It's also when advertising really starts to kick in hard. Sony America seems to have one of the better ad strategies in recent months, this is their newest.

The execution is cheesy, but it's a great idea

So, what are people playing? I'm mainly still playing Gears of War 3 in multiplayer, and working my way through F.3.A.R. for reasearch reasons.

Been playing through RAGE (The love child of id and Bethesda) recently, just as a rental. It's not bad. If you were a fan of FALLOUT or BORDERLANDS (but without the Diablo style loot grind) or even RED FACTION I'd say give it a try.

I will say the whole time I've been playing it, I can't shake the feeling that something absolutely fucking terrible is about to happen at every turn.

FROM DUST is a lot of fun: shaping the world, saving tribes, finding mystic shamanism that allows me to repel Tsunamis and Lava. All in a day for the spirit of the world.

On the PC front, League of Legends (Dominion is out!) and World of Warcraft (Ugh...just....ugh.) ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311479#Comment_311479 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311479#Comment_311479 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:22:37 -0700 RenThing

I'm undecided what to start now. Since Arkham City is being released later this month I'll probably try to finish Arkham Asylum before it comes out. Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is probably the only thing that'll stop Skyrim from taking over my free time next month. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311515#Comment_311515 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311515#Comment_311515 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 20:35:25 -0700 James Cunningham
Radiant HIstoria- Absolutely lovely J-RPG, and the first one I've devoted any time to in several years. I love the story mechanics of zipping between two time streams that split when a major decision was made. Skills learned in one open up paths in the other, or allow you to zip back to an earlier point in time to open up little side-quests. And the battle system has yet to get repetitive, which is amazing!

The Binding of Isaac- twin-stick shooter for PC that's based on Zelda and heavy randomization. Random rooms in random layouts with random monsters in them, and random upgrades to survive. It's dark, twisted, worryingly funny, and wonderfully wrong. Also highly addicting, and I really can't recommend it strongly enough. Especially for $5.

Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection- If you have a PS3 it should be in your collection, simple as that. Here's proof in handy Review format. :)

Scoregasm- Twin-stick shooty madness, and the sequel to a personal favorite, Bullet Candy. I won't be playing too much of it soon, though, because of all the time I put in during beta. Plus, as I may have implied, I've got more games than time to play them in right now.

Dark Souls is coming soon, but I loved Demon's Souls hard so this "waiting" thing isn't sitting well. Soon!

Also, Dead Island. I obsess over side-quests, but have slowed down until the patch releases. I want to write a review for it but I'm not wasting my time playing it with critical intent until it stops having one of the most broken interfaces ever. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311516#Comment_311516 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311516#Comment_311516 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 20:39:05 -0700 Corey Waits Frozen Synapse. Haven't won a multiplayer round yet, but I'm having fun with the plotting and losing. I think if I was more patient I would probably do better, but I just can't be bothered simulating all the enemy's possible moves.

I've sunk something like 16 hours into DefenseGrid:The Awakening in the past couple of weeks, and now I'm contemplating buying the DLC because apparently I have plenty of money and time. If you like Tower Defense though, DG is the best one I've come across (apart from Trenched, but that's such a different take on the genre it doesn't really count).

Got no interest in any of the big releases coming out, so that should give me some time to actually play through all the games in my backlog. I'm also expecting the complete Dawn of War 2 pack to arrive in the mail today, so it's not like I'll be starving for games. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311551#Comment_311551 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311551#Comment_311551 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:17:00 -0700 jonah http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311567#Comment_311567 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311567#Comment_311567 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 05:47:45 -0700 brittanica really sensitive to sad songs).

I also finished Final Fantasy XIII, because although I had stopped playing it months ago, I was close to the end and didn't want to start a new game before the one-two punch of Arkham City and Uncharted 3.

Thankfully, I WAS interested enough to stick with it for a total of 70 hours. Did all the hunts I could do before the post-ending grid increase (including a couple of fights I technically wasn't strong enough for, but managed to claw my way through), and then was pleased to discover some real exploratory areas between the corridors.

It's a shame, though. If they'd just tightened the game a bit, removed some of the repetitive "oh no we can't do it/oh yes we can" dialogue, and above all axed ten to fifteen hours of corridors from the start of the game, they would've had a really GREAT game. As it is, I feel a lot of players were tired of it once they got to the meat of the game - 15-20 hours in. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311738#Comment_311738 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311738#Comment_311738 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 16:00:26 -0700 tedcroland
I haven't been playing much. Over the summer I got really into Team Fortress 2, just before it went free-to-play, but I've kind of gotten out of it as gaming has become more casual since I started school.

I really want Arkham City, but my X-Box is busted and it doesn't come out for PC until November and I can't really afford it anyway. Oh well, I can wait. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311757#Comment_311757 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311757#Comment_311757 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 21:26:27 -0700 DonburiBoy
It's certainly a gorgeous game, but either Final Fantasy games aren't as good as when I was a kid, or I've just grown to not like them any more. I don't think I'll even consider going back to a JRPG until they decide to include Japanese audio tracks with subtitles. Horrible dialogue and bad writing are easier to ingest through other languages and subtitles.

But in a few weeks, Arkham City will be here and I can leave it all behind. Then Uncharted 3. Then I return to my never-ending backlog of games. Assassin's Creed II, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Ico/Shadow of the Colossus, LittleBigPlanet 2, Portal 1...

I tried to make this deal with myself that I wouldn't buy new games until I had finished a few of the ones I already had. I forgot that there's also a new Legend of Zelda coming out soon. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311773#Comment_311773 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311773#Comment_311773 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 00:43:09 -0700 James Cunningham
I think I've lost my taste for J-RPGs. The first one I've actively enjoyed in years is Radiant HIstoria. I used to play a ton of them, like Lunar 1&2, Chrono Trigger, Arc the Lad, Shining Force, etc. Now I start playing, the game talks forever before giving the player even a bit of freedom, and even if I don't put it down out of boredom after 2 hours I still tend to find the battle systems better suited to putting me to sleep than anything else. The genre just feels like it stagnated.

On a side-note, one of these days I've got to take another crack at Knights in the Knightmare. It practically requires a phd in its battle system to clear even the first fight, but I get the sense there's something in there worth finding.

-edit- And wouldn't you know, after posting this here's the video for the Serious Sam RPG-

As a genre it has ceased to move on. All the ones I've seen on PS3 and 360 might well have been on the PS1 for all the use they're making of the power and storage space beyond 'ooh shiny'.

Even the most stagnant western genre, the FPS, throws in interesting new ideas every now and then. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311797#Comment_311797 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=311797#Comment_311797 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 09:25:49 -0700 joe.distort

I got Tactics Ogre for the PSP but don't have a lot of time to play it. I was a big fan of Final Fantasy Tactics so playing a similar game from the same creators appealed to me.

Final Fantasy 6 was my favourite in the series. 9 is my favourite PS1 entry. I enjoyed bits and pieces of 10 and 12. I thought 10 had a decent cast and a great soundtrack, the story wasn't too shabby, but really cheesy in some places. I loved the design and world of 12, but the characters were forgettable and the story wasn't all that great.

I will probably cave and get Ni No Kuni, simply for the visuals.

For those looking at getting Arkham City, are you planning on getting the DLC as it comes out, or hold off and wait for a game of the year edition? This, and Uncharted 3, are the first games I've ever pre-ordered. Usually I just wait for cheaper, more complete versions. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312363#Comment_312363 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312363#Comment_312363 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 19:34:25 -0700 twentythoughts http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312377#Comment_312377 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312377#Comment_312377 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 22:40:49 -0700 Corey Waits http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312381#Comment_312381 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312381#Comment_312381 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 23:46:30 -0700 James Cunningham http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312384#Comment_312384 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312384#Comment_312384 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 01:29:51 -0700 IsaacSher here, and I have to say I was extremely impressed with it. I'm still playing it long after the review was finished.

Some folks have mentioned Defense Grid -- to my mind, that's the pinnacle of Tower Defense, and I've been playing it off and on for over two years now. But a close second is Kingdom Rush, which can be played for free through armorgames. Both are VERY fun, and Kingdom Rush has made some nice updates of late.

There's also a new version of Elevator Action out for the PS3 that I'm loving the heck out of -- and as a nice bonus, it comes packaged with the original arcade version. :)

I think someone else here nailed it on Deus Ex -- it rewards perfection, and punishes even slight flaws in your gameplay. I've still enjoyed it, but it's been set to the wayside for now.

As for Final Fantasy, I did play XIII, right up to the final boss, and then quit. That final boss just continued to kick my ass, despite my managing to handle everything else the game threw at me, and despite a fair amount of grinding on my part. So I gave up on it. I still think XIII is an alright game, but it doesn't come close to beating X, which is the best of the series for me (followed by VII and VI). I've heard that XIII-2 is trying to fix some of the problems folks had with XIII, like the extreme linear nature, and so I'll be willing to give it a look. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312389#Comment_312389 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312389#Comment_312389 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 03:36:14 -0700 Darkest

So, I'm playing through all six campaigns in Dawn of War II: Retribution (they're nearly identical aside form the race you play, but the dialogue and hammy acting makes it worth it), nearly done with The Witcher 2 (brilliant and beautiful, but my computer grumbles trying to run it, and it is fiendishly difficult even with all the patches that make things easier) halfway through Fallout: New Vegas (awesome), eating up all the Fallout 3 DLC (nearly as awesome) slogging through Darksiders (much better than I expected, but the lack of a quick save and the fact that it can't seem to decide whether it wants to be about combat or puzzles are both annoying), and occasionally doing a mission or two in Far Cry 2 (a solid and very high-quality shooter, but for some reason I still find myself getting bored with it).

So I have plenty of things to play, but none of them are Skyrim, and due to my own foolish impulse purchases I probably won't be able to buy it on release day. Damn you, Steam sales, why are you so enticing? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312633#Comment_312633 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=312633#Comment_312633 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:26:16 -0700 D.J.

They improved everything: the combat, the riddles, the story, the design, everything. They even managed to include Hush and Azrael and make it not terrible.

Parts of it are a bit over-the-top-gritty though. That and the "bitch" thing are my only complaints. Otherwise, it's been my most enjoyable game experience since Fallout: New Vegas. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=313293#Comment_313293 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=313293#Comment_313293 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 12:40:21 -0700 Alastair http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=313294#Comment_313294 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=313294#Comment_313294 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 12:42:59 -0700 James Cunningham

It's by the people who did the Williams and Gottlieb collections. I am so damn excited for this one like you would not believe! Classic (and kinda-sorta classic) pinball tables with physics that feel just perfect.

It's going to be for pretty much everything- iPad/phone, XBLA, PSN, Win/Mac, Android, PSP Vita, 3DS.

I really dug the sigils to track Azrael and I guess he's hinting at a future game as well as tracking down Hush after he's completed his transformation. Creepy shit.

And when the ship design screen asks you whether you want a Camel module or a Hannibal module, and there are no tooltips, a manual is something you need.

Still, besides that it looks rather pretty and it sure looks like there's some deep gameplay that will emerge once the manual and a few enormous patches clear the scum from the surface of the pond.

Still, I am disappoint. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=314102#Comment_314102 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=314102#Comment_314102 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:52:40 -0700 agentarsenic
BUT TOMORROW - Batman goes back to Blockbuster, and Uncharted 3 comes home with me.

If you gamers who don't really care about ownership have a nearby Blockbuster - they're running a program that competes with Gamefly, and you can just switch out at the store. No waiting for mail.

Most I've got on pre-order, but as I'm actually off work the day Skyrim drops, I shall just go pick that up off the shelf.

I was aiming to top 50k gamerscore by the end of the year, but as I'm only 400 short now, I suspect I'll hit that easily (I try to do about 10,000 a year as it means I'm not just playing 'only the good stuff', as part of my job I like to make sure I'm playing the average and the poor so I can learn...) ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=314170#Comment_314170 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10262&Focus=314170#Comment_314170 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:40:52 -0700 D.J.
