If any at all.

Just a topic to create conversation/see what kinds of games people are into.

I am currently playing:

Team Fortress 2
Worms Reloaded
Dragon Quest IX


And I am soon going to work my way through the Half-Life series.


What about you, Cherubi?

I dug myself into a hole. I bought a bunch of games for used or cheap recently, all of which I'm technically 'currently playing', though few of which I'm more than an hour into. The list of games is:

No More Heroes 2
Super Paper Mario (re-buy after lending it to a friend)
New Super Mario Bros Wii
Muramasa
Wario Land Shake it
MadWorld
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (Echoes of Time)
Metroid Other M
God of War
God of War II
Shadow of the Colossus
Metal Gear Solid 3
Fatal Frame
Jak II
Jak III
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Dark Cloud
Devil May Cry II
Devil May Cry III
Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Megaman Starforce II

I believe that's it. I haven't even touched some of these yet.

Wow, that... That's a lot of games.

I try to limit myself to two or three at a time, so I do not get all confused with the different stories, and in this case only Dragon Quest is the game that has a story.

But that's 22 games there :\

Good luck with all them, I guess.

Also, let me know what you think of Metroid: Other M. I am thinking of adding it to me "Buy when cheap" list, but I keep hearing extremely different opinions of it.

Edit: Oh, and yesterday, literally seconds after creating this topic, I started playing through Alien Swarm again. Awesome game, which only seems to take an hour or so to complete :D

Yoshi's Island GBA and Advance Wars Dual Strike sit inside the DS I bring to work and play whenever I'm not servicing planes.

I play the wii every so often but I'm not currently playing any one game or anything. It's on a whim.

Other M is deserving of mixed opinions. It's a very different Metroid game... It doesn't really have that Metroid feel. Even Prime 3 captured that more than this game does. The storyline so far (as far as I can tell, I'm about a third of the way through) is almost cringe-worthy poor, but it gets a lot better after the opening cutscene. The voice acting for Samus could have been a lot better as well.

As for the gameplay, the only complaint I have is that it feels a little repetitive. Beyond that, it's really fun to be able to leap around that quickly with Samus, charge up shots that feel very powerful, lock onto enemies and shoot genuinely devastating missiles, perform lethal strikes as finishing moves, and Sensemove, a form of dodging attacks that are about to hit you.

All in all, it's what should be expected of Team Ninja. Great gameplay, epic cutscenes, sub-par story and voice acting. I'm happy that they didn't ruin Samus's dignity as a character like they do with so many other female characters.

I should note that I'm actually getting into the story now that I'm decently far in. There's a certain small, furry creature that I have speculations about.

EDIT: A few hours later, I take back all I said about the story being bad. It's not great or anything, but it's actually really suspenseful and reveals important details at just the right pace. My only complaints now are Samus' voice and personality, as well as Adam's STUPID authorization of my abilities. Though that does lead to a half-funny half-morbid scene later on. Also:

Ridley's back.

I'm currently playing:

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
Spiderman - Shattered Dimensions

So far, I've beaten Terra's story in BBS and am currently on Ventus' story. Currently playing through Spiderman like the crazed fanboy I am, shit's really fun. I really like the Ultimate universe more so then Amazing or 2099. Haven't gotten to Noir yet though.

After these games, I already have a bunch of games I'm planning on getting. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood in November (still waiting on the beta) and then hopefully Golden Sun in the Winter.

I remember you saying that. Now that I'm in college, I actually can buy those games. XD DMC2 was only four bucks used, so I decided to buy it. I couldn't find 1, and isn't 4 a PS3 game? Anyway, I'll be sure to get around to DMC3 as soon as I'm done with my load of homework over the next few days.

Ya and when they finally reveal the new devil may cry name after 2 years of waiting...its a reboot that shits all over the franchise. Dante looks like a 16 year old Adam Lambert, what the hell Capcom? All I know is that they better change him back god damit.

Have to agree about Dante's new look, it sucks... I have never been a huge fan of the series, but to me he has always looked like a badass and what not.

The new look is just a joke...
