360'rs - What are you playing???

Yeah, I'm liking it so far now. Oblivion is superior but this game is great. I just had my character have sex with a gay man while the wife was at home taking care of the kid. lol shits hilarious.
 
Halo Reach more commonly, but downloaded the Homefront mp demo and it has captured my attention.
 
A mix of halo, fallout: new vegas, and some mass effect. I love sci fi, lol.
 
I have been playing dirt 3, im enjoying it, the racing is pretty good and easy, but when you go into the gymkhana stuff, its gets pretty hard

i also got the 1st disc of LA Noire, i cant wait to give it a go.
 
im hoping that gamefly sends me bulletstorm next. if they do we should play together :D
 
Playing Assassin's Creed 2 again. Trying to get 100% this time.

and LA Noire, which so far is boring me.
 
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

I can't help but feel that this series has been made progressively easier... and this has to be the easiest yet.

There's very, very little sense of any tension while walking around the city. You can literally bump into every Borgia guard and nothing happens to you... aside from being comedically pushed around. It won't provoke a fight or any real danger. Essentially, you're never in any danger while on the streets.

Compare that to the slightly edgier guards in Assassins Creed II who would have a go at you if you bumped into them or somebody carrying a box, etc. Then compare that to the near-constant paranoia of the first Assassins Creed, where if you even walked too close to a guard (never mind bumping into them), you'd be assaulted by seven or eight nutters perpetually stabbing you. I miss that sense of danger.

The fact that you also have a small army of 10 or 12 assassins to call upon when you are in a fight, just makes the whole thing far, far too easy. That's not to say that all of the developments are completely unwelcome. The crossbow brings a new dimension to the tactics... but all the weaponry available to Ezio makes parts of the game redundant: What's the point of the weaker throwing knives when you have the crossbow? Why use the gun when a crossbow is quieter? Why bother getting close to a target when you can shoot them discreetly with a poisoned dart? etc, etc, etc...

I think the series needs a bit of a re-think. Stripping things back to the bare essentials would be welcome, but I doubt Assassins Creed Revelations will do that. Unfortunately, I suspect Assassins Creed III will probably be even more technologically convoluted, assuming we end up playing as Desmond in the present day.
 
Having a splendid time playing through the co-op levels in Portal 2 with a friend. :)

It's really just an unbelievably unique and awesome experience to be able to cooperatively solve these crazy puzzles in this 3D virtual world with a companion.
 
i'm playing fallout 3 game of the year edition, trying to complete every quest. i beat fallout 3 already but deleted my saves so i could work on a level 30 character. i'm level 16 right now.
the fallout series (not including tactics or brotherhood of steel) is my favorite series of all time.

i wanna get new vegas but i've read it's broken without a patch and i don't have live.

also playing:
duke nukem forever (far better than the 45 percent average rating on gamerankings.)
nba jam (kick ass)
dj hero 2
saint's row 2 (wanna finish it before saint's row 3)
 
I'm 3 hours into Dead Space, and I like it, but it's not a fantastic game for me.

I don't like the design of the main character, the guns are so-so, and the creatures are always the same.

But the design of the ship is great, the telekinesis and the other power too, and the music and the sound design are fantastic.

All in all, I'll go back to the game 'cause I want to finish it.
 
MK, SF4 and MvC3...
I really for some reason dont have interest in anything until gears 3 comes out

i like sports games so ill get those, but thats about it.
 
on the rare occasion i get some x360 time, i just chil with a rerun through gta4, even though i have plenty of games i haven't completed, some i haven't even really started. i just love cruising liberty city mucking about between completing missions. with so much on my plate in real life, i don't need the added stress of trying hard to complete stages.
 
mass effect 2.

mining minerals from planets is fucking dull but i need to get it done, fuck sake... playing video games should not feel like a chore.
 
Just got this the other day. Amazing game.

Indeed it is man, really enjoying the X-ray moves too %) It's a shame it's actually banned here in Australia...All my mate's keep busting my balls to borrow it hahaha.
