What are you playing?

Over a month late, but did you start playing Infinite Undiscovery yet? No one else I know has played it!

Actually I have been playing Infinite Undiscovery. It's.. Interesting... I have yet to finish the first disk but so far so good.

As for other games I'm playing:
Harvest Moon DS: Island of Happiness
Spore Creature
Infinite Undiscovery
Pokemon(not going to list all of them)
Not entirely sure I can include these but anyways, Bioshock/Bioshock2 and COD.. They are not played often.. only when I'm not at home.
 
Final Fantasy III on the DS for a second time. Decided to be funny (not really) and name them vulgar things. :]
Also occasionally playing PKMN White and Super Mario Sunshine. SMS is really addicting and I'm considering wheter or not to start my third file for another 100% go, even though I asbolutely hate the Lillypad shine. Not only to get there with Yoshi, but to actually do the course. And PKMN White is still grinding for the E4+N+Ghetsis part, how bothersome.
 
Currently playing:
Left 4 Dead (360) - Trying to get used to the level layouts before I play online.
Pokemon Diamond - Restarted this for the umpteenth time, looking to finish it before I restart Platinum as well.

Ongoing:
Animal Crossing: Wild World - Still working on paying off a loan. Just got my younger sister into this game, so we're trading it back and forth.

Bought Bullet Witch for £5 the other day thinking "why not."

What I got was effectively the brain-damaged, deformed love child of Gears of War and Bayonetta. The whole game is an ugly, boring mess and I honestly wish I'd just taken the fiver I spent on it to a local casino slot machine instead.
 
Ninja Gaiden 2 because my Internet has been wonky for a while.
Chop chop chop, Ninja limb goes off.

Its like games should be.

Next I will find out if I can cut off arms with the staff.
For science!

Also playing SFxT now.
I can beat up bears. Thats a plus.

I'm still working my way through Pokemon HeartGold but I've since bought and started playing a bit of Sonic Generations on 3DS. So far, so good, but the console version is clearly superior.

On Wii, I finally booted up my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles and thus far I've been really enjoying it. The battle system reminds me of FF XII's, which I loved, but with freer controls and a lot more strategy. This is exactly the type of JRPG I've been looking for and I wouldn't be surprised if it became a new favourite of mine. :)

On 360, I recently downloaded and played through the demo of Fez. It's pretty much guaranteed that the next time I sit down for some 360 gaming I'll be purchasing the full version of Fez too. Such an effing beautiful and innovative game. I adored it, and I highly encourage everyone who owns a 360 to at least try its demo. :up:
 
Started playing Metroid Prime 2: Echoes yesterday, got the Dark Suit today and is on my hunt for the keys of the second dark temple. As with the first game, this one is just as fascinating and it makes me jump from time to time with some surprisingly hidden monsters. I really hope I'll get the Gravity Boost soon.
 
Now we have our consoles unpacked.. I am playing:
Dreamcast - Project Justice
PS3 - Warriors Orochi 3, Bejeweled 3
DS - Animal Crossing Wild World (to catch that damn scorpion!)
 

Sir Red

Charms' Caped Crusader
Currently Playing: Diablo III, Professor Layton and The Diabolical Box and occasionally messing around with StarCraft.

I really need to get back to playing Arkham City now that I'm back home, though. :x Having no tv at school makes console gamer quite difficult. :T

Yesterday evening I decided to give my free PSN copy of inFAMOUS a go (to be followed up by my free PS+ copy of inFAMOUS 2 at some point). Aside from the main character having electrical powers, I actually knew very little about the game going into it. So far it's been a pretty nice experience. Restoring your health via electrical currents is a nice touch, and I like how easy it is to scale walls/climb up pipes/etc. Oddly enough this is the first console game from the open world genre that I've played this generation (not counting Skyrim, which I received on PC).

I'm playing the good guy role as best as possible because it's fun being the misunderstood hero, and I'm naturally a big ol' goody-goody. :'D

I've only played the second game, but personally I find it almost unplayable due to the stiff and awkward controls. It really should be a game where you can just absolutely let loose and fluidly take out all your foes - but it really isn't. Kind of a waste really. People made a lot of comparisons to this game when Prototype came out, and frankly, Prototype was better - despite its own flaws.
 
Ongoing:
All computer
Transformice - cute mouse game!
WoW - Leveling my main... Level 74 Blood Elf Hunter on Area 52.
Maplestory - El Nido leveling my Mercedes and my Cannoneer.

Soon:
Minecraft - I haven't played in forever.
DS
Pokemon Conquest - I NEED it.
Black 2 and/or White 2 - MUST HAVE! I shall claw anyone that tries to stop me from getting it with my stubby nails. I can't wait.
 
Right now I'm trying to fix something wrong with my WiFi on my foruth generation games like SoulSilver. Not only that, but I'm EV training a UU Flygon for my new team on WiFi in White.

Pokemon Conquest is my new time sink. I still fully intend to play Tales of the Abyss to the end (and I'd say I'm about 50-60% through it now), but that will have to wait. Too busy conquering kingdoms. ♥

Other than that, my PS+ copy of Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One finally finished downloading last weekend and I started it up with my younger sister. It's pretty cool and it'll be fun playing through it with her. :)
 
Ummm... Lot's of stuff right now.

GBA- Pokemon Emerald(Stuck on third gym)

PS3-Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Xbox 360-I'm trying out Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Also tried some game called Soul Caliber III which combines anime characters with a couple Star wars characters, and they fight, kinda like Mortal Kombat, only with weapons. -_-

DS-Playing through Pokemon Black AGAIN. Also, trying to defeat Chaos in Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light.

Wii- Mario & Sonic At the Olympic Games: London 2012, and also playing through Sonic Unleashed once more.

Gamecube- I decided to play Pokemon XD for old times sake.

That's about it for now.

Soul Calibur is actually a pretty good game. The Character Creation tool is really enjoyable. Don't know if that tool is available in Soul Calibur III, but in IV it is.

As for me:

Pokémon Blue
Sumotori Dreams
Skyrim
Minecraft
 
I'm playing pretty many games at the moment. Well, I'm playing Ghost Recon 2, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Red Faction, Unreal Tournament, Minecraft, Red Dead Redemption, Rayman 3 AND Origins, Okami (Wii Edition), God of War, Kirby 64 and Metal Gear Solid.

And i just started on Final Fantasy (Why did i do that? Someone tell me :( )

And i'm saving for a PC. This crapass Laptop can't run skyrim >=O

I picked up Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (3DS) a few days ago and I've been addicted to it ever since. I'm loving it so much that I decided to purchase Final Fantasy V from the PSN and playthrough it as it's one of the only main series FF games that I've never properly played (thus I didn't recognize most of its music in Theatrhythm). :)

Other than that, I played through several worlds on Super Mario 3D Land while away on vacation and have been playing more Pikmin 2 & Xenoblade as well. I was playing Pokemon Conquest until recent, but since I've beaten the main story I'm taking a break from it to give other games more focus.

What did you doooooooooooooo?

The PSX version is really not so good. Best one is the GBA port.
Great game though.


Personally I went back to Streetfighter 4. Such a good game. It should offer enough entertainment for at least 5 more years for me.
If anybody wants to clash, message me. Learning a new Character currently so I'm kinda neutered right now.

I missed out on getting the GBA port, plus I never play my DS Lite anymore. For that reason alone it was worth opting for the PSN version, even if it does lag slightly. The load times are actually fairly decent considering how bad I'd expected them to be.

Only because of the Black Mages. If not for them I'd likely never had heard the song before. :x

Might as well add that I downloaded/started playing Mighty Switch Force yesterday. Nintendo of America is now putting one eShop game on sale each weekend, and this weekend's pick was Mighty Switch Force for $2.99. Hard to argue with a price that good, and I'd wanted to try out the game anyways. It's actually not quite what I expected but it's still pretty fun. A nice mesh of platforming and puzzle gaming. :)

The load times are quicker because it runs off an iso and not a regular CD on the PSX. Main reason why the GBA version is better though is that it offers both a better translation and additional content.
But its really not so bad with the PSX one.


Also, I got Dragons Dogma yesterday. I think its hilarious that the japanese show their dominance in what was supposed to be one of the main western video game genres.
It puts mediocre titles like Skyrim, Dragonage or any Mass Effect to shame and actually feels like a real adventure and in fact like a game.
It got me hooked from the first hour.

After the success Demons and Dark Souls it seems that we will see some more medieval fantasy themed japanese games in the future.
Thats not bad as they seem to be the best at working with this material.
I am really sick of Tolkien ripoff #1414235 with horrible gameplay.
 
Lets see here, Im Currently Playing...

Brink - Love it, fast paced, difficult even on an easier level, good customization.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time - A classic Im playing for the first time, reminds me of the classic Zelda formula.

Pokemon Black 2 - Bianca and the glasses @_@

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - I sound like a weirdo when you hear nothing but Objection, Take That and Hold It being shouted from my room.

Were FFV's extras additional plot stuff or just an extra dungeon? I can't fully remember anymore, nor can I recall why I didn't bother purchasing it for GBA way back when...

Moving on. I've been playing lots of Kingdom Hearts 3D recently and making fairly good progress. On the side I've also been playing Fortune Street for Wii, sometimes single player but more often multiplayer. Never would've thought that a mash up of Dragon Quest, Mario, and Monopoly-ish gameplay could be so much fun.
 
I have been playing all of the Skyrim. All of it. Seriously, I've racked up a nice 250 hours this summer. Being that I actually hold a 9-5 job and still take kung fu, I'm impressed with how much time I've been able to waste c:

Also doing a runthrough of Pokemon White 2, although it's entirely in Japanese (battle system included), so half of the time I have no idea what I'm doing. Running an LP of it currently on tumblr.
 
I've been playing Street Fighter X Tekken on Steam. (Even though it doesn't show backgrounds.) ;_;
Been playing Cave Story+ on Steam, completed Easy mode, now moving onto normal.
Aaaaand using the Tekkit mod for Minecraft, even though I have no idea what I'm doing.
Hoping to get Kingdom Hearts 3d before the end of August too.

Still trying to power my way through Diablo. I've done the Butcher on Inferno and that's as far as I've got. Had a brief visit to Inferno Act II and swiftly retreated. Think I'll be farming Act I for better items for a good while before attempting that again :D
 
Guild Wars 2, with my friends c:

Also fiendishly wiggling my fingers for Skyrim's new DLC Hearthfire to come out on PC (and yes, I know there are mods that do the exact thing, but I'm still excited so shh)
 
Skyrim

also HeartGold (Beat Whitney without taking damage)

also Mystery Dungeon Time (Having my main team named after Super Junior members because I'm a sad fanboy)

Over the weekend I played some Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and LittleBigPlanet 2 with my younger sister. I also booted up my free PSP copy of LittleBigPlanet on my Vita. The Vita's resolution makes LBP PSP look a tad ugly but it's better than nothing. I played through the demo of Gravity Rush and it was pretty fun, but I'm not yet sure if I want to purchase the full game. Oh, I guess I played about 5 minutes of Zen Pinball 2 as well but I likely won't play much more of it. I've never cared much for pinball games...

Since Monday I've been playing more New Super Mario Bros. 2, as well as a bit of Mighty Switch Force and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror to pass the time. I also took Kirby's 20th Anniversary Dream Collection for a spin yesterday evening and man, I likely haven't played some of those Kirby games in ages but they're still so fresh in my mind. Makes me feel old.
