Nov 10th will be challenging.  You see, both Fallout 4 and the third Starcraft 2 installment come out... On the same friggin day!

Finishing Just Cause 2, might buy Just Cause 3 when it is at a lower price.

WWE 2K16 - it's glitchy in places but I love the Stone Cold storyline...

Sonic Generations - PC



The graphics are absolutely stunning at maximum resolution

Star Wars Galaxies (the good version): Friend got an emulator for this one. Having tons of fun with it! Great gameplay!

Fallout 4. Its possible this game has quests, although I seem to be spending most of my time exploring (which for me means killings things in new places and picking up every possible piece of loot until I can no longer run, then spending a long time walking around to find a vendor to sell it to).

STARGATE, the sequel to DEFENDER.  Even harder than the original due to extra buttons to have to keep track of.
Though there is a warp gate that may let you get to certain areas of the level quicker, or if you're carrying humanoids you may get to level warp through the gate.

Garry's Mod:

It's a "sandbox" game made off of Half-Life 2. I mainly use it to program stuff like NPCs, and it's been a hobby of mine for over a year and a half.

a couple actually 1. Transformers:Devastation for PS3 a MUST buy for any Transformers fan especially if you have been a fan since the 80's like i have. it's a Gen 1 game! and it's a fantastic game too. i normally play on easy mode cause i'm not no expert at video games but depending on the game easy isn't always easy

like say Batman any of the Arkaham games.  i'm on Level 4 of the Transformers game and it's a game that you do a lot of melee attacks yes but you also use a turrent in it as well. and though the downside is you only have a choice of 5 autobots to play which sucks but oh well. no you don't play as the decepticons but than i don't really care either about that.

a Link Between World i was playing that too. i'm up to the last head boss but i can't beat him yet sadly. i've tried a few times so far to beat him but oh well i guess. anyways, i'm also playing Ratchet & Clank:Tools of destruction i believe it's the 1st Crack in Time game and i've beaten it many times but it's still a great game either way. so far it's the only one in the series i have actually beaten to be honest. that's for the PS3 as well.

Got X-Com 2 as an anniversery present from the wife. Only played the first couple of missions. I still miss the old base building from the original games though, but the game itself seems ok so far.

The remake they released a few years ago got rave reviews, but I couldn't get into it. Too many new options presented at the same time. Getting overwhelmed by the situation is part of the X-COM experience, but still...

Myself, I've been replaying the first Half-life and its expansions. They stood the pass of time well, although some of the puzzles still baffle me. Thanks God for the Youtube walkthroughs.

Need For Speed Most Wanted and Carbon. Not the 2012 Most Wanted, the good 2005 game.

An old arcade game called APB (Atari Games, 1987).  Very funny when it plays up stereotypes associated with police work (collect donuts, your chief of police is a fat, blathering idiot, your main goal is to hand out tickets).  Gets hard when you have to remember the basic street layout (several roadblocks, you have to know where the perpetrator is parked, you don't want to crash into the train, etc.).  Lots of extra things to do (pick up money or hitchhikers (!), get weapons/car upgrades at shops, refill gas, etc.).

I recently took my PS3 over a friend's house who has a much faster internet connection then I do, so I downloaded a bunch of PS1 and PS2 games I wanted to try but missed the first time around as well as some recent PSN indie games.  So I'm trying a few different ones right now.

For the PS1:
I got the Toomba series.  It's a side platformer akin to Mario, but the trick is you can jump onto items in the foreground and the background giving it a certain sense of 3D space.  First one's kind of fun.

For the PS2:
Psychonaughts.  One of those cult classic games.  Good game play and a really unique and interesting visual style.

Also a game called Trapt.  Which sadly seems to be one of those games that has a good concept but doesn't really deliver.  You play as a princess who is framed by her evil step mother for killing her father.  Bounty hunters are after you and have you cornered in a mansion.  A demon gives you the ability to set traps to lure your opponents into.  Its the only way to defend yourself.   And your supposed to be able to set multiple traps at once and combo your would be killers, but so far I seem to only be able to place one at a time.  Maybe it happens later in the game or I'm playing wrong, but so far it was  a bit of a let down.

Mark of Kri:  The God of War Game that came out before God of War.  Decent combat with an interesting focus feature that assigns enemies to specific controller buttons.  Visually, it looks like an animated Disney movie with blood and decapitations and such.  Agian fun, and with a character that shpuld have been in Playstaion All Stars Battle Royale.

For PSN:
Hydrophobia: The Prophecy
Kind of a action adventure/disaster survival game.  You play as a young woman aboard a futuristic ship that is slowly being sunk by terrorists. It got mixed reviews when it came out, but so far I'm enjoying it.
