It’s been a while since I last asked this, so I thought it was a good time to see what games people are either still playing, or if they have moved onto something new.

On the PC, I squeezed in a few hours with the Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment beta.  I really had to limit myself, because I could have easily spent the whole weekend playing this, which is a good thing, but Saturday was Valentine’s Day and that could have led to future problems playing games.

On Friday, I hopped on Xbox.com and downloaded the Halo Wars trial.  I was really impressed it with it, and it was just a fun game to play.  The demo really left me wanting more, and it’s something that I will keep on my radar for next month.  I also downloaded the H.A.W.X. demo, but haven’t had a chance yet to play it.

So what did you play?

Friday was my only real gaming day of the weekend (took it off for a 3-day weekend).  Played through F.E.A.R 2... yeah.  I liked the first one a lot more.  Alma wasn't nearly as scary this time around.  No lurking in the shadows watching, no sitting at the top of a ladder I'm climbing.  It's like she just doesn't care enough to be scary anymore.

I really wanted to play Sins this weekend but my partner is now addicted to 'Agricola' so whilst I'm having a ball with it; the PC games are still gathering dust for the third week in a row.

My current gamepicks... I don't restrict this to what I played this weekend, because I play these pretty much every day.

(list is alphabetically ordered)

  • Bullet Candy (Entertaining shoot'em'up, and it I got it cheap)
  • Everyday Shooter (It's a 360 degree shoot'em'up... but it truly ROCKS (literally!))
  • Geometry Wars (Fast paced classic 360 degree shoot'em'up)
  • Gunroar (Brilliant FREE 360 degree shoot'em'up... Get it HERE
  • Spore (Because I enjoy designing critters, DRM doesn't bother me. )
  • World of Goo (Awesome building/puzzle game)

There it is... Can you tell I enjoy a basic shooter?

Waiting for Stardock's beta of Elemental (June 2009?) my daughter ("Sorceresss") and I ("CyberMage") are still regularly playing at Heroes of Might and Magic V : Tribes of the East (released in October 2007).

It's our favourite genre : turn-based, sword-and-sorcery, Grand Strategy.

Friday I went to a friend's house. Saturday and Sunday I was at another friends house all day and we played all 3 Halos, GoW (first time for me), Smash Bros Melee, RB2, GH:WT, and other games I can't remember. Monday I just vegged out on facebook, I tried to play an unreal tournament 3 demo, but it said it couldn't run a modified program or something.

FEAR 2 - love it, maybe because it is much like FEAR 1.

SINS Entrenchment - Still fun, but cant wait to play multi again. Getting desync atm.

Defense Grid - Fun, fun, fun. And cheap!

City of Heroes - Cant get away from it.
