Hexic HD.
I ruddy love that game and I am determined to get the last achievement, the most challenging (but the enjoyable kind) one that I've sought. Thought I was going to get it twice over the last two days only to make a stupid error and wastefully collapse 4 stars into each other when I had 13 of them on-screen (you need 16 to make 5 black pearls) and wish the pearls made it would create a lot more space to build the last 6 stars and complete the game.

Just playing Batman AA on the xbox. I really am impressed with this game. Good depth with all the side stuff to do and the setting is fantastic.

I'm a bit behind the times but I tend to wait till games are dirt cheap. I also have Blue Dragon coming (for £4)

Too. Much. Rock Band. Signed up for a testing group to get some songs published. 9 people, 2 songs each (not inc me), each song is about an hour to test minimum. My eyes are practically melting.

I haven't actually played a proper game in ages, it feels weird =/

Civilization IV + expansions

Picked it up from Steam as it's only £6.25 and I have to say I'm loving it, wasn't sure how I was going to get on with a turn based game but I finally got the hang of it, managed to sink close to 20 hours into it so far and I'm only on my 4th game.

Still way behind the curve but now playing Project Gotham Racing 4 on the 360, very enjoyable for the most part so far. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed racing games on consoles as it has been years since I've properly played one.

I'm replaying Splinter Cell: Double Agent at the moment. Personally I think it's the worst of the lot so far, which is putting me off getting the new one. Enemies are far too easily spooked while you're trying to creep around for one thing. Another is that you're given so little non-lethal ammo. What's the point in having two airfoil rounds if it takes both to knock someone out? The character often takes up too much room on the screen, or the camera is too close... whichever. The main gun is just incredibly unwieldy to use too...

Hopefully the new one goes back to basics.

NokkonWud · 11-05-2010, 12:10

The new one doesn't go back to basics, it doesn't really go back to anything, as it doesn't feel like a Splinter Cell game.

It is however a very good game, but the serious stealth sections of past games are gone, replaced by a more in your face action style.

Mainly playing Fallout 3 on my laptop (mainly in work when I should actually be doing work), and getting back into Trials HD on the Xbox. I'm waiting/hoping review copies of both Alan Wake and Skate 3 arrive in the next day or two as I've kinda fell away from the Xbox recently and I'm hoping one/both of them will grab me by the throat and keep hold of me for a while.

My copy of Alan Wake arrived today

About time as it was posted Friday!
Typically I haven't had much chance to play it yet though

So no opinion of it yet.

Been playing Nier the last few days and quite like it. Nothing amazing yet but considering it's had some considerable price drops, if it carries on it'd be worth £15.

Still need to play more of Bad Company 2 as I've still hardly touched it

Hopefully once things settle down as I've currently got 6 different games to be writing about at the moment

topped playing Just Cause 2 after getting to something crazy like 48.33% completion and not really touched the 360 since.

Since then I've fallen into the trap of playing Tiger Woods 2004. Again. Against my dad.

(we both suck at it)
