OS Neutral What game are you currently playing

I've been playing Far Cry 3 - beat it, cleared the whole map, then reset the camps and started clearing them again. When I'm just in the mood to wreck havoc (mostly with the bow and arrow and some well placed mines) that's my go-to game. Hoping to pick up Bioshock: Infinite once it drops in price a bit.

Neverwinter has been a great substitute MMO for me. You don't have to worry about a monthly fee, the game play is pretty fun, and you can get a good amount done in an hour. So if I only have a short amount of time to kill, I boot up Neverwinter and knock out a few quests or a dungeon. I have not felt the need to put money into the game... I may end up doing so anyways, but it definitely is not required. There's a good Wine port of Neverwinter on the Porting Team website, so being able to play in OSX definitely helps when I need a quick game.

This. I've also been playing Neverwinter. Played WoW for years, got burned out (of MMOs in general, especially of the monthly subscription variety,) picked up Guild Wars 2, enjoyed it but for some reason can't... just can't get excited about playing it. Probably my toon, need to do something different. Coworker told me to pick up NW so we can play at lunch. It's a LOT of fun, free, and easy to jump in, get some stuff done, and jump out. Although it's also easy to lose 3 hours and it feel like only 15 minutes. I may end up putting a little money into it, but it's certainly not necessary to enjoy the game or succeed at it.

Bioshock Infinite...

a couple of people mentioned neverwinter so i thought i would try it out. my first impressions are not that good. the game is brand new and the graphics look 5+ years old. I ran the wrapped mac client as people suggested it was good. it was not. the camera is jerky as hell. I dont know if its from lag or what but for running a 675mx graphics card its pretty jerky. Maybe the actual windows client fixes that.

All in all I cant believe people would pick this game over guild wars 2. other then the fact neverwinter is a free game i likely wont waste much time on it. the game feels really dated and im not just talking from a graphics perspective. why someone would go from guild wars 2 to that...

Well, I have been playing Grid 2 lately. Bought the Indycar DLC and it is pretty fun for an arcade type racer. I prefer Grid on OSX though as it has the cockpit view. I love to see the interior of the car when I race.

Just started to play Team Fortress 2 again after a few months hiatus.

When I'm not in Team Fortress 2, I'm playing through Black Mesa: Source for a second time and started the Batman: Arkham City campaign.

Finally played the original BioShock all the way through, I can't believe I never got around to it!

Dead Island on the PS3.

The first person combat works and even the slow zombies evoke danger since they can sneak up on you and attack in groups. Overall the game is pretty dumb but I think it succeeds in offering an open world, zombie, action-RPG in a setting that you want to re-visit (Banoi, fictional island of Papua New Guinea). Last night I played it while listening to the Alex Jones show, which seemed apt given his trademark tone and rhetoric.

TF2 is just fun! Especially once I learned that my favorite class is the flame trooper. Ohhhh yeah!

Bioshock? Just an amazing lesson in not trusting ANYONE in a game! LOL

I'm playing The Cave...fun game!

 

[SprSynJn]

I just started playing Guardians of Middle-Earth after watching The Hobbit. Lucky that it was on PS+. Unfortunate that it only seems to be online though.

There's even more if you use nothing but the chainsaw, and maybe play with the corpses a bit

Bioshock Infinite...

I'm still waiting for the port to Mac aaaaaaaaagh

Me too! It's supposed to be out next month (July).

A golden oldie on PC: Rise of Nations (Gold). To my shame, in some battles I have resorted to the nuclear option.

I remember wanting to buy this game, thanks for mentioning it. Does anybody know if it still is played online?

 

[LindaGeorge]

I’m playing Lume. It’s an animated brain training puzzle game. I love to play puzzles a lot.

Thanks!

Hotline Miami. For some reason achievements don't work with this game.

I can't confirm this as time-limitations in my life means I'm too busy to play it online. However, considering RoN's age & with a glut of newer online games since its release, I suspect the numbers still playing it online are now very small & diminishing all the time. Probably best try Google for locating any recent set-ups, though I've just tried & come up with nothing. GL!

NB: Kindly note, I'm playing the PC version of RoN. I also have the Mac version, but that's now useless to me as I bought a Mac with OS X, Lion. Unless you have OS X, Snow Leopard, or an earlier version of OS X, don't bother with the Mac version due to no more Rosetta support.

I'm playing N.O.V.A 3 right now. Best fps ever. :')

Maybe it is just me...

But I am back to playing Endless Space on Steam.

Finished up Last of Us yesterday.....

I don't have time for an entire review, but you can get that on all the other sites.

I am a sucker for a great story in a game. And really well told ones are hard to come by. But in all my years of gaming (granted, I have been gaming since the late 70's and those games did not have great stories), I have never felt so emotionally attached to game characters. The voice acting is about as good as it gets.

The gameplay is not perfect, but it is well done in my opinion. But I was simply playing the game to further the story.

And the ending............... I loved it. Unbelievably well put together. I could watch the cinematics over and over again. Just a great game.

I'm playing Black Ops, Call of Duty 2 and I just bought MC Domination. Still waiting for Sim City 2013. Might just buy it for windows and run it on my new iMac in bootcamp (buying soon)

Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Still addicted, and there are still enough players to have a good experience.

How would you compare Dead Island to Left 4 Dead, (which I consider to be the ultimate zombie gaming experience)?
