thk47: Recently played Mount and Blade (again) and Just got myself The Banner Saga from friend of mine,This game just beautiful :]
The first Mount & Blade or Warband? I played a little bit of Warband earlier, just fighting in the arenas. Twice I got ganged up on, once against three people and later against five (!!!), some free for all eh?

I played about an hour, hour and a half of Outcast today and made it out of the tutorial village for the first time ever. I don't know, it seems like it can be fun but for whatever reason it just isn't clicking for me. Maybe it's the fact that the early NPC's are more like (very long winded) info dumps than characters? Maybe I wouldn't mind it so much if they hadn't used those awful ear gratingly bad vocal effects, since some of the lore is interesting.

Playing through Battlefront 2's campaign at the moment, along with The Evil Within.

I'm finding Battlefront 2 to be a whole lot more fun than I expected. I was surprised to find that they've actually put a story to the campaign, and the missions are short bursts of fun that mix it up enough to keep me interested.

The Evil Within is has its moments, but it's very up and down. It's at its best when you've got a decent sized environment in which to stealth or shoot your way through, and you're given options and ways to make use of the environment. But then it also has terrible sections where it forces you to kill everyone in your way, stealth isn't an option, and you basically just wind up using each of your weapons until it runs out of ammo and then moving onto your next one, hopefully not running out of ammo for everything before the end. It tends to pull you out of things too often to have any sense of pace too, and the story isn't worth trying to follow.
Just started Aquaria today. I've only played it a bit on my phone few months ago but never really played the PC version, looks interesting though and from what I've been reading around it's lengthy.

It's a very pretty and fun game for what it is. Not Dust level pretty but really what is?

I've seen the artwork and thought it looked pretty but how is the gameplay?

Persona 4 Golden, Gravity Rush, and Uncharted: Golden Abyss on PS Vita.
Working on the Thief Reboot. The gameplay is not as good when compared to Thief Gold and Thief II, but probably better than Thief 3. The story thus far is underwhelming, however. Performance is a mite choppy at max settings, but stabilizes once a area has been loaded for a moment or two. I hope that NewDark will someday implement loot glint, as I find that to be a very handy feature.

Just finished Avernum: Escape from the Pit. Was a bit of a grind, since the enemies had large HP pools and rather sizable resistance levels. Looking forward to playing the remake of Avernum 2, but I hope the enemies are better designed in that iteration.

I am playing Spelunky every so often. Right now I am trying to master ghost running, which turns gems into their best form, which is a diamond worth 5,000 gold. This makes it much easier to obtain the Ankh without angering merchants, but the ghost is a tricky beast to handle.

The Warband, I just exploit cheat code for fun to invade the city of NPC's faction, hunting down a bandits and also participated in the tournament in the arena.

for gameplay I've just played less than an hour so could not give many reviews yet. but, a little more to turn-base and tactical combat system. apparently I need some time to finish it as well to understand the plot :)

Fallout: New Vegas. This is the second time I've tried giving it a playthrough, the first playthrough I got bored and quit. This time I've made a luck/strength/endurance/agility based melee character. I've yet to feel immersed in the game world but I'm having a lot more fun this time. I've installed two mods, both of them are for casinos, one that lets you become unbanned after a set amount of time (I've set it for half a day), the other raises the max bets. I really need to see if there are any unofficial patches like Skyrim does, I've had several out of the blue CTDs (before I installed any mods).

Edit: And I've just found a nice little weapon named Ripper, which along with my character already having maxed out Melee, means that the game is now Chainsaw From A 80s Horror Movie Simulator 2015. Using Ripper I just took out six giant radscorpions, three or four nightstalkers, four molerats and four Jackyl gang members in less than ten minutes while only losing about half of my health (and lost no health after I figured I could just back away from the radscorpions), I didn't even using VATS. Wowzer, that thing might be the toy I need to get past those deathclaws so I can finally get to New Vegas.

Just finished up a session of the new-ish co-op MMO Report Korean Spam Threads in the GOG Forums As Spam. It was a bit tedious, but still more rewarding than some games I've played.

This weekend I got a sudden urge to play again the Deus Ex game! And I did. I'm at the catacombs right now.
This game is very good! So many years have passed since it came out and I still enjoy it!

It's still gives me the creeps that they cut out the Twin Towers (for technical reasons) and explained that they were destroyed by a terrorist attack - in 2000.

Are you trying to get to New Vegas trough Quarry Junction? O_o
I can respect your courage. Or your suicide attempts! :P

I used the long route to reach Vegas: trying to get past that place has been impossible for me until I got much better with my sniping skills (and used the Gauss rifle to behead the Deathclaw's leader). I returned there during one of the last phases of the game, when my abilities and perks allowed me to kill them in one shot from an hidden position, taking them down one by one.
I was also playing in hard+hardcore mode, and that didn't help. AVOID THE PLACE!!! XD
