What are you Playing? (May 2011 Edition)

cherryghost

Following on from last month, what are you playing this month?

I've decided to take a step back from newer games, currently playing Persona 3 on the PSP, Pokémon Colosseum on the GC mixed in with a bit of Portal 2 and Minecraft.

Infinity engine marathon for me:

• Planescape Torment
• Baldur's Gate 2
• Icewind Dale 2

I've been watching some of the Let's Plays on youtube and they're great when you get a good commentator.

Enjoying BG2 again but you forget how slooooow it takes to accomplish anything. Took me 2 hours last night to do one simple quest. I enter an area, kill a load of bad guys, spend the next 20 minutes spec'ing out my party with the absolute best combo of weapons/spells then get another quest and same again. None of this fast-travel stuff with the infinity engine games either. Forgot that bastard sword +3 you meant to bring? cue 4 loading screens and a couple of random battles to get back to your store chest, re-spec a few chars, then forget what you were doing in the first place...

krudler

about to finish Alan Wake, one episode left (not including the dlc)
still dipping in and out of MK, will play it more when psn is back up, bored of playing the console opponents.
Started Red Dead Redemption but had to return it so picked it up again, didnt get too far into it just past the 2nd chapter so once I have Alan Wake done will start that again, fantastic game.

Korvanica

Portal 2, Crysis 2, Anno 1404...

And my regular Bad Company 2 and Fifa 11

Retr0gamer

Valkyria Chronicles 2 on the PSP which is fantastic.

Yoshi's Island for the SNES, one of the best platformers ever made.

Playing a bit of Shining Force 2 as well, still fantastic if simplistic.

Mr E

Portal 2, Mortal Kombat and Outland on the 360. I'm also half way through my first game of Mass Effect - I need to get back to that soon or I never will.

Still playing Hydroventure on the Wii.

On the DS, I'm playing Monster Tale (a metroidvania game by the guys who made Henry Hatsworth).

On my ipod, I'm playing World of Goo, Land-a Panda (new level pack due today), Across Age DX, Flick Golf and Gears.

sarumite

Red Dead on the PS3 and Beyond Ynth on the ipod. Not much time for anything else unfortuantely.

kearneybobs

Mass Effect 2 on the PC. On my third playthrough at the moment. Loving it.
Started Portal 2 on the PS3, but I wanted to have my first playthrough on the PC, but the PSN being down meant I couldnt do that.

Back to the Future episode 4

Broken Sword 2. Bought the Trilogy a month or two ago on special from GOG.com. Remember loving those games, but dont remember much about them. Enjoying slowly getting through them.

Mc Love

Football Manager 11

Firstly- Mortal Kombat. Been waiting forever for this game, and it hasn't disappointed. I reckon I'll clock up quite a few hours on this one.

CoD: Modern Warfare 2. Played through the first on recently, and thought, hell I might as well play the sequel to boot. Really enjoying the Spc Ops missions whenever I get some online time.

Mass Effect 2. Still playing this one, and still loving it.

Left 4 Dead- Always worth another play with a few mates online.

J. Marston

Yakuza 4 and my regular FIFA 11.
Bought Portal 2 today, looking forward to that.

luckyfrank

Dark Void isn't the most memorable game, but it's good harmless fun, I reckon. There are a few cool levels in it too.

sob1467

Fifa 11. In my 13th season. Unreal game.

Dcully

Multiplayer :
My usual suspects Team Fortress2,Bad Company2,Day of Defeat Source,Left 4 Dead2.

Sl!mCharles

Been playing a load of games I haven't finished (or started) over the last few years cos I haven't much money to spend on games atm and happily waiting for LA Noire.

Could never get into Bioshock when I got it preowned last year, but whipped it in for sheer lack of anything else to play. Suddenly got viciously addicted. Great game indeed. Finally I'm getting it.

Other than that -
Chrono Trigger DS
Undead Nightmare

mmm.

wnolan1992

exams at the moment so taking a two week break from games.
But once they're done, I'm playing Alan Wake, have played the first two chapters so far and it scares the sh_te outta me.
Also playing Chase the Express on my PS1 emulator, a game I loved when I was younger. Unfortunately, I could only find a German version of the game but how bad, the gameplay is still great, even if the cutscenes make no sense. :P

F1ngers

Like a few others, waiting for PSN to come back to play Portal 2 co-op and getting back into boards nights.
Tried playing Half-Life 2 (Orange Box) - but the loading every few mins pissed me off and gave up.
Picked up The Chronicles of Riddick today. Am playing through Butcher Bay first - not bad for €10.

pablomakaveli

Not a lot of change from last month.

Still hooked on Minecraft.

Still on Dragons Age 2 where im struggling to find motivation to finish what is a disappointingly boring game.

I'm about half way through Pokemon Fire Red.

I'm also after reinstalling Total War Medieval 2 with a mod that Allows me to play as Ireland in the Grand Campaign. I've kicked the English out of Ireland and sent an army to north america but eventually got kicked out of Cuba by the Aztecs.

ShadowHearth

Pc: started playing wow now and then, but very very little doses.

Xbox: bc2/Vietnam - play damn alot of it. Specially if atleast one of the lads comes online.

Bioshock 1 - going on hard, doing achievements. Still same old good bioshock.

Shift 2 - some great driving and warrioring for seconds in events against lads. I love autolog

Carry on with it, still easily the best fps I've ever played, the first few hours are slow but once really you get into it (roughly Ravenholm onwards) its simply epic.


Currently playing Portal 2 and bought Borderlands(on advise from this forum) earlier so got plenty to keep me occupied

Potential-Monke

MW2, still trying for that 10th prestige, just about to enter the 8th!!!

Started Uncharted 2 again during the week, and MK is still getting a play, waiting for psn like everyone else.

Awaiting LA Noire with extreme eagerness! But i've a serious amount of work that week so probably won't be able to play it until the Monday...

Asmodean

Have a few on the go right now but im really after getting into red faction guerilla. Itll tide me over til la noire

Dungeon Hunter Alliance (PS3) - Almost finished the single player as I wait for PSN to come back

Red Dead Redemption (PS3) - just started this. Am glad the dialogue is more mature than GTAIV, all that gangsta speak gets very tiresome (if you're not 13)

Football Manager 2011 (PC) - Finished my first season, as addictive as ever

Will probably start something on the DS soon (maybe Infinite Space) as I'm running out of books to keep me entertained on the bus

There's not all that much 'gangsta speak' in GTA 4 dawg

johnny_ultimate

PS3:

Portal 2 - same story, waiting for co-op partners in crime! Best singleplayer game in quite some time!
Just Cause 2 - for ****s and giggles. Good fun.

360:
Death Smiles / Mushimesama Futari / Trouble Witches Neo! / Nin2Jump - my shooter / Cave playlist of the moment!

MegaDrive:
Playing through a number of games in this. Got an original Japanese copy of MUSHA for a ludicrous price yesterday, delighted Also working through Earthworm Jim, Terminator 2 (compellingly dreadful) and a few others.

Wii / N64:
Majoras Mask - long neglected, finally getting into it! An eccentric but brilliant Zelda game.

Such an odd odd game. I loved back in the day. My brother sold the N64 with loads of games and 4 controllers a few years back without telling anyone. Pissed me off to no end, but got me wanting to play it again.
I ALMOST bought it on the VC but then realised, what the hell was I thinking, so I bought the limited collector's edition disc that came with a preorder of Windwaker about a year ago and it's been sitting on my desk ever since. Already had Windwaker, but I didn't have the preorder disc. Might have to try it out again.

Duggy747

Played through Crysis 2 again and enjoying it again. Not as good as first time round but still a good game.

Portal 2 - Excellent singleplayer, have to play co-op yet.

Deus Ex - Haven't touched it in about 2 weeks, need to finish it. What a classic game.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Old L4D1 server I played on got shut down at the start of May, set one up myself to pick up the stranded community so it takes up a fair chunk of my gaming time.

Duke Nukem 3D - Playing the High-Res again to gear myself up for next month's release.............or whenever the hell they finally shovel it out :pac:

Got an itch for racing so I might slap on Dirt 2 again and I'm going to get Metro 2033 after I played the 1st 30 minutes of it on OnLive.

Suppose, it's just all the juvenile inneundos, "cool" swearing and posturing drove me up the wall.

rickyjb

Got Assassins Creed 2 on the cheap so I'm currently working through that along with the odd bit of GT5 and I have one level of Demon's Souls left to finish...

Got Angry Birds for my phone, it's addictive as f**k!!

djkeogh

Spending Bulk of my time at the moment playing through Darksiders. On the grind for achievements now before tackling the final boss.

Crysis 2 is in there as well but mainly for multiplayer at the moment.

Fight Night Champion has me back and forth to it since release but feeling a burn out on it now having sunk some serious hours into it.

Pinball Fx 2 is never far from the top of my playlist and with a new table coming out each month for the foreseeable it will be there for a while to come. Great game

Ilo Milo is getting a run through and I have the 1st Deathspank game on my list to play as well.

colm21

completed Crysis 2 last week have started playing Dead Space 2 already on chapter 10. I also have been playing Black Ops a lot, I downloaded the new Escalation Map pack yesterday new maps are really good. I am going to buy Portal 2, LA Noire, Brink and Mortol Combat 2011. :D:D

Still playing WoW, Dead Frontier and sprinkling it with casual matches of StreetFighter 4.

ie. Same as I've been playing since last year :P

I was prety much same when I played wow. 2-3 years just same wow with just little bit of ather flair mixed in now and then.

I quoted wow, and I discovered that I am gamer... I am taking all my backlog and can not believe I had so many great games and newer touched them...

Josey Wales

I'm currently playing Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat on PS3.

I'm putting more time into Portal 2 because I'm waiting on the PSN to come back for some Mortal Kombat online multiplayer. I'm also playing some PES 2011 to finally get the Platinum.
