What Game are You Presenly Playing?

Dyre Straits · May 19, 2007, 11:06 AM

I've taken a break from Oblivion and its addons for a little change of pace.

(Gasp! Don't faint, guys!!!! LOL!)

After getting used to the changes that were made between the first Flat Out and Flat Out 2, I've gone back and started afresh. I'm now racing via FPV -- that is, through the windshield view -- and really enjoying it again. I've been so much of a Third Person View player that I'm finally, FINALLY, getting the hang of FPV playing after changing views in Oblivion so much.

Anyway, one of my most recent races in Flat Out 2 was a real bump and grind race just almost right up to the finish. If you haven't gotten this game, I really recommend it. It won't break the budget at all! And, there's plenty of fun to be had in all the little neat stunt events. Bowling, Darts, Soccer, Baseball, to name a few.

Here's an instant replay of that bump n grind race I just mentioned:

Bump n Grind to First Place

NOTE: If the movie doesn't automatically stream, just right click the link and choose Save Target As.

It's been captured using FRAPS at full size, 30 FPS. Should look pretty good.

**Mousey** · May 19, 2007, 12:29 PM

i've been playing the painkiller demo off Steam, man i can't get enough of it ;p
i'm also playing WoW at the mo (Gasp x2)

Da_Jewish_Fonzy · May 19, 2007, 12:51 PM

Far Cry for some reason...and I don't know why because I was never big on it to begin with.

Also, BF2 and CS:S

moeness86 · May 19, 2007, 01:31 PM

still fiddling with Oblivion, repeating it over and over

**Mousey** · May 19, 2007, 01:36 PM

Farcry is awesome, i got FarCry evo for the sexbox but i've left my controller adapters at my friend's house <_<

BlueMak · May 19, 2007, 02:01 PM

Command and Conquer Renegade and Zero Hour as always. Also X-Com and People's General. Thinking of starting again War Plan Orange.

GutterPunk · May 19, 2007, 02:03 PM

BF2 142 Im going to reactivate WoW Starcraft, diablo II, warcraft 3 DOTA, supreme commander, ut2k4

Lowfat · May 19, 2007, 04:11 PM

Mostly Supreme Commander.....with a bit of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Oblivion on the side.

**temeteus82** · May 19, 2007, 04:12 PM

JA2 (mod 1.33) and SH4

BlueMak · May 19, 2007, 05:15 PM

Temeteus, is SH4 as good as SH3? If SH=Silent Hunter.

SH4 = Silent Hunter 4

Yes it's the best WWII sub game so far!

CDsDontBurn · May 19, 2007, 06:17 PM

i've started playing Dark Messiah again lately. i want to know a different ending than the one i had last time. i'll have to play it one more time afterwards again too to find out the third ending for the game.

Such a good game

I played the crap out of it earlier this year

Beat it both ways.

topbob · May 19, 2007, 07:39 PM

Team Fortress Classic, pretty much it, just got the new Zelda for Wii so I'll finally have something to play. Still recovering from quitting WoW a number of months ago.

OmegaRED · May 19, 2007, 08:08 PM

Medieval 2: Total War with various mods and C&C 3: Tiberium Wars.

Vikingod · May 19, 2007, 09:13 PM

Guild Wars, NHL06, and C&C 3. I've also been playing some multiplayer STALKER and Halo.

Just finished Call of Juarez and Rainbow 6 Vegas. Both excellent games, especially CoJ.

BabylenTatarsky · May 20, 2007, 12:50 AM

I've been trying to get back into Pro Evolution Soccer 6. It's hard though, knowing so much has been taken out of the 360 version.

Asmoday · May 20, 2007, 01:39 AM

Armed Assault

niceguyrichy · May 20, 2007, 02:33 AM

I've been playing Operation Flashpoint when I get a minute, and restarted playing Deus Ex just for kicks as well

I like old school

Zelig · May 20, 2007, 05:21 AM

Civilization IV and Warlords expansion. This is the most fun I've had playing a game in a loooong time. I never really liked Civ 3, so was playing Civ 2 with various mods and scenarious until I got Civ 4.

Multiplayer is finally polished nicely, no more year-long PBEM games. Civ 4 was built for multiplayer from the ground up, and runs on fairly old hardware, so almost anyone with a computer from the past 5 years can run it to some degree. New expansion getting released this summer, I'm excited.

Asides from that, I ran through KotOR 1 again. I was going to do KotOR 2, but figured I'd wait for the Team Gizka restoration patch to get released.

I picked up NWN Diamond for $20 a few months ago, installed it yesterday, and started today, seems alright for a hack-n-slash, nothing like Baldur's Gate or Planescape: Torment, more like IWD, but it should keep me occupied for a while.

Also been playing some multiplayer UT2k4 with friends. Up until last September, I was on dial-up, then at school, the firewall's stop me from running servers to the outside. I'm enjoying my connection now, and my ability to have some larger games without lugging my computer to other people's houses.

I find it handy that I don't have any real desire for recent games, so I can run all of my games cranked to their highest settings with my modest hardware.

savak · May 21, 2007, 07:01 AM

Resident Evil 4. When you get use to the slow paced it's really enjoyable game.

riles9262 · May 21, 2007, 05:06 PM

kotor 2 (never finished it the first time) and diablo 2, which I still love all these years later.

OmegaRED · May 21, 2007, 07:01 PM

Installed Half Life 2 and am playing it with the FAKEFACTORY Cinematic Mod v4 which makes textures and models ultra high rez.

**MIG-31** · May 21, 2007, 07:36 PM

**dj_stick** · May 22, 2007, 02:28 PM

i've been playing an open source remake of Wing Commander Privateer lately, and re-installed Half-Life 2 late last week, but haven't had the chance to play it

clicker666 · May 22, 2007, 03:01 PM

Rainbow Six: Vegas. Was playing STALKER but found it too hard and just not engaging enough for me to stick with it. Almost finished Spiderman 3 but got fed up at the end with the stupid button pushing sequences.

Privateer ftw! Although I haven't played Gemini Gold all that much.

Judas · May 22, 2007, 04:57 PM

Randomletters · May 22, 2007, 06:46 PM

Still WoW. My accounts expired for a bit so im just messing around on a friends.

Little bit of GoW online but im so dam terrible at that.

Dyre Straits · May 23, 2007, 03:29 AM

I'm playing, Thief: Deadly Shadows, at the moment. Having spent so much time sneaking around in Oblivion, I've got plenty of practice for this title.
