What Game Are You Playing At The Moment?

[StereoKill]

Finished 'Heavy Rain' last week and loved it. Now I'm on a retro kick with 'Cave Story' and 'Mega Man 10' on the Wii. Both very awesome games if you like the old school stuff.

Just bought GOW3 and am jizzing in my pants waiting to try it out.

It's a race! The Black Mesa developers emulated Valve a little too closely.

Two great games that do similar things to old genres - such a pleasure to live in an era where PC gaming is thriving (yeah, you heard me).

The GOTY Edition trailer really made me want to try Batman again. I did about 3 or 4 bosses and, as always happens with every game I play ever, forgot about it. Might have to Lovefilm it again.

Great game, first one to get the feel of Batman right.

I agree with youy, but it's the underground pc gaming world that's triving. The big sellers are still the Modern Warfares, Assassin creeds, and so on.

BUt yeah, on a whole i have to thank you for making me re-discover gaming, an easy way to get games without ovewrpaying them and discover a lot of marvelous gems i wouldnt have known if i didnt follow your reccomendations.

and I don't really care for it.

checking out king's bounty, it looks pretty great.

i'm having trouble walking away from my Torchlight gaming sessions. I get all these plans in my head to do a million things and have to talk myself down and try to get some work done/do things in real life.

Very true, and it's amusing that the huge games (more accurately, the publishers of huge games) are showing open contempt for the format they look (and usually play) best on thanks to money. I think the next few years will be interesting as the gap widens. It's a great time for small(er), underground and old games on the format. Which reminds me, I have a txt file full of things to try that I should get to.

Aw thanks man, always happy to evangelise about gaming; the best possible thing to hear is someone finding a game they never would have heard of and loving it.

King's Bounty is beautiful, funny and surprisingly deep - I can't recommend it enough. I played it though most of the marathon podcast while listening in.

Torchlight really hits that Diablo 'just one more room' note. I can lose hours without noticing after just going in to finish off a quest. I kinda want a dog in Diablo 3.
