General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

Just recovered my gamertag on Xbox live. Girlfriend bought one so I just did a recovery. I'm back in action...well sort of. I just have my arcade games, Saints Row 2 and GTA4 with no head set. So it's just messaging shit for now.
 
Armed Assault 2, bit buggy and there's typos all over the place - but seems like good fun. At least it'll be better than Operation Flashpoint 2, heh.
 
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

I liked the first one despite its flaws, and this utterly blows it away. Best Old Western-themed FPS I've played... Well... Perhaps ever.
 
Just finished the Ghostbusters. Very enjoyable, though not revolutionary. I can recommend it to all (with a strong enough rig).

hehehe, yeah i noticed that you had appeared on my friend list.
damn, wanted to change my gamertag. but wtf, 800 ms points?

I think that service should be free at least. At least that considering Live already costs money.

Also. Have they all the sudden started making 360's better? This one doesn't get hot. Doesn't overheat at all. Doesn't freeze. No pop in with GTA4. It's like working like it's suppose to and it's only one of the cheap arcades.

actually, the best xbox 360 are those arcade versions. the new ones. they have the jasper motherboard and 65 nm chips.
 
Right now playing Clive Barker's Undying, really nice game, quite creepy.

Also, for the gamertag problem, send a message to people you know telling them to file a complaint on your name, enough complaints and you'll get a forced name-change, at least that's how most people generally change their tag when they don't feel like paying ten friggin dollars just to change their moniker.

Aside from just getting money I don't see why they charge to change your name. I've heard people say something like everyone would be all jumbled up and it'd be hard to keep track, but hey, if you change your name and you feel the need to, just send a quick message saying "Hey, this is X, my new little tag is Y".

Also yeah, as Serge said the 360s are getting better with different mobos and stuff.

Eh? Those aren't restricted to just Arcades.

Also, seriously, which 360 you have doesn't matter much as long it was made in the last year-and-a-half or so. The old ones were pretty crappy and unreliable, nowadays it doesn't matter.
 
I'm playing BlazBlue right now. It's fun.

But I just beat Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood a little while ago, it's fun, but it's a might bit short and I don't like playing FPS' online.
 
I'm just blazing my way through Resistance: Fall of Man. Pretty sweet game, but I'm really just focusing on multiplayer.
 
Just picked up cod5 with a friend, since there is a distinct lack of coop games that we haven't beaten several times over already. We're destroying the coop campaign on veteran, and it's pretty fun. Feels really familiar though.

My biggest gripe is how easy it is. I wish they'd have significantly increased the damage you take on coop, to counteract the ability to revive your teammate.
 
Trine :




Best game I've played in years...
3 Players coop is also a lot of fun. It's a total mess but really great.
It's also damn pretty.
 
Currently playing Overlord2 and loving every second of it. I didn't expect to enjoy it this much, so definitely one of these years favorites and probably classic to. Man the game is very similar to Dungeon Keeper in Fable like world filled with dark humor.
 
Just finished:

- Dawn of War 2
- Crysis
- Crysis Warhead
- CoD 4 Modern Warfare (singleplayer)
- Fable


Right now:

- Titan Quest Immortal Throne
- C&C 3: Tiberium Wars + Kane's Wrath
- Mass Effect
- Plants vs Zombies
- CoD 4 Modern Warfare (multiplayer, and I kick ass)


Will play still this year:

- C&C Red Alert 3 + Uprising
- Assassin's Creed
- Bioshock
- Braid
- Riddick Assault on Dark Athena
- The Witcher
- Lost Planet Extreme Condition


Will not play:

- Fallout 3. Yes, I'm still free from contamination and will remain so :mrgreen:
 
So I've completed The Lost and Damned finally now that I can. It was good. Strange ending that left me feeling kinda....wrong in a right kinda way. Revenge is always a weird feeling.
I am looking into getting Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines now that I have a computer to play it on. $20 doesn't seem bad. As I've read here and other places, I may have to patch it with fan made patches and the like.
So stupid question. If I get Vampire off of steam, would I be able to use these patches?
