Games you're playing right now, and my freetime's demise

I'm finnaly getting Bioshock this week, I know its great, but do you guys have anything to say about it?

It was pretty good but overhyped IMHO. Yes, the overall atmosphere is amazing, very creative and artistic, and the story is pretty damn cool. But it got repetitive pretty very for me, and mostly it really shows its console roots. Some visuals are incredible, but most of the textures are very low-resolution and it really spoiled the fun a lot for me.

Playing 2K9 on PC!!!!!! I only play sports video games.

Finished Fallout 3 this evening and tried out a couple of endings. I'm sure I'll play through it again and try out different paths and check out all the sidequests but I might put it aside for now.

For those who may be interested, the singleplayer demo for FEAR 2 is available:

I kinda liked the first one 3 years ago, but I was not too impressed with this demo overall. The engine must be different or heavily modified because it looks quite different, but I thought it was too grainy and I'm not sure if it fully exploits widescreen, the FOV was kinda weird.
Had some fairly creepy moments, but they seem to have opted for more of a console-type of gameplay, it didn't really feel like a PC FPS it for me, but more like arcade shooting. Hopefully, the full version will prove me wrong.

I'm currently having a great time playing Mass Effect. And kinda noticed that, do the talent points really get a limit of only 2 per level?

So I started playing a video game after a long, long time...last time I played was last summer.

The game? NBA Live 08.

That's not such a bad thing. You've probably seen more natural light than a lot of us.

I'm playing NBA Live 08, Fallout 3 and NeverWinter Nights 2.

nba 2k9 and nba live 07

Nba 2k9, Mvp Baseball 1978 mod, 1994 mod, and the 2008 mod, call of duty 4, left for dead, Crysis (wh), i have a few more mirriors edge, lost planet, etc just not installing yet, barely have time keep up with these, yet alone mlb 2k9 when it drops.

Resident Evil being my favorite game series, and with the wait for RE5 being excruciating, I broke down and bought a Gamecube and the RE1 remake. Turns out Gamecubes require memory cards, and Resident Evil doesn't have checkpoints.

So, I died after the three scariest hours of gaming I've ever experienced. Those Crimson Heads are brilliant. Fuuuuuuck.

I upgraded my video card from 8600 GTX to ATI HD4870 1GB GDDR5 recently, to go along with my Q6700 so I am playing GTA 4 at almost full setting right now. It seems it's a better game on console than PC though.

Amazing, you got 2K9 and still play live 07? Rofl.

I'm playing NBA Live 08, Fallout 3 and NeverWinter Nights 2.

That Live 08 was even worse than 07. Fallout 3 is one of the best though. NeverWinter Nights also is an awesome game.

Been playing the same non-basketball games, Halo and Rock Band. Been feeling the need to install BF2 though.


zanshadow, I've been playing Live 09 on the 360, but in the past week I have played 07 (street mod), 06 (PC mod), 04 (generics mod), and 2k9 equally on the PC. You get things in the older games that graphics and 2k's animations can't get.

Depends which platform you're talking about. NBA Live 08 PC was a terrible release but the Xbox 360 version was considerably better (but certainly with its own issues).

With all the patches on Neverwinter Nights 2, sometimes there are plot bugs that cannot be removed. Oh hell, lost love for that game.

I'm nearing the end of Mass Effect.

Resident Evil being my favorite game series, and with the wait for RE5 being excruciating, I broke down and bought a Gamecube and the RE1 remake. Turns out Gamecubes require memory cards, and Resident Evil doesn't have checkpoints.

Should've got a Wii and a Wavebird. Even though that's easier said than done.

Now that you have a GameCube though, you can experience the best gaming of the last gen: Metroid Prime and Wind Waker. Gonna need that memory card though better get a cheap knock-off. (And Zero is better than remake. And 4 is better than both combined.)

Recently bought some older but cheap games:

Doom 3
Far Cry
F.E.A.R. Ultimate Edition (game + both expansions)
Penumbra - Overture
Penumbra - Black Plague
Star Wars Battle Front 2

I play a bit this, a bit that.
I don't play NBA 2k9 that much because I still need a good roster to start my association with (WITHOUT white shoes and without some crappy ratings).

That's not such a bad thing. You've probably seen more natural light than a lot of us.

Natural...what?

*gone to look it up in a dictionary...online of course*

Light: that bright thing coming from the PC monitor that makes the user feel warm.
