    Tell us what games you are currently playing on any system and what you think of it.

    I'm currently playing the following on Xbox360

    Forza3 - awesome but I need a steering wheel setup. :eek: They need to release some new tracks.

    Modern Warfare 2 - the Campaign was great but too short. Multi-player is good with friends esp Special Ops. MP can get annoying when you get matched up with ppl that are high levels and thus have crazy perks that make them insane killing machines. Not very realistic game-play wise but still fun.

    Bioshock - Only bought this recently, what a great game! Can't put this game down. FPS/RPG elements and taking down Big Daddies is a challenge. Hopefully have it finished just as Bioshock 2 gets released next month :eek:

    Saints Row - Got this in a bargain bin. Overall its pretty average game I guess for their 1st attempt at making a GTA clone they did all right considering this game is a few years old and have since released no2. Trying to get rep b4 being able to do story missions is annoying. It's funny that it has "havoc" yet the physics is like you are playing in deep space haha.

    Left 4 Dead 2 - Awesome game. Even better than L4D. Better weapons, better game-play. Tho you have to play with 3 other friends to get the best from it.

    On PC.
    Torchlight - Its a modern version of diablo. Got it for a fiver when Steam was having their holidays sales. Great little game and has a notebook mode so should work on any PC.


    Looking forward to Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2 in the coming months. :eek:

    I just got the Platinum trophy for Assassin's Creed 2 this previous sunday... LOOOOVED the game.

    I've also just recently finished both God of War 1 and 2 (bought the collection for PS3). Got the Platinum for GoW1, working on GoW2, and plan on getting GoW3 when it is released.

    My next game will be Uncharted 2. Got it for christmas, and never played Uncharted, so here's to hoping its a good game.

    Bought a friend of mine CoD:MW2 for Christmas, and two weekends ago we met up and played it for much of the weekend. The Spec Ops were certainly fun (if not irritating occasionally), but we finished quite a few of them w/ 3 stars and unlocked the Echo ops... those were sheer insanity...

    I completed the single player story for Uncharted 2 this weekend during the snow.

    Excellent story to it... almost too good for a game, I think I would have enjoyed it more as a movie.

    In a number of cases, the controls were incredibly frustrating, and in several cases on the first play-through it can be difficult to figure out where you are supposed to go.

    Will probably play through it again to find more stuff... haven't tried the online portion yet, may do that at some point as well.

    Forza 3- only level 38 cuz i get sidetrack doing other things, i have a list of 50 cars I have done my fastest lap on Nurburgring completely stock. To see how different cars rank. And Nurburgring is AMAZING.

    MW2- Beat campaign and it was pretty cool, however short. Play multiplayer a lot and have prestiged twice.

    Bioshock- Got a ways into the game and all the new games came out i.e. Forza 3 and i stopped playing, so im getting back into that, its a pretty crazy game tho.

    Left 4 dead 2- Great fun to break up all the other games, just go wreck a bunch of Zombies! Absolutely and improvement over the first one.

    Assassins Creed 2- Fun game, has much more replayability than the first one.

    GTA Ballad of Gay Tony- Awesome, best GTA so far. Multiplayer is much improved with parachutes and tanks, also a heli that shoots misiles like a machine gun.

    Battlefield Bad Company 2 (demo)--- Absolutely amazing. Check out the demo for free on the dashboard.

    PC only for us (as we can't get motion data from consoles yet)

    iRacing - The most addictive and realistic racing software there is - hands down. The tracks are millimeter perfect and the physics data is amazing. It really makes our motion systems come alive.

    Dirt 2 - Actually quite a fun video game with stunning visuals. Rally is always fun with full-motion, it really gives you that airborne feeling.....

    RaceOn - The latest in the long line of GTR games from SimBin. Still fun and lots of cars and tracks you'd recognize.

    Battlefield 2 (Pc is nearing the end of its life and won't play much else :cry:)

    G25 is still in storage so sadly no racing games for me (I can't believe how incredibly bad I am with the keyboard! I can't even manage a 1.40 on blackwood in that GTI thing with LFS. with G25 I do consistent 1.33s...).

    X360 is broken, so no GTA4, and I've got a massive urge to play it to kill some mofo's lol

    Started playing Test Drive Unlimited again, even though it sounds, looks and feels awful, I still love playing it, no other racing game allows you to just cruise around.

    I uninstalled Fallout 3 because of unresolved driver issues, but kept my savegames. Too much going on to mess with it now.

    Last night, got the Saitek Aviator joystick out and loaded the software up along with the MS Flightsim V.10 demo that came with it, did a test flight in a DeHavilland Otter. I'd forgotten how much fun I used to have with flight sims.

    I also have the Ferrari racing game download from the Owner's Site, but have only played with my keypad. Needless to say, I need to configure the joystick to it. Very decent graphics and sound.


    Other loaded games are Mount & Blade and Medieval II, both Age of Chivalry first person action and strategy combos, both decent graphics and above-average difficulty.

    I know Assassin's Creed V.2 is now available, but I don't know if I want it if as difficult as V.1. V.1 is very tough and resource-intensive even on normal difficulty setting, but it is one cool game.

    Until you tap someone and the cops magically get called :eek: Speeding 10x over the speed limit, go thru red lights all fine but tap someone, game over!! haha.

    I had this on PC and got the No cars hack so I used to cruise around without the annoying traffic haha :D

    Nice, I could never get the PC version to play very smoothly, but it was nice to be able to get hacks, driving around in a black 288 GTO. :)

    Assassin's Creed 2 is fantastic. Not as difficult as 1, as they did change some of the mechanics a bit, but its a very very good game.

    Its terrible and relatively fun at the same time. Playing online with a friend, with a G25 was good fun. The only thing that annoyed me senseless was the physics, lack of proper track and the sound of the cars (the Challenge stradale sounded like a f'ing vacuum cleaner for christ sakes)...basically the whole game. LOL.

    But it was fun cruising about in a Zonda or the DB7 Zagato (looked ugly but damn it drove nice! and the sound actually sounded nice!) for about 45 minutes before turning it off and play LFS.


    I've had the idea for a while now that I should create one massive game by combining a number of games together. A map like TDU (although not similar, more european style), physics like LFS (besides the crashing physics, and ofcourse TDU style for the arcade noobs), modifying like Forza 3, Need for speed style police (and the player can play police himself to earn $$), graphics like GT5...and last but not least a bunch of REAL tracks in the game.

    I'd buy it:D.

    It is one of those games you should hate but you can't. Whenever I drive my Stradale on a cruise I'm yelled at for driving a blender. :D

    Mostly I have been playing

    Civilization Revolution - just like it evolving my people

    Forza 3 - Just a lot of fun, the competition with you guys is nice, but you all smoke me badly...

    TDU - I love that it has a 308QV in it...thats MY car and I get to drive it around Hawaii. Its the only game I know of with a 308 in it.

    Fallout - just really getting started with it, so I am not really pulled in just yet.

    Batman:Arkham Asylum - so far I love it

    CoD MW1 - Yeah, its old, but I suck at it too. I tried the multiplayer and every group I have found is a whole lot better - its not fun respawning in a snipers scope
