What Video Games Are You Playing?

LittleBigPlanet on the PSP.  I have trouble with the level creator, but luckily I'm able to download everyone's else created levels.  They are awesome!

I'm also taking another shot at Sonic Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood on the DS.  This time, I'll be level grinding even more than before.

Heroes of might and magic 3.
It's more addictive than crack cocaine.

I either play as Solomir(sp) from the Tower or Ivor from the Fort. I've wasted so much time on that game.

I should have gotten a platinum trophy for Dark Void last night, but oh no - there's a glitch on one of the trophies.  You get all your weapons fully levelled up, and no trophy.  Apparently it's a random glitch, so the advice on the internet is to start a new game, level all the weapons up again, and hope you get it then.

GRRRR!!!   

Oh well, I really enjoy the game so I guess it won't be too bad.

Left for dead 2

It was on sale on steam, and available on mac [which I'm currently using] so I thought why not.

I've spent the last 3 hours blowing holes in zombie scum.  I am a happy chappy.

I played the first Left 4 Dead and was greatly impressed by it. I need to catch up to the part 2's and 3's of the recent games, like Dead Rising 2 and of course LFD. 

My recent accomplishment is Assassin's Creed 2 and I enjoyed every minute of it. I can't wait for AC: Brotherhood.

I'm now working on the original Bioshock and I'm sorry I didn't pick it up sooner.

Castlevania: Lord of Shadows. A lot of fun to play and looks reasonably long.

That's what she said.

Finally got my platinum trophy for Dark Void this morning.  Had to play through the whole thing about 1 1/2 more times to get all my weapons levelled up - again - but then I finally got the trophy for that and a second later, the platinum 



Count 'em:  one, two, three, FOUR platinum trophies

Renting Dead Rising 2. While I'm still not impressed by the choice to have Playboy ads sprinkled here and there throughout the game (seriously? Is that what they felt the needed to do to get the coveted "M" rating? The gratuitous blood and gore weren't enough?), I'm willing to overlook them for the definite improvement in survivor AI and the choice to change how the walkie-talkie works. The craft weapons are fun, too, even if many of them break so quickly that they're only useful for grabbing a couple of extra kills between cases/rescues.

It's bad enough they have paid in-game ads.  They could at least have not had ACTUAL PICTURES OF REAL PEOPLE on them, which really breaks the immersion of the game.

Agreed. Also, Pavlov's dogs, anyone? I mean, you're getting the thrill of killing virtual zombies in very gory ways as well as (if you're a straight male or a lesbian) sexual titillation from images of half-naked women in provocative poses. Let's hope no one gets the two stimuli crossed.

Working on Saboteur right now, EA's latest third-person GTA ripoff taking place in 1940 France during the German occupation.  As usual, they made it barely playable, and with ther ususal over-sensitive controls. 

But hey, why make a great game in another area, when you can skimp on R&D to go all out on the next EA's Tiger Woods Golf  or the next Madden NFL game?

I bought that a few weeks ago but haven't started on it yet.  Looks like a pretty fun game though...I hope  

Oh, and they delayed Gran Turismo 5 - again!

Just beat it with the S ranking. I liked the storyline for the first game a lot more. There's some DLC coming out with the protagonists from dead rising 1 and dead rising 2 have to team up to do some cool stuff.
