Skyrim (pc). Creation kit is coming out soon. Very excited for that! Rayman Origins (360) played a few levels last month and loving it so far.

Still working through my fall backlog:

Skyrim - I have mixed feelings on it, but I'm sticking with it to see the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves' Guild storylines.
Shadows of the Damned
Resistance 3
Rage
Super Mario 3D Land
MW3
AC: Revelations
Zelda: Skyward Sword
To The Moon - indie game on the PC. Interesting so far.

Dark Souls

-rang the first bell in NG+ with my Pyromancer
-started a sorcerer, up to the Taurus Demon
-started a theif, up to the Taurus Demon

Bastion

-just purchased this on sale and will probably start it tonight or tomorrow

Resident Evil 5

-not a big RE guy, but I loved RE4

Dungeon Defenders

-working on leveling up my apprentice and squire, probably play it a couple hours a week



May possibly play Skyrim some more, I started it up last week and played for around 45 minutes and was bored.

May possibly start up Rage, however I haven't been in a FPS mood for a while now.

COD: MW3 - Can't stop playing the multiplayer, dammit!

Skyrim - Major quest glitch has slowed the play time down a bit, but still active.

Picking up Soul Calibur 5 tonight.

Skyrim - Level 18 currently. Screwing around with everything except the main quest line it seems. From trying out Companions quests to Thieves Guild quests and every miscellaneous and side quest objective inbetween. Having a ball but realizing that this could conceivably take me six months to a year of playing time. It reminds me of WoW in the sense that I can spend 2-3 hours just screwing around with talents like Enchanting, Alchemy and Smithing. Thank goodness I got a guide for this, I would be so lost on the finer points of the game.

That's honestly it. (as long as you don't count You Don't Know Jack and Rock Band). I will probably be reviewing Darkness 2 so I will have to set aside some time for that.

Still rocking Skyward Sword (just finished the Mining Facility).

Next week brings Resident Evil: Revelations to the plate and the following week will all be about UFC Undisputed 3.

Resident Evil 4 HD

are the visual significantly improved? i loved this game, but i don't want to buy it again if there isn't a big difference.

Dungeon Siege III. Not a bad little hack and slash/dungeon crawl. Nice break from Skyrim.

Backlogged/unfinished/wanting to finish: (All gotten in the last two months, crazy sales)
Skyrim
Saints Row
Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon
Bastion
Burnout Crash
Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock
Rock Band 3
Dead Island
Ace Combat 6
Duke Nukem Forever (maybe)

Maybe a half dozen more that are a little older in the backlog. I was very tempted to get FFXIII-2 today with the Amazon bonus but I truly don't need to add anything to the backlog. (If Best Buy had a similar deal, I would have, because I've got a bunch of credit there.)

Does anyone here have to finish one game before moving onto another? I have both Arkham City and MW3, but they've been in shink wrap since Christmas as I'm still working my way through Goldeneye: Reloaded. Just wondering if I was the only one. I'm the same way about watching TV series on DVD...have to finish the season before jumping to something new. There must be a name for this disease. :)

Sorry, I'm the wrong guy to ask as I never played it on PS2/Gamecube/Wii. :o Better late than never I guess.
It looks fine to me though , if not spectacular. I'm enjoying the gameplay enough that the graphics aren't distracting me one way or the other (I'm halfway through the castle).

Nothing was done to the graphics for RE4 HD, its just upscaled.

As for me, i'm currently playing:

On PC:
Call of Duty: MW3
LA Noire
RAGE (sort of... on the backburner)

On 360:
Madden 12

That's it for now, just killing time before ME3 next month.

Final Fantasy XIII 33 hours in.

You poor soul, don't have any good games to play?

Just kidding of course as I wasn't a huge fan of it, but some people absolutely love it.

I'm currently working through Symphony of the Night again.

I like the game. I am going to finish it. Then on to the next game. I won't play XIII-2 until it hits the 20$ mark.

Yeah, i heard they fixed a lot of the gripes people had with XIII, but the story is apparently the worst story ever for a video game. That's just what I heard though.

Still backlog games for me. Working through Tomb Raider Underworld and NFS Hot Pursuit.

no i am pretty much the same way. i have been playing Dark Souls almost exclusively since probably mid-December. i have fired up a few of my new games just to see how they look, but i haven't made much progress in them. I just keep coming back to Dark Souls. Just when I think I am getting burned out on it, I fall in love with it all over again (cheesy i know).

I really liked FFXIII, although I can see how some people wouldn't. I also really liked FFX-2 so perhaps I'm not the target FF demographic/fanboy.

Very rarely do I dive into a game and give it 20-30 hours in a row (not all at once). Even rarer do I totally finish it before playing something else. If a games good I might get into it for 5-10 hours then play something else for that same amount of time. Other times I'll toss in a game for a level or two then play something else for a longer session.
(I do like watching TV shows at least a season at a time, but even that can vary - I've got 5 different series in the DVD player right now, depending on the mood.)

Playing through Halo: Reach with my son.

Putting too much of my spare time into COD:MW3 Mulitplayer (only 10% into Veteran campaign).

On the horizon: Halo:ODST and Batman: Arkham Asylum (both still in shrinkwrap)

it is so odd. i have put hundreds of hours into all of the Call of Duty games except World at War, and I have NO desire to purchase MW3. It is so weird. I guess I subconsciously said "enough" after putting tons of hours into Black Ops.

Just wrapped up:

The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword – Wii
Resident Evil Revelations – 3DS

Both of which were AAA titles. I really enjoyed the fact that Skyward Sword was essentially a prequel to the entire series and the episodic structure of RE Revelations. Right now though, its all about UFC Undisputed 3.
