What are you playing at the moment? - Page 209

Rock Band 2 at the moment going for Bladder of steel (all songs in a row without stopping). Nearly 3 hours in at the moment, in a bit of pain but nothing major. Not even half way through yet =/

Currently playing Need for Speed: Shift. Really enjoying it at the moment, has a fantastic difficulty curve and also perfect assist settings so you can set the challenge just how you want it. Very good indeed.

And graphically it's still stunning me every time I play it.

OPERATION FLASHPOINT - DRAGON RISING
One of the best realistic military shooter. The battle is intense and very good. A close replica of the real thing apparently. I have my copy, and it took me over 4 hours or so to do two missions [Counting number of failed attempts].

The game is annoyingly good lol. Yeah there are the occasional bug here and there - Tree getting in view and popping up in weird places, the game is still very good.

I haven't tried it online yet, so cant offer any comment on the online side, I think there is a coop mode online as well.

The game sort of combine the slow pace of SOCOM with a realistic military edge to it. In the missions, you do not have to kill all the enemies, in fact it is recommended you be stealthy and only kill if necessary to complete your mission.

The A.I is pretty good too. If you shoot down one of the enemy, it will call for the medic and if patched up, he's back up fighting. If the player get shot, a medic is needed asap or the player bleeds to death. Just like in real life!

In the heat of the battle, you have to think and act like you will in real life. A.I will actively and stealthily look you, they will flank you from one left or right. . . .Awesome. Even call for back up or Air strike if needed.

I like the game, and it offers a long term playability in my opinion. And for 28quid from Shopto. You cant go wrong.

I bashed through COD4 in a day on Sunday, love the SP campaign.

I got Dragon Rising free with my new CPU, very flash indeed, though I'm not getting on with it. I fear console shooters have dulled my PC skills

Fifa 10. On my 2nd season so far. Loving it!

Davey_Pitch · 13-10-2009, 10:44

Fifa 10, just starting my 3rd season, have won every trophy available with Everton so far and my Virtual Pro has about 52% of the accomplishments completed. It tops Fifa 09 in pretty much every way, I can see it dominating my playing time for the foreseeable future.

I've had quite a quiet week.

I finished a basic run through of Lucidity which I've spoken about elsewhere ("http://www.playeronepodcast.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5466"). After the fact I do think that for some strange reason the game peaks in difficulty half way through act 2 and calms down a bit and becomes almost enjoyable in act 3. I've prepared to pull back some of my anger towards it but for the most part I'm happy to stick by my scathing comments.

I'm still plodding through Risen. I'm enjoying it but I'm starting to wonder if I've got the time for big time sinks like this. Despite the criticism thrown at the 360 version it's really not too bad and perfectly playable. I'll definately finish it though whether I'll be bothered to do a 2nd/3rd play through for the points is debatable.

I still come back to Tales of Vesperia. I managed a 3 hour run this morning as I've the flu and I'm supposed to be taking it easy (netting 5 achievement points! woohoo!) taking my play time to 50 hours. I'm about 2/3rds through a first run through and nearly at the end of chapter 2 (out of 3) and I'm still enjoying the ride. I'm determined to finish and sell the thing this year; heck I still have Star Ocean IV sat on the shelf.

Also picked up Scriblenauts yesterday. I know the controls are pinickity and sometimes what you want to do doesn't work but it's still a lot of fun and will be perfect for my trip abroad this weekend.

I've Fallout 3 GOTY heading my way. Dragon Age: Origins and Assassins Creed 2 on preorder so I've really got to get some of my back log out the way (lets not mention 'Splosion Man, which I'm nearly through too). I'm pretending MW:2 isn't coming out atm though I may have talked the better half into letting me excange my Core+20GB lounge 360 for my gaming Elite and me getting the 250GB MW:2 Bundle.... just maybe...

You know you want to!

I have mine on pre-order, can't wait

I'll be playing Uncharted 2 when I get home as it just arrived along with the case of Red Bull.

KennyBhoy · 17-10-2009, 15:30

I have just started playing Uncharted 2 today. It's goooooooooorgeous! Only played until the third level but i will play more later

Streeteh · 17-10-2009, 15:53

Currently on chapter 21 of uncharted 2. Best game i've played since Valkyria Chronicles, possibly the best game i've played this generation but certainly one of the greatest games of all time.
