What are you playing this weekend/these days?


Let's see if this is finally not disappointing since Simon 2. Although I had fun with Simon 3D I can understand the contempt.
First time I hear about this game. Is that a physical pre-order?

EDIT: Finished Halo 3 ODST. Bit of an abrupt ending, didn't see that coming. Cool character interactions. Liked the tone-switch between dark, noir and military action. Soundtrack is good. Didn't like that Rookie was in the dark all the time, basically requiring the visor to be active at all times. Did like the relative freedom of movement in the city. Hated the slow walking and respawns. It felt more difficult than 2, 3 and Reach. Got me worked up. Next: 4.

EDIT: Finished Halo 4. Big upgrade to visual fidelity. Alien structures still look bland though. Planetary environments were nice OTOH. The new enemies and weapons are alright. The mech unit is cool. The fighter plane makes a short comeback and you get to fly the dropship for a bit. There was too much boring dialogue. Never liked Cortana as a character and there was a focus on her. The screen shake is off the chart in a few places.

My favourite of the series so far is Halo Reach.

Required to me 10 years, but finally I completed 100% of the game :cool:

When I started to play it I was unable to even beat the first level, now I can finish it while having a drink.

So, thanks again to @sswam that gifted the game to me at the time. :happy:
 
I just completed Portal 2. It's outstanding. Cult puzzle platformer. Better graphics than the first and much longer but not quite as appealing stylistically and Wheately the AI core gets a bit annoying in the end. The music is superb: dark, industrial electronic à la Autechre and the composer used to be in Steel Pole Bathtub. I hope to convince my daughter to play co-op mode with me.
