I am playing Sacred 2, not a bad game at all. Too colourful maybe, but entertaining. The only thing i would add are subtitles.

Scratches – Directors Cut. A first person game I’m really liking, although Riven is the only first person game I truly love in that format.

Solid story line and great house layout. I could move in there today were it not for the “evil” factor. Right now, I’m stuck in the guest bedroom having my second dream and trying to figure out where the creepy sound is coming from. It’s driving me CRAZY. I need to get out soooooooon!!

Ooh, handy hint! My new stylus should be here in the next day or two, but in the meantime I'll give that a go! Cheers!

I'm currently playing Mirror's Edge. I've heard mixed reviews, but I liked the demo a lot and am really liking the full game too. I've just finished the third chapter. Good times!

Oblivion GOTY
Second run. Finished the game two years ago and sold the game off. I recently purchased GOTY-version and is replaying the game with the expansions. It's a pretty slow start, but I reckon that when I start getting the skills to actually be able to do stuff it's going to get better.

Fallout 3

Just finished the main quest and I'm still pondering whether to bother with the last side quests (achievement quests that is). Right now I'm more interested in Oblivion to be honest.

Fable 2

Second run as an evil woman. First run was with a pretty "goodie toocho" lad.

Guitar Hero - WT
Sasquatch boogey left in the Hard campaign. It's definitely the hardest song I've played. When I finish this one I guess it's time to take on the Expert campaign.

Rock band 2

Haven't gotten that far yet. The game definitely feels more polished than Guitar Hero - WT, but it's only in the little details. I'm not sure which one I prefer yet.

I've been playing mostly World of Goo and Fallout 3 lately.

I'm in the second chapter in WoG and 20 hours clocked in Fallout 3.

I've completely forgot that I was playing Sam&Max 1x04 during the autumn, should get back on track with that one someday.

Also I got A Vampyre Story installed, but I've not played much of that yet.

Day of the Tentacle ...(I know, I know- I'm lame for not having played it before. )... just started actually, and am currently wandering around the house picking up random objects while the Professor frets about The Plans.

Darkenss Within

Just finished going though the offices and am now exploring the very interesting house.

So far I’m enjoying this game. It feels a lot like Scratches.

Cannot believe I found the game in a used bin for under TWO dollars. Also, cannot believe that Gamespot gave it a 3.2 out of 10 rating, Darkness Within has already exceeded my expectations by a mile. Must be discouraging for game makers to work hard for no appreciation from professional reviewers.

Began playing Shellshock 2. Played it for half an hour. Uninstalled. What a piece of junk - mediocre graphics, clunky controls, no jumping, horrible performance, pretentious presentation. I'm supposed to be shocked at all the civilian screams - I never even got to see any of those civilians. War? More like running through a tube-esque level, shooting dumb robots.

I'm at day three of Dracula 3 and I'm pretty sure I'm quitting. Delicious visuals and surprisingly good voice acting, but I can't bring myself to care about any of the characters.

It's a nice game, finished it like 2 weeks ago. It's interesting because treats about the true history about dracula, vlad tepez!

Playing Twinsen odyssey or little big adventure 2. Just don't have words to praise that game. So nostalgic, it marked on my childhood! what a wonderful game!

I'm playing Sherlock Holmes The Awakened (remastered version) and right now I'm in the smuggler's cave beneath the lighthouse figuring out what to do.
I really need to leave the game for today and sleep on this, because I'm all out of ideas on how to proceed.

41 hours done now in Fallout 3 and I'm concidering abandoning the project. It's taking too much time to complete this game, I'm sad that I wasted 30 hours of playing on side missions...

You saying that makes me glad I didn't. Up until now I had the feeling I was missing out on something.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice game and it's nice to see how big the game world in it is, but I just wouldn't have wanted to play this game this long as I have a tight schedule right now and now time to play it later. I have to finish this one before my trip.

Playing sinking island. It's a real good game. Detective stories never got my attention in games, books, movies or whatever. But this game is really enjoyable.

I'm in day two. Trying to find who stole the "chain" from jones corpse, a good marksman that can had shot jones and who were in the library in the jones death. Actually i'm stuck, i have chated with all suspects and no one give me a clue. Lorenzo asked me to find a code to see who were in library but i can't figure out where is it. Maybe its related to the messy books on the library shelf? Someone can give me a little hint?
