What Game Are You Playing At The Moment?

Replaying Beyond Good And Evil.

Wow. This game was so goddamn good. The graphics and mood of the story were so simple and charming, with this humorous yet sweet sci-fi fairytale look... But it looked and still looks so good.

But mostly it's a FUN game. As many have complained, it's very stealth heavy, but it's well done stealth, so it doesnt bother me. And the whole miscellanous elements (object finding, photo hunt, arcade style fighting and so on) works beautifully. It's one of those games where the years have been kind and still makes modern games look bad in terms of pure joyful fun.

Lovely, even if it needs a lot of rough handling to get properly started under W7.

Sniper Elite is on sale for £2/$2/Yurps2 on steam. Not a great game by any measure but unusual enough to be worth a try.

It really depends what kind of games you like, GOG is just a distribution service so all genres are catered for.

If you're starved for inspiration, the always reliable PC Gamer Top 100 is well worth a read.

This list, although made for netbooks, is useful too.

Obviously, check the specs before you buy anything. The important stuff being:

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
Processor: Intel Core2Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz, 2000 Mhz, 2 Cores
RAM: 2.00 GB
Graphics card: Mobile Intel 45 Express Chipset Family (integrated)

Bought Sacrifice on the always reliable Steam. Heard great things about it. I'll see.

I upgraded Steam sometime last week to the Beta version, but hadn't really poked around on it 'til now. Turns out, it's awesome!

It's a destructive and unstoppable addiction that ruins good people's lives. So yeah, it's awesome.

I just kind of didn't like browsing on Steam before cuz I thought the ui was a little slow, but I really like this beta version.

wait, are you talking about peggle?
because i made the mistake(?) of buying the peggle pack with Peggle Deluxe and Peggle Nights, and it's all I've really been doing. But, it was kind of a necessary purchase since I realized that I had played the demo for over 4 hours.

long live PopCap.

Plants vs Zombies is good too, but I have yet to buy a mouse for my laptop, and it's too hard to keep up with the on screen action with the trackpad.

Playing Super Metroid (SNES). Back to the classic and still it's in my top 10 games of all time.

I was alking about Steam. But the argument works even better with peggle. It has been the monkey on my back for all this time. Now i'm playing the great master challenges. And i know i'll still be doing it after i finished those....

Plant Vs Zombies is awesome but doesnt have the addictive quality of peggle, at least for me. What's a popcap game that is equally compulsive as peggle? Zuma? Chuzzle? Bejeweled, Bookworm?

Since I was finally able to pick up my preorder of Pokèmon Soul Silver and I have some time off, I can finally start playing that.

Im also playing some Age of Kings, and Diablo 2 on the side. 2 Great games, the first one especially that I remember playing fondly somewhat competitively 8 years ago or more.
