   I’ll be playing Risen 2 however it feels like it’s going to be one of them RPGs I’m going to have to power myself through however you can now download KOFXIII on Australian Xbox so I might consider buying that.

   I think a lot of people have a similar reaction to the game. When I was playing it I would be thinking about it in the shower for way too long.

   I am determined that I am going to play *something* this weekend after weeks of not really. So either try to get back into the Diablo III, or pick something exciting and action packed from the pile of shame. Like maybeJust Cause 2 or finish the COD4 campaign or something.

   Or start down the winding path of Dark Souls.

   Just finished up Rayman: Origins and Spec Ops. Seems to be lots of good games on the horizon from now until November so might enjoy the calm before the storm.

   Hopefully will finish The Book of Unwritten Tales and also doing a run through of Borderlands before B2 comes out next month. Sniping is fun 🙂

         I’m kind of jaded at new point-and-click adventure games, I think it’s partly because of the steadfast refusal by some to accept any thing new. This does look pretty, though. (And I’m gonna sound stupid for saying the next one I’ve got to play is the thoroughly old school Gemini Rue.)

            Hahaha! Gemini Rue is truly amazing though, very well worth your time. I do know what you mean though, but I still get veeeery excited over Deadalic adventures. I think it’s probably got a lot to do with their 2D art direction though, I adore it. A lot of the new 3D games, I really push myself to start them.

            Book is fantastic and definitely warrants the rave reviews it gets. Really great voice acting in it and looks great. Up to Chapter 4 at the moment and not regretting my purchase one bit. They’re also looking at doing an English version of the prequel to this so hopefully enough people support it.

            TLDR: If you like point and click adventure games, buy this game 🙂

         The weird thing about Deponia was that I spent the entire first act trying to find ways to clean up, be responsible, be a better boyfriend/roommate.

                There’s a buttload of tutorial stuff on youtube about the ones people have already gotten up and running. If I wasn’t at work I’d post links to some of them. Looks easy enough provided you know how to code it … even then there’s step by step tutorials for people like me with no coding knowledge

    About 10% into Hyperdimension Neptunia (the first one) and enjoying it, although it seems a little easy in terms of the challenge it presents. Loving the Japanese VA work and the gags. A nice change of pace from my last game Lollipop Chainsaw.

    GTA3. I’ve been doing all the packages and side missions first before tacking the main missions so I’m cashed up in-game before I’ve even started properly.

    Then when I’ve 100% completed it I will move onto Vice City!

    More Fallout: New Vegas. I finished a Hardcore mode run yesterday, which was really fun. When the 100G achievement popped, I was pretty proud. Now I’ve got the DLC to get through and a bunch of achievements to finish.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2!! I forgot how awesome it is! In fact before playing it I had forgotten what fun is! I feel like a little kid all over again playing this! So much in fact that going back to the PS3 afterwards to try & finish Ghost Recon felt like work!
    So yeah i’ll be gaming like a little kid with SMG 2, I suppose i’ll finish the last 2 missions of Ghost Recon:FS, & some Blazblue on the Vita at work.

    Borderlands. Finished the first dlc during the week and have started the underdome dlc. It’s a horrible thing tbh. So boring and repetitive. So might move onto the 3rd dlc soon. Must finish all dlc before Borderlands 2!

       The Underdome is really just a long, long grind. I got through it ok because I played it with my wife who was max level I was there to pull in the low level enemies while she pretty much did all the work. We basically played through all the DLC together to max out our achievements.

       The other DLC is far, far better with the Secret Armory of General Knoxx being my personal favourite. There’s some grindy collection achievements in Claptrap’s Robolution, but if you don’t really care about the achievements they shouldn’t be too bad.

    Well I’ve been paying too much attention to Minecraft lately, mainly because my wife has been rewatching all of Star Trek: The Next Generation (man those old DVDs look like shit when you’re playing them on an HD TV), but this weekend I will probably reclaim the Xbox! I want to try and knock over Prototype 2, but I also went back to Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer last night and surprisingly didn’t get all that frustrated by it – at least not as much as I did getting repeatedly sniped off spawn in Halo Reach on Wednesday night. For the most part I feel like other people are cheap jackholes, but it wasn’t bad, so I might hop on a little over the weekend.

    I also still need to finish Mirror’s Edge and play my way through the Broken Sword trilogy.

    I haven’t really been playing games much this past month or two, but I’ve gotten back into it lately after randomly turning the xbox on! I want to start on one of the many games I’ve bought in zavvi’s 2 for £25 offer. I’ll either be playing dungeon siege 3, or bayonetta.

    PC games are out. I had to send my mouse and keyboard back for warranty and I hate using crappy mice!

    This weekend, probably not much at all. But throughout next week I’ll be finishing off the Dawnguard quests then either hacking away at the ridiculous amount of side quests I’ve accrued over my travels, OR start getting into Bastion.
