Currently playing little bits of Rock Band 3 (new DLC!), Ridge Racer Unbounded and Trials Evolution

Need to go back to Skyrim and even start Dark Souls/Dead Rising: Off The Record/NBA 2K12!

I've even got some Kinect games still in their wrappers!

I've been playing quite a lot lately. Usually in short doses as my attention span seems to be shot.

Saints Row: The Third: Finished this a few days ago but bought all the DLC for it now. Love it

It's ridiculously silly and so much more lighthearted than the Grand Theft Auto series. Nice steady trickle of achievements too. I've got Saints Row 2 to switch to afterwards.

Fable Heroes: I'm a Fable fangirl so this was a no brainer download earlier

Only played it briefly so far and I can see why it's had average reviews. It is very basic from what I've seen but I like co-op hack n slashers and can see it being handy when my cousins are around and we're in need of a game.

Skullgirls: Not the normal kind of thing I'd play but I was reviewing it (for a magazine, yay!). Beat em up fans will love it. It's tough to master, even on the easiest difficulty level, but very rewarding for the patient soul.

The Walking Dead: Wasn't overly fussed by the TV show but heard great things about this so thought I'd give it a shot. Loved it! Love games that offer such difficult and thought provoking decisions. Can't wait to see future episodes.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Davey's summed up how I feel really

It reminds me of a single player World of Warcraft which is ideal. Side quests do feel pretty neverending though so I can see myself playing it in short doses more than anything. In about 3 years, maybe I'll have finished every side quests

Trials Evolution: I'm enjoying this more than Trials 2 HD, probably because I'm slightly better at it :P Love competing with friends! Another one I'm mostly playing for 30 minutes here or there. Seems to work out better for me to finish a few tracks then come back later.

I know... I'm posting in a computer game thread!

However, over the past month or so I have played Driver San Francisco a few times and really rather like it. It's simple. It's not like GTA, the story is a little marmite, but the scenery, cars and graphics are great, and if you want to drive around San Francsico it's fantastic fun!

Especially some of the old US Muscle cars like the GTO, Shelby Mustang and Charger or even "the Judge"

Not that I have much time to play games, what with having a house to run, keep fit, cook and look after a princess.... however, when I do, it's a nice bit of escapism.

I've been enjoying Goldeneye that I got for the Wii - just an epic epic game which my friends and I used to play on the N64 about a million years ago, it's still probably one of my favourite FPS (though the last one I really played to death was Wolfenstein

) - just don't have much space for playing it or time unfortunately. I want to get back to it as over Christmas you couldn't rip me away from it.

My mate Theo will be pleased - he did most of the physics and handling for driver sf

Will · 03-05-2012, 08:04

It's a little crap on a keyboard, but the "feel" for drifting, handling, braking etc... feels pretty realistic to me. Not that I've ever drifted, powerslided or driven like a cock before

The frames per sec vs. actual speed of cars going past you don't really equate... i.e. you could be doing 120mph, and cars doing 50mph and you don't feel like you're going 70mph faster when overtaking.... but I hear there have been a lot of issues with that - I need to tweak my gfx settings.

Driver: San Francisco is great fun

Not usually my type of thing but I love it.

Anxiously awaiting the next Guild Wars 2 beta weekend. Last weekend was great. Some really new fresh ideas in an mmorpg, who'd have though it?! It's far more polished in beta than many other release games I've played.

Pheebs · 03-05-2012, 23:11

Just played the first episode of Telltales The Walking Dead... and LOVED IT!

Granted played it on the poota (STEAM) and there were no real explanations for controls which was a bit stupid but all in all... loved it. Want to play again and make different decisions as the situation changes depending what actions you take! AWEEEEEEESOOOOOOOME!

I was heard to frequently shout "ARGHH GERROFF ME ZOMBIE LADY TEETH FACE OF DOOM AND DIIIIIIE ARRGHrgHGHGHGHHGH... phew... ARHGRhGHGRHG MORE NOOoOOO!"

Hehehe!

Can't wait for the next episodes
