What Video Games Are You Playing?

what model Citroen is that? 

It's just called a Citroën GT by Citroën Race Car.  I don't think it exists in real life - Citroën made one street version, but canceled plans to put it into production (they were gong to make 6 of them) because they didn't think it would be profitable. 

And yes, it is so cool that it casts its own reflection in cobblestones 

no actually they are considering to bring the idea back up. the race version is just like the old NFS HP2 version, even though there wasn't a Ctroën GT in the game.

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles

Got it at a special Christmas sale at local video game store.  Very fun rail shooter game and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes that type of game, Resident Evil, and zombies in general.

Got a PS3 for Christmas  so lots of gaming as I used my birthday dough to pick up Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare and Grand Theft Auto IV, all very fun games although I find it hard to stick to the game's storyline in many of these as it often seems more fun to just do your own thing.  Also I find I need lots of practice to get the controls down pat. Found it really hard steering in GTA at first. Also got the Ghostbusters game and DC Universe vs. Mortal Kombat which feel a little more old school in terms of gaming style which might disappoint some but they were still fun, especially Ghostbusters, kind of like a new little story with the old cast.

I got Mario Party 8 and Resident Evil 1 remake from Archives for Wii... I love them both.

Now the two I don't like. Pac-Man Party and Wii's Tron Grid Battles. I have to keep them though, from my girl.

Assassin's Creed 2 and Dead Space. I'd heard good things about both and loved Assassin's Creed 2 when I rented it, so how could I say no when I found them for $20 each?

Dead Space, GREAT choice, mate!  Just wait until the end, hehehehe

Assassin's Creed 2: A major overhaul from the first game, and many more ways to achieve your goal. The storyline has expanded and really fills in stuff not in the first game, in a way that makes sense of everything up to this point in the series. I know you'll like it!

Dead Space is definitely one of my favorite games of this generation.  Already got the second one pre-ordered    I's coming out at the end of January I think.

You know it. Dead Space was sort of like a third-person Doom in a way, w\regard to the feelings it evoked.  As well, you had the setting in space, and some creatures whose appearances definitely were influenced by the designs in Doom.

Lastly, speaking of Doom, I have the backward comatible X-Box discs (tin box) of Doom 3 and the expansion, Resurrection Of Evil. There's still some good stuff among the original X-Box games! I only wish more of them, like the Brothers In Arms series, were all backward compatible.

I keep going back to GALACTIC EMPIRES: DARK AVATAR.  I can't get enough of that game.  I also wish they would launch an updated release of Side Meier's ALPHA CENTAURI and ALIEN CROSSFIRE.  I loved those games.

As far as building games like Alpha Centauri go, I'd like to see an updated version of Jaleco's Utopia:The Creation Of A Nation.  Your task was to colonize one of 10 planest of increasing difficulty, and you had to keep the people happy and secure, as well as developing technology that you eventually would use to fight off the native alien species as they came knocking.

I'd also like to see Metal Marines in an updated version.

I used to have another game called Pirates:Gold! for the old NES.  That was a fun one. I believe Sid Meier had something to do with that one.

Also, I have a PC game from Eidos called Cutthroats:Terror On The High Seas that has some similar themes to it, but it's a bit more involved. Good stuff though, these 2 games!

Playing through Resident Evil 4 on the Wii.  So far 8 deaths.  Damn chainsaw guy and guy with wolverine claws.

I got a copy of the new Medal Of Honor game from Gamefly today. I started playing a few hours ago. Not too shabby! 

The game has a sense of realism to it that I've found very refreshing, and a break-away from the repetitive 'save the world' theme of the Call Of Duty series, although that's a great series too, don't get me wrong.

The battles are quite literally uphill in the later stages of the early missions-mountaintop battles,  cave battles, you name it. Although I haven't gotten to the end yet, I have a feeling it's going to be like most games today, short and sweet.
