I'm about an hour into Shadow Complex for the 360. For a downloadable arcade game it's pretty great, especially if you dig the DS Castlevania/Metroid-type stuff, although the 2d/3d perspective it sometimes throws at you can be a little distracting.

Oh, and the second part of Tales of Monkey Island drops tomorrow. If anyone can make me drop everything for a few hours, it's Guybrush Threepwood.

As if my free time wasn't already sparse. Gah, I should be writing... *Goes back to play more Shadow Complex*

I heard RE5 sucked. if you didn't absolutely love RE4 then you probably wouldn't like it.

MGS4 is like 90% cutscenes now.

the last one alone supposedly last 98 minutes.

I didnt play the actual game, but did download the demo before selling my 360, and RE5 was horrible. They insisted on giving you a computer controlled sidekick who would blow your ammo and healing herbs, and you had to constantly babysit.

Would have been a much better time solo.

I've been playing Braid on my Mac. GREAT sidescrolling puzzle/platformer with a really well written story.

I am back to torturing myself with the Halo 3 campaign, getting ready for ODST next month.
Some Call of Duty World at War and Team Fortress 2 in between.
I might replay Killzone 2 as well.

Trine (PC) - a really, really awesome puzzle platformer, with beautiful graphics. It's on sale on Steam right now, and you should buy it.

The Witcher (PC) - An action-RPG. Not too far into it, and it has a few problems, but overall it's pretty fun.

Tonight, I will be adding Shadow Complex to the list.

my computer isn't exactly built for gaming. well it kind of is but i need a better graphics card. anyway, all i play on it is world of warcraft and this free mmorpg called mabinogi. i want to try aion because it looks awesome but like i said, i need a better graphics card. also i have some emulators with tons of old games on them. i play that sometimes.

But you could go immediately up that first shaft to the top and while your guy was facing right shoot straight up in the air and it would fry the game, to where the character was like 6 spots over from where it would dig the tunnels and you could walk through the ground and whatnot.

MGS4 was pretty excellent. Anyone that complains about cutscenes doesn't count as an MSG fan.

And I really enjoy playing RE5, but I mostly play online, so there's no issue with bad AI

That's last game I played, I thought it was pretty good, the story is alright, but it doesn't really make any sense. I've read a few interviews with the guy who designed (boy is he an arrogant prick) and it seems like the only person it would make sense to is him.

That looks pretty good, I might get it sometime. Have you ever played Ico or Shadow Of The Colossus? They look fairly similar, but I'm not sure if they're available on PC (I played them on PS2).

Trine is nothing like Ico or Shadow Of The Colossus. It's a pure puzzle platformer. You play as 3 characters and switch between them. A wizard, thief and knight. Each can do different things. For instance, the wizard can conjure items that you draw with your mouse. The thief has a grappling hook and bow. The knight has a sword and shield.

Probably makes more sense if you see it.

Mainly Dead Space and that Viva Pinata game (the second one with Emma, of course.)

On the iphone: Pocket God and some scrabble-esque kinda game.

MGS4 is one of the best games on the PS3.

But I'm playing Star Ocean 4 on the 360.

I'm so gonna get a PS3 now that the slim is coming out and is only $299 as opposed to the previous $599. Although I might want backwards compatibility. What am I saying? I have a PS2, though it might have been nice to sell it.

I saw the review of Trine a few weeks ago and it said that the biggest drawback is that there is only about 15 levels (I think, it might have been 10 or something. I don't remember) and then that's it. But it did get a great review other than that.

There are 15 levels. All together, probably 10-12 hours of play just to get through it. Many more if you are the type of person who likes to find all of the secrets. It also sounds like they intend to release additional maps. Really though, for a game that is really good, and less than $30 I think 10-12 hours is a good value.

Sold, sir! Apparently it came out on PSN today too. I'm not home right now but first thing tomorrow I'm buying this for sure.

If you are going to get it for PSN, I would suggest you wait till you can see some reviews of it on the platform. I really don't know how you would play the wizard using analog sticks, and many of the people who have played the PC version with a controller seemed to say it was more difficult.

Fuck Steam, I can't pirate anything.

Steam has such great sales, on such a regular basis, there really is no reason for you to pirate anything. Especially a games like Trine that are made by small, indie developers.

Just bought Shadow Complex tonight. So far, it's great. It really makes me wonder why no one is making games like this anymore. The old-school metroidvania gameplay with modern graphics really makes for a good game.

Also, Runescape. Weirdly addicting for me.

Guild Wars, mind you it's been a while since I logged in and played it. I keep hearing stuff about GW2....dunno when they're actually going to release it though. I've stopped playing recently since I got sucked in to myspazz and started playing *gulps* Mobsters. They've gone overboard lately with game apps like Dog Wars, Troll Wars and Fashion Wars. The Vampires apps they have, Bloodlines and Vampires aren't too bad. But I prefer RPGS over those apps any day. I'd do WoW but don't you have to pay to play online? Any suggestions for other stellar PC games?

Splitting my time between life, Silent Hill 4: The Room on the PS2, and Silent Hill: Homecoming on the 360. When the Crash Course DLC comes out for Left 4 Dead either tomorrow or the next day, I'll be playing that too whilst counting off the days until Fallout 3: GOTY Edition comes out in October.

Another game I'm playing is Look for a Job, which isn't all that fun.

I think this is now available on the ps3 network and it's only like £15.99, looks like its worth investing in.

If there is a PSN demo, try that first. I really don't know how you would play the wizard with a controller. On the PC you have to draw physical shapes with your mouse, I don't know if that would translate well to a console.

Well i got ODST. It's not crap but it's not a GOTY either. It's worth it if you are a fan. I do think it will eventually go down in price and be a better purchase.

I hardly have any time anymore. When I do, it's Dissidia: Final Fantasy for me. It's a 3D fighting game (Kind of like Kingdom Hearts with the controls of Smash Bros). 20 good and bad guys from the first 10 numerical entries in the FF series.

It's an average fighter. But much more enjoyable if you know the characters.

Need For Speed: Shift – I'm a sucker for decent racing games and right now I'm working on so many side projects that I can't deal with a storyline of any sort lol. Finished Lost Odyssey before that. It was the best RPG I've played on the current generation of systems. Anyone played the new Star Ocean?
