What are you playing right now?

[Pete for President]

Juggling Vagrant Story, FFX, Dark Souls 2 and Child of Light.

[Ayen]

Hatsun Miku Project DIVA F.

Rhythm games are hard as smurf.

[Pumpkin]

I'm playing FFVIII, a fashion game, and Chrono Trigger are the main ones. I've also got Spyro and Thrillville and a few others on the side

[Shauna]

Just started up Atelier Iris 3. It's not as good as the others so far, but it is still enjoyable.

[Depression Moon]

I'm playing Sailor Moon Another Story right now and it's addicting.

[Miss Mae]

Started playing Child of Light. I also have FFXII still going, but that requires me to get up off my computer and go into the other room.

[Bolivar]

I finished Stealth Inc./Stealth Bastard and the main island in PixelJunk Monsters. Will probably continue with the bonus islands in the latter. I also tried out Velocity Ultra on Vita, seems like a really cool game!

Also been playing the new maps in Ghosts. They're pretty fun but I don't know if they're as good as the first pack.

[Ayen]

Final Fantasy IX :cool:

[Casey]

It was FF10 HD remastered but I haven't played it in weeks. :tumble:

Also gave up playing games like COD Ghosts online because it isn't fun anymore. Actually gave up playing videogames for the time being am waiting for Dragon Age 3. :D

[Shoeberto]

I picked up FTL again, since originally I only played it for ~30 minutes. I really like it. It's a good pick up/put down game.

Still on ME3 when I have time. I'm kinda ready for it to be over. The whole part on Tuchanka was a good piece of morally ambiguous storytelling, though.

[41-Inches-Wide]

Just picked up Bravely Default on 3DS a week ago :D I'm pretty awesome

[Bolivar]

Booted up Morrowind, messing around early in the Bloodmoon expansion. Having trouble finding quests, I guess I gotta wait for the town at Raven Rock to progress a bit.

Also playing Civilization IV Warlords expansion, the Chinese Unification scenario.

[Shorty]

Saints Row the Third! :jess:

[Mirage]

FFX-2 HD on my triple

[Bolivar]

I finished Infamous Second Son this weekend! It was a great ride, will likely try to complete and play on evil soon.

[Loony BoB]

The Sims 3. Dammit, Psy!

[Madame Adequate]

Booted up Morrowind, messing around early in the Bloodmoon expansion. Having trouble finding quests, I guess I gotta wait for the town at Raven Rock to progress a bit.

Also playing Civilization IV Warlords expansion, the Chinese Unification scenario.

The start of Bloodmoon isn't the best-paced part of the game and it can be tricky to tease out the questline at first, yeah. Just go between Raven Rock and Fort Frostmoth, you should find the quests to get things going there.

As an aside that is my favorite scenario in the entire Civ franchise. :jess:

As for what I'm currently playing:

Civ IV
Space Engineers
Crusader Kings 2
State of Decay
SimCity 4
FreeSpace 2

[Bolivar]

Man it would be great if we could get a really huge EoFF Civ IV game one day. Not sure how the multiplayer is on that front, if it's excruciatingly slow or not but it would be cool to check it out.

I've been playing Modnation Racers Road Trip and Unit 13 for Vita on my morning commutes. The former looks and plays gorgeously on the Vita's OLED screen and brings some nice innovations to the kart racer formula. The latter is kind of like a PS2.5 game, I doubt it could really stand on its own as a console shooter but it's nonetheless fun for bite sized missions on the go.

I also tried FIFA 14 on PS4 over drinks and hookah at a friend's place last night. Might only be the second or third time trying the series but it was a lot of fun for couch competition, lots of yelling and laughing. Looks pretty good on PS4 too.

[metagloria]

Got sucked into Skyrim again. Magic-only, no weapons.

[Dat Matt]

Mario kart 8 is out today!!

*foaming at the mouth*

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I've been playing Tomb Raider: Legend. It's quite fun :aimsun:

[Ayen]

Just got started on Secret of Evermore.

[Bubba]

Pokemon X with the missus
God of War Collection - PS3
Jak and Daxter Trilogy - Vita
Final Fantasy VII
Tomb Raider - PS3

I can't settle on anything at the minute.

Also still trying to beat Endless' record in this months Super Mario Kart challenge. I can't get any closer!

[leader of mortals]

Final Fantasy X HD, just finished basically everything, now I need to grind levels so I can get strong enough to grind spheres to grind more levels to kill the creations.

FTL, I'll play a run now and then, same for Binding of Isaac.

League of Legends, I've been playing a bit more of this game again. I played a lot last summer, and haven't played quite as much in the new season.

[Bolivar]

Needed something relaxing to play on the commute today so I got into some Pixeljunk Shooter on Vita. Excited to upload my save and see what how the game looks on PS4.

[Gamblet]

I started playing Path of Exile again. I really love how the game is after the beta, a lot more content.

[Ayen]

Super Mario RPG :cool:

[Slothy]

Super Mario RPG :cool:

Sweet.

[Vermachtnis]

Since my desktop exploded and I can't play Final Fantasy XIV at the moment, I've been playing Rune Factory 4. I'm only halfway through Spring 1, so I'm not that far. I think I'm going after Forte, cause she's the coolest out of the girls. Also, she voiced by Erin Fitzgerald who was Alkaid and Chie so there's that.

[Pumpkin]

too many games

[BustaMo]

I've been playing Titanfall for the Xbox One. It came along with my system as a download and I've liked it so far. I can't play it non-stop otherwise the game loses appeal FAST! I'm basically going for mainly the Achievements at this point before I move onto the next game for purchase.

[Mahad]

Dissidia Duodecim.

[Bolivar]

I played the Destiny PS4 alpha a few days ago. The game is gorgeous but doesn't stand out too much for me. It almost like a Sci Fi Elder Scrolls game with a huge open world and little missions and dungeons for you to tackle at your leisure. I wasn't sold on the bit of multiplayer I tried, too much like Halo with the maps too big to funnel you towards the action. I suppose if you're playing with 5 teammates who really communicate it can be intense, though.

I finished Velocity Ultra on Vita and moved on Terraria, which released for free on PS+ yesterday. Time absolutely flies by playing this game, I can see getting really addicted to this one.

[Ayen]

The Last of Us.

This game is smurfing exhausting.

[Yellow_Magic]

A couple of days ago the unofficial Ace Attorney Investigations 2 translation time released a full beta English patch, so I've been playing this shiz of out of the game lately. Gripping stuff from the beginning, and hilarious too, as always

[Gamblet]

Tales of Destiny - I quit for some reason at the final dungeon on my first playthrough. Now I am trying to finish it from start, the voice acting is hilarious. :lol:

[Ayen]

Infamous. Can't say I'm enjoying it, though. Maybe that will change as I play more.

[Vermachtnis]

Xenoblade

I've been calling Reyn, Gavin, mostly because of the accent. But then he went pushed a button and now he's officially Gavin. I just entered Prison Island and my team is me controlling Melia with Shulk and Reyn running interference.

[TrollHunter]

Bravely Default
LoZ OoT 3D
Bayonetta
Metal Gear Rising
God Hand

All of these games are absolutely amazing. I don't need to say anything else.

Xenoblade

I've been calling Reyn, Gavin, mostly because of the accent. But then he went pushed a button and now he's officially Gavin. I just entered Prison Island and my team is me controlling Melia with Shulk and Reyn running interference.

I'm playing this now too!

I'm not as far, though. I just got to that woods place on the back. I've seen Melia (outside of the game) and I've been interested to see what her character is like! I usually like mage characters.

Also playing Tales of Xillia

[Bolivar]

My current commuter rotation has been Killzone Mercenary, Hot Shots Tennis, Luftrausers and Child of Light. I got the first two on a PSN sale for cheap; can't believe how amazing Killzone looks and plays on the Vita, very close to the PS3 games. Also Child of Light really grew on me. At first it's awesome then I started to doubt if the game mechanics were just fluff but the difficulty came back around and I think it's a really awesome JRPG system. I like using the touch screen for the firefly guy and the artwork is just stunning on the Vita OLED screen.

The Dota 2 International 4 starts this weekend so I'll probably be on Steam watching that and hopping into games.

[Pheesh]

Final Fantasy X HD for my PSVita.

[Mirage]

Gran Turismo 6

[Depression Moon]

Yoshi's Island and Majora's Mask

[Ayen]

Infamous 2.

[Wolf Kanno]

I've been in a serious retro mood, so I have mostly been playing classic Mega Man and Castlevania lately.

[Vermachtnis]

I'm playing this now too!

Also playing Tales of Xillia

Whoops, didn't mean to ignore you for a week xD. You're probably passed me now, I kind of got distracted by Wind Waker HD. Anywho, Melia is really fun to play as. One thing that probably took me too long to figure out is: ALWAYS have Summon Bolt up for Ether. I thought having Summon Aqua up for Regen would be good, but it doesn't heal that much and if the enemies die before they can do enough damage then healing isn't really necessary.

[Pumpkin]

I haven't played much since. Just got to the Nopon village :D

[Ayen]

Just finished episode one of The Walking Dead.
*sees preview for episode two*
This is going to be fun[/sarcasm]

[Quindiana Jones]

Gonna have a nice Sleeping Dogs session today. I have a hankering for some undercover beat downs.

[-M-]

The only games I play at all now and for the last year or so are Guild Wars 2 and League of Legends. I don't have a console where I'm living now and buying one is kind of out of the question. I also found myself getting bored really quickly when I tried playing on the PS3 last year.

[Noire]

My two main games right now are Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn on PS3 (which I've been trying to finish since it launched over a month ago now...65 hours and I've still got 12% of the cards to get; it's taking bloody forever!) and Mind = Zero on Vita (which I bought and started the other day...I've done more listening than anything else thus far; Leo is already getting on my nerves) although I also have files on Borderlands 2, Atelier Rorona Plus, Final Fantasy II, Pokemon Y and Tales of Xillia I'm playing infrequently in between. So much to do, so little time before a new wave of games hits in mid-August for me...

[escobert]

Civ V, DayZ StandAlone and Arma3 Altis Life

[Loony BoB]

Just finished Dreamfall. I'm in that weird place where I'm not entirely certain what to play. FFXIV is there, but I lack the drive at this moment to really slam into it. I need something else. I'm considering Football Manager and Dwarf Fortress, but both will take up just as much (if not more) time as FFXIV would. All the other games just aren't interesting me enough.

First world problems. :(

[Bolivar]

Just finished Child of Light - loved it!

[radicaledward124]

Beyond Two Souls for me.

[Ayen]

I finished The Walking Dead and the bonus episode 400 Days. I'm mainly replaying it to see all the different choices now.

[MissH]

Bubba and I have had a bit of a gaming day today! A couple of hours of Final fantasy VII, followed by a bit of Infamous son. Think we're gonna break for food now but might play a bit of Lego:The hobbit later!

[Pumpkin]

Tried the Last Story and turned it off very quickly, now still playing Xenoblade and Tales of Xillia, but also just started Fire Emblem: Awakening

[Wolf Kanno]

Mega Man X Collection which is X1-6. Beaten the first two games, currently working on X3.

[Bolivar]

Knocking out Vita games - just finished Killzone Mercenary. Will continue Hot Shots Tennis then decide what my next rotation will be.

[metagloria]

Just beat Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. And since there's no postgame content that's not accessible in the main game, and I completed every quest in the main game...I guess that's it. On to Majora's Mask, I suppose...

[Quindiana Jones]

I've now almost completed Sleeping Dogs. Oh Lord... xD

[Bubba]

Bubba and I have had a bit of a gaming day today! A couple of hours of Final Fantasy VII, followed by a bit of Infamous: Second Son. Think we're gonna break for food now but might play a bit of Lego: Lord of the Rings later!

Fixed! :D

[Quindiana Jones]

That's adorable. :jess:

[Mo-Nercy]

Advance Wars! I had forgotten how much I love this game and how awesome Sami is.

[Nice]

Pokemon Y and The Walking Dead Season 2.

[Ayen]

The Walking Dead Season 2.

Lucky. I'm replying Season 1 now because I accidentally saved over the file I'd want to use for Season 2.

[Depression Moon]

Tomb Raider right now. I see why y'all have been calling it torture porn.

[Ayen]

Tomb Raider right now. I see why y'all have been calling it torture porn.

lol. I just started playing the game today too.

Lara has the worst smurfing luck in the world.

[Pumpkin]

Finishing up Tales of Xillia, also playing Xenoblade, Ys Seven, and Fire Emblem: Awakening

[Ayen]

Beat Tomb Raider yesterday, now I started on Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock.

Smurf the Cybermen. Seriously.

[Noire]

Since I finally platted Tales of Xillia yesterday, I've picked up The Witch and the Hundred Knight again...which I bought at launch, played for about 20 minutes, then put down and ignored until just now. Something else distracted me at the time, although I forget just what that something was...might have been because I was still obsessively playing Tales of Symphonia at the time. Still, it seems like a fun enough game, if a bit unorthodox for its developers. Time shall tell.

Mostly Mind = Zero now handheld wise. I want this game finished by next Wednesday, but that seems doubtful, since I have to replay it on Expert...and the Dream Corridor is BRUTAL. The enemies in the last three dungeons have all hit harder than the bosses! Kei loves missing, escaping never works unless Bursting, and I need to grind but I really cannot be bothered because this is a game that seems to discourage it by making each battle a chore. I seriously regret buying this game right now. It's also £12.99 now and I paid £24.99 for it. smurf PSN sales. Seriously. They're never around when I need/want them...

I've still not touched Tomb Raider or TLOU Remastered. Every time the PS4 goes on, when it hasn't got a Smallville DVD in it, it's got FFXIV instead...might be putting these two on the shelf for a while, especially if I cave and buy Diablo III/Bound by Flame. Since I've been itching to play the former since it came out on PS3 last year, and the latter is £24.99 on the PSN for PS4 (and £15.99 for PS3) it seems likely I'll cave within the next few days, especially if I sell something on eBay to justify it...

[Bubba]

Infamous: Second Son

Finished play through on normal/hero mode. Now I've started the difficult/villain mode. It is awesome.

[Psychotic]

I beat Metal Gear Solid 4 at the weekend! :) Enjoyed it, felt the gameplay was a little bit short though but the whole thing was obviously a tribute to the rest of the series.

FFIII taking up most of my gaming time presently.

[Wolf Kanno]

I had a co-worker force me to finally sit down and play Bioshock, just finished Fort Frolic.

[Pumpkin]

Final Fantasy IV
Tales of the Abyss
Star Ocean: Second Evolution

Playing, but on the back burner:
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Xenoblade Chronicles

[Bolivar]

Lately, I've been absolutely hooked on Rogue Legacy. I also play The Last of Us Remastered when I get the chance and have been on a Call of Duty kick as well, since performing an autopsy on my broken PS3 to get the disc out.

[Quindiana Jones]

Back to Dark Arisen again again again. Oh man, I love this game. I'm currently doing Daimon runs, collecting Third Tier Bitterblack Gear and Armor.

/nerd

[Loony BoB]

I started and finished Murdered: Soul Suspect on the weekend. I found it quite a neat game, I have to say. I think it's a shame the developers closed up right after they made it. There were parts of it that were predictable but a fair few moments that were not, too, and I just liked the people and the general story. The gameplay wasn't shabby, nothing amazing but a good compliment to a story-driven game.

Otherwise, nothin' but Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn for some time now I think!

[Quindiana Jones]

Aaaaaand Dark Souls.

As always happens, I play Dark Arisen, get a taste for challenging games and inevitably go back to Dark Souls. Continued my Dex/Int build through to Oolacile, and have started a Str/Faith build. Currently at Sen's Funhouse. :D

[Ayen]

DmC: Devil May Cry. Going for a perfect month.

[Shoeberto]

I beat Mass Effect 3 a few weeks back. It was underwhelming. I'm not sure if it's my nostalgia glasses, but I remember ME2 being a far superior experience all around.

I'm back into Planescape: Torment, trying to take it a bit more seriously for my second run. There's been some doses of Burnout Paradise and CS:GO mixed in there.

[Pumpkin]

Final Fantasy IV
Ni No Kuni
Star Ocean: Second Evolution

Playing, but on the back burner:
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Xenoblade Chronicles

[Karifean]

I just got Little Busters! on PlayStation 3. All in Japanese, and I can't read a single Kanji. smurf yeah.

Although I'm Let's Playing this game right now, I sure as hell won't get bored playing it on console at the same time. Plus it has the extra content from the Ecstasy version, so YAY!

[Bolivar]

I finished The Last of Us Remastered, it sure lived up to its reputation and I adored how much of the story is beneath the surface.

I also finished another run of Hotline Miami, since it came out on PS4 last week and I already had the license since getting the PS3/Vita version for free on Plus. I'm bummed the sequel keeps getting delayed but I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

I kind of don't want to start any new games until Destiny comes out so I'm probably going to grind away on Black Ops II, maybe finish Rogue Legacy and Hot Shots Tennis on Vita, and maybe hop back into a little Dota 2.

[Ayen]

I finished Devil May Cry completing my perfect month. It wasn't that long, then again DMC games seldom are. Next on the agenda is "F.3.A.R." God help it if it's as bad as people say it is.

[Wolf Kanno]

Currently I'm jumping back and forth between Star Ocean First Departure and Bioshock.

[deepdoop]

I just got done with The Witcher 2. I was going to play The Witcher 3 when it's released and have that be my first experience with the series, but I had a little bit of downtime from newer games so decided on two.

I think there are a few design flaws here and there, but it really is a special RPG. The issues I had were minor like, there should have been a button to interact with things instead of using the same button to attack. The delay after I kill an enemy and being able to pick stuff up is a bit of an annoyance. Again, these are really minor criticisms.

However, the plot is incredible, the combat is a lot of fun and has some depth once you get used to it (at first the controls bothered me a bit but I adapted), leveling up was also fun because of the multiple skill trees and being able to mutate said abilities, and the side-quests were interesting. There were a lot of twists and turns so you never really knew what was going to happen, even in quests, and I liked how your decisions were pretty definitive, so you could even miss an item later if you did something stupid earlier. It adds impact to your choices, and the game also reflects that in the ending. I have to say, the ending scene after the credits made me go, "Oh shit." It's just a really well-told low-fantasy RPG, and while I was originally excited for Wild Hunt just because of the hype and love the previous games have gotten, I can be more excited now that I'm invested in what's going on.

At first I didn't see why the game was getting 9s, 9.5s and 10s, but somewhere in Chapter 1 I started to really really like it and then in Chapter 2 I fell in love fully.

[Pumpkin]

Add Tales of Xillia 2 to my list

[Uchu]

Finished playing FFVIII and completed Trine 2 last week. Also, finished Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons yesterday, which was a lovely story. I didn't think i would like it all that much but ended up enjoying it. Check it out if you can.

Playing Battlefield 3 now for a change of pace.

[Slothy]

Switching between Counter-Strike: GO and Ace Combat Horizon mostly of late. Though I'm starting to feel a little burned out on the latter so I'll probably dial that one back for a bit.

Almost have enough money from CS: GO item drops to buy it for a friend of mine that wants to get in on the action.

[deepdoop]

So having finished The Witcher,for some reason I almost typed The Witness and that would have made me seem really cool, like I was the only one with an early copy,I don't know what to play next. There are new games coming that I want to play, but I've also been taking this time to catch up on old games I never got to play. I started System Shock 2 but I'm not sure if I'm in the mood for it.

Regardless, that's what I'm playing right now.

[Noire]

Been hammering away at Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment. More like Grind Art Offline: Translation Fragment...I have no clue where I'm going half the time, I've got this huge list of things to do and no idea where to start, and I'm skipping every cutscene because the translation is so painfully bad I can't bear to read it. Seriously, I have never seen a translation job this bad...it's like Atashi No Riri or something. Whoever is responsible for this needs to be crucified. Or at the very least, fired and permanently banned from ever doing this kind of work again. I could do a better job playing it by ear, and I don't read or speak Japanese. It is THAT bad.

...but as bad it is, the gameplay is murderously addictive. I want the Platinum trophy, and it's going to take hundreds of hours. Lovely!

Also playing Tales of Xillia 2, but I'm having a little trouble getting into it...it reminds me of Dawn of the New World a bit. And Leia seems to have grown more irritating than she was in the first game...

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 comes out over here tomorrow, so of course I'll be dropping everything for it~

[Uchu]

Playing through FEZ at the moment. At first I didn't like it, but went back to it the day after and am quite enjoying it. The atmosphere and sound design is awesome. One thing that really annoyed me though was the lightning stages (for those who have played it), my eyes were getting angry at being blinded every 2 seconds.

[escobert]

Obviously DayZ and CivV but otherwise FF8 on PC :) Heading to Timber!

[Ayen]

F.3.A.R.

I really think the enemies in this game need a boost in their vocabulary.

[Yellow_Magic]

Finished Snatcher yesterday (m u c h l o v e f o r H i d e o K o j i m a) and am alternating between Breath of Fire III and GTA: Vice City on my tablet :)

[Wolf Kanno]

Finally giving Tales of Symphonia a fair shake between playthroughs of Bioshock and Star Ocean: First Departure.

[MissH]

I'm just starting Zelda:Ocarina of time! Exciting!

[Jhereg]

I've been playing Bravely Default almost exclusively while helping my girlfriend with her playthrough of Final Fantasy X-2 HD.

[Slothy]

Finally getting around to The Walking Dead Season 2. Fucking Christ dem feels.

[deepdoop]

I started playing Lethal League last night. Really good, interesting take on fighting games and Pong.

I briefly started Anachronox last night as well but there are a few new games of interest coming this week so I think I may have to hold off on that one.

[Skyblade]

Playing Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney. It's awesome.


It's nice to have something distract me from the incredible Smash Bros. hype that has been basically keeping me from playing games for the past two or three months.

[Bolivar]

Dividing time between Surge Deluxe, Rogue Legacy, and Luftrausers on Vita and Black Ops II on PS3.

[Pumpkin]

Tales of Xillia 2
Ni No Kuni
Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory
Ys I
Fire Emblem: Awakening

[Ayen]

Darksiders II.

I can't tell if the controls are crap or the Xbox 360 controller is just trout compared to the PS3's.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Tales of Xillia 2 :thumb:


I can't tell if the controls are crap or the Xbox 360 controller is just trout compared to the PS3's.

Is it just the shape of the controller? The button placement is essentially identical.

[Pike]

Diablo 3 couch co-op with Mister Adequate :) it's a lot of fun. I do love ARPGs. Diablo, Torchlight, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, they're all fantastic.

[Ayen]

Tales of Xillia 2 :thumb:

Control sticks just don't feel right, man.

[Miss Mae]

Still playing Borderlands 2 because ​it's so good.

[Vermachtnis]

I started playing Dark Souls. I have no idea what I'm doing other than running around smacking stuff with an axe.

[Pike]

I've been playing FFTA 2 for the first time and it's quite enjoyable; I don't like it as much as the first FFTA (I'm not a fan of some of the new laws and mechanics) but it's still just as addictive as ever.

Mister Adequate and I also beat co-op Diablo 3 :3: The main quest, anyway. We've still got the ex-pac ahead of us! Great game for co-op.

[metagloria]

Beat Majora's Mask last night and told myself I wasn't going to start playing anything else, so I could focus on more important things like finishing my next album.

24 hours later, I have Ifrit, Quistis, and MiniMog. Sooooo that didn't last that long.

[Bolivar]

I'm trying to finish Rogue Legacy but I'm in a weird place where I'm not getting anymore armor recipes in The Darkness but minor stat increases aren't doing much to make it easier. Aside from equipping Grace Runes I feel like all I can do to beat the fourth boss is just play better.

[Karifean]

I read through Planetarian a little while ago. I can recommend it to anyone who has 3-4 hours to spare and some motivation to give it a try, it's on Steam for $7.49. I enjoyed it a lot, and I wish it were longer^^

[Bolivar]

I actually finished Rogue Legacy today! Currently reading a short story, then it is time to take another crack at Dragon Quest VI ^_^

[Elite Lord Sigma]

I'm nearing the end of my Encore playthrough of Eternal Sonata in addition to my usual Pokemon X and Gears of War 3.

[Bubba]

Trying to find time in my ridiculously busy life to play Destiny. However, with no internet either at home or at MissH's house this is proving impossible. Languishing on Level 10 while everyone else is up in the mid-20's :(

Been biding my time by playing Gravity Rush on my PS Vita. I'm also helping MissH play through Ocarina of Time. She's still getting used to 3D controls but she's doing well! She's just heading into Jabu Jabu's belly.

We're also interspersing that with a playthrough of Lego Lord of the Rings on my Vita which is very light and fun.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I feel sorry for her journey into Jabu Jabu's belly. That place is confusing as smurf... at least it was when I was a kid!

I'm just playing a lot of Theatrhythm now! I'm also going through Mario RPG and Xenogears when I have more time.

[Ayen]

Final Fantasy XII.

I'm at Barheim Passage right now. I hate Barheim Passage.

[Markus. D]

League of Legends. #obscuretitle #indiegaming

For real though the Ascension map is great and I'm LIVING for Cass in summoner's rift. I feel they should punish her laning phase a little though.

[Vermachtnis]

I started playing Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call. This game is awesome. Right now I'm using the best team ever of Bartz, Zidane, Zack, and Benjamin. I love that Mystic Quest is in this game. The music was the best part of that game.

[Pumpkin]

Too many games

Bravely Default
FFXIV
FFIV The After Years
FFV

Those are the main ones right now

[TrollHunter]

Resident Evil 4
Still playing melee (of course)
smash 4 demo from time to time

and I intend to start shadow of the colossus today.

[Ayen]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

[The Man]

Mother 3. Just finished the first chapter.

[Momiji]

Mother 3. Just finished the first chapter.

You are in for a ride.


I'm currently rotating my way through Dangan Ronpa 2, Dragon Quest 2, Atelier Rorona Plus, and Bravely Default. But also distracted by pretty much every other game on my Vita as well.

I also play Puzzle and Dragons pretty much all the time now.

I should also go back and see all the alternate endings for Chrono Trigger at some point too.

[Pike]

Well Mister Adequate and I are still kind of playing Diablo 3 on and off but since beating it and the expac, our pace on it has slowed a bit. I'm playing lots of FFTA 2 - I'm more interested in side quests than the main quest so I'll be at this one for a while. I'm also on a retro arcade kick so lots of Dig Dug and Donkey Kong has been played. Also some Yars' Revenge for good measure (reminder that this is not only the best Atari 2600 game ever made, but one of the best games of all time).

[fat_moogle]

I'm currently playing two games; Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition and Final Fantasy X HD. Diablo III is a lot of fun in co-op, currently on Act III.

[Bolivar]

Reunited with my DS Lite for some Dragon Quest VI, just got to a part where the game opens up, so that's always cool. Heading to see family this weekend so I expect to spend plenty of time with some classic JRPG goodness.

[metagloria]

Final Fantasy XII.

I'm at Barheim Passage right now. I hate Barheim Passage.

Ahh, Barheim Passage. Fond memories of grinding to level 50 there...

[Ayen]

Luigi's Mansion. Just made it to area 3. I ain't afraid of no ghosts.

[Wolf Kanno]

Hoping to start Fatal Frame soon, in the meantime I'm finishing up Bioshock and still putting time into Dragon Quest IX when I'm on the road.

[Endless]

Mario Kart 8
Hyrule Warriors
Super Smash Bros 3DS

[Freya]

WoW :shobon:

[escobert]

ArcheAge
DayZSA
Civ V

[Vermachtnis]

Super Smash Bros. for the N3DS. I use Peach.

[Taiga]

I'm concentrating on finishing my Tales of Eternia playthrough right now.

[Ayen]

Bravely Default.

[Wolf Kanno]

I forgot to mention Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. ;)

[Pumpkin]

I have quite a few on the back burner, but the ones taking up most of my time right now are Legend of Mana, Girls Fashion Shoot, and Animal Crossing New Leaf

[Ayen]

Resident Evil.

I don't remember Yawn being so hard. I used up all my acid rounds, two rounds of shotgun shells, all the clips I collected up to that point and he was still moving. Smurfing camera angles.

[Pumpkin]

I'm giving Chrono Cross another go

Also FFV

[Rez09]

I picked up Warsong yesterday for my, seemingly, annual playthrough and promptly sunk 12 hours into my duo-commander-no-troops run. I'm a bit over halfway done, and my, ahem, "Ranger" is about ready to start tearing the enemy apart. >: D

[I Took the Red Pill]

I've been playing a lot of Team Fortress 2 lately. Does anyone from EoFF still play? The Halloween events are good, casual, chaotic fun for anyone who would be interested in jumping back in.

[Pumpkin]

Started Skies of Arcadia Legends

[Vermachtnis]

Started playing Hyrule Warriors. It's a load of fun. I mostly got it because I wanted to play as Midna. But I find myself playing as Impa more. She's so badass. And she knows it, her victory pose shows it.

[Ayen]

I've been playing Silent Hill and The Walking Dead: Season 2.

Smurf you, demon babies! Smurf you, Carver! Smurf you, Roman!
Roman isn't in Season 2, I just like that line a lot.

[Rez09]

I finished Warsong and Der Langrisser, then I had an idea for a new character in Skyrim annnnnnnd . . . yep, there went my week.

[Bolivar]

Running through the last two Call of Duty campaigns to get ready for Advanced Warfare on 11/3 (week and a half out!)

[Mirage]

Alpha Centauri 2
Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne
Gran Turismo 6

AC2 is so much fun. It feels like they mostly sorted out the most annoying things in Civ5. The fact that it's in a futuristic setting is of course excellent too.

[Slothy]

Alpha Centauri 2
Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne
Gran Turismo 6

AC2 is so much fun. It feels like they mostly sorted out the most annoying things in Civ5. The fact that it's in a futuristic setting is of course excellent too.

Setting something in the future on another planet is a guaranteed way to make pretty much anything better. Liking it so far though I reserve my full judgement for until I've played more of it.

And now you've also reminded me I want to play some GT6. I don't have time for all the gams.

[Bolivar]

Would GT6 be worth it for someone who played the crap out of 5 and feels like they still have a ton left to do?

Hype me up (no snarky comments pls Mirage).

[Slothy]

Maybe. I think GT6 is a better game in a lot of ways (was not a fan of 5 for a lot of reasons at launch), but it is missing some of the content that was available in previous games. Endurance rces for example aren't in it. Now they were talking about adding some of that stuff back in after launch, but it's been almost a year and those aren't in there so who knows at this point.

That said, the game has a much better progression than 5, the physics feel a lot better, and the races are generally more interesting. I'd recommend it overall.

[Mirage]

Would GT6 be worth it for someone who played the crap out of 5 and feels like they still have a ton left to do?

Hype me up (no snarky comments pls Mirage).

Snarky comments? Me? I don't understand what you are getting at.

It is a difficult question. There are new tracks, and a lot more tracks with changing time and weather. The graphics are better in some ways but worse in others. They made fancier real-time shadows, but didn't have the hardware resources to make them very high res, so it sometimes looks wonky. They increased the resolution but had to go from proper AA to the simpler FXAA.

The career mode (aka GT Life) is shorter and doesn't cover as many different cars and tracks as in 5, but they are still different events than what GT5 had. However, the progression system in GT6 is a lot better than the awful level grinding in GT5. I much prefer license tests to unlock new things rather than mindless exp grinding. License tests is at least a skill-based progression system. If you're a decent player, you can quickly pass through the lower leagues and don't have to repeat races several times in order to level up if you skipped a few events.

There are no real endurance races in the career mode anymore, which is kind of a let down. I would say it was not worth it at all at the time of release, but now that it's been a year, you can get it for like 20 bucks and it's worth 20 bucks.

If you're interested in motorsports history and car design, the game also has a few things for you, such as a tribute to a legendary F1 driver, and exclusive digital concept cars designed by manufacturers specifically for GT6.

If I'm gonna take a guess at why the graphics are sometimes better and sometimes worse, I would say it's because a lot of the graphics used in GT6 probably were created for use with PS4, and then scaled down to a level that the PS3 could handle, while GT5's graphics were developed to look as good as possible on PS3. It hasn't been confirmed for all aspects of the graphics, but I am pretty sure that some PD guy said that all cars made for GT5 and 6 were made in incredibly high detail, then scaled down, so that they can use the same data to quickly create cars for GT7. Hopefully, this means that GT7 isn't as far off as GT5 was to GT4.

if GT6 had built on the strengths of GT5 and the current GT6 that we got, it would have been a much better game. I don't regret my purchase, but I'm glad I waited for several price drops.

-edit-
oh yeah I also really like the music but that's even more subjective than any of the other stuff i mentioned. and you could just put the music into gt5 with a custom playlist anyway.

[Slothy]

Bought Payday 2 yesterday because apparently Alpha Centauri 2 wasn't enough of a time sink this weekend.

Thank god I had no tests to study for.

[Pete for President]

Dota 2 because I finally have decent internet and it's the only game I can play on the laptop that I brought on my travels :)

[MoogleSky]

Not entirely sure considering I've been starting games and not finishing them @.@ Concurrently playing Destiny amongst PS3 games like Tales of Xillia; planning to replay The Last of Us.

[Bubba]

Destiny. All the time. I need help.

[Rez09]

Pokemon Blue.

[Miss Mae]

Civilization: Beyond Earth and Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4.

[Rez09]

Ohhhhh, another person playing BE. :D

Are you liking it so far?

[Miss Mae]

What I've played so far has been good. I have a free copy because my partner received a review copy, so I've only been able to play it when a) I'm home (which is rarely) and b) he isn't playing first (which is also rarely). He's just published his review on ImpulseGamer and most of his opinions are the same as mine. :)

[Pumpkin]

Skies of Arcadia Legends
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy XIV

[NeoCracker]

Playing through Pier Solar. A Sega Genesis game released in 2010, and just got an HD release on the Nintedo ESHop.

And you know what? It's pretty great thus far. :p

[DMKA]

Currently bouncing between Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Revelations, and III to get the last of the trophies I never got before Unity and Rogue come out. :p

[Bolivar]

I've been playing the crap out of Advanced Warfare. I've already prestiged with all the double XP days and what have you. Incredible game.

Also trying to beat Dragon Quest VI. I'm pretty much they're but one boss kicked my ass so I'm gonna grab a few more items before I try to push through.

[DanielCLFFF13]

Currently playing Final Fantasy XIII Steam :)

This game is a masterpiece :)



About a day ago finished playing Metal Gear Rising Revengeance

[MoogleSky]

Destiny. All the time. I need help.
Gave up even trying to get past level 20 because the loot rate is obnoxiously annoying...Also, I'm not a social player nor good enough for Strikes, Raids or the Crucible ):

Not going to lie, it's quite surprising how AW has been getting positive feedback. I've been watching gameplay of it and seems much better than Ghosts; only touched that for a couple days then left it. Perhaps I'll pick it up sometime next year ;P

You're probably better than you think. This is my first FPS game since N64 Goldeneye. If you're on PS4 and you fancy doing a strike or a raid then let me know. Don't need to mic up if you don't feel comfortable.

Also, just downloaded Steamworld Dig for free on my Vita. It's awesome.

[Ayen]

Super Mario Bros 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for me.

[Bolivar]

They really capitalized on the new generation in a way Infinity Ward wasn't able to with a short dev time for two generations. But even if they hadn't changed the movement with all the Exo stuff, I would still be saying this is the most exciting CoD since MW2. The game is just that good. Hit me up if you end up getting it on PS4!

[krissy]

Just finished red dead redemption
As in credits
100% status

I reckon I'll try to platinum it

[metagloria]

Tales of Symphonia. I'm not hooked yet, but I'm sure it'll suck me in.

[MissH]

I'm part way through Final Fantasy VIII, Zelda:Ocarina or time and Pokemon Diamand!!

[Quindiana Jones]

At the moment, I'm playing Hatch A Fucktonne of Swinubs and Startyus in the Hope That One of the Bastards Has the Right Nature and Ability.

[Iceglow]

The only game that's gone on my 360 lately is Destiny, I'm playing it way too much. If anyone's on the 360 version and wants help with strikes/raiding or whatever hit me up because I can try and sort something out with them :)

[Vermachtnis]

I've been playing Tales of Hearts R. I don't know what the R stands for, but I think it has to do with Pirates. I'm liking the entire cast so far...ish. Kohaku started off cool, but then she became boring and then she learned fear and became the most annoying character. She's picked Trust and Shyness and is slowly working her way back to being cool. She's joined in with the others in calling Kor a deviant. And speaking of calling Kor a deviant, Beryl is my favorite playable character. She's tiny, but the best kind of tiny: bossy and snarky. Also I have her dressed as a pirate.

[Loony BoB]

Football Manager 2015, taking Nottingham Forest up to the Premier League if I get my way. It's tough going, though, so far! It's my first run on an FM game since 2012, so I'm still learning a lot of things and because of that I've not been spending too much time doing pre-season prep like I usually do. My normal process is to change every coach, scout hundreds of players, etc. This time I only brought in a couple of players and replaced about half the coaches and scouts, so there's still some work to be done, really.

[DanielCLFFF13]

Still trying to make my way through Final Fantasy XIII :)
Almost cross 50 hours of gameplay, and just boarded The Palamecia.
60545 60546
I don't understand about people who's saying that this game is 25 hours type of game. Because I haven't even beaten Final Fantasy XIII

Also I'm playing The Legend of Heroes : Trails of the Sky
60548 60547
The character is so cute :)

And also playing Warframe, really want to play Destiny. But unfortunately it wont come to PC or will it?

[Pike]

Torchlight II! What a fantastic lootfest game! Any fan of the Diablo series should definitely look into Torchlight.

[Pheesh]

Dragon Age: Inquisition will be using up pretty much all of my gaming time for the foreseeable future.

[Hannibal_Khan]

Final Fantasy 12 IZJS. Its pretty good so far..

[Pumpkin]

Finished up with Skies of Arcadia and Tales of Symphonia and am now playing Xenogears

[LocoColt04]

About to boot up Dragon Age: Inquisition. Contemplating streaming it. Since the stream link is currently under duress, here's a shortcut to my twitch stream ~ Fancy. (http://twitch.tv/misterczar)

I'm playing Persona Q. And it's awesome! I'm about halfway through the second dungeon, I think. My party is Yu, Chie, Aigis, Yukiko, and Minato.

[chionos]

FFXHD, FFXIV, a little Destiny, just finished Bioshock Infinite (which was great)

[Wolf Kanno]

I've been playing an unhealthy amount of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: All-Star Battle lately. Beyond that I've been too busy to actually play anything.

[Bubba]

Myself and MissH have just started Pokemon Sapphire on the 3DS. Things have been a bit hectic though with moving out of my house, putting offers in on other houses and engagement party plans... we haven't really had a lot of spare time.

I still try and get on to play Destiny when I get the chance. Now I'm at level 30 though I'll probably wait for the expansion pack to be released before getting back to it.

[Shaibana]

ive decided to replay Uncharted (starting from 2)
and its time to replay Crisis Core again :3

[Rez09]

I'm currently replaying Ring of Red and going through Growlanser: Heritage of War for the first time. I'm pretty happy with Growlanser so far, even if the combat irks me a bit at times. :D

[Shoeberto]

The first Deus Ex... I want to actually beat it this time.

[Vermachtnis]

I downloaded the Gessen x Hebijo pack for Senran Kagura Bon Appetit! With the exception of Yumi, the Gessen girls spent the entire time pissing off their opponents. Even Minori did it, even if it was on accident.

I'm also downloading Alpha Sapphire and will start it here in a bit.

[Bolivar]

Morrowind: Bloodmoon on PC, Advanced Warfare on console, and Dragon Quest VI on NDS.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King for the PlayStation 2.

[Vermachtnis]

I've been playing some Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. I'm out of practice with fighting games. That and Elizabeth is a dirty cheater. Stop throwing me in a coffin when I'm punching you and then healing yourself. That's uncool.

Also playing some Stick of Truth.

[Karifean]

I've been reading Fate/Stay Night lately. Just got done with the Fate arc. Took a little breather and read through Narcissu in about two hours. Gonna read Narcissu 2nd and then continue with Ultimate Blade Works, I suppose.

Also still playing Ougon Musou Kyoku CROSS all the damn time. I'll beat Black Battler someday.

[Pumpkin]

I'm actually mking great progress on my list of games to play. Got through Xenogears, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Record of Agarest War Zero, and now I am playing

Atelier Totori
Harvest Moon Hero of Leaf Valley
Harvest Moon Sunshine Islands

[Sir Lancealot]

Persona Q and EUIV.

[Bolivar]

I finished my dream build desktop PC Monday and have been playing all sorts of stuff since. Mostly maxed out Crysis 2 for the eye candy and Far Cry 2, which, while not as demanding, is a better game.

Last night, I started modding TESIV Oblivion using the actively ongoing Mythic Dawn project over at S.T.E.P. I spent nearlythe entire night modding and only got about halfway through it. Hoping for good results when it's all said and done.

[Loony BoB]

I have been playing Far Cry 4 and it is great fun. :D It's not as good as Far Cry 3, but FC3 is the best FPS I've ever played. It was a tough act to follow but FC4 is doing it admirably, and I'm enjoying it a lot.

[Pumpkin]

Atelier Meruru

Back on Soul Silver with a vengeance. EV training a Parasect which I will use to catch things. :)

[Ayen]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Xbox. *bang head on the desk*

[Bubba]

Final Fantasy X HD which MissH bought me for Christmas. Really enjoying it at the minute! Just beaten Lord Ochu in Kilika.

Haven't played any Blitzball yet which is probably why I haven't been distracted from the story. I'm determined to finish it this time.

[Shoeberto]

Totally did not beat Deus Ex before dropping it, lol. I'm actually only just to the airfield. I'm determined to pick it up again sometime when I gaf.

But I bought Deadly Premonition and Killer is Dead on the cheap cheap not long ago and am totally in a mood for weird stuff. Killer is Dead is wonderful so far, though I'm very much intentionally avoiding the gigolo missions. For the most part it's totally a Suda game so I love it. DP is next after this.

Also picked up Shadowrun Returns and am finding it pretty fun and engrossing. Not sure that I'll play it to completion but it's been a good ride so far.

[Ayen]

I've been playing a lot of old school Nintendo and Sega since I got my review done early for the week. The fighting Power Rangers game, the game based off the movie, X-Men 2 Clone Wars, Ninja Gaiden 1 - 3, and Double Dragon. Next up: Double Dragon II!

[Electroshock Therapy]

Zelda: Skyward Sword. The game is so beautiful! And you get to swing your arms around like a dork, yet feel awesome doing it.

F.E.A.R. Online :stare:

[escobert]

I got the 3 Stalker games at the end up the steam sale so I'm going to play those in the order or their stories. I already had the first game but why not get a digital copy and the other two as well!


And I can't stop playing banished. Its my new Civ/SimCity

[chionos]

FFT and Trials Evolution, I will 100% this shit.

[Vermachtnis]

Child of Light, this game is awesome. I love it.

SmackDown vs. RAW 2010. I actually gotten so good at it I can play the game on hard without getting my ass kicked. Go figure.

Despite all the hours I first spent in the Story Mode, I find the stories I just make up in my head while playing exhibition matches to be a lot more fun. I made a Diva and she is cleaning house! I'm coming for your title, Michelle McCool!

[Pumpkin]

:P

Seriously though, just finished the first boss fight. I can understand the complaints with some of it. The camera does go wonky and its frustrating getting literally bounced around and the controls are hard to get used to. But the story seems interesting so far and the music is absolutely gorgeous. The art is really pretty too

Boss fight did take forever though

[Depression Moon]

A Link to the Past

[Pike]

I'm playing Hearthstone and (so far) I hate it. I need to win three games to get a mount for WoW and at that point I think I am uninstalling. NEVER AGAIN.

[Loony BoB]

Recently played The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth which was amazing fun, then followed it up with SteamWorld Dig which was also a great way to spend a day and a half messing around. Both games are very two dimensional, light on story, heavy on gameplay, and generally good fun. I got them both for free via PlayStation Plus, so if you do have them for free via the same route, I suggest checking them out. I also got Don't Starve but I really feel it's one of those games that has no end in sight, a la Minecraft, and I just can't get heavily invested in them because I know there is no real final achievement thing going on. I can appreciate those games only if they're really engaging, like Dwarf Fortress.

Other than that, I'm getting back into Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn lately. It's been a while since I've found myself wanting to spend just a few more minutes on the game and watching the hours tick by, and it's kind of nice to be back at that place again.

Planning on playing Child of Light with Danielle at some point in the coming weeks after I recently procured it.

[Pumpkin]

Still playing Dragon Quest IX and also now Disgaea

[Vermachtnis]

I'm back to playing Xenoblade. It's been like six months so I had to relearn how to play and then I used that knowledge to do sidequests for three hours and made absolutely no progress whatsoever.

[chionos]

Well, I was thinking of quitting FFXIV, but then they had to up and put out a trailer for their version of the Gold Saucer...bastards.

In the middle of: FFT, FFXHD, Half-Life2, but right now going back and forth between Fortresscraft (Minecraft ripoff on XB360, mainly for designing things) and Trials HD/Trials Evolution.

Final Fantasy VI.

And God am I awful.

SOMEONE TEACH ME TO PLAY THIS GAME! T_T

Just beat Tales of Symphonia!

Probably going to breathe for a few days and then start Dragon's Dogma. (edit: or maybe Twilight Princess.)

Just finished the witcher 2, roche's path

not sure for my next game to get back into assassins creed, i'm way back at 3, just after you finish playing as Kenway or to pick up kingdoms of Amalur again, think i'm about 17 hours into it.

[Skyblade]

I'm winding down on Fantasy Life. After doing everything there was to do in the main game I picked up the DLC.

The additional story is great, and still manages to capture that brilliant charm that balances self-awareness, solid characters, and fun nostalgia that made the game so great.

The new area is a bit oddly structured, but that's understandable given that it has to be self-contained. It's actually much more expansive than I would have expected.

Then there's the extra Creator Rank. Ooh, yay, you can progress further with your chosen Life! Fantastic for half of them. But the requirements to hit the top tier Creator rank as ANY of the crafting professions is utterly ridiculous. Most of the time when leveling through the game I could either buy the items I needed to make things, or I'd get them as rewards for doing random quests around Riveria. In the expansion they seem to have thrown most of that out in favor of really extensive grinds for materials, several of which you don't get any clues as to where they might drop or how to obtain them.

This actually really hurts the game. Part of the incredible design of the base game was how solid and self contained each Life was. Yes, you had to do some fighting with bosses (though even then, if you focus on the Doomstones, it was pretty easy to skip through the combat quickly), but you could essentially play an entirely non-combat game with most of the classes, and still have it be fun and well built mechanically. As it is, I've hit Creator rank with two of the four combat Life classes, and I don't have a clue how to even get ONE of the Creator challenges for Blacksmithing.

So I'm kind of cooling off my massive binge on the game.


Maybe it just opens up more as I progress further with the Origin Island story. But the ridiculous imbalance of it is getting to me. Plus, part of the joy of the game IS the progression. It's what I spent most of the main game doing, working on my Life classes. So having some max out really easily while not having any idea how to begin some others is really not conducive to keeping me playing.

[radicaledward124]

Im in the middle of AC:Unity and since the DLC just came out, I've been playing that. And FF XIV

Still playing FFVI. Just made it to the World of Ruin. Goddammit, Edgar, snap out of it!

[Pumpkin]

Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory
Dragon Quest IX
FFXII: Revenant Wings

[chionos]

FFXIII. So want to finish this thing once and for all and never have to touch it again.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

You could just stop playing it. It's the option I went with years ago.

[Karifean]

I finally beat Black Battler in Ougon Musou Kyoku CROSS, and what was the first thing I did? Naturally fight him again, and once again beat him. Funny how the most difficult things get totally doable if you manage to do them just once.

Time to learn other characters...

[Galuf]

building a FF IX themed creation on Minecraft Xbox 360

im also currently playing Bravely default (1st time) Dragon quest 1( first time) and FFV ( im doing a Letsplay with my nephew)

[chionos]

You could just stop playing it. It's the option I went with years ago.

I tried that for over a year. The game mocks me in its case with its three wobbly disks. I have to finish it before FFXV and that might happen within the next few years.

[Ayen]

Nothing! I'm playing nothing and I like it! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

*cough* Sorry. FFVI was just a very huge project to tackle. I'm exhausted. Glad I'm reviewing a movie instead next week.

[Bubba]

Having a dabble with Sim City 3000. It's quite enjoyable so far!

EDIT: The above is a lie. I just wanted to mention a game with 3000 in the title in honour of the 3000th post in this thread.

[Egami]

Replaying FFV at the moment.
