Erm not sure if i should admit this after slating it, but i'm actually playing Crysis Warhead data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 I reinstalled it as i have not really tested my new rig since building it as all i really use it for is sim racing so i wanted to see how it did. And for the first time it's actually playable and not once have i had to adjust settings, just put it on Enthusiast @ 1080p and no AA and i'm consistently in the 40'sdata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7So i'm gonna attempt to finish it this time.
I know some will scoff at no AA but it looks good without AA and i prefer a smooth framerate to eye candy.
I am back to playing Half Life 2 after many years now it has Steam achievements, it is even better than I remembered.
Starcraft 2, Black ops, and occasionally like to go back and play guild wars and counter strike source (gotta love the oldies) data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Devil May Cry 4 - Bagged this one in the steam sale and so far its been a fun hack and slash game.
Star Craft 2 - I have only played a few campaigns but this looks like a good rts game.
Burnout Paradise - What can be more fun than smashing up racing cars. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Vanquish (360) - An absolutely crazy arcade style game from Sega which reminds me of a supped up Gears of War. Awesome fun. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Batman AA, Bully and COD:BO are what im currently playing.
I loaded up Devil May Cry 4 for the first time last night and played through mission one. I was fighting another guy who seemed really similar to the playable character. Didnt really understand what was going on. I havent played any of the previous games which is probably why. Wasnt particularly enjoying the way it played, but will crack on through a few more missions and hopefully it will come to me. I have pretty much just been mashing buttons so far data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
So far its seems very hack n slash with a bit of platform style jumping about.
I just installed a trial of EVE Online. Plus I recently got Civ 5. Goodbye life data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Napoleon: Total War - Won't stop playing this until Shogun 2. I am fully addicted.
Medieval 2: Total War Stainless Steel mod - Incredible difficult. Love it.
Cities XL - Interesting take on the city building concept. Not sure this will be a long-term play though, will play it along with Sim City 4 Deluxe over the next few weeks.
Civilization IV - Gone back to this after getting it cheap on Steam, my laptop can play it well but I still prefer V on my Desktop.
But I have bought so many games in the Steam sale lol. When I upgrade my desktop I will be right away playing:
GTA IV
Dragon Age Ultimate
Batman: AA
Civ V
Still waiting to get my hands on: Fallout 4 GOTY and will probably wait for NV. I have it on Xbox 360 still sealed, cannot decide whether to open it and play it or sell it for £30 on eBay. Siding towards playing it as I don't think I will make back as much as I paid and should get my monies worth out of it. Don't think I'll ever really have the time though lol.
I've been playing Assassin's Creed 2 a lot recently, and it's a lot better than I was expecting. They really did improve the weak and boring elements from the first gamedata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Currently playing Football Manager 2011 and Borderlands (picked up in the Steam sale).Will be moving on to Fallout: Las Vegas sometime in the near future too.
Also, playing Assassins Creed: Brotherhood on the PS3.
So many games, so little time...
