What are you playing?

Got FIFA 2010 World Cup South Africa and ModNation Racers for my birthday. I think I'd be better at South Africa if I actually knew soccer tactics and such, but my brother and I seem to be getting better at it.

ModNation Racers is classic kart fun, and the ability to recognize your own characters is pretty cool. The weapons are pretty sweet, too, because you can pick up a power-up and then upgrade it by picking up more power-ups. So you can pick up the "Straight Shot," which is a ricocheting rocket, and use it as a rocket... or you can collect more power-ups and upgrade it to "Swarm," which launches homing missiles on one opponent, or save that until you get "Hydra," which launches like four homing missiles at every kart ahead of you.

I also bought myself a DS yesterday, mainly because it's the only console the girlfriend still has time to play. So yeah, heh, now I have a DS.

Dude, I want Modnation.

It's pretty awesome. And legitimately difficult, I might add. I spent an hour trying to get an in-game objective (get 15,000 points by spinning 360's in your kart) because the objectives also usually require that you place first. So if you place first and don't get 15,000 points, you don't unlock anything. And if you get 15,000 points but place second, you don't unlock anything either. A little frustrating at times, but still fun.

Fan-made tracks are pretty cool, too. Dunno if I'd have the patience to make one, though.

I am mostly playing Persona 3 Portable. Then like randomly playing 8 games. Transformers War for Cybertron was finally a good Transformers game. Beat that one like 4 times already.

I played around with the demo, the track editor was pretty fun, even if I can't make anything more than the track and land.

New slew of games: Liberty City Stories for the PSP, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Mobilized and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin on the DS. I also ordered Mario Kart DS and Planet Puzzle League.

Haven't really played anything but Advance Wars and LC Stories yet, though.

I've got the first Modern Warfare on DS, my lil brother has the 2nd. The 2nd is better, the online is ridiculous though.

I saw Soulcalibur 4 on Xbox Live for $14.99, so I have been playing that for a bit. Not a bad purchase, not a bad game, but its a great game for $14.99.

Games I've recently bought... in the past year I've bought Harvest Moon: It's a Wonderful Life SE(PS2) and Final Fantasy XII(PS2). But I'm really playing FF more than HM, since HM is a slower game.
However, I am still working my way through FFX(PS2) and Shadows of the Colossus(PS2).
These games are amazing.

[Led Zeppelin]

I bought Saints Row 2 over Xbox Live a couple days ago. It's pretty fun, definitely worth the $20.

[-SilentWyvern-]

I got the Valkyria Chronicles 2 (PSP) demo, that is an amazing game. Makes me want a PS3 for the 1st one. Can't wait for 2 to come out.

[BahamutTear]

Now that I am back home, I am playing the beta. Most complicated MMO I have played just in terms of how you build your character.

[David]

I would be playing if SE would stick to their schedule for once. Poor overworked guys are too overambitious with their promises. First they say new phase 3 beta passes go out on the 11th. Then they say the 16th. Now there is no word from them at all. Especially sucks for FilePlanet because they bought a select amount of beta passes that have yet to be delivered. Guess they may as well forget it now since open beta is supposed to start in a couple weeks. Whether that stays on target, who knows.

So it seems all my friends are playing Starcraft 2. Seriously, even people I'd never expect to play it are playing it. So I gave in and got Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. Hunting wyverns til 4am, so much damn fun.

[YukinoMori]

So I realized that I had became Overwhelmed in video games that I need to finish and those that I want to Replay that I decided to focus on Single Player Game at a Time and one CO-OP game at a Time.(for now lol) So that I can start catching up. Push trough these games. Right now I'm playing trough the new Wolfenstein It's not a GREAT game but I'm enjoying, it's simply fun and thats what matters just disappointing that there are not that many memorable moments. Then I'm going probably go Finish Bioshock 2, and hopefully I can do all this before Metroid arrives LoL. Co-Op been Playing Left 4 Dead with roommate and probably going to go to boarderlands this weekend

Never finished Fable II so I started from the beginning a few days ago. Can't wait for Fable III to be released

I'm also in the middle of Transformers: War for Cybertron. Just finished chapter 7.

Hey, lets hope Peter Molyneaux actually keeps his promises this time. Anybody else see the interview he did with GT at E3? Guy looks like he was wasted.

[Led Zeppelin]

He's promised a lot the last 2 games, and that is an understatement. He has also failed to deliver on a lot of those promises in both games. I definitely won't be getting Fable III on launch, but if it is good, I will pick it up at some point.

I have yet to play 2, I'll probably just rent it. 3 looks eh. I don't like the new armory thing. Having to walk around a room to change armor? Thats just annoying, whats wrong with a simple text menu?
Also on a total Monster Hunter binge lately. Can NOT for the life of me kill this Tigrex, which is frustraiting, because I've killed at least 12 in the past.

I saw Two Worlds at EB Games for 14.99. I seriously regret spending any kind of money on it. It has horrible graphics, a choppy framerate, horrid, horrid combat and terrible voice acting and dialogue. yeah.
