What are you playing at the moment?

There's been a fairly recent trend towards episodic point-and-clickies. The new Sam & Max games didn't get received very well but they're an option (and from what I've heard, the adventure side of things is still good, it's just the jokes that aren't there). Penny Arcade Adventures got a fairly good reception but I assume you'd need to know a bit about the PA universe to get all the references.
Sam & Max is available on Xbox soon; Penny Arcade is on it now. Both are, of course, available on the PC, platform of kings.

Mister Brigden, if I find the money somewhere, I shall buy you an xbox and show you the light

Only because they're the only people who can afford them these days!

Pheebs: Sam and Max when it's on the 360 Arcade would be ideal I'd say If I get any more PC Point N Clickers to review, I'll send them on to you

Oooh and there's a Wallace and Gromit adventure game coming out very soon

Currently playing Dawn of War II on PC. Not bad and the single player campaign is ok. It has some balancing issues that really need to be addressed in a future patch. Suppression fire is rendered pretty useless against most classes. Not a bad RTS if you want to dive in for a quick mission here and there. Still not as good as Company of Heroes though

The whole Games for Windows works seamlessly and quite a few of my pro PC gamers are impressed with it

Don't know what to say really, the controls feel different but they never bothered me, i can't say i feel any difference between the full game and the demo but i never really took note. They didn't hamper me at all and i've completed the game on the second highest difficulty and nearly half way through on the unlockable highest. To put it in perspective, many people have compared it to the highest difficulty in cod4 which i'm told was very challenging, so the controls can't be that bad.

The multiplayer has the controls loosened up for more of a standard FPS feel to liven up the action. I think this controller delay people speak of was a deliberate design decision. Many don't like it but i do now after adjusting so meh.

Had a few hours on Dead Space. Done the first two levels. Its taken me 3 hours due to exploring and not knowing what I'm doing.

What a setting, what an atmosphere.

Don't know why my weapons kills haven't hit 30 yet on any weapon.
