What's everyone else playing game wise?

I'm playing Beyond Good and Evil right now and I must say it's quite the adventure game. The characters are a little annoying but they seem to have grown on me (been playing for about 4 hours or so). I can't believe this game is already in the bargin bins because it sold so poor... I guess the market for adventure games just isn't there anymore.

I happen to like good and evil too. Hope they make a sequle.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I've taken up a new game........Skeet......It's one of thoese games that actually require me to get out of the house and away from the computer / xbox / game cube. It's lots of fun and you get to meet people face to face and get to use REAL GUNS.

I recently finished Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna. The gameplay is appalling; it's the most linear game I've ever played. The graphics are gorgeous, though.
I'm currently playing Mah Jongg - from http://www.mahjongg.com/ - while waiting for my £2.49 copy to arrive from http://www.xplosiv.net/
When I'm not 0wning East, West, North and South Wind I can be found on the battlefields of Nogova in Operation Flashpoint, bravely rebelling against the godless communist aggressors who have invaded.

Final Fantasy X-2: Pretty good, but not up to par with Final Fantasy X. It contains a lot of the girl pop singer trend that's in Japan right now, which really has no place in a Final Fantasy game (I mean trends in general don't belong there, not just the girl pop singer trend). Oh yeah, and blitzball sux this time, since all you can do is manage a team.

I'm also playing Tenchu 3: Wrath of Heaven when I get bored. Best ninja game ever!

I received Warlords Battlecry IV for Christmas. It's a bit tedious at times, but it really consumes hours and hours.

HaloPC looks gorgeous and plays great. I don't understand the complaints I've read about it playing slowly. My brother played through the whole game the week after Christmas. It played great on his machine, too. (AthlonXP 2400+ at 12x166, A7N8X Deluxe, 1x512MB PC2700, ATI Radeon 9500 Pro, WindowsXP, Viewsonic PF815 CRT at 1280x960).

I'm really looking forward to Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicals, Final Fantasy X-2 and Gran Turismo 4. Cant wait for those to be released.

Playing "How fast can I program an invoicing module that will interface our order entry system with quickbooks" starting tomorrow. I just finished a game called "Completely rewriting the way additional charges work from scratch and making all the reports work with the new way and both the old ways so that writing the invoicing module will be a lot easier and then also waiting 4 days to finally get to deploy it since the bosses are too busy." That was a fun game.

Webster, It sounds like your games kinda suck. You should try something more fun like "banging your head repeatedly into wall" or "piss off the mob". While the later has alot less replay value, it's a much more "Intense" experience. Twisted Evil

How about "At least I have more than 8 weeks to prepare and a somewhat better base for my next marathon?" That's a fun game.

cs4life. I also just started playing DoD finally. When I'm really bored, I'll play Need For Speed Underground, NBA 2004, NHL 2004, Tiger Woods 2002, BF1942, C&C Generals, or Warcraft III: Frozen Throne. But mostly CS. ;P

I seriously doubt it. This game had high development cost and sold horribly everywhere. It wasn't even out for a month and the price was dropped to $19.99 on most platforms. It's a damn shame to because I'd love to see another game based on the series.

I think Prince of Persia is next on my list after Beyond Good and Evil. Hopefully I'll be able to sneak it in between now and finals Very Happy
