   Got the beta too… from what I’ve read its actually a very short beta.

   I’m sure you can play through it within an hour or so and then get back to your shameless gaming!

   The beta is awesome and over FAR too quickly! I played it last week (or the week before?) after my awesome GF snagged me a code.

   I can understand why you’d wait, but I say play it. Also, tether yourself to something secure as you WILL be blown away.

   Finally got through Half Life 2 so it is on to Eps 1 and 2. Also on the list is anything I bought from the frenzy that is the Steam sales. I honestly do not remember everything I bought.

      I fully endorse playing the episodes for achievements! They add a whole new dimension to the fun. See if you can get through episode 1 using a single bullet, or carry that damn garden gnome in episode 2 all the way to the rocket ship. Brilliant.

   Just bought Super Street Fighter IV off Steam, but it refuses to recognise my keyboard or controller 🙁

   So I’ll be playing some TF2 and Just Cause 2, and also The Hunter, that I just started playing this week. Very cool hunting game.

   Lucky lucky man…I need a guilt free weekend to complete a bunch on the shame pile if I can ever tear myself away from having fun with the clan on MAG…

   Trenched!!! It’s like electronic heroin! Two mates and I have already maxed everything out so, technically, continuing to play is pointless, but… Did I mention the heroin similarity? Must. Play. More!

   Hit level cap in Rift last night, so time to grind!
   Except Saturday my friends and I are all heading to Mana Bar Melbourne (if we get in)
   Curse this socializing thing!

    The Starcraft 2 campaign won’t know what hit it. I’m nearing the end and dammit, I will finish this thing before the weekend is over.

    Also, Alice Madness Returns, Trauma Center and Darksiders. Because I’m still trying to make a dent in the old pile of shame.

       Red Faction Geurrilla is the bomb. I finished it about a year ago. When I started it I wasn’t expecting much but man I ended up loving that game. I finished the original on PS2 years ago, that was good too. Just need to get around to part 2 and Armageddon!

    Got a copy of Minecraft last week, and been hooked, so will be playing that – so addictive I want to hate it, but I just can’t :P.

    Also, some Red Faction: Armageddon and maybe some Tomb Raider for nostalgia’s sake. One day, I’ll get to my pile of shame, but that day is far off yet.

    Think im going to do my second play through of ME2 now that I finished ME1 on PC again. Then I might play DMC4 since I grabbed it on the steam sale.

    Wish there was something a little more substantial to play right now..

    I’m actually going to be getting into EVE Online this weekend. So that should be awesome. I also wouldn’t mind getting a surprise email saying I got into the Star Wars: The Old Republic testing!

       That’s my last one too. How difficult is it so far? I’m contemplating setting up a renegade female arms-specialist space-racist to counter my existing paragon male biotician hippy, and figure I should do it on insane difficulty – but if it’s just too difficult, I know I’ll just give up and play something else…

    I haven’t touched my xbox since sunday 🙁
    Tourneys in Adelaide next week so SSF4 and MvC3 for me. I really should jump onboard and at least start Darksiders.

    I’m really failing at Shameless gaming month. My pile of shame was actually pretty manageable at the start of the month… and then the steam sale happened. Needless to say, I’m trying to slog through the Witcher 2 (serously, love the universe, but the combat system is terrible).

    Might start Trine, or Just Cause 2, or the Metroid Prime Trilogy, or Mario Galaxy, or Terraria or… any one got a suggested order for me?

    I would say wait. Don’t play the Journey beta. If it crashes while you are playing, it may just break you.

    I’ll try and get some more Red Dead Redemption in over the weekend. Haven’t managed to play any this week, and with a busy weekend looming, my hopes of finishing it for Shameless Gaming month are once again dropping.

    Sorry Shameless Gaming, I gave up on my games I was trying to play for you as soon as Assassin’s Creed:Brotherhood arrived on my doorstep. I’ll be playing that whenever I get a chance. I’m already addicted.
    Apart from that I’ll be playing “What the hell did I arrange a Kotaku Meat at my house for?!! I’ve only got a week to get it clean and turn the junk room into The Pessimist’s room !”

    Delving into the world of Demon’s Souls for the first time. Dark Souls has me really interested, and I want to make sure that I can take the difficulty, so testing myself on the first game!

    Started Assassin’s Creed 2: Brotherhood, but it’s not grabbing me as much as the original game did. Hopefully that will change soon!

       I was like that with AC:Bro at first, but then I realised I was thinking about it when I wasn’t playing it, and I was looking forward all the time to when I’d be able to play it next. It’s safe to say then that it grabbed me.
       I hope it ends up grabbing you too, there’s not much worse than being disappointed by a game you were really wanting to play.

       I hope you stick with Demon’s Souls too, it’s an amazing game.

    Need to finish off Outland. Been struggling on the 4th boss. I RAGE QUIT but I’m determined to beat and the game.

    I’m 75% through Alice and I ‘should’ be done over the weekend.

    I picked up Shadows of the Damned last night and I’m loving the humour. I hear it’s quite easy/short, so I might try and knock that out tomorrow then move onto Arkham Asylum. I could probably better spend the time finishing F3AR as Fettel, but I’ve already finished it once as Point Man and I feel like my time can be better spent playing something I haven’t finished at all.

    I have a huge back catalogue to choose from:

    Dead Space 2 (about 7 chapters in, then I got too scared); Yakuza 3, Crysis 2, LA Noire, Heavy Rain, inFamous 2….

    I don’t know where to start.

    Bought DA:O last year. Played as a rogue, got stuck/pissed off and was very disappointed…

    Picked up DA2. Realised I really liked the game world, went back to Origins and started again as a mage. My GOD. Much better. Been working my way through. Looking forward to porting my character when I’m done with Awakening 🙂

    So… Yeah. Kinda unintentionally selves into the pile of shame this month! It’s fate, I tells ya!

    Originally it was going to be a weekend/month of Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, but the phasing out of PSN cards in Australia has put that on hold.

    Instead i’ve discovered Kerbal Space Program and it’s safe to say i’m hooked. The day i discovered it i accidently played from 5 pm till 3 am. Currently i’m leaving it idling as my command pod hurtles in orbit around earth at 5500km and rising. Hopefully It’s not true orbit and the ship lands by morning.
