What have you beaten recently? What are you playing?

I love GRID, I'm about 3/4 the way through it right now, haven't played in a while though. I recently started playing Burnout Paradise, it's a great way to have so random, high speed, crashing fun .

I am trying, REALLY hard, to get into Fallout New Vegas but it's boring me half to death - am I missing something (everyone seems to be raving about the game) or have I just gotten too used to fast paced instant gratification with the COD games I've been beating to death recently....

or have I just gotten too used to fast paced instant gratification with the COD games I've been beating to death recently....

Probably. As a test to confirm, try Fallout 3. I will admit New Vegas doesn't do quite as well in the character-development department. It's still a great game though!

Finally finished Bioshock 2.

It was quite funny. I had been playing on my desktop gaming rig and had not played for a while. I got a new laptop last year and have been playing games on that for quite a while. Well I decided to move my gaming rig into a new water cooled case and before I did, I went through the process of backing up all my save game data and all my personal files (very few since that rig is only for gaming). Burned a couple of data CD's for easy access and them started moving the parts. I then loaded Bioshock 2 on the laptop, down loaded the updates and then moved my save games onto the laptop. I fire up the game and continue from where I left off and got about 15 minutes in before I finished the game....

LOL!

I spent hours prepping to play the game only to finish in 15 minutes... hehe

Beat Bayonetta again, this time on Hard. I didn't notice any framerate problems on Normal, but it definitely comes through on Hard.

Now to beat it on infinite climax. Haven't wanted to play through a game this many times in a long time (since the original Ninja Gaiden on xbox), but I enjoy the fighting in this game. I just skip through the cut scenes as I just watched them the first time through.

Finished downloading Test Drive Unlimited 2 through Steam this morning, awesome game and it looks great, even though my laptop can only run it at nearly medium lol.

anyway, i recently finished up redneck rampage. i spent years collecting just the right hardware to get it run properly. yay dos 6.2!!!

next up is redneck rampage, suckin' grits on route 66.

Anyone risked C&C4? Biggest disappointment since Oblivion for me (yes I didn't love Oblivion, it just wasn't good enough to succeed Morrowind which was perfect!) I also made the unfortunate mistake of buying this game off Ebay for £2.25 so of course it ha already been linked to someone else's account making it unplayable... Luckily I got the guy to provide his details and was able to play all the way through the GDI campaign before the password he gave me stopped working

Anyway, I was prepared for it's crappy, non-C&C formula way before I bought it thanks to every single preview and review of the game slating it. Still hard to believe just how much they've managed to ruin such an amazing franchise though. And it's not like they were trying something new for the future either as this was the final game of the series! There is no justification either by the devs or in the game itself as to why all these ridiculous changes have occured.

Red Alert has always been the camp game in the franchise, no.3 was absolutely gushing! So why all of a sudden did they decide that the Tiberium series needed an infusion of gayness as well? I actually ranted about this game on another site so much that it was considered a review by the other members there :p

Anyway, the only thing I found worth doing in this game was grinding for achievements so I'm not too disappointed that I can't complete the Nod campaign. Kane wins in the end of the GDI campaign anyway so what's the point of this game? And how can it be the last game if SPOILER he reopens the gate and invites the aliens to return at the end?

On a side note, I've been trying to play GTA4, Episodes from Liberty City (on PC) but it lags terribly even though the main game is perfectly fine. Google tells me that thousands of people have the same issue but last time I checked there was no solution so I guess that was a waste of money. AND it's another game that requires linking to an account so I had to mess around cracking it ebfore I could even play the damn thing.

To follow the theme, I also bought East India Company as a trade-in from Gamestation (UK store) and that required account verification as well so no dice! What's the deal with all this verification, protection and other various bull? Like it's enough to stop people making illegal copies of it anyway, just takes longer to do (I'm not condoning or supporting this mind you) It's just a cheap trick to force people to buy the game new as once it's been used then it's completely worthless to everyone but the initial buyer.

Bah, rant over...
