Thread: My gaming habits as of late:P

So basically between my new work and life I don't have any long amounts of time to invest in a game . So I'm limiting myself to games I can play and enjoy while only playing them for a a little bit at a time. And I figured I'd make a thread with a little mini reviews for the games I've found tat work for me . (rough draft atm, gonna update it a lot later, probably tomorrow morning.)

Magicka - by far the best one, is multiplayer from 2-4 players and is redicolously fun to play with a few friends.

Alien Swarm - free, moderately fun, I don't enjoy it as much as Magicka but have used it to play with some rl friends who otherwise wouldn't play video games with me (they aren't interested in them enough to spend $).

SC2 - campaign is great as you can save and quit at any time, vs. AI is kinda meh unless you're playing vs them to become pro/ish which defeats the purpose of minimal time investment. MP is great if you already bought it (had a little lan party by a friends house we had about 4 copies between the 9 of us so we had a few tourneys) however spending 60$ on a game I'm not that into wasn't rlly an option for me so I'm still looking into a Hamachi Lan option.

SuperMeatBoy - indie arcade game, ridiculously hard and frustrating but still fun at the same time.

Braid - epic puzzle game although after one playthrough it gets boring

Pokemon - was always a fan so I dled a DS emulator when black and white came out, actually really enjoyed it. can be saved anytime and you can play vs friends for free online via smogon or something like that.

Batman Arkham Asylum - not that great a choice as you can't save that often. but it's a fucking epicly cool game, combat is amazing graphics are crazy good.

Mass Effect 1,2/Dragon Age O,2 - fun if you like the genre, can save and quit very often. ME1,2 I enjoyed about the same (haven't finished 1 yet started with 2). DA:O FAR superior to DA2, DA2 is like a placeholder/sideshow between O and 3 (when it's released)

Prototype - only just started it, seems fun, reminds me a lot of this old spiderman game i had on ps2 a while back.


And of course

CoD4 which every1 knows and loves

will update sometime tomorrow or maybe later tonight.

I agree with Magicka, playing solo is boring and impossible but with atleast 1 friend it's soooo much fun.

I played Super Meat Boy alot and i think i ragequited at world 5, insanely hard.

Atm im playing cod4, lol and minecraft

lol psycho, kicking it oldschool? if you ever get to platinum (4g) or black/white (5g) play me online i'll link you to the battle emulator thing, it's free.

Wtf my post never...posted

well i said minecraft is an amazing game but you just can play it for 10 minutes it eats time up faster than a chocolate cake at fat camp.

yeah I know I played minecraft a bit when it was free. spent hours making mazes, castles, and flying rainbows... umm.

I have never finished one of them XD but I am making good progress atm how is the graphics of the new b&w and platinum??

lol minecraft where any thing is possible . . . . . . except circles . . . .

I bought a few of the FrozenByte Humble Bundle's (see The Humble Frozenbyte Bundle (pay what you want for five awesome video games) for info) and I have 2 to give away. Anyone who doesn't have credit card access is welcome to one . However there are some rules:

1) You must have at least 50 non-spam posts on the forums to eligible. (35 posts, ie: member status, is acceptable depending on how recently you joined and the type of posts)
2) You need to have posted a picture of yourself in this thread Pictures Of Players (you're more than welcome to post one just for this)
3) Not a rule but a recommendation, don't try to get one from me if you have access to a credit card or PayPal just go to the site (see The Humble Frozenbyte Bundle (pay what you want for five awesome video games) for info) and buy one (if you're really really ^^ cheap it only costs a penny).

p.s. I paid whatever the average was at the time for the Bundle.


edit:
@ psycho
graphics for B/W are more or less the same except for a few minor differences, most noticeable ones being: they cleaned up the battles by making the moves a little faster, speeding up the text, and adding constant animations to the Pokemon as well as changing camera angles. There's also a few spots where you switch to a quasi 3rd person view angle. You can try it on an emulator to see I recommend Desmume PM if you want links.

Thanks will check out B/W m8
People those games seem awesome!!(The Humble Frozenbyte Bundle)
I only got Trine so far (as my connection is slow with the downloads )
