What are you playing at the moment? - Page 215

I'm going back to Assassin's Creed. Not touched it in well over a year and a half but thought I might as well considering the sequel is on its way

Also just downloading Fort Zombie which I won on twitter over the weekend. It won't be winning any awards for its graphics but it sounds a really cool concept for an RPG: you play a survivor that has to build up a fort and rescue others. Basically a survival game rather than a 'kill everything that moves' type of game

Condemned was one of the first games I played on 360, and loved it. Condemned 2 improved on it and I can't wait for the finalé. It was so well-structured in terms of the end of the first game feeling like completion, then showing that they'd only laid the groundwork for the bigger picture.

Without doubt, Rumble Roses XX.

God I hate you, but that's a great shout. Maybe #100 though

Haven't really started the bugger yet, would be a nice managable challenge though

I'm really really really on the home straight of Tales of Vesperia.

I ground out some gald which is required when you finish the game to carry stuff over and thene completed the speed run (finish the game in 15 hours). This morning I finished the Bonus dungeon (required 5 runs of it to unlock the final room) and my guys are all level 185 (out of 200).

So what's left?

I'm at 890/1000 and I'm at 140 hours.

I have to complete the Colliseum with all my characters including the 200-man melee whateverthatis.
Get my guys all up to level 200 which shouldn't take long as I've a 10x exp bonus on this playthrough (cost me 3000 gald on last playthrough).
Then complete the list of monsters, items and titles.

Finally... I have to have a 3rd run through up to the first big boss (about 3 hours) and need to kill him while lower than level 15.

I know this is meaningless to you all but it's helped me work out exactly what's left :P

I also think I'll get some champagne when it's done.

edit: I have enjoyed it all too! honest

Borderlands is fun.

Basically its Diablo in an FPS package with a loose storyline, its nicely weighted so that some missions are very tough until you level up a bit but quickly you can survive attacks which would have killed you in one hit as you level and aquire items, there are loads of items which are generated in a similar way to Diablo giving permutations on 7 or 8 central weapons and enhancing them with different powers/ multipliers.

Graphics are good the enemies seem varied and the level design is very nice, sometimes you don't get enough time to explore before you want to head back for the next mission but I'm sure I'll have to grind a bit later. Apparently the online play is really good and frantic but right now I'm enjoying the single player campaign trying to figure out which wepons I prefer and whether I'm going to stick with the Siren character whos ability is to dimension shift creep up on enemies and unleash a sonic boom when she shifts back, there are solidier, tank and assassin options also so will have to try those out

At the moment I'd happily recomend it, it seems well put together and a lot of fun

I'm sorry to say that I definitely don't think Condemned 2 improved on the first.

I didn't know there was a third title coming. Any news/links?

Borderlands is excellent

It's fun right from the start but really gets going once you get up to about level 15 or so.

Playing soldier atm and up to level 20
