TheMightyEthan Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 [Greed Corp is] a very excellent game - and can be extremely hard. You think you've got the match in a bag? Next move - HA. You lose. It's terrific. This. I love it too. I'm huge on turn-based strategy games though, of all kinds, from Civilization to Risk to Valkyria Chronicals to Advance Wars.

TheForgetfulBrain Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) I've been impressed by how polished the game is - the quirky music, the solid mechanics and the surprisingly good story writing between levels. Non-PC-gaming-wise, I played this card/strategy game in person with my friend and his girlfriend the other night, when they came to visit. Called Dominion- It is AWESOME. I wish they had a Steam or XBLA version of it so I could play it again. There seems to be an online version, but it looks slightly homebrew and the webpage is in German - tried to get it working briefly, but couldn't. http://www.brettspielwelt.de/Spiele/Dominion/ Edited January 3, 2011 by TheForgetfulBrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Whenever I say stuff like that my fiancee's always like "why do you always want a video game version? why not just play the real one?" The answer is: 1) I can't play the real version against a computer, and it's a PITA to try to get a bunch of people together to play certain games, like Risk. 2) It's easier to let the computer manage crap like card decks and dice rolls, so I get to focus on just playing.

TheForgetfulBrain Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yeahh, like, I have a ton of board/card games and there's loads of ones I want, but none of my friends live in the city now, so it's super rare for me to have an opportunity to play them. Plus, the adapted versions usually have awesome visuals to go along with the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Just finished Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light in co-op. Awesome game. Should get back to some other unfinished games... Edited January 3, 2011 by Hot Heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Still playing Fallout: New Vegas. Got it during the first week of the Steam holiday sale. I'm really loving the hell out of it. I played Fallout 3 when it came out, but I kinda rushed the main quest and I've regretted it ever since. I downloaded F3 a few times to try and play it again but I could never really get back into it and would always stop after an hour or two. So I was surprised by how quickly I really got into NV. I'm really taking my time with this one. Been playing for over a week now and I've got around 23 hours of playtime so far and I've only set foot on The Strip for the first time this afternoon Edited January 3, 2011 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yeah took me a while to get to the strip. I wasn't too bothered. Actually I was kind of bummed on how small it was. The trailers had some very skillful wide shots of the strip As for current playtime V And I've not touched it for a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshi Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Well, Cid was kind of a bitch because Hope kept getting his ass raped, but otherwise yes. Also, I would rather have Cid in my party than Snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I just finished arkham asylum. Really good game, except that detective mode makes the entire game incredibly easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 ha, yea it did. I rarely left detective mode, I feel bad for the developers and people who worked on the graphics. Thanks guys, I'll stick to detective mode, kthx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys, I'll stick to detective mode, kthx. Same for me. I think with Arkham City they've talked about having it so you can do the Detective mode stuff without kinda losing the visuals the art guys had worked on. Though I've not been following too closely.

Thursday Next Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Having finished Brotherhood I now have to choose between: Dead Space, BioShock, Brutal Legend, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, GT5, Castlevania Lords of Shadow and Dead Rising 2. I'm tempted to stick them on easy and crash through the story of Dead Space, BioShock and Castlevania. Dead Rising 2 is gonna take ages and Brutal Legend... I don't know if I want to play it. Tonight, Dead Space methinks. I need to beat it before my dad does. I will not have a 65 year old finish a game before I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrayfield Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I'm bored, I'm playing Tales of Vesperia. Bought it ages ago and forgot, then fancied some Namco RPG with those trusty, cringe-worthy dialogues. Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I played MNR back when it was out. But then hit a brick wall with the campaign and never really touched it since. Which is a shame cos I loved the track creator. Miles above LBP's creator in usability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyaruson Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Still playing CoD: Blops. That multiplayer is so much fun. For single player I'm throwing down some Bayonetta, Dance Central, Fallout 3 and Rock Band 3 (when I find time). I really want to start playing Crackdown 2, but haven't found time between everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battra92 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Super Paper Mario for me. I'm up to chapter 3-4 so it's been fun so far. My fiancee is back playing Final Fantasy 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staySICK Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 A smattering of whatever comes to mind. Right now with the new gpu, I've been focusing on pc games the past few days. I just tried Metro 2033 to see how well I can run it. DX11 mode, Ultra high, 1680x1050 (that's my monitors native), it runs.. p erratically, hovering around 25-35 fps during typical gameplay, with a few times it shoots up to 50+ (mainly cutscenes). I need to finish Epic Mickey too, hopefully I'll get some time this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoStarr Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I was never one to choose between games. I always have many of them on the go at once. Currently; - StarCraft 2 - Company of Heroes - The Path - Minecraft - KOTOR (it's actually my first playthrough of this and I can't believe I didn't do it sooner) - AAaaaAAAAaaAAAaaaAAAaaaa!!! A Reckless Disregard for Gravity - Frozen Synapse Was thinking of adding Black Ops and Vanquish to this list since I haven't used a console in ages. I also really want to get back to playing New Vegas and Sin and Punishment 2, but they demand time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
