Currently playing if I have any free time
This is just recent stuff owned trying to get through in one way or once again, not counting the games I get through Gamefly for the 360 to try out instead of buying them & no order to what's being played.
List items
-
1. Brütal Legend
As epic as this is & having about 1/2 the soundtrack for years to listen to glorious metal, I'll play a few other games & come back to play it again just because it's EPIC.
-
2. Blood Plasma Pak
Incredibly big thanks to Dosbox for letting this work :). This Blood franchise is one of my favorites of all time & was always sad on not being able to play it until discovering Dosbox.
-
3. The Orange Box
Really hard to fight the urge to play Portal or TF2 when trying to learn the level editor toolkit on the PC version I also have.
-
4. Unreal Tournament 3
Spending more time on this learning the editor than the game itself. Not a big fan of the big bulky armor look on the PC version of the majority of the people & please Epic don't give the uber impact hammer a spot in a game ever again or the guns you get, at least with UT2k4 I could at least use the shield gun & machine gun when you start the match, the hammer/pistol in UT3 bites.
-
5. Torchlight
Fun but still vexed about the achievements not being retroactive last time I checked, I can see where it keeps track of all this but can't go into the one retired character to convince it that I finished the main story with him.
-
6. Borderlands
Fun as hell.
-
7. Painkiller
Simple yet deadly, would be nice to see the one airborne multiplayer mode in other games (where only time you can kill others is in the air).
-
8. Darkwatch
After finding the art book I want to go back to this game I finished on the Xbox to get another look at it.
-
9. Dragon Age: Origins
Yes like Jeff I'm somewhat apprehensive of putting even more time into this game right now, after trying out all the origin stories & getting through a large chunk with a mage & having plenty of battles go okay to bad (or just paused/reloaded a few times) I'm stuck on debating to pick one of the other origins where the rogue or warrior is the main character. I like the mage especially after putting in enough points to get the waking nightmare spell but still a lot more management of people that I'd rather trust the AI with. Maybe someday will get back to it.
-
10. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Got this recently through steam to get a ton of screenshots with to admire as it's tougher with the Xbox version I have. Will require playing it again :).
-
11. Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain
Yes the PS3 is being used mostly for PS1 great games like this & streaming Mythbusters through netflix.
-
12. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Yes the PS3 is being used mostly for PS1 great games like this & streaming Mythbusters through netflix.
-
13. Psychonauts
Will finally finish the last stage of this game as I'm not so new to the controller like I was when originally getting it on the Xbox.
-
14. Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2
Too bad it's on the pc as the controls are kind of funky compared to when I played it on the Xbox years ago. Unlike the Xbox version, I can push up the resolution to a decent size where the characters look not so Quake II.
-
15. Shadow Warrior
Big thanks to Dosbox for letting this work :).
-
16. Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet
Big thanks to Dosbox for letting this work :).
-
17. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Love the game & can't stop playing it even after finishing it. Wish that someone would take the VtM rich setting & do something similar to Dragon Age where the clan openings were a little more unique to each clan as well as each clan having an HQ/people to deal with even if the quests are the same.
Oh & Malkavian clan in this game is done brilliantly with the costumes/writing.
-
18. Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Known around here as Deadpool & Friends Grand Adventure Romp. Same goes for MUA2.
-
19. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
-
20. Paper Mario
Quite landmark at least for me in being a Mario game that broke away from the franchise & tried something different. Playing on the virtual console on the Wii & enjoying it despite not being a big Nintendo fanboy.
-
21. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Again, virutal console item. Tried to enjoy it but didn't get too far into it after getting to the town. Just too much to try to figure out (again not a big fan of Nintendo games, last zelda game I played was the first one ages ago), still it's a game to try to chip away at & it's quite interesting to see how much of it carries over to games today. Plus wtf is with the town on some of the contests, if I recall there was a bowling one but might be wrong but there was one sporting thing not being a shooting gallery which seemed quite off from the world in the game.
-
22. No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way
Loved the first & never really got into the 2nd, found it at Half Price books (retail chain selling used books, cds, games) & started into this. Have to admit that I love the hell out of this one even more with the player upgrades, witty dialogue & fun gadgets. BTW Fox Interactive, bring this to the current consoles with a proper & fun sequel as it's a great franchise.
-
23. Cthulhu Saves the World
We need more games like this. Not so much the 16bit RPG but with Cthulhu & other beloved Lovecraftian creations playing the main roles.
