What has everyone been playing this week?

[Dirty Sanchez]

Mass Effect 2
Epic game,completedit yesterday - now running through for a second play. Probablythe best game I've played in years.

Blur(PC)
Playing on the PC with the 360 pad - nice easy learning curve, handling model very forgiving. Fun so far, powerups don't feel too cheaty.

Fallout : New Vegas(PC)
It must be just me, I think this is total trash. This is gaming back in the early 90's. Boring me stupid - I think this will go on the 'never play again' pile if it doesn't click on the next play.

Metro 2033
Taking it in small chunks -I can't stand the crap voices for longer than that.

Hitman: Blood Money
I bought this off Dirty Sanchez after seeing Edge revisit it in the latest issue.

I'm really enjoying it. I quite like mooching around the levels and seeing the various things that help you sneak around and commit the dastardly deeds.

He wasn't on the balcony for long...

Enjoy your snack, boys. Mwah ha haaa!

It's kind of like Poirot in reverse. Instead of whodunit, it's howdunit. Loving it!

Blood Money is probably my favourite Hitman. Played it on the original Xbox only last year. I loved the New Orleans chicken suit mission, in fact I can't think of a mission I didn't enjoy. I replayed it several times before finallly putting it down.

So many options and, hugely imaginative, often sickly amusing, ways of accomplishing the hit. Apart from a few things I've always had issue with IMHO it's one of the finest game series ever made.

[k0pp0]

Borderlands again. The game just keeps on giving.

[hush]

Last Rebellion - Pretty crap in terms of graphics and plot (decent artwork and music though) but I've put around 7 hours into it and quite like the battle system even if everything else about the games mechanics feel under developed, it's also a bit on the easy side as it seems like your levelling up every 5 minutes but will probably stick with it as I've heard it's only a short game by RPG standards, around 15hrs or less and is an easy platinum.

Phar that was why i played the the game i like the artwork, the music and the battle system was different to other RPG's i played so it was a win for me. Yeah it was short but still fun

I have been playing The Ballad of Gay Tony. No idea why I didn't get it when it came out. I meant to.

I just finished it last night and loved every minute of it. I don't know if they refined the missions as they went on or if it was simply down to all that time I had to clear my head of GTAIV and Lost and the Damned but it felt much better to me. Easier in ways, less frustrating and far more fun.

It still carries my early criticism of GTAIV, which is that for me it's a complete failure as a sandbox game because there just isn't anywhere near enough sand in a giant box. But, as a pretty linear 'play through the missions' game, I found it to be a huge success.

[speedlolita]

Original Cotton, Harmful Park and SSF4.

Mass Effect 2

[112]

Fallout New Vegas has started to piss me off with the bugs, so i have temporarily put it down and started playing 999 (9 hours, 9 people, 9 doors) on the DS, after being introduced to the game by our very own NTSC review, i am probably about half way through my first run. It's not bad, different and slow for the most part, but intriguing non the less, as i am sucked into the story line

So far impressive...

Pacman DX (still)

I got to 79th in the world rankings in 10Min Championship 2 mode.

Pure gaming crack.

I started Vanquish also, albeit for 10 minutes or so.

[Darwock]

This year has started so differently to 2010. I've got more games on the go than I have had for a very long time.

My time is being torn between LBP2, GT5 and the KZ3 demo (and I still have Deadstorm Pirates on the back burner too).

LBP2 is winning out overall, not got into the creation side of things yet - still messing around online. The online side seems a lot less solid than it used to though, and I don't get many decent co-op sessions going. I can only join other people's sessions, I can't seem to lead one of my own. This is unfortunate as 99% of sessions I join are playing the same few levels over and over again (Zombie Island again...groaaannnn) and the other 1% of people just want to piss around in the Moon or the Pod. Also every request I have sent to the people on my friend list who are playing has been refused

The game should let you set an indicator that says you are accepting visitors or something, now the only way I can get the lead is if I join a group of 3 or more and the original leader gets disconnected.

GT5 is dropping off a bit to a couple of goes a week, the seasonal events got a bit less interesting. I'm trying to keep the B-spec running when doing other stuff.

KZ3 is just super addictive with the Move controls, and this is only the demo(beta)! When the full game is released my time is going to be even more split.
