Unfortunately the community for MW2 seems to be getting even worse. My friends and I probably encounter at least one hacker in 90% of the games we join. Unlike a lot of people I really enjoy the game, especially with friends, but it is getting harder and harder to actually have fun with so many hackers and laggy servers (always seems like the worst host possible gets chosen)
I finally got around to playing Mirror's Edge last weekend, and I think I'm in love. :D I've had it for a while (picked it up on a Steam sale for something like $4-5), but never got around to playing it...until now.. I think this is the most fun I've had in a game for a long, long time. It's also very refreshing to play a fun, well-designed game, with a well-thought-out plot, that doesn't have combat comprise 90+% of the gameplay. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good FPS as much as the next guy, but it's nice to see something different. And apparently we're going to get another one! :D
That really was an excellent game.Quote:

I just finished Left for Dead 2 and Portal (currently doing the challenges).
Finally got around to finishing the last two missions to the Starcraft II campaign.
My time has been split up between several things over the last few weeks/months.
Off and On:
TF2
360 MW2
League of Legends
Campaign:
Dirt 2 w/ my wheel. Much better experience this time with a wheel compared to the controller. Only play single player as I had way too much first corner frustrations with Forza/Forza2. Racing games are now single player only for me. Don't need the rage, lol.
Dragon Age: Origins. Really enjoying this game a lot. It takes a lot of what I loved about Neverwinter Nights and streamlined it in a good way ( at least for me. I'm not super hardcore ).
Have to finish Red Dead Redemption campaign sometime along.
Beat: Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.
Interesting game. Kept me playing all the way through (campaign, that is). Ending seemed a bit anti-climactic. Gave me my fix for arcade flight games though. Haven't tried the multiplayer, if anyone even still plays it.
Have to give props to the no DRM other than a cd key for multiplayer. Why Ubisoft jumped from that to the always online DRM within a couple months beats me. Ehh, I enjoyed not having any hassles.
I'm still chompin at MW2, and eagerly awaiting Black Ops :D
I also play flight sim x and Sim city occasionally, as well as L4D2 and Portal. I've completed portal, just play when I'm bored for challenges. L4D2 is ok, never got too into it, but it's fun once in a while
I got bored recently and started replaying the older NFS games on Gamecube. I have already played through and finished Underground, Underground 2 and Carbon. I am currently halfway through Most Wanted.
started playin some Halo Reach. pretty fun game so far.
Pfff! n00b! Now I'm gonna go break out my circa 1996 copy of The Need for Speed: Special Edition. Now that's some real old school NFS action. DirectX 2. Hells yeah! :DQuote:

Yes I do mean NFS 3 Hot Pursuit. I too am looking forward to the new version, it will be awesome!
I downloaded NFS World today and had a play around with it. It's actually pretty fun and for a 750MB download I am pretty impressed with the graphics and such.
don't forget midtown madness!!
Finally got around to beating Super Mario Galaxy 2. Pretty good game. Improved on the first, but I didn't get the whoa feeling the first brought.
Still working on Fallout: New Vegas, and I'll have to get back to my Dragon Age save sometime along.
I am still HORRIBLY addicted to StarCraft 2. Although the new WoW expansion coming out looks.... tempting....
Got around to getting God of War 1 and finally finishing it. The 720p remaster for PS3 looks much better than the original, though some of the videos haven't been changed.
Just finished Demon's Souls. AWESOME game. Pretty challenging too. People weren't lying about the difficulty. Finishing the game was such a rewarding experience. Very few times as of late have I walked away from a game, shoot or even just a single level / portion of a level, and felt such a sense of accomplishment and content. Just a great experience, and one I will be playing through the years over and over again.
just bought left 4 dead 2... have to say its pretty fun. anyone on live have this game? if so lets play. my gamertag is my s/n. :)
Steam for me.Quote:

I am going to buy it for pc too, soon as I get one put together that will handle it. soon... soon... (insert evil cackle here)
I play L4D2 frequently over LAN with my bro, it's pretty fun but the novelty wares off pretty quickly.
Been playing Resident Evil 5. Got it on the 11th during the buy two get one free sale Gamestop was doing. Got it using a gift card that I got for my Birthday on the 10th.
Anyway, I've beat it once. Playing it again right now. Working on getting any missed treasure/weapons, maxing out weapons, and trying to do all that in under 5 hours. After that I'm going to do it again on Veteran, and try to get all the emblems.
Need to get RE4 now.
Beat the remastered God of War 2. Didn't like it as much as the first. The combat is all there, but his character seems different. I mean, you know he's an ass from the first game, but his motives seemed more reasonable. Still a good game though.
Almost finished with 3D Dot Game Heroes. Sweet game. Like a new version of the original Zelda, but with a meets Minecraft style graphics. Really really enjoying it, and plenty of sidequests to keep you busy with NG+ modes.
Playing Metal Gear Solid (ps1) on the ps3 now. Good ol' nostalgia.
yeah, I find that it is pretty fun for about 3 or 4 hours... then gets old. I have yet to play it on live or on steam yet though, just co-op on the 360.Quote:

I don't play enough for the slight deviations the director sends the horde goes right above me. It always seems like the same thing, and just a bit monotonous after a while. I wish the campaign had more depth, but then if you do that you can't necessarily use the levels directly in multiplayer.
Guess part of me is just jonesing for a new Valve single player focused game. They are generally the only games I will go out of my way to pay full price for on day one.
Episode 3'll be here any day now....any day now...well, I can hope anyway. :DQuote:

Finished up 3D Dot Game Heroes. Really enjoyed that one. A bit generic, but was old school brought back in a fresh way. So much extra quests I can go back and do too.
But, Demon's Souls keeps calling me even though I beat it already. I can't think of any game really, well recently anyway, that has drawn me back and made me want to play it over and over again. This one has. I quite like this one. Already halfway through another play through. Nice having time to just relax a bit with classes over.
I beat Storm King, Tower Knight, Flamelurker, and Dragon God in Demon's Souls all without dying. The counts as an accomplishment to me, lol.
Then I walked into the Penetrator fight and got one shotted. Also forgot to save Biorr.
Those with PS3's need to at the very least try this game.
Just beaten:
Helo 3
Left 4 Dead Campaigns
God of War 2
Currently playing:
Call of Duty: Black ops
Fallout 3
Dirt 2
Grand theft Auto
Lots of fun games for Christmas + free time = many games played and beaten.
Beat God of War III.
Great ending to the series. Game was beautiful. The art direction and the huge battles were awesome. The movement of the quicktime buttons to their respective side of the screen made them much easier to pull off. Just a fun game.
Started Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Liking it so far. Very whimsical.
I am currently playing a game I recently brought off of Steam called Eufloria, its pretty fun, I recommend downloading the demo if you have the time.
got back into sc2, playing 2s and 3s. working towards my achieves and portraits again. got back into project entropia again, but they updated it with the crytek engine and changed it now... pretty fun but still very similar. fighting the temptation to get back into wow...
Just beat Crysis and Crysis Warhead, got them on the Steam Christmas sale and I have had lots of free time. Not that the single player is very long. I am just getting into the sandbox editor to see what I can do.
Also bought Wings of Prey and the F.E.A.R. Pack. Working on those later.
Just got StarOcean: The Last Hope. Here's to hoping for another epic RPG...
if its in the star ocean series you can bet good money it will be. :up:Quote:

Just finished Mafia II. Now to decide if I want to get the DLC's since they are currently on sale on Steam.
/edit: Decided to get the DLC's (Joe's Adventure, Jimmy's Vendetta, Greaser Pack, and Renegade Pack). Figured it will be worth it considering it only cost about $7
I got a couple gamestop giftcards for xmas. Instead of one new game, I picked up quite a few used games. Normally I'd like to support the developers where I can but I couldn't ignore the savings with b2g1 free. All PS3 Games.
Gift from fiance:
Ratchet and Clank : Tools of Destruction -in progress
Ninja Gaiden Sigma -in progress (played the original on xbox over 9000 times, lol).
Metal Gear Solid 4
Haul from the Giftcards:
Killzone 2
Ridge Racer 7
Untold Legends
Valkyria Chronicles
Nier
Bayonetta
Sweet! This should keep me busy for a long while =).
