    What have you been playing and why?

    Title.

    Iv been trying my hand at Starcraft 2 but theres a wall of information let alone things you need to master before playing at a decent level. Simultaneously fun and painful at the same time.

    Re: What have you been playing and why?

    I have a bunch of semi-naff titles on Steam that I've not played, so have been basically clearing them out. Most were part of bundles, as I'd likely never have bought these outright. Things like Binary Domain and Dungeon Siege III...

    I've not really managed more than a few hours on any of them.
    I'll work through these, then crack on with AC:IV and Remember Me.

    Its a great game if you stick with it.

    I don't know how much you know, but check out imbabuilds.com gives some example builds that are helpfull for newer players and upward. There is another site but i can't remember the name of it, also, use twitch.tv to watch some of the pro players streaming, good way to pick up build orders and such.

    Infact, if you want drop me / leave your bnet id here and ill add you.

    Re: What have you been playing and why?

    I'm currently replaying Portal 2, I loved it first time round and bought it cheap on Steam last year. Really enjoying it again, just picked up the GladOs potato

    Looking forward to trying the community maps.

    I started GRID Autosport recently, but have completely lost interest after a few races, bit of a waste of money, in my opinion.

    Keep playing Civilization Revolution on the Xbox 360 at the moment, its rather addictive. Can't wait until I buy all the bits and bobs for my PC and can finally play Civ V on the PC!

    I love path of exile, it is far to unforgiving sometimes. Ill make a new build once the new leagues start up. Always wanted to do an aura/IIR/Q type build, seems quite difficult though.

    Trying to trudge through GTA4 DLC's. After playing Gta 5, going back to the last game is tough. I never realised so many things were refined.

    Path of Exile, a bit more Path of Exile, and in my spare time, some more Path of Exile!

    The Dev team of this game is truly incredible, they actually listen to feedback and are capable of both meaningful and regular dialogue with the players. Their customer service is astounding, but most important of all the game is just incredible. It's blessed with immense re-playability and depth, with an almost overwhelming rate of content updates. Oh, and did I say it was free and totally devoid of pay to win? Could anyone really ask for more?

    Re: What have you been playing and why?

    Captain Planet and the Planeteers on Amiga, on an actual Amiga 500+ and 50" plasma - the way it was always meant to be played..

    Nostalgia bug kicked in thanks to MaverickWill here: http://forums.hexus.net/gaming/32644...ml#post3331777

    Still stuck on the heart level, got further than I have before, but moving those elephants with the helicopter is impossible!

    Game is actually pretty good (other than that annoying early 90s platformer "feature" of not being able to move mid-air during a jump).
