It's more or less the Portal: Still Alive map pack that's on 360, but free! So it's almost official and really really good.

In the middle of playing the original Mass Effect game on PC. And looooving it. Graphics look a bit dated to me, but the storyline is fantastic, and there's a lot of depth to the game that I'm enjoying. One of the main effects it's having is that I can't wait to play the next one...and recently found out there's supposed to be a third one sometime, plus a bunch of downloadable stuff for each one...
Also having fun playing Grid, although i need something other than the keyboard. Thinking about getting a wheel when I can afford it, I'm not big on gamepads, and a wheel would be fun...
Games I've bought but have yet to start (got most of these on Steam during their holiday sale):
Portal, Bioshock, Stalker Chernobyl, Dirt, Dirt 2, and a whole bunch of others I'm forgetting at the moment...

I also got my Cupcake award for beating 2 of the advanced maps.
I also beat Wanted on Monday. Fun game! The whole church map I entirely forgot about curving bullets and kept getting wasted running up the steps. I didn't even remember until I had beaten the game.. DOH!
Still to finish:
Fallout 3 (keep getting bored...)
Mercenaries 2 (same thing, keep getting bored doing the same stuff)
Mirrors Edge (get frustrated on some of the jumps and I give up for a while)
Bioshock 2 (I keep forgetting to save and have to redo a bunch of stuff...)
I think I have a few others... Man i waste a lot of time gaming...
Just got Doom 64. I bought this game about ten years ago and it was a broken copy. So I can FINALLY play the game. One of the only Doom games I haven't played.
Anybody want me to record a playthrough of the game?
one strategy I loved using in the older Doom games was running into a room stuffed full of baddies, and trying to run between them such that they'd end up attacking each other. Go hide or keep running around, then pick off the survivors. Pretty effective technique usually. too bad newer games' AI's are better....*sigh....
Eh, "better" is debatable. I mean if you think about it how is a game with a bunch of dumb henchmen, or zombies able to never hit each other, or if they do hit each other how are they smart enough to know who hit them is on their side? I can understand some games not using the system, but some games would benefit from the classic Doom infighting system if you ask me. It can act as a very tricky way to promote ammo conservation in limited ammo type shooters, and add a new toy in the "shoot everything" games so you don't get bored.
Just my thoughts... But what do I know? I still prefer first-person games over third...
Incoming wall of text.
Recently started playing AC2 and finished last night. I enjoyed the first one, but the second one brought a lot more elements to the game.
The only real gripe I have about the game are the controls. I assume they are better optimized for a console controller. Little annoying to learn what key goes to each symbol but I got it down pretty fast. I found it most annoying when my char would just jump the wrong way or attempt to jump off a building and instead just fall and grasp the edge. Oh and the damn bars that you swing off of. I still dont know the proper way to swing off them. I usually ended up spamming space bar, then hold it until I got some kind of momentum...and eventually made the swing off. I dont think I have ever gotten so pissed at controls before.
/end rant about annoying controls
On the plus side, I really enjoyed "upgrading" my city and buying weapons/armor. The flying missions and horse carriage mission were probably my favorite. The biggest improvment of AC2 over AC1 was all the differnet ways to assassinate people. The smoke and posion knifes were a cool idea but I never used them.
Overall I really liked the game except for the controls with a keyboard/mouse.
Cliffs:
Finished AC2
Really hated the controls
Horse carriage and flying were my favorite missions
Enjoyed all the new ways to assassinate people
Found smoke and poison usless to me
I really enjoyed the beginning intro gameplay and story to AC1, but just stopped playing it once they dropped you out onto your own, where you have to ride your horse forever to some other place. The game just felt better to me when they gave you more guidance. Shame I couldn't stick with it as I got similar feelings during the story portions outside the memories as I did the first time I played HL2.
Just started ODST. Playing for the first time. Recording and uploading as I go. Although I can't make the videos public until Sunday. It is a surprise for my Fiancee. I turned her into a Halo nut not long ago...
Just finished the original Mass Effect. Sadly I don't have the $$ right now to fork over for the sequel...but wow what a game. tons of fun, and I'll be playing the downloadable mission tonight...
also makes me want to run out and get Dragon Age and its expansion...
