Just got done with PoP Sands of Time and thinking of moving right along to Warrior Within, although I may be interrupted with Primordia's arrival tomorrow as well as delving into Eador.
Playing Master of Orion, and loving it :D
Dead Island. This game is great. I've been playing close to fifteen hours and I'm only half-way finished. It's been a while since I've played a game that was so long.
Primordia
Fallblox (Crashmo)
SpaceChem

Bought it as part of the indie bundle, but it is good enough that I will also consider buying the physical copy from Zachtronics after I finish the game.


Moto Racer 2

At first, I didn't like this racer. After playing and enjoying Moto Racer tremendously for a long time, I installed this, played for a few hours and it felt as a leap backwards in comparison to the predecessor. Then I uninstalled and considered it as one of the "mispurchases".

However, I recently reinstalled the Moto Racer to share my record times with somebody, and - luckily - also casually reinstalled the second; because while I played Moto Racer 2 with keyboard before, the game becomes a whole lot better experience with the X-Box controller for Windows.

There are many built-in tracks, but in contrast to the first Moto Racer, they are more than less mediocre (and forgettable) at best. So now I use the game mainly to design my own tracks and championships with the editor. I have a lot of fun both creating and racing those.


Icewind Dale II

It's been taking space on the disk for a while, and the party-making part is done, but I just can't get into it, for now.

I finished the first Icewind Dale thoroughly weeks ago and, even though it had its moments, it wasn't really an experience I would care to ever repeat.
Only games I have played in the last 3 months were Doom, Hexen and Resonance. Trying to finish Resonance before I go home but it's so annoying with the character switching and I hate playing games on a laptop without a desk.

Soon everything changes though and it's PC GAMING MARATHON TIME!
Arcanum!

I also played, at last, the tutorial in Company of Heroes and as I suspected I'll enjoy this game and I can't wait to see what the sequel will bring.
It is funny how Dungeon Keeper (Deeper Dungeons), which I earlier stopped playing in disgust because the Deeper Dungeon missions started feeling too hard, suddenly feels like a walk in a park, when you've tried to play Rise of the Nations Gold in the meantime (in hardest difficulty level, of course). The Deeper Dungeons level where I was earlier stuck, suddenly went through like a breeze, as well as two next levels.

I was finally about to win the first mission in RoN (Alexander campaign), being able to conquer one city at a time from the green rebellious ones... but simply ran out of time. It seems all the missions in RoN have time limits, for whatever reason. It didn't even make any sense in the context, why do I have only 90 minutes to try to conquer all green cities? The time limit seems very artificial.

I would probably love RoN, if it just didn't have those damn time limits. The game would feel very challenging even without them. If only there was a "turn off generic mission time limits" switch somewhere in the game...

I guess I'll try to play RoN with lower difficulty, but the problem is not that the enemy is too cunning or powerful, but just the damn time limit. I don't think the difficulty level selection affects the time limits, but they are always there.

Since the latest Intel HD driver fixed some games that I've had problems with before, I've finally been able to give Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee a try, which was next to unplayable before due to its video issues. I was always curious about that game since I first read about it in the '90s, so I'm glad I can finally experience it for myself.

It's a very fun puzzle platformer if quite challenging. Had to give up on some of the earlier challenge/rescue mini stages as a few of them are ridiculously tough to execute, not to mention being able to die afterwards before reaching the next checkpoint and having to do it all over again (ugh!). Anyway, it definitely has a lot of charm. All those pre-rendered sprites and cutscenes still look great in their low resolution glory. :)

I also just completed my run through the entire PoP (Sands) trilogy. Good fun if a bit frustrating with a couple of the boss fights due to some iffy lock-on controls at times.
The 2008 Alone in the Dark. I almost forgot how much I really enjoyed this game.
I am... Not sure actually. I've played surprisingly little. I suppose most of my time has gone to FTL, which is not too much (and in fact, that game works best casually).

Other than that... I suppose I've played The Old Republic when it went free (quite intensively for a while), but that has taken the backseat recently.

EDIT: Oh and editing Grimrock, but that is hardly playing.

Playing Baldur's Gate again modded with BGT. :)
The thing about me is that I can't just play 1 game at a time, so right now Wolfenstein 3D, Blood, TF2, Far Cry 1, Metro 2033 and Saint's Row: The Third are in rotation
New Super Mario Bros. U, ZombiU, Epic Mickey (for reasons unknown, called Micky Epic here in Germany) on the Wii/Wii U, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles and Mario Kart: Double Dash on the GameCube, and Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed and Tomb Raider Trilogy on PS3.
I have a bunch of games on HDD all the time, but what I am mainly playing atm are:

-Dark Souls (almost through)

-Chivalry Medieval Warfare

After Dark Souls Ill propably play through Rage as I suppose its pretty short FPS. My little brother is playing Planetside 2, so I may have to give it a shot as well. I would like to play the new UFO Enemy Unknown, but havent bought it yet as I have waaaay to many games on waiting list.
