What are you playing right now?

I'm playing Tales of Xillia in expectation of part two. I'm simultaneously going through Uncharted 3 and another game on Xbox Live that I forget the name of right this moment.
Xillia isn't as good as Vesperia. The characters aren't as strong, and the game itself is way easier than Vesperia, but Xillia is a good game.

For my birthday I received a replacement Gamecube and some games for it, so I am currently playing (or should I say replaying) through:

Resident Evil 0
Super Mario Sunshine
Pokemon Colosseum
Waverace: Blue storm

I have recently finished playing through:

Legend of Zelda: A link between worlds
Resident Evil: REmake
Resident Evil 4 (The gamecube version, but I have played through that game so much, I have it memorized)

Yeah, I am going through a bit of a Nintendo kick at the moment, it's nice to replay games you played a lot as a kid, especially when you have had a busy and/or stressful day.

Nothing really.

I just really want to get The Banner Saga.

[small]Not having it is unbearable.[/small]

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Okami at the moment.

Things waiting to be played afterwards:
The Last Story
Digital Devil Saga 1&2
Odin Sphere
Muramasa The Demon Blade
Banner Saga
Pandora's Tower
Kingdom Hearts 1,2 & Chains of Memories

Yep, got my hands full 'till Thief releases.

I'm currently playing Arkham Origins. I have strongly mixed feelings about it. I'll be preparing a review after I finish it.

 

[Aesir23]

I'm replaying Dragon Age: Awakening which I intend to follow with DA2 and then either with the Mass Effect games or Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

I'm currently playing Arkham Origins. I have strongly mixed feelings about it. I'll be preparing a review after I finish it.

I've heard it's as good as Arkham City, but that because it didn't take gameplay anywhere new, it suffered for lack of originality. Considering how City was a quantum leap for Asylum (love both games but it's always good to keep things fresh) I guess the criticism is valid. Even if Origins is by all means a good game on its own.

The story missions of Origins are easily on par with Arkham City it's just that the game is spread way too thin. A too large area that is not only unpopulated(other than thugs) but also hinges on repetition as an incentive to explore it. They better could have kept it more compact like keeping it confined to Arkham City. You can see the story of Origins is made by Batman enthusiasts but the game itself relies solely on the excellent foundation laid out by Rocksteady. It does little to nothing to differentiate itself as far as gameplay is concerned, so they might have well just kept it in the same area as City. The side-missions aren't nearly as good as in City either. But like I said the story missions are really good.

Dynasty Warriors 8, I was trying to play that and Beyond: Two Souls at the same time but I wanted the instant gratification of DW8. Now I'm trying to balance Assassins Creed: Black Flag and Liberation HD, but still keep floating back to DW.

FYI if I remember correctly the Pacifist achievement on DE:HR counts the prologue as well, so you can't kill anyone during the assault on Sarif Industries. No, you don't have a non-lethal option at that point! You must just make it by everyone.

For no alarms, I'm pretty sure you're also ok if you're temporarily spotted by bots; you just have to get out of view again immediately.


OT: Civ4 BTS has dragged me back in, the heartless bastard! I've got so many new games to play and here I am conquering the world again..

 

[Summerstorm]

At the moment i am on a nostalgia trip:

Playing:

Dungeon Keeper II
and
Baldurs Gate (I am ashamed to say i never played it through back then)

also a lot of early access games i bought over the last few months:
NeoScavenger
Kenshi
Kerbal Space
tried Rust for an hour or so
Starfarer
and such games, but mostly not very intensive (I don't want to spoil myself for when they are updated and have more content)

There are definitely good things about it, but yes the originality is suffering.

Just recently picked up ZombiU, so I'm having fun trying to update that from the internet before it loses signal again. Seriously though, it's a great game, not something I'd usually play. Rouge like games are a special case where I just want to give up after my good run goes to crap. Other games, just try again. Rouge likes, start from scratch and this time be better than before with less stuff.

But this game balances that really well. There's certain things you can do to make sure you're not left with nothing, nails the atmosphere, besides that, it's nice to run around smacking zombies with an unbreakable cricket bat now and again.

Also trying to get into Metal Gear Rising: R. Played it for a short while, I do kinda like it. But it's been a while since I played through the Metal Gear series, tempted to go back and play through them all one by one, then get back to Rising just for a little something different. Need to be in the right mood for that though, else the Metal Gear games just seem to drag.
