I can't bring myself to play indepth games anymore. I play browser games to kill 30 minutes to an hour but nothing beyond that. Funny part is that I bought several games off of Steam two months ago and haven't installed them.

heh

SWTOR as well. I held out till last week sometime, to actually buy it and try it out. I tried it in beta, and was really disgusted at how horrid the game played/felt, and it really soured my taste towards it. But a couple friends nagged enough, so I bought it.


Actually surprised how much I'm enjoying it. Sure its fairly linear, feels alot like a 1 or 2 player co-op type game rather than an MMO. but so far the story is amazing, (sith) and its really keeping me entertained.


That and still playing EvE now and then.

Trying to finish The Witcher 2, that I started last March. Have Skyrim on pause until enough overhauling mods come out to turn it into the game I wanted it to be. Playing Kingdoms of Amalur and Magicka (somewhat). Have The Darkness 2 and Alan wake installed, but have not played them yet.
Too many TV shows and books distract me so I can't put in the hours required to finish up all these games, haha.

As for the future, I'm waiting on Mass Effect 3, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, and keeping an eye on The Secret World and Tera as MMOs I'm semi-interested in.

Of course any news of Blizzard's next MMO will always be welcome, but I don't expect anything until they are still releasing WoW expansions and WoW subs are high, so probably not this year.

I stopped really playing WoW while on my Intel sabbatical, around the Nov-Dec timeframe. It just lost it's luster, and I also got Skyrim as a gift from my wife at Christmas. My daughter and her friend have been playing some SWTOR on the computers at our house and just this week I bought my own game so I can have my own account. I'll give it a go as it looks kind of interesting right now.

Minecraft mostly.

Now and then some Supreme Commander:Forged Alliance. It's still the best RTS ever made.

Supreme Commander 2 is pretty but doesn't hold a candle to FA. I regret pre-ordering SC2, because it was a letdown. I didn't even finish the campaign, I just went back to FA to play skirmishes again.

There are loads of mods for FA too, one I like the most is Sorian AI, a really nice AI overhaul. A lot smarter with nukes and experimental units.

I need Minecraft explained to me. Why is this so popular? I tried out the mobile version. Had absolutely no idea what I was suppose to do. The website says it's about placing blocks to build stuff. Doesn't even remotely sound fun. I must be missing something?

The mobile version is limited.

The game encompasses a practically limitless sandbox world with some physics and a lot of Lego feel to it. Also, zombies and skeletons and more. There's stuff to make simple circuits to do all sorts of neat things, like control doors and pistons to move blocks.

Somewhat randomly picked, here's a vid from one of my favourite youtubers who build minecraft stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kAFrcT6wtU Watch any of his world tour episodes to see some beautiful stuff made in Minecraft.

D3 beta..World of Tanks...SWTOR (just trying to get to 50 then ending it). I am not sure if I am done with MMOs but I am tiring of the formula. My goal is to finish Skyrim, Mass Effect 2 and Witcher 2 (quite the list of single player RPGS!!)

WOT is awesome. The grind really sucks if you're trying to get to a particular tank, but if you can find a tank that you like and don't have to pay attention to the grind any more, than it's a crapload of fun. Between EVE and WoT I don't have time for anything else on the PC, when I do get on it.

I was playing it too until a week or two ago, but as a British player my account remains cancelled until I get confirmation that I can continue to play under SOE and not have my account sold off to a crap German outfit operating at the bottom of the pay-to-win end of the market.
