Purchased Alan Wake during the insomnia sale on May 13th last year, finally started playing it last week and I'm on the 6th chapter now. I will be trying to finish this one soon.

Got the Heroes of Might and Magic bundle on December 31st 2013 and I've still got 3 more campaigns to go in HOMM3: AB before I finish the game

The oldest game in my backlog that I haven't started yet is Unreal Tournament 2004 purchased on Nov 23rd 2013 and I'm not sure when I'll start that game either. There are others I wanna play first.

Don't you guys just love having backlogs?
Fallout: New Vegas. Outside of the crashes and the fact that my save file (autosave/quicksave specifically) keeps getting corrupted on a near constant basis, my only issue with the game is the invisible barriers in the odd places. I can understand invisible barriers at the very limits of the map, sure, no problem. I can understand invisible barriers that keep you from jumping into different world zones, again, no problem.

However some of the barriers just make no sense, like a mountain that is between you and a location you need to visit. That mountain has a divide that would take you right to that location you need to visit, however the divide features a very small incline that you can't scale (due to invisible barriers) despite you being able to climb much steeper inclines in other areas. It makes a thirty second or so walk through the mountain into a ten minute detour as you're forced to walk around the entire mountain.

That's a minor quibble though, I'm enjoying New Vegas quite a bit, I'm currently in Vault 22 and it might just be my favorite vault yet.

Just started The Longest Journey again. After 2 years of traveling in many fantastical lands, I'm glad that I'm back to the realm known as Arcadia.

Blade of Darkness.
That game is brutal, but extremely rewarding. The start can be shockingly difficult, forcing you to focus on defence and oppurtunity hits, yet when you start to build up your combos the pace drastically changes.
I chose the Barbarian, a mountain of muscles holding giants swords and axes. He reminds me a bit of Guts from Breserk!

Also, I started Pixeljunk Shooter.
It's a very nice game, focusing on a heat-cold system and material manipulation rather than taking the standard "shoot'em up" route.
Been mostly switching off between playing Din's Curse and Divine Divinity lately, coming off a run of playing a fair bit of NetHack (Vulture), which I'm pretty bad at. I've also been back to occasionally playing a touchscreen-oriented "NetHack-lite" Windows Store app called Dungeon of Slyn. I've still never beaten it, but I've gotten further than in NH. :)
I am still hesitating, but Batman Arkham Asylum will be my next, game to play most probably.
Finishing Deeper Dungeons which means I will finish DK Gold.
Star Wars - Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

Awesome Game! So far i've played ~8 hours and i'm having a blast. :)
Rebooting Counter-Strike 1.6, it 's been a long time since I played it.
FEAR! I love this cute little girl, can never get too much of her! THANK GoG it brought this series here! Now i can finally uninstall Sh*t Steam, let it rot, and play my favorite horror shooter to my heart's content, DRM FREE and without Crap-clients! I LOVE YOU GOG!

Sigh... If only i could UNBUY it from Steam and get a refund... Only reason i got it there was because it wasn't showing up on GoG for many years...
I re-started Silent Storm. I put it on hold because the framerate was terrible on new rigs, yet even after contacting support it seems there is no way to address the issue on nVidia cards -aside from switching back to older drivers, something I cannot do due to other programs I need to run.

I guess I will play it with disabled shadows... sigh. Hopefully, the technicians at GOG HQ will try to solve the problem.

Now, I have started the Axis campaing with an Italian sniper. When was the last time you could play as an Italian? Personally, I never played a game that allowed me to do so.
Another issue: the voice actors are awful, and the accennt they use is so hilariously and overly pronounced to sound almost offensive! :P
Not every Italian talks like Super Mario, especially if they come from Bologna (as the character's background states)!

Fallout. After finishing Fallout: New Vegas and getting a grip on some of the lore and how the stats work I've decided to finally give the first Fallout a playthrough. I'm not really a fan of turn based games (yes I know, burn the heretic! etc) but Fallout's isn't bad at all, at least my initial impression of it is positive. I managed to get stuck on the travel screen because I'm a moron but outside of that I'm having no problems with it. Just like with New Vegas my character is combat effective but dumb as a rock and might as well not have a tongue, hopefully this is reflected in dialogue more than it was in New Vegas.

I have never played the first Fallout with a low-int characte, yet I remember many dialogue options of the second were absolutely hilarious! Soemtimes you can get easy access to sevral areas, get useful items for free because the NPCs pity you and even get some exclusive missions!
If I am not mistaken, my character once tried to open a safebox by "moving the strange nose on that metal face".

Ha!

Well I've learned that my character does indeed speak like a moron (seems to only be capable of saying things like "uhh" and"urgg" "and "wub wub") and even better...NPCs react to it! The first few NPCs I've talked to have been less than impressed by my character's intelligence and one apparently important NPC (one that is voiced) actually stopped speaking to my character almost immediately after my character's first words.

I know some people will ask "why does stuff like that matter?", but details and nuances like that are way more important to me than things like great graphics.

I couldn't agree more. Details are what can differentiate a good game from a masterpiece!
Imo, Fallout is one of the games that does it better: based on your character build and your choices, it seems you play trough completely different games!

Imo, the second installment improved this even more: while in the first you have to follow a fixed path, in the second you are just thrown into the world, free to do whatever you want, and the vast amount of different factions and settings can change in hundreds of different ways, from the smallest of details to radical variations.
