Gears of War 3, all types of multiplayer.
I still love the brutality!

Thanks to Steams Halloween sale, I'm finally getting around to playing the original Bioshock since I missed it years ago. Odd, since I've already played Bioshock 2.

Also a fun little indy space game called Space Pirates and Zombies.

These days I’m playing COD MW2, True Crime and GTA Liberty City. I love to play these games because these games are very thrilling and very interesting.

I finished Arkham City yesterday.

I'm currently playing NBA 2k12.

I've got so many games on the go, it's madness.

I feel I'm nearly done Arkham City. Only have 140 Riddler trophies and haven't completed many side missions, but I'm at a point in the game where it won't let me wander off and do those.

Going to log some time playing U3 tonight, I hope.

Zelda in a week. YESSS!

[Sterculius]

Currently working my way through Professor Layton and the Last Specter.

[archeryguy1701]

Got Modern Warfare 3 and am working my way through that.

[JD]

Working through Batman: Arkham City, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One (multiplayer with my mom), and I just downloaded and played DCUniverse Online for my PS3 for the first time.

Blocks that Matter.

I've been playing quite a lot of indie games recently, and I have to say I am impressed with the quality.

I think I've spent more time playing Indie games in the past few years than I have professional games. The level of quality you can get for $5 - $10 (and sometimes free) is simply incredible.

Anyway, Blocks That Matter looks fantastic. I'll be picking that up for sure.

Good choice. It also comes with its own level editor and the community have already created a plethora of additional levels.

Anyways, I was searching the Steam store yesterday to see if anything would take my fancy, and I came across this little gem... Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. How I've gone so long without playing it or even being aware of the series I don't know. I'm completey hooked.

It seems Skyrim seems to be all the gossip in the Elder Scrolls series currently. I'll be adding that to my Christmas list.

Just finished what is probably my last ever playthrough of Mass Effect! I say last because it's my third run at a level 60 character, so I swear I know that entire game verbatim by now.

For anyone who's never done it, getting to Lv60 requires at least two (sometimes three!) consecutive playthroughs. My first attempt (about a year ago) was a bust having only got to Lv58 after two complete attempts, I couldn't be arsed to try again for a third. Recently though, I discovered that the secret to doing it in two was surprisingly simple: don't kill anything with the Mako. You get a *massive* XP boost for killing enemies on foot (especially thresher maws, heavy turrets & geth armatures/colossi) and by the end of the first playthrough (doing every side mission, opening every container etc.) I'd gotten all the way up to Lv57. The second playthrough was a breeze and I hit Lv60 before Virmire.

I should add that playing Mass Effect at Lv60 changes the experience dramatically. Since by this point there's no more xp to get, your equipment is all top notch and your credit and omnigel are both maxed there's no need to bother opening crates, or even stopping to kill everything. The Mako runs on both Virmire & Ilos are especially hilarious as I was just speeding on through, taking only pot shots at geth troopers and running over any armatures before speeding off round the next corner!
