Chantelise i was told is like Zelda.
Well forget that.
The boss fights are just pure luck in my opinion.
There is no healing potion and finding the needed gems or healing during the fight is luck.

So its deleted and now i am playing Diablo 3 on my X 360.
Expeditions: Conquistador
Very pleasantly surprised. Really tight rpg that I am absolutely loving so far. Navigation took a little getting used to (honestly not really sure why, it just did.) Love the combat, love the skill use, love the dilemmas and dialogue. Probably 15~ hours in, and nothing bad to say about it so far. Can't wait to see how it ends.
Crusader is on hold, so I'm dabbling in Alpha Centauri a bit. I've only played the training scenarios, so I haven't formed a solid opinion just yet. I can say, though, that what I did play turned out about how I feared it would. I've played a demo for Galactic Civilizations II quite a bit, and I had a similar experience. Apparently, when I play 4X games, I expect a lot of depth, but when I play them, I constantly feel like, "What am I missing here?" That's not to say that Alpha Centauri is without depth, but when I started playing, I felt like I was just waiting for stuff to get built while I moved my people around. Occasionally I attacked something, but I felt like for all the reading I did in the manual, I don't know much more about the game. There's so much stuff to do, but at the same time, there isn't. I don't know, maybe I'm just weird.

I do plan to keep playing it, though. I have a feeling this game is best experienced when played for a while (not necessarily at a time, but longer than just a five minute scenario).

Of course, I'm also itching to play Dragon Age: Origins again...
Rune and Sin mostly. Rune from cd as i wanted to try if I could get it to work otherwise i would have bought it here. It's amazing. If you guys buy it here play the Original gold version. I'm halfway through and i can't figure out what levels they cut and why. People here should be used to exploring and getting stuck for a few minutes so it shouldn't be a problem. Amazing game, buy it if you are on the fence.

Sin is a strange one. It's like it's too advanced for the quake II engine so not everything wrorks as it should. It has solid shooting mechanics but is too easy on normal and way too hard on hard. Also some amazing short diificulty spikes...
It's fun though and somehow feels like duke nuke forever if it had been released around that time if that makes any sense at all
I'm playing bits of Hotline Miami in between my anime-watching sessions. Just finished the prologue.
FM2013
Grim Dawn Alpha (played one char yesterday for 5 hours on hardcore. got killed LOL).
Having my first console experiences in a long time on PS3.

GTA5... pretty much more GTA4 for me so far, very similar look and feel. Haven't gotten very far yet though. Rockstar's writing is just amazingly good.

Sly Cooper 4... wow, I missed games like this. What a console-ass console game. Having a lot of fun with it.

Some random PSN stuff... RE4 HD was only $5 so I will give that game one more shot to show me why so many loved it. Zuma plays better on a controller. First time playing Diablo 3 because I didn't want to tempt myself with the always online PC version... wow, it's fun and really well made!

Daedalus1138: Crusader No Remorse. My reaction? Bleh. It's fun enough, I guess, but the controls are seriously getting in the way of my enjoying it.
I felt that way already back in the 90s when I played it the first (and so far only) time. The inaccurate controls were definitely its lowest point, but then since I had survived controls in games like Ultima Underworld 1-2 and System Shock, I survived the C: NR controls as well, and finished the game. I've yet to play the sequel, No Regret. I found the first game ok (despite its controls), but not good enough to rush to the sequel.

Still playing Baldur's Gate 2. Just completed Watcher's Keep (during the base game, not yet in the expansion pack Throne of Baal). Next step is to go after that vampire lady in the graveyard, with my buddies I've recruited along the way (the non-party members, like Drizzzt, people from the temple or whatever).

Which reminds me, I hate it when a party member leaves me even temporarily, as then I have pile of their stuff on the ground that I can't put in my already full inventory. I really wish quest items would always disappear when a quest is completed, as now I have lots of items, scrolls and stuff in my inventory that I think I don't need anymore... but I am not fully sure. I guess I just need to put them down to some cupboard.


Oh, also increasingly playing GTA San Andreas, after playing it only occasionally. I think I have around 60% or so of the story missions completed, after seeing the number of missions on some walkthrough. I must say I am increasingly liking the game more as I progress, the first third of the game was somehow boring to me. Somehow getting to the new areas where I drive much more off-road made it more interesting to me, compared to the earleir parts where I was just driving around the same parts of the urban city.

Diablo 3 (X 360)
The graphics, sound and control are OK.
But i can't say that i understand the hype about it.
Playing it on normal and just starting the 2nd chapter there was no challenge at all. Different tactics for enemies? I didn't change the original setting for my Barbarian and the only time i died was thanks to a big crowed where i couldn't see my character and didn't look at his health. Are there any hidden areas or sidequests?
Compared to Torchlight 2----Diablo 3 is losing.
i am now playing terraria and civ 5. they both are really good
Just finished a complete run of BG1 through BG2 and ToB. Now playing Game of Thrones RPG. So far I'm liking it, but not enamored of the camera controls.

I only played the demo on PS3 but the quality for me seemed to come in the feel. Animations were amazing, sound design perfect. It just feels good to wander around smacking shit.
Midway Arcade Origins on 360, have been wanting to play Smash TV for awhile and didn't have a copy.
Master of Orion
Darklands
Dragon Age (360)

I find Darklands and Master of Orion are good to play while my wife is watching some crappy show on TV.

I'm on my 2nt time through Dragon Age

I was thinking about picking up Diablo 3 but maybe I will pickup torchlight 2 instead. I like to hear more after you get a bit more into it.

Its the overall feeling that something is missing. Playing Diablo there was The Butcher early on in the game. He and the hordes of minions were a challenge. Now in No. 3 there is nothing of that. The bossfights are simple (atm i just killed the witch). Yes, now i've died 5 times. But not because of challenging fights. It was because in the mass of enemies you couldn't see the one who killed you with his dieing strike (at full health). Than there is the loot. A major
fun in the old games. I've found better equipment in simple chests than killing bosses. The smith...what use is he?
Hes Master now (only 2 books needed for Grandmaster i guess). But all he can forge and i can actually wear at my
level (21) is worse than that what i found ages before...same goes for the merchants.
Than the missing sidequests.....Oh, you got challenges, right. But those are performed on the way.

No sorry, Diablo 3 is an disappointment for me. Even the action games Baldurs Gate Alliance was more fun.
