What Video Games Are You Playing?

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 the usual over-sensitive controls.  

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!   

Well, I guess iSaboteur's OK now that I'm into it somewhat. The controls definitely needed some more work though. And all the nudity and debauchery has to be DL'ed from Xbox live in order to appreciate the Paris nightclubs (dammit!)

Also getting my curiosity is the voice of the one character, Luc. I swear ithas to be Peter Fernandez of Speed Racer fame (as well as many other countless 60's era TV shows.)  I'm a bit late appreciating Saboteur but it's gettin' better

Bought it for £3.49

Now life in the cubes, creep !. You're going down. I am the law. All this rampant consumerism makes my skin crawl...

Right now I'm playing Risen, a nice little game about a mysterious island where ancient temples are erupting from the ground, filled with gold and other mysterious artifacts, and some of their original inhabitants..

Not a bad game, but it had the potential to be another Oblivion. As it stands, it just not a bad game, it's just not a good one either.

I'm playing through Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario once more. Never beat the final bosses though.

Just got bored with Poker Night at the Inventory. Sure, it's funny for the first hour or so thanks to some great dialogue between some off-kilter characters from various franchises that would never meet outside of the context of this game, but...well, it loses its lustre when the dialogue starts repeating. Sure, you could keep playing to unlock some purely cosmetic Team Fortress 2 items, but what's the point?

It was worth the $5 I paid for it, though. I had some laughs and learned the ground rules for poker. I had more fun with it in such a short time than I usually do with longer, full-priced games.

I've been playing Gran Turismo 5.  Great game and I'm having a ton of fun with it, though it falls well short of what I'd expect after waiting almost 6 years for it to come out. 

Here's one of my cars:

[God the Worms]

Half Life
Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness
Beavis and Butt-head (Sega Genesis)
Smash TV (Sega Genesis)

I beat Psychonauts not too long ago. I signed a petition for a sequel.

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsnel:  That's a really fun game, but damn is it hard.  It is a good kind of hard.

Snake!

On the cell phone, whoo!

I vaguely remember this one. 

As to other hits from EA, I have an old 3DFX Voodoo rig upstairs, that regularly gets play from flight sims such as AH-64 Apache great
Longbow and Israeli Air Force as well as some other great Glide-driver games like Hexen 2 and the Quake stuff.

There's still some good years left in these games!

I never could get past that "War game" stage with the Napoleon type guy.  there's this part where you gotta do some precise ledge jumping in order to get into a tower and I just kept falling to the damn ground. 

Still, the game was pretty cool!  :)

I love the part where the guy is explaining how to do pyrotelekensis and he says, "And if you're trying to express a girl, make sure she didn't use a bunch of hair spray."

That part gave me some trouble as well, but its nothing compared to the final level.  That'll break your sanity.

Also, I love to a second game.  Do it!

I've been playing a few different games to try to see if there is anything I want to get back into like Super Mario Sunshine, Ratchet & Clank, and Spider-Man 2.
