Finished Tomb Raider reboot (take two) earlier this week. It was enjoyable enough. Luckily I was able to circumvent an almost game-breaking (and quite common) glitch. I really found it quite ridiculous how they started it out as trying to make Lara the relatable and vulnerable type just to end up being Ms Rambo again before you even reach the halfway point. I very much enjoyed silent hunting with the bow, which made the forced use of the more heavy weaponry later in the game make me not like it as much. Oh well. The story was decent enough I guess.

Currently playing Fallout: New Vegas. Somehow I feel like my companions are a bit overpowered. Hell, a lot of the time they start shooting (and occasionally killing) enemies before I even get a good bead on them. Other than that it's a good game, even if it may look like pants.
3 main games:

Rift
Evoland (I have a feeling this is going to be a short game, but I'm loving it so far)
Borderlands
I`ve noticed that the season plays a heavy role on what I play.

F.ex; In this summer heat I`have had this urge to play Half-Life, Farcry and its brothers. + Need For Speed hot Pursuit 2

(When winter comes it`s usually rts)

I hope you have better luck with (software) bugs than I did. Those ruined the game for me right in the very end to such an extent that I now consider New Vegas one of the worst games that I have ever played (certainly in the bottom ten). A shame because I really wanted to like it.

Anyway, I'm playing Borderlands 2 with my brother and two mates, and it's been pretty fun. Baldur's Gate takes up quite a bit of my time as well, or if I'm too tired to play that, Gran Turismo 4. I also replayed Spec Ops: The Line the other day, and it was just as chilling and mind-bogglingly brilliant as it was on the first time, if not more so.
I've been playing SimCity 4 recently (3 pounds on a steam in sale), however I don't like the idea of destroying already built parts of the city just because you realize you could have done it a bit better or sudden increase in traffic requires wider streets which includes demolitions of skyscrapers due to few small squares

yesterday I've installed Neverwinter Nights, not bad, altough I was expecting it to be more entertaining... guess I'm slowly becoming too old for fantasy themes
The Last of Us. Characters are great as usual when done by Naughty Dog and combat is quite diffferent from Uncharted as situations discourage from direct approach. I like that there is no map, no direction indicator or XP per kill or process.
Just finished a mission on Hitman 2 Silent Assassin. I got bored of sneaking around, so have armed myself with every weapon courtesy of a cheat code and am now blasting my way through creating carnage

With Absolution it's basicly same stuff.. also those levels are so linear in some sense.. At first it is fun and when you are seen in that.. You can wipe out all living things in all of space and time even with hand combat moves.
I usually like stealth but that story isn't motivating at all.

Story makes him look like an amateur. Who comes at that one point straight from the door.. Oh man..
-Crusader Kings 2 (Ireland has united under my rule! For some reason Sicily owns part of England!)
-The Secret World (Turns out the Illuminati aren't actually that subtle and basically stick giant signs everywhere leading to their base)
-Dishonored (HONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR)

I'm also doing a casual photo tour of Bioshock Infinite for teh prettiez.

I've only played the new Tomb Raider for around 40 minutes, but I found it kinda hard to take seriously. I get that they want to make Lara all put-upon and hopeless, but they take it to ridiculous extremes. Oh look she fell and landed on a spike oh look the ground collapsed oh look the thing she was hanging onto crumbled for the millionth time. It stops being "lonely person in a hard world" and more "arbitrary chew toy of the entire universe". Hopefully it cools down a bit after the set-up.

It's true.. she falls so plenty of times it's pretty comical. I liked the game quite much still.
And it doesn't cool down. =D
I've started going through my backlog but the ones I mainly play are Anomaly Warzone Earth, Bastion and Costume Quest.
I beat Fate Extra, and am now "playing" Morrowind. By which I mean I mean messing around with various mods, trying to find a combination that works well for me. I actually did play the game for a little while; the first time I tried to rest, my character was slaughtered by some dude in goofy armor. What the hell?
Finally beat Master of Magic with one of the pre genereated wizards, Tauron to be precise.

I don't know what difficulty it was on but now I'm going to make a custom wizard and play again on normal.
PSP, GTA Liberty City Stories is playing these days.. Can't get enough of the slang humor and radio stations, driving around in those.
Hegemony Gold: Wars of Ancient Greece

I never really gave it a fair shot before and it seemed alright from the small amount of time I put into it. Need somethin different to play anyway, burned out from CS GO and Crusader Kings 2
