What are you playing at the moment?

I think in my case there were just too many niggles with Dead Space for me, and it just felt repetitive for more than just all the backtracking (which I agree makes sense to the story). Tbh I can't remember the main things that annoy me but that says it all really, so mediocre in my mind I can't even remember what bugged me
Just didn't see the fuss I guess Or I did, but not for anywhere near as long as everyone else did.

I have played up to chapter 4 and will resume play tomorrow. I think it's fantastic so far and i'm kicking myself i have left it this late to get round to it. I won't be following Nokkon and Streeteh though and playing 3 times through

I have Pure arriving tomorrow too. So will play that in between Dead Space

RE2 is surely too short to be dubbed the best ever? It was ridiculously short, although very good. I do think it paled in comparison to Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Resident Evil 5 (in co-op) though. Not played enough of RE4 to fully judge it.

Pure is okay, but I'd go for playing Fuel instead, it's just more impressive, open and more to do IMO. Plus Pure has the difficulty curve from hell.

I have Fuel in my list too but Boomerang decided to send Pure. The game bottom of my list.

Well apparently not as myself and many others view it as the best ever . As with everything it's all a matter of opinion.

I completed Resident Evil 1 quicker than i did 2, also lets not forget 2 technically had two completely different playthroughs as after you had completed it with one character you could do it with the other. I know resident evil 1 had the same sort of thing but the variation between characters was very small, whereas Resi 2 was almost like two completely different games, new enemies, new locations, new characters, new weapons etc.

Silent Hill 1 + 2 were longer, i'll give you that, but imo Code Veronica didn't deserve to be listed as one of the greatest, it paled in comparison to the others.

Not a lot as I've been very busy with the kiddliewinks and visiting parents.

But I did get Splosion Man which despite being far tougher than I expected is great fun, if in small bursts. Think n+ meets Cloning Clyde.
I also finally picked up Secret of Monkey Island SE and I've played through the first chapter; wonderful in every way.
I've also put an hour into Red Faction: Guerilla and it's blown my socks off. It looks amazing and is so much fun; I just need some time to myself to give it some real attention.

We should have a crack at the Splosion Man co-op Abooie if you're up for it

Great idea

I have at last put L4D down for a bit and start Fallout 3.

I've just managed to seascape Vault 101.

I had to kill the overseer to get the password. Not sue if this is going to have an impact on the game later on as the the girl was a bit upset with my character.. ?
