[Videogames] February/March 2011: What Are You Playing?

[Welverin]

Little big planet 2, well it's light hearted fun and I like creating stuff.

Anything worth mentioning?

At the moment, i'm playing a lot of Shining Force II and Gain Ground.

And since you ask for March also I will be playing Dragon Age 2 in two weeks...

This. This. and more of this.

 

[John Crichton]

At the moment, it's just Little Big Planet 2, God of War II and Rock Band 3 until my gaming laptop gets back from the repair depot.

Nice to see other people playing LBP2, I can't get people I know to even try it.

Gain Ground.

This, the arcade version, is one of my favorite games ever. Right up there with Ultima 6&7, the Wing Commander series, and Street Fighter.

God of War II

Your always behind somehow aren't you?

I absolutely have a backlog of older games, some are brand new in the packaging and others are replays. In this case it's actually the GoW re-release for PS3 with hi-def upgrades. Still, it's my first time playing it.

Pretty much just playing SC2.

Tell me about a backlog:
I've recently finished Sacred (yep, the first one) and have now started playing Doom 3...

It's a good thing I stopped buying computer games a couple of years ago

I never hesitate to take advantage of a good deal. Like some of the GOG.com sales, Steam specials, amazon.com discounts & bargain bin games at retail stores. I have definitely cut down on buying newer games in the last 2 years or so. I only buy games at full price or near their release date if I know I'm going to play them really soon like Dragon Age 2, Civ V, LBP2, Rock Band 3, various sports games and other favorite franchises.

I recently finished Mass Effect 2 (PS3)... best game I've played in several years. I had to loan it away to prevent myself from immediately starting a new game... and thus earn more heckling from my wife about spending all my time with my new 'space friends'.

Right now I'm finishing up Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3). It's very good, very Batman-esque. I'm been borrowing in for months... not sure why I took me so long to play it.

I just bought a DS RPG: Radiant Historia. Read some reviews that piqued my interest.

I'm on the fence about Dragon Age 2. I'll play it some day... but I'm just not compelled to buy it at launch. ME2 spoiled me. The play mechanics are just far more refined than DA's.

And I just got a new laptop which is (somewhat) gaming-capable: Dell XPS 15 w/Core i5 and a GeForce 420. Which means I'll probably be checking out some older PC titles and Civ 5. Any suggestions?

(other than: 'spend some time outside' and 'get a life' -- which I do/have, really!)
