I started a new playthrough of Dante's Inferno. I'm going to try to get all the relics and coins and I'm going to max out the Holy path. It's pretty easy to be honest.

I've been also playing Lara Croft: The Guardian of Light and a bit of Terraria too.

I'm also thinking about starting a new playthrough of Condemned. Don't know about that yet, I might get too scared. D:

EDIT: Oh, and also I'm getting back to playing Team Fortress 2. I want more Engineer stuff!

Been playing through New Vegas some more. Been having tons of fun, possibly because I've been pouring points into Speech.

Everything just feels so much better than FO3 - more quests, more options; plus the game feels a little less grimdark (possibly because of the Wild, Wild Wasteland perk) and it really benefits from it.

I'm playing Metroid Fusion after recently completing Metroid Zero Mission for the umpteenth time and getting frustrated yet again with Majora's Mask save system. I hate power outages.

Sonic Unleashed. I'm still trying to work out whether it was a waste of money or not. The gameplay can be extremely broken and unfair at times. There's nothing more frustrating that losing your entire score when you lose a life, especially when it clearly wasn't your fault. However, it can be fun at times. I'll wait till I finish it before I make a proper judgement.

I absolutely loved the daytime levels in Sonic Unleashed. I never want to see the nighttime ones again in my life.

Well, now I've played Dante's Inferno through 2 times and I'm only missing a few easy achievements so I'm playing through it for the third time to max out the unholy path and get a 666 combo.

Yeah, agreed. Seems a lot of people share the view. The nighttime levels get so tedious, a couple of times I've just turned off the Xbox because I got frustrated and bored of cheap deaths and stupid enemies.

I agree with what you guys said about sonic unleashed, the only time I found the nighttime levels bearable was after i beat the game and each level didn't take half an hour to an hour just to complete.

Anyways, I'm in the process of replaying Portal 2 with TF2 and Minecraft mixed in from time to time. Not counting all the games I've started and have yet to complete...

Sonic Unleashed is borderline worst Sonic game i've ever played. The worst being Sonic 06/Sonic The Headgehog.

The night levels are boring and the story is a pile of shite. The only good thing about it were that the normal, day stages were enjoyable...ish

I played Adventure/Adventure 2 for the story.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 had a magnificent story

A fat man and another animal no one has ever heard about suffering from mental disorders while you are trying to stop them to stop an island from falling... which makes no sense unless you read the manual

I've been playing SC3K, Minecraft, and Quake III arena.

Most of the online servers for Quake III Arena seem to have the excesive plus mod on them.

That mod is cool because the weapons are so much stronger and cooler that they give you 200 - 500 health and it won't go down unless you get more than 200 - 500 health. Maybe it's higher.

My city in SC3K has turned from a slum like that city in Blade Runner, to a 1st world utopia.

But it was only like that for about 10 years I think. I think it was mainly because I couldn't afford collages and hospitals back then.

But now the city gets a massive income due to large amounts of tax payers, transit fares, neighboor deals, etc.

So now I'm able to afford to do major improvemts in my city such as improving the education and health system, police departments, and fire departments. I can also afford to place a lot of parks, lower taxes, and other stuff.

I end up with a lot of high paying jobs and rich people living in my city.

I may post pictures of my city soon.

Edit 1: My city is no where near as big as this city.

Sonic games have never been good for stories. They're somewhat decent if they don't try way too hard at it and try to keep it simple. The whole floating island business in Sonic 3 & Knuckles for example. Mostly due to hardware constraints, the story was told through graphics and the instruction book and wasn't forced like your throat like the newer games.

Tetris would get a bigger fanbase if it had a plot.

...actually, no... It really wouldn't.

Completed The Getaway a few days ago.

What's everybodies opinion on this game? The car physics are a little crappy and the game can be incredibly frustrating at times but I enjoyed it, nowhere near as good as Vice City (which was released around the same time as The Getaway)

Unsure why but I didn't enjoy Black Monday, one thing I can say is that it sucks that Black Monday has no relation to the first game apart from being set in the same city.

I had Fallout Collection for christmas.

What is extremly stupid is the fact that Fallout Tactics doesn't work on it!

It's not my computer, when I try to run the game it keeps telling me to insert the Fallout Tactics CD!

Considering I successfuly managed to install all 3 games inthe collection there is nothing wrong with the CD drive either.

I never played the first, but I did play Black Monday a few years back and thought it was pretty good. I hated the mission where you played as the girl and had to infiltrate some building without being caught.

It was also fun driving cars you actually saw on the street. They should release a new one.
