I recently purchased a copy of Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance for the Xbox, and for the most part it hasn't left my 360.

I'm replaying Mass Effect 2 to lead me into Mass Effect 3. Probably play it a few times to have different save files to load into the next one.

Also playing Starfarer, a pretty cool space game that's in alpha right now. When they get to the next version it's going to be a full space sim but right now it's just some pre-set missions. Still fun.

Got a link for that Starfarer game? Sounds fun

It's a 2D game with some pretty nice sprite designs. The company is using a set up similar to Minecraft: you buy in at a low price now (I think it's 10 dollars) to play around and help fund the company, and you get the updates (and eventually the full game) without having to pay more.

As is it's a series of stock encounters. The promise is that eventually you'll be able to do a great amount of customizing and outfitting on a range of ship types with a focus on empire building.

The game isn't a full RTS though, you take actual control over one of the ships under your command and operate it using key commands, managing weaponry, raising and lowering shields, venting built up radiation, etc. I'm looking forward to the next step in the developement.

Looks interesting. Keep us informed when it gets out of alpha.

Started The Darkness II.  It's like Tom Church wrote the concept of the main character.  Pretty slick so far.

I finally decided I'm not going to find every car in LA Noire. Overall I liked the game, but the story makes a few weird narrative choices halfway through the arson desk, and I don't think that Cole's motives made any sense at all.

Anyway. For my next trick, I will now attempt to finish Mass Effect 2!

(Cue the awkward moment when you try and figure out what the hell you were doing five months ago.)

Well, looks like Kingdoms of Amalur is replacing all the video games I'm currently playing.

Eh, just restart it.  That's what I always do...

And probably why I never finish games that I don't play obsessively over the summer...

Been playin' Towns. It is a dwarf Fortress Lite, isometric graphics. Currently in Alpha, its a blast. I've managed to starve two colonies to death. I recommend playing through the tutorial. I think there is a demo too. http://www.desura.com/games/towns

Be warned! it is a time vampire (in the best possible way)
I wish I was Tom.

Granted, you are now Tom.

Beat The Darkness II a few days ago. Good game, rather short though. I'd give it about an 8.5 outta 10.

Startin' on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Graphically buggy as hell, tons of pop-in, lots of lipsynch errors, but uh, as long as it isn't ascii, I really don't give a damn about graphics, and the gameplay is pretty fun.

The stage design creeps me out a bit though; it reminds me of 'what if World of Warcraft had gameplay?'

So, Hallway Effect 3 and Silent Hill Downpour, not to mention Ninja Gaiden 3 and Armored Core V comes out next month. Anyone lookin' forward to that?

Downpour, I think, is the one I'm most interested in. After reading through the design philosophies and hearing the designers talk about how they wanted to approach the game, it has some real potential to be great.

I'll probably pick up Convenient Waist-High Boxes Effect 3 too, if only for more Jennifer Hale.
