew dx11.

    Started playing Natural Selection as well. Not a bad game concept at all, even with some serious issues aside from being dated as hell. Hoping Nuclear Dawn will come out soon, but it looks like Q1 2011.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,147 ✭✭✭mise


    Dipping into Super Meat Boy in betweeen Dragon Age: Origins for single player. Playing a bit of GOW2, have the third one just sitting there.. BFBC2 and Fifa 11mainly for multiplayer

    Just downloaded Pinball FX2, and planning on putting some decent hours into it.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,769 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manach


    Civilization V (PC) - still finding it not as engaging as CivIV.
    + Counter Strike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭here.from.day.1


    [All PC]
    F1 2010
    DiRt 2
    Live for Speed
    GTR Evolution
    Bad Company 2
    Modern Warefare 2

    [Android]
    Angry Birds

    :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Left 4 Dead 1 - Play it online most nights on a modded server, still funny as shìt and I prefer it over the sequel in terms of comedy and characters. (Bill is my favourite :pac:)
    Call Of Duty 4 - Just wanted to play it again leading up to Black Ops, I liked this more than MW2.
    Need For Speed World - Played this for a short while until I realised you had to PAY for things such as nitros, upgrades, etc...........fùck off outta my hard drive!!
    Amnesia - Good game, not as scary as I hoped it would be but was still enjoyable.
    Super Nintendo - Revisting the classics :D

    I'm on the fence as to whether I'll play Fallout: New Vegas or not, I didn't mind Fallout 3 but it just got so mind-numbingly boring in some parts. I'd leave it for a while, come back to play it and just get bored again. This coming from a guy who's poured 200+ hours into Oblivion :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 981 ✭✭✭fasty


    Mass Effect 2 (PC)
    Fallout 3 (PC)
    Metro 2033 (PC)
    Darksiders (360)
    Halo: Reach (360)
    Demon's Souls (PS3)
    Singularity (360)

    I finished Halo: Reach on Heroic last night. The final section... Nonsense!

    Then I started Singularity after that. It's excellent so far, like Bioshock in terms of atmosphere and style but with gunplay that doesn't feel awkward!

    I also played some Demon's Souls. One of these days, I'll be able to kill the 4-1 boss! I refuse to look up an FAQ to see how, it seems to defeat the purpose of the game!

    I'm also dipping in and out of Metro 2033. Finished it earlier in the year but trying out the ranger mode DLC.
