oversized font cannot convey my excitement enough  

edit: Dom's beard is important, and the girl soldier is Anya. that's straight from cliffy b.

That is exciting, but my giblets are quivering for Crysis 2 even more.

I've gotten through Assassin's Creed II once and a half times, and am thinking of buying Prince Of Persia next. Is it any good?

I do some thorough gaming, but not at the expense of what little life I have with my friends.

Indded. A very important point which should be rigorously observed.

Just a few hours a week. I'm quite busy.

It's not often, but when my buddy Josh & I get together, we tear up some CoD:2 on multiplayer. When we're not though, I get an hour in here & there on my 360. I really need to play Red Dead Redemption.

[AtheistBrit]

I play a few games, little and often.

World of Warcraft http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... &cn=Laskia
Sims 3
Sonic the Hedgehog (all games up to and including Sonic Adventure 2, then the series totally jumped the shark)
Age of Empires II and III, Age of Mythology
Command and Conquer
Final Fantasy

I am currently playing ff6 Advance on my DS.  It was a fun game 10 years ago when I first played it on SNES and it's fun now as a handheld title.  <3

Hey gang... ok, a bit of an ad.. but it's also a game!

My first iPhone game is out (I'm the voices, not the coder) - it's called Bump Wars:

I don't have an iPhone myself, but I've been told this is available in the app store.

I've also got a couple of used games from GameStop coming today.
First time I've bought from them (and first time for used games).

I was a fan of the first Raving Rabbids game, so I got Raving Rabbids 2 and TV Party.
Plus I finally picked up Mortal Kombat vs. DCU for the Xbox360
All 3 games for $50.

This used game thing may catch on with me! (assuming they're in good shape)...

Happy Tuesday,

Has anyone got starcraft 2? The original game was so revered, I can't help but think that Blizzard are fighting an uphill battle to keep the fans happy.

Speaking of Blizzard, did you work on Diablo 3 Joe? If so, can you give me any info, at all, what so ever that hasn't been released already? I'm getting ready to become a hermit when that game comes out.

In order... Yes... No... (wish I knew more ;-)

Looks like it's gonna be an awesome game, but the release date is still TBA as far as I know...

Thanks anyway, can you tell us what you did once the game is released?

Also, Alien swarm is free on steam, it's amazing, never played a game with such tight teamwork, even in pickup games.

[Smarmy Of One]

Addicted to Left 4 Dead 2. Can't get enough zombie killing - if killing is the right word. (and I guess it is because in the L4D franchise the zombies are infected people not undead â€" so there).

I play on X-Box Live mostly. Valve puts out a weekly "mutation" to the games rules that are usually pretty cool.

I also really like Portal - another Valve game. And was a big fan of the Half Life series ... also Valve.

There is a pattern here ...

I have been getting into Bioshock 2 a little as well. A friend just loaned me his Mass Effect 2, but the RPG games are usually a little too involved for me. I like to be able to get in and get out.

p.p.s. Loved Portal - Portal 2 in the works, ya know...

What's your steam name? We can pwn aliens together.

it's "joeactor" (I think)... but I'll warn you - I'm not on much, and not very good... maybe I should be an informant for the aliens?
