I bought all of the Fallout3:NV DLC during the Steam summer sale, so I've been working my way through the Courier 6 (whatever that one is called) piece. Fun

Playing Orcs Must Die 2.
Never played the first one, this one is pretty fun. It's an interesting twist in the Action/Tower defense style of games. Sorta like Dungeon Defenders but different.
Instead of towers you have traps. Some traps go on floors, some on walls, and some on ceilings. At the start of each level you can choose your loadout. Combat oriented people can go with multiple weapons and trinkets with very few traps while trap oriented people could go full traps (not recommended) if they wished. You can level up your weapons, traps, trinkets, etc. for a cost. Pretty fun. If anyone wants to do some coop they can hit me up.
I still like Dungeon Defenders more though. The loot drop hunt is a bit addictive. But Orcs Must Die 2 has enough differences that it's a refreshing take on the whole action tower defense genre.

SB

Started playing Lost Planet 2 SP but then stopped because its abysmal. Massive dissapointment after the first game.
Replaying Darksiders in preparation for the epic sequel. They have really improved every aspect of the game.

Sjeez, I'm not allowed to talk about what I'm playing right now.. go figure
Your not why ????
you wernt blaspheming and talking about playing games on godless systems were you ?
I'll chime in with support for Borderlands SP. I got the game long after my friends had finished it so I played the whole thing alone. It's a little dead and empty at times but it was one of my favorite gaming experiences last year, for sure. I can see how it would be way better MP tho. Looking forward to playing the sequel from week one!
Realized just how many games I've bought on Steam in anticipation of one day getting a new PC. Now that I have a system capable of playing everything on max, I find I have little time to play them. Oh if only I was single again.... nah.
Finished Serious Sam 3, was some good old school fps fun. Trying to figure out what to play next, thinking either Batman AA and AC, or Crysis 2. All the while been playing The Secret World with the wife when possible.

Died like half a dozen times in Fallout3:NV last night, got a small bit annoyed because I hadn't saved (like a moron) and so I decided to try something else for a while.
Fired up Crysis 2, it auto-detected Ultra settings and plays like a friggin' champ on my rig -- even at 2560x1440. The framerate is a tad bit hitchy in one or two places, but so far it's pretty enjoyable. I'll probably go back to Fallout:NV tonight.

Finally got around to giving Shogun 2 a full whirl. The way the game snowballs is a real treat and joy which makes it totally worth rreplaying, even at over 80 hours per game. I just spent no less than four hours playing cat and mouse with the AI - and so I can say that although it is not entirly unflawed, it is full of fascinating interactions. In the end, my massively outnumbered wing of cavalry proved too much for the computer's peasants to manage, but it was actually surprisingly fun to kite and lure archers and spearmen for so long. Almost every aspect is worth savoring and messing with. My only wish is that naval battles were as fun as Ancient Art of War At Sea's. Theyre still pretty interesting for awhile, but the lack of feedback, a few minor bugs, and the emphasis on rowboats are stifling. Anyway... the AI still aint perfect but it's a joy for a good while. And the polish and care... :F

Inversion: Fun third person shooter, with polished visuals, but a little unbalanced here and there. The gravity gameplay isn't really necessary at the beginning, but becomes more useful and important as you go on. Too many cut-scenes at the beginning, and too many boss battles piled in at the end. Fairly console style of game, but a good port to the PC with good mouse/kb controls. Having your NPC partner playing with you lifts the game to a higher level, and there's even a pretty decent background story.
Prototype 2: While this does seem to be better in every way than the original, it has a game killing mouse control that gives me a headache very quickly (not something I usually get on third-person games). This uses console/controller style acceleration that depends on how far you move, rather than PC-style how fast you move. It means you're constantly adjusting to get your character to go the way you want, so it's like driving a car with loose steering. It's a real shame given that they've given you a massive city to superhero around in.
As Activision has closed down Radical Entertainment due to poor sales of the console versions, don't expect any fixes for the poor mouse control, or the memory leak that bring games to a shuddering halt every hour.

Ok, I've removed it from my steam wishlist just because of that. I'll just get the new Darksiders instead.
I dont understand that, movement should be based on distance not speed, If you move your mouse very slowly from one side of your mousemat to the other are you saying you should only turn a tiny bit ?
If you are thats wrong
quake 3/uT/anyfps/tps obeys the distance rule

I'm saying that you should accelerate if you move your mouse faster not just further. You shouldn't get a change in the speed of movement just by moving your mouse steadily in one direction. It screws up your feedback loop, kind of like Dead Space 1. But Dead Space is a slower, more considered game where your character is clumping around corridors. In P2 you're running at speed around a city and up the sides of buildings, so the fine control is more important.
There's some vids on Youtube showing the problem where someone rotates a camera around your character at a steady rate on the mouse, but the speed of the rotate keeps going up and down.
Just recently got the Quakecon pack for $99. Includes pretty much all id and Bethesda games ever, plus a few related games, such as Fallout: NV. Just played through that once, and then tried to get it working with nVidia Surround. I figured out how to fix *most* things, but the Pip Boy and computer terminals are blurry as hell, unfortunately.

I'm always playing either Battlefield 3 or Skyrim. Two games that will most certainly keep me preoccupied until their respective sequels arrive. It's nuts how many hours I put into Skyrim. I'm close to 420 hours, now. And I haven't even finished the main quest line. Dawnguard is a lot of fun and totally worth the money, if anyone is on the fence regarding it. Probably the best aspect about it, that I've encountered thus far, is Serana, a vampire follower you obtain pretty early into the game. She's pretty powerful with her conjuration and destruction spells. In fact, she can easily clear a room for you, while you sit back and do nothing. My smithing isn't high enough to craft dragonbone weapons, the character that I had 100 smithing on had their save data get messed up and I was forced to reinstall, so I'm working my way back to achieving dragonbone smithing.

Crazy Taxi - lol! I recall spending hundreds of hours just goofing off in that game with some friends of mine. I shant speak of which platform it may have been using though...
Mechwarriors and Descent 2? Yeah!!
