Default What Are You Playing Right Now?

I've noticed that there are a fair amount of people here that play games and figured it would be interesting to see what everyone is playing and maybe strike up random conversations.

I usually only get maybe 45-60 minutes a day to play so I've been playing a lot of GTA4 on the PS3 and trying to finish it. It seems like it's going on forever but I'm sure the end is in sight.

Also, on the 360 I've been trying to figure out how to play Madden 09 (I got my first touchdown the other day!!) but my whole game is not very good (both offense and defense). And when I get the time I usually try and get in a multiplayer game of Call of Duty 4 in. Not that great at that game either but it's coming.

Down the pipeline once I finish GTA4 I'm going to get started on Metal Gear Solid 4 and maybe try and fit in Dead Space (just bought it). I plan on getting Fable II and Little Big Planet this/next week so maybe around January I'll get a chance to play those.

I just bought Metal Gear Solid 4 and so far I really like it. The next game I play is going to be Bioshock, but I don't know how long it will take to beat Metal Gear Solid. Of course NHL 09 as well, should add that.

Bioshock was an amazing game. Excellent atmosphere. If you live in a house or an apartment where your neighbors won't be bothered make sure to turn the sound up. It's an excellent game.

NHL 09. There are other games?

Seriously though, playing in the EASHL on the PS3 CP Fatas is a blast!

NHL 09 is all that I play right now. I would love to be able to sit down and play some COD4 multiplayer, but I just can't get into it for some reason. Maybe it has to do with getting absolutely slaughtered by little 14 year old punks every time I try.

Bioshock is overrated IMO... right now I'm playing NHL 09 and MGS4, planning to get Fallout 3 and COD5: WAW soon...

I do, however, play TF2 at great lengths. Other game I fire up from time to time include, but are not limited to: Silent Hunter, World of Warcraft, and PRMM.

Thinking of trying my hand at Eve Online, looks kinda nifty.

I am VERY open to opinions on solid PC based games in the RTS and FPS genre.

Fifa 09 has taken over from NHL 09. Both games are great.

I play Hobowars @ www.hobowars.com to kill time at school.

And currently Mario Kart for Wii. My sister in law comes back tommorow and she is a GH addict so I am betting it will come back into the mix soon.

I can't really get used to the 2-joystick thing, so that limits what console games I can play.

Excellent game. A must have for any Wii owner. Hopefully more good platformers like De Blob are released on any system (although LBP looks to be another good step).

Right now I'm playing The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. Damn good PC RPG. Much better than Mass Effect.

Don't lie to the people ... we know what you're playing

Rock Band 2 is the only thing that's been able to pull nhl 09 out of my system since september. Between my Be a Pro, the Fatas and Five Alarm Lemonade I should be content until Spring (and that's all without LittleBigPlanet even in there).
