Game: What game are you currently playing??

[Xelbair]

SC2 beta got me bored already - maybe because I've been playing with my friend with Korean-like skills..
I'm going to do 100% run on last remnant after i get it back from my friend.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 on PSP. I'm currently making my way through the Master Road mode trying to unlock more characters, since the game only gives you 11 at the start.

Watching and co-playing Red Dead Redemption with my brother.

Cheating in poker's never been more fun.

If you liked the first 3 Ultimate Ninja games on PS2, then you'll probably like this one. To me it's much better than those because of the roster, 4 player battles, and I can use X-link Kai to go online and fight others, which adds a lot of replay value to the game.

played through Lost Planet 2 yesterday

awesome game if you ask me.. but it would be even more fun when u play co-op with 3 friends during ur first playthrough.
really well done.

Now I'm going to play Killzone 2, never played the first one because I never had a console before.

[animus]

Just started playing a bit of Alan Wake. It's pretty fun so far.

I'll prob pick up Red Dead Redemption in the near future. Not really itching for a sandbox game atm.

[Halodude]

for me I'm still going strong on Halo:CE for the 'puter, Minish Cap on GBA and Halo 2 PC.

Playing Split Second on the X360, pretty awesome game. It's a racing game with a twist that's probably been done before but is still a lot of fun.

Does it have split screen multiplayer?

If I have a race where it's P1 vs P2, is there an option to have bots on as well, or does it only set you to up to race?

I'm trying to decide whether I'll get this or Blur.

(After some more trailer hunting.. maybe both. Still leaning towards Blur for the multiplayer experience, but might get Split Second for the story-mode.)

[Animeniax]

Yep, there's split screen multiplayer (2-player max split I think) and you can set it up to split horizontally or vertically. Not sure about the bots when you're already on multiplayer.

Has not been done before.

And yes bots in splitscreen.
And yes splt/second > blur (imo).

Though they are both great, if you can just get both.

Triggering the events to crash your opponents has been done before I believe in one of the NFS games. It's not exactly the same where you actively trigger an event with the press of a button, more that you triggered events by driving through them.

I don't like the limited ways in which you can acquire power-up. You basically start each race drafting so you get free power-up, and most of the races I've ran in the first 4 episodes don't have a lot of areas to drift to gain power. I also wish they had a turbo boost option for those places you could use a boost.

[darkshadow]

Triggering events to crash opponents wasn't powersup based, plus it was to crash the ppl behind you (to get away from police).
And it was very very limited.

What s/s is doing is really completely different, since you are essentially firing the enviroment at your opponent, plus s/s powerplays change the tracks/create shortcuts.

And it's not limited at all, I can have 2 route changes, and a shortcut in 1 lap of a 3 lap race, that's 7 powerplays.

It all just depends on the car you are using.
Cars with a high drift rating build up meter like crazy by drifting at high speeds. Speed based cars are better for drafting cause they can keep accelerating, to the point of just pushing your opponent forward.

They also build meter pretty fast when drifting at very high speeds, but they tend to be very unstable when doing so.

Also take more risks, the close miss bonusses build up meter pretty fast too.

I do agree on having a boost option though, it could've made the game a bit more complete. But I guess they wanted the focus on powerplays, and not just burning meter for boosting.

Portal was free to get on Steam some time ago, and I've decided to play it now that I'm kinda bored of MW2.

Surprisingly, refreshingly fun. I'm on level 14 I think. I wonder how many levels there will be.

The computer's pretty funny at times. It tried to say "Wiiiiiiiiiii !!!" when I leapt one time, but in a pseudo-emotional AI voice. Kind of like how Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to smile in T2: Judgement Day.

[Archangel]

Lmao, you're just now playing one of the most awsomest games ever?

And i really mean that, the humor and mechanics are just so amazingly well done that 3 years later I'm still not bored with it

[KrayZ33]

"Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said 'goodbye', and you were like 'no waaaaaay'? And then I was all 'we pretended we were going to murder you'. That was great."

"That thing you burned up isn't important to me. It's the fluid catalytic cracking unit. It made shoes for orphans."

yap, the humor is really great.

[Xelbair]

"and here is your cake" when driving into fire pit was awesome :>

[Penner]

So i'm just now about to start playing "Singularity", and from the trailers and videos i've seen, it looks pretty damn cool.

Here's a 10min gameplay video
