Minicraft.
Only problem? No save feature!
Finished playing Trine 2 with my brother today. Slightly disappointed with the ending, it felt so easy for a final boss/levelm especially compared to Trine. I remember it took us a good number of tries to do the final level. I also missed picking up items opposed to reading scrolls from chests...it just felt so much more exciting to open a chest and finding an item I guess lol. I can't really comment on the game length of Trine 2 v Trine cause I played on offline mode and it didn't track time but it did feel a little longer. The graphics are definitely still beautiful and they added a few new environments but gameplay wise, I think I enjoyed the first Trine a lot more. I don't know if it's how they designed the game or just how my brother and I played, but it felt like we used the wizard 90% of the time to levitate each other across obstacles whereas in Trine the wizard was used more for actually creating boxes/planks/triangles to navigate through the game (if that makes sense). Overall, Trine 2 is fun, but I don't see myself replaying it like I did with Trine and probably wouldn't recommend buying it for $15.
I'm playing RAGE, and Duke Nukem Forever right now. Took advantage of the buy-two-get-one at Gamestop, and used $50 in gift cards. Still had twenty cents left...
Liking RAGE. Seems like a heck of a long game!
Duke Nukem wasn't worth a 12+ year wait as a fan, but it is still a good laugh, and fun. Although only two weapons is ticking me off...
Beat Bastion. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Got a bit samey near the end, though they do give you quite a few weapons to change it up a bit, and you can invoke the idols to make it more challenging if you'd like.
Just beat Read Faction: Guerilla. Now to download Read Faction: Armageddon!
These days I’m playing COD MW 3. I have just completed “Hunter Killer” mission and now playing on “Persona Non Grata”.
I beat Tiny Bang Story a few days ago. Really good, although quite easy, game. I would recommend it to anyone trying to get a child or SO into gaming, especially point-and-click adventure games.
I typically just play the same games I know and love for forever, which is why I still play TF2, L4D2 and others often even though there are plenty of newer games out.
But at the same time I need to work through my Steam library. I have . . . let's see here . . . 155 games and I've beaten maybe 20 of them. Some I will never beat. I got them in bundles of cheap stuff and they are just not fun. Others I got bored and will probably never finish either. But there are a bunch that I've just never played even. I'm thinking I should start up a gaming podcast of sorts where I help other poor gamers like me (oh the irony in that statement) by making videos whenever there's a good sale or when there's a Humble Bundle, as well as reviewing games and free games, and old games, and giving tips on how to get good deals on computer parts.
For now though, I'm playing NightSky and it's proving to be pretty good, but doesn't hold my attention for long.
I have been playing Revenge of the Titans. Game got super addicting, was pretty hard too! Starting to get a little boring though.
What irritated me most about that game was that you could make a mistake in your upgrade tree early and it really screws you later. Same with money. Since it carries from one mission to the next you can do really well early and use it later when you really need it. But without it the game is nearly impossible. I think I need to restart.Quote:

Just started Duke Nukem Forever. It is such a good laugh. Still, I can see the fail in the game mechanics even. I have been enjoying it though, I only paid 5 bucks for the game haha can't complain at all.
Recently finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a very enjoyable game. I started playing GTA 3 on the PC as well, very very fun game :D.
Played MOH (again!) and finished the game (again!)...this time trying the Tier 1 mode (again! - but never completed) - 4th try! Also playing Gears of War 3 :D
Just started Duke Nukem as well. Kind of a flashback to the originals (the only shareware games I ever paid for outright).Quote:

I have to try and get my money back for that game. Fry's won't take it back because it is open and I used the key. Steam has not responded yet and neither has bethesda... May have to go Duke Nukem on em...
I have just beaten “God of War 2” and these days I am playing “God of war 3” on my PS3, and it’s very hard to play.
Been playing Sims 3, I enjoy doing legacy challenges (trying to see what can be accomplished in multiple generations) and killing off the excess sims that multiple generations create.
just loaded up call of cthulhu and found my 5 year old save game on my server. thank goodness i don't have to escape the deep ones in the hotel again.
Last game was FFIV on psp. I beat the game but haven't finished the bonus area for all characters. Edge's part is a real pain. I've been annoyed with it so I haven't worked on it in a while. I mostly play Guild Wars and will be playing Guild Wars 2. There is no release date set yet, but have the pre-order (Kayin bought it for me as a birthday gift) so I get to play during preview weekends.
I just got Nuclear Dawn and love it. It's pretty fun and the games can go for a long time. The only thing I hate about it is that there's only so much you can do as one person, so you can go and kill lots of people on one side of the map and recap a bunch of points, but then you're stuck as one class, so you can't also destroy all the buildings on that side of the map, and while I'm doing that it seems that the rest of my team can't keep a handle on the other side of the map.
Really the biggest weakness of the game is that a crappy commander will really kill your team, no matter how good they are as FPS players.
Still, it's so fun to play.
Just finished Medal of Honor, Crysis 2, DoWII. Currently playing Assassin's Creed Revalations and DoWII Chaos Rising.
I've played Halflife, Halflife 2, and Episodes 1&2 over the past week. It's so good.
Just beat Crysis 2 and Crysis Warhead
I still have yet to play Crysis. Need to get on that. I played the crap out of Plants vs. Zombies trying to get all the achievements. Only need two more but got bored with it, now I am back to Finishing the F.E.A.R. games.
I'm thinking of retrying Rage
Man, every time I try Rage I always just end up getting angry.
... :D :whistler:

I see what you did there...
I'm working my way through Halflife 2 again. Getting back into City 17 and the squad combat portion... fun stuff. I have had Episode 1 for forever and didn't finish it. I intend to do so after HL2.
I recently (last month?) played through all the Halflife games. Really fun experience.Quote:

I'm working on soldering up an X1 controller so I can play it a little better.
(Thanks again TGS!)
I played Super Monday Combat (free to play) up to level 20.
The Good: It's pretty fun. It's a little hard to figure out at first, and the tutorial level isn't that great, but once you start to get the hang of it it's really quite fun to play and even at a relatively low level I was doing quite well on my teams. It essentially is . . . Dota played from a 3rd person perspective view, but not quite. It's a tower defense with heroes that can level. The concept is nice and it's much easier to understand than Monday Night Combat is. MNC is difficult. I get online and will die a million times, even when I'm trying to be careful and play smart. People can just come in and kill you really easily and you never see it coming and have no time to react or escape. Super MNC is a real step forward from its predecessor as far as gameplay and mechanics are concerned.
The bad: There's something I really hate about most free-to-play games, and it's particularly bad in Super MNC. Let's say that I like the game, and want to give the developers money so that I can have access to all the game's content. Well, that's going to cost me $160. Since when has any game ever been worth $160? It's completely insane. It's one of those things that really disenfranchises the people who are probably the biggest fans of gaming and games. I would happily pay $30 for everything in game, but wouldn't be surprised or angry if they were asking $50, which is the cost of most modern games. But instead they make it too expensive for a person to actually buy the game. It's an irritating trend and I see it dying soon. Too many companies are going to jump on the bandwagon and go broke from it.
^It NEARLY happened with VVVVVV. Originally came out at $15. People were saying it's a great, quick game, with some frustrations...
But some were saying $15 was a little overpriced for a platformer.
Got reduced to $5.
I can see every Valve game for $160. An entire game? A single, entire game? NO.
Playing Diablo III right now, loving it.
finished diablo 3 on nightmare difficulty last night.
I'm halfway through act 3 on nightmare myself. Just got my staff or herding all crafted as well.
Finally sat down and got through to Act II Hell as a demon hunter. Having fun though I'm skeptical about whether it's engaging enough for me to keep plowing through after I hit Inferno :/
Finally played Portal 2. Was a blast! This is, in fact the first newer game I've gotten to play on my new computer. It played it great!
Well, I've solod my way through Diablo 3 in Hell now. And yeah, it's fun but it's missing something. I'm going to have to agree with Rock Paper Shotgun on this one.
Also, Skyrim I've played through three times. And I can see myself giving it another playthrough in a year or so. Such a good game.
Just beat Mass Effect 3 with a new character. Working on Mass Effect currently. I have #2 in the mail on its way so I can import from 1 then beat 2 then import to 3 and beat it. I love these games and wish I had known about them before. And I haven't had to really spend to much on them, ME1 I got with the remainder of a rebate gift card from my cell phone, 2 was paid for using Amazon Gift Cards earned through swagbucks.com. And I got ME3 used for $25 at the local game store. Guy even rung it up wrong, it was marked $35. I went back and showed him the mistake he was like, "I'll split the difference with you if you've got $5." I didn't have five on me so he said, "Eh just come back and be a loyal customer" Can't really beat that. Now I'm working on earning some more amazon cards so I can get the Microsoft points to get the online code for ME3 so I can try out the Multiplayer modes.
Just finished getting all achievements in Costume Quest. It's a classic turn-based RPG. It's totally a Halloween game and it's pretty fun. It's short, but sweet. Any longer and I would have started getting bored.
I'm not sure what I want to do next. Maybe Psychonauts.
