So what are you guys playing now...

Post by Gili » Fri Sep 03, 2010 11:36 am

Bored at work, and wondering what folks are playing game wise.

I'm currently playing: -

world of tanks - mmo(ish) in beta. Rather good fun. Essentially its just FPS team deathmatch/capture their base. But you have to earn research points(XP), and monies from each fight. Then upgrade your tanks and crew and carry on :) Its nice for some instant fun and action. No clans yet, nor clan type objectives...but presumably that will follow. Everyone i know whose applied to beta has gotten in :D



minecraft - do play a fair amount of this. am envious the amount of money this guy has made creating this game. this game is basically survival lego. day time you collect resources, night time the monsters come out and play. you will look at the gfx and think - like fuck i'd pay 10 euros to play that. But its immense fun, and if you check his sales figures you'll been impressed

502648 registered users, of which 103674 (20.62%) have bought the game
In the last 24 hours, 10905 people registered, and 4184 people bought the game.

Not bad for a solo developer :)

The survival multiplayer has only just been released and is very bugged. Not playable IMO. Once some of the core issues are resolved i will be hosting a server for friends.

Up until recently there has been daily updates to the game...but sadly now the developer is being courted by various companies trying to get a piece of the action presumably. so dev has been a bit slow ( were 1 week into a 2week no dev time )



eve online - still playing this. have tried to kick the habit multiple times but i can't get away from the politics and my strong dislike for my enemies. Once i see the NC burnt to the ground, and perhaps an alliance i built from scratch on the influence map i can probably put this baby to rest. until then...i'm just stuck there. 6 years so far :'(



harry potter lego (xbox) - playing this with the missus. I strangely enjoy the lego games. Haven't read harry potter so no idea wtf is going on but the puzzles are simple enough and good fun.



red dead redemption (xbox) - still enjoying this bad boy. Just to distracted with tanks and eve to put the time in to complete it.

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty (PS3) - A rather horrible shooter with exceptionally sketchy graphics. Fun if one doesn't want to think but just shoot some nazi's.

God of War Triology (PS3) - Just played through all three games. The first two have been HD-ified, which makes them look quite a bit better. And part three is pretty cool too. I do like the setting in Greek mythology, even if the 'everything dies' plot is pretty silly.

Heavy Rain (PS3) - Just started the game. Lots of quick time events. Eager to see if it is as good as some reviewers say, or as bad as the Dyvim says. At this point, I'm inclined to say it's neither. :P

Bioshock 1 & 2 (PS3) - For when I'm done with Heavy Rain.

Civilisation 4 (PC) - For when I'm into micromanagement.

Warcraft III (PC) - For when I feel nostalgic.

Also thinking about playing through the entire Legacy of Kain series again. But I'll need more free time for that. Perhaps if/when I'm struck with the flu or something.

i recently picked up Civ4 Complete - for under £10. Super bargain! Love the CIV games. just wish multiplayer was a bit more doable...but the games go on for sooooooooooo long

Taleworlds.com - Mount&Blade.

I have M&B War Band... but my favorite mod just came out with it's latest and final update for the original - so thats all I play.

I barely have time for that.

Civ 5 in preorder yet? Damn, I need to get that game too. I love the series.

Other than that:

Assassin's Creed II (X360): Very nice setting and graphics, especially now I'm seeing it all IRL :D
Fifa 10 (X360): Fun to play with friends
Anno 1404 (PC): I love city building games, and this one is nicely balanced. A bit dull after a while though.
Worms 2 (X360): Great instant killing multiplayer fun!
