What games are you playing right now?

For some reason I never got into zelda the minish cap for GBA and got very far but couple days ago it finally settled in and now Im playing it everyday. Which is odd because its more like the old school zelda games I love best.

Been playing the hell out of left 4 dead with friend of mine and we both got killing floor when it launched and playing it some in between also.

I want to finish dead space also so I can start working on my level ideas for little big planet and play through the darkness also.

I currently play:

Left 4 Dead
CoD 4 - Modern Warfare
CoD - World at War

Used to play World of Warcraft WAY too much. Every now and then I load up the old Enemy Territory - RTCW and melt a few faces for old times sake.

Yeah cancelled my WOW account also, but I did it just because I got tired of all the lazy and obnoxious players in the game.

Yeah I cant wait for SC2! It looks awesome, I just hope I can run it... No release date yet. Blizzard is such a tease! 11 years since the original and they STILL cant say when the sequel will come out?

Idk, SC 2 is a bit... too out-of-proportion for me, literally and figuratively speking.
Diablo 3 on the other hand, definitely going to worth however much they'll be after release + 4-6 months... XD

Currently it's just CSS and Medieval 2 Kingdom w/ SS mod. Some Dota now and then.
Will try Prince of Persia (the latest one) once my freaking 8800gt get back.


Now I regret selling my G25 since burntout paradise does look pretty good, even for an arcade sim.



At Khalil, if you're going to play Medieval 2, then get the expansion, Kingdom, also AND then go to their forum (TWcenter) and look for a mod called Stainless Steel. It will greatly enhance your experience w/ Medieval 2 completely. Dont bother just w/ the first Medieval 2. Dont play the Kingdom expansion alone neither.

Yeah cant wait for starcraft 2 either. I just dont like its getting split in 3 parts, 1 game for each race. Blizzard said its because they wanted to make the story better but hell warcraft 3 and its expansions told a pretty lengthy story for like 3 races each one and it still managed to fit on just a cd. Just hope each one isnt 50 bucks, hate to pay 150 just to get the whole thing.


I got megaman x collection off ebay so it should be here soon, cant wait to fire it up.

Yeah, I canceled mine this January. Just got to be too much. I help run a gaming clan and started a WoW Guild for us at one point back when we first started to dabble into it when it was first released. We got a bit too serious and it was just taking up too much of my time. They are still rocking and rolling right now. They have just about cleared all the new content from the Ulduar expansion...

Playing a lot of L4D but I must admit that I'm not a fan of finding dedicated servers. My friends complain because I occasionally use a trackpad (lol). On the other hand I will be purchasing "ABP" when it is released, looks awesome!

I am playing Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3 right now. I sometimes go and play the original version of Halo as well. Some of the mods in Halo are pretty fun.

The Total War series is pretty much my favorite of all time, in all games, not just RTSs. When I got Shogun: Total War way back in Christmas of I think '99 I just fell in love with the series. I remember playing it for the first time. I had 2 groups of men coming into a wooded area on the battlemap, and a enemy battalion in the center of said area. When I went to crush the enemy, there were 2 enemy units that came out of the woods from the sides! lol I got crushed by the enemy, but I have been too involved in the series ever since. If you like Medieval II I would also suggest Kingdoms and Empire: Total War, both great buys for RTS enthusiasts.

Game I play regularly:
Counter Strike Source (especially gungame with instant respawn)

Games I have (re)played in the past few months or games I play occasionally:
Portal
Crysis & Crysis Warhead
Roller Coaster Tycoon 1, 2, 3
Need for Speed Series (especially Most Wanted)
I am also thinking about getting Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box.

How is Call of Duty World at War? Hopefully Modern Warfare 2 will be at least as good as COD4 was. The previews I have seen for it look great. I had a fun time beating the COD4 Epilogue on Veteran with knife only ( http://www.xfire.com/video/bd570/ )

COD WaW is pretty good, especially if you like fire. You use the flamethrower quite a bit in the campaign, especially when clearing out Japanese trenches and tunnels. Unfortunately the flamethrower is a level 60 something perk in multiplayer, so prepare to play awhile before picking it up. The campaign is just as crazy and fun as the other games, and is kind of refreshing playing in the Pacific Theater for once. You of course play as the Russians too as they march towards Berlin...only this time you finally feel like you take the city at the end.

I'm currently playing COD 4 (campaign / multiplayer), COD WaW multiplayer and the Sims 2. When my HD 4870 comes in I'll be playing the Sims 3 as well.

BTW, how were Crysis and its expansion?

I LOVED Rome: Total War - is Empire as good as it was supposed to be? The review I read said they simplified some stuff to make things easier. Does that hurt the gameplay?

They were both very immersive. The graphics are very good. For my PC (I had a Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz & 4870 512MB when I played them), it was playable with all the settings maxed out (DX9) & 2x AA (if I remember correctly, possibly no AA) at 1280 x 1024. I would recommend Crysis over Crysis Warhead if you had to pick only one since Crysis seemed quite a bit longer than Crysis Warhead. Warhead wouldn't make as much sense if you hadn't played Crysis first. I believe Warhead has multiplayer, but I haven't tried it. I got the games for $10 each at a Best Buy sale a while back, and they were definitely worth the money.
