    Been playing on Left 4 Dead with week warming up for when the DLC comes out.

    Also I tryed out the Castlevania Lords Of Shadow demo what can I say it's good but the demo was too short but still good.

    Battlefield Bad Company 2. I'm boosting online with a friend of mine. Trying to get that damn Demolition man trophy. I wanna platinum this game. Then I'm back off to Dead Rising 2 and Dragon Age: Origins.

    I've dabbled with SMT: Imagine. With a Mac-based keyboard it's definitely not as easy to perform some of the commands. Nonetheless I enjoy all the connections to the first two SMT games, such as most of the music (Valhalla's BGM, the fight music, etc). I want to get into it but I'm tied up w/ class and other games, I should buy the software that allows my Mac to play it some time.

    I've been playing a few things:
    -Dead Space 2 multiplayer...oh wait I'm not because I can't get into a freakin' match (plus I'm in a PS3-less Canada right now). Still, it's a fun experience, simple and tight. Playing as necromorphs is harder but fun when your team actually does well. A lot of people rely on the ranged attacks (you can play as a lurker and a female slasher) but they forget that most of the necromorphs' threat is their number. Play as two packs (packs are those new toddler necromorphs who group, run at Isaac and claw the shit out of him) and that's a kill.

    -Still SMT: Nocturne. I'm going through a lot of hair pulling bosses, chalk it up to the difficulty on hard and the optional dungeon. By optional I mean fleshes out the story in a way the normal, "avoid side quests" ending doesn't. Gah.

    -Devil May Cry 2. This one puts me to sleep, especially after beating DMC1 on normal for the first time. Back when it released, I wasn't patient enough to have kept track of enemy patterns. I used easy automatic, and I avoided the rest of the series. Silly me. Well, being that I'd rather talk about the first one, that shows you how much I care about DMC2. Lazy, nonsensical gameplay (open areas and half dead enemies? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!), bland environments, etc. It's fun in some respects but it isn't DMC1 at all.

    Still playing System Shock 2, really liking it! I'd heard of it before as being a good survival horror game, then when Bioshock came along and people were pointing to it as a precursor i decided to finally give it a try, and it really is obvious that Irrational re-used a good few elements from it in the Bioshock series! If you like Bioshock you'll probably like SS2 (if you can get past the slow, clunky controls which is its biggest problem), it's basically Bioshock set in 2114 in space.

    Currently being mildly terrified by Alan Wake. I swear, Taken everywhere. My usual tactic of backing away slowly while shooting the bad guy doesn't work because usually, two more Taken show up behind me. And they run as fast as I do!

    Still, up to Episode Five and doing the Helicopter plan. Having seen what the Taken Crows do to Helicopters, I whole heartedly disagree with this plan.

    Playing Dead Rising 2 and gave the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood beta a try. ACB is one of those games where multiplayer is attached just for the sake of riding the "let's have multi!" theme.

    There was only one mode open, and many things about it bothered me. Once a character is selected, no one else can pick them. I know this wouldn't bother some people since in the Wanted mode, any hit is a one hit kill so its not like anyone has any real advantage. Another is the fact that you can kill your target, and the person stalking you can simply wait until you go in for the kill and get you in the few moments after the kill animation where you cannot do anything. I found that to be the breaker for me. Once people began to figure it out, it became the new way to camp. And I found it too easy to miss your target, even when being locked on to them. If a passerby so much as gets an arm in front of you when you attack, you end up killing them and spoiling your chance to get your proper kill. So yeah...ACB may be one of those games I get a few months after the release,but I certainly wont be getting it for the multiplayer.

    Playing Dead Rising 2 as well. Finally got around to buying the Shivering Isles for Oblivion and made one small mistake by not saving at a point where I could finish the game out, but oh well, it was a fun enough add on that I could play it again anyway.

    Playing Dead Space now, not sure if i'll bother finishing it, finding it pretty boring and the PC port is just god awful, whoever allowed this thing to be released should be fired.

    Most reviews i had read said this was a "terrifying game", it's not, it's a startling game. Things jumping out and going "boo" is not scary, it's just startling, there's a big difference and it wears pretty thin after the first few times. I don't know why games today just can't get the feel of older horror games, i think with the advances in technology it's just easier to throw a bunch of random jumps and scares at the player to get the adrenaline going but that's not really scary. Before developers would have to really think about how to make the limited technology they had scary, how to really fuck with the players head whilst showing very little. Now it's just a matter of having a handful of things jump out and attack the player every so often. Hopefully some developer will make a real horror game again rather than these action orientated games posing as horror games.

    Anyway, mini rant over, i have to restart my computer now thanks to the shitty ass porting job they did with this which knocks my sound out every time i exit the game.

    Well I just started Devil May Cry 3 after the abortive sophomore effort (Lucia's disc was essentially 3 and a half hours) and as everyone seemed to hint at, it's the sequel (or prequel) DMC1 deserved. Fuck me, it's even harder than the first one. I look forward to continuing with it and having more bald spots on my scalp.

    When that's finished, I just picked up DMC4 and Bayonetta. I can't tell you how excited I am to play this style of game in a current gen context.

    Currently plaing killing floor with my friend, and in between Lost Planet 2 and finishing veteran on Modern Warfare 2. All I can say that I love being the commando class in killing floor and heart the SCAR/grenade launcher/katana combo. Great wave game.

    Oh gawd, we should play Mercs Reunion too. XD Those fun days grinding in Versus were awful. But yeah, that'll be awesome! I'll be on after school so we can rock some worlds.

    Fable 2

    F's a hatrick by coincidence only, blame MS for screwing up in a good way for once, Fable 2 is free to download on the marketplace (or at least was for a few days).
