I'd say about 15 to 20 hours tops.
I have been playing Frontlines Fuel of War (360). I like it. Final Fantasy 6 (SNES) and Dragon Quest 5.
Finished Sword of Hope 2 for GB.
Let's dance!
I've been playing:
Team Fortress 2
Fallen in love again with the game. Have spent more than 20 hours in the past few days and have a couple nice servers already in my favorite list. This is the quintessential class based shooter, and an incredible online experience. Besides, it has fucking HATS.
Europa Universalis III
I'm done with the tutorials. Which showed me this game is beyond complex. I will update my strategy/sim thread once I actually start playing it.
I haven't played much this week at all. Only Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Talk about being out of my comfort zone. I really care nothing about WW2 type shooters, but the mp is addictive to me at the moment. I played a bit with strangers and one session with Spaz from Gamespot. It's got a different feel to it than Black Ops, not a slick. I can see myself getting tired of it quick, though. I don't see how guys liker Rragnaar can be up to level 44 in this.
I'll probably finish the single player campaign before the Darksiders playathon. It's going to be LEGEN...wait for it...DARY!
i need to get around to beating bayontta but i have been mostly playing fallout 3 its good but the cons are more then the pro's, i'll return it and get the game of the year edition

It looks pretty much confirmed that the PSP2 will have 3G and an OLED screen -- some suppliers are taking.
This thing ain't going to be cheap to make. I wonder if Sony has learned anything about their pricing strategy with the PS3?
It is very possible that the 3G will only be for Japan, and elsewhere you can use wi-fi I suppose.
Love the new sig Agnates.
I turned on sigs just to see it. It was worth it. Bravo Agnates.
I'm currently playing Valkyria Chronicles..... still, which I may soon dub "that game that will not end." I don't think I'll finish it before Feb 1st and the Darksiders group play starts. I'm okay with that though. The game has been a lot of fun, and if I didn't play anymore at this point I'd still be more than satisfied with it. I just want to see the ending, but it's all getting a little old now so we'll see if I can will it to the end.
And of course Pac-Man CE : DX. Since I've enjoyed that so much I downloaded the Namco Museum with has Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, and Galaga - all excellent games. There's also two versions of Xevious and Dragon Spirit, all of which I say "meh." Still for the other 3 games it's quite worth it. Very unhappy there isn't an online leader board though. What good is comparing your high score with just your friends? Particularly when your friends are pure evil and don't like Pac-Man.
I'm playing LBP2 of course.
I dont know what is going on in that Yuji Naka game but I want it. Nights + Sin and Punishment, fuck yes.
Story above about Square and how they'll fix FF14.
“The issue that players would first like to see addressed is a general lack of game content, followed by changes to the battle system,” detailed Yoshida.
From the Strangers Wrath Story: (Sounds like it was fairly broken -- even telling you the wrong controls in the tutorial)
I'm amazed at how many mistakes SE made with FF14. There were a lot with FF11, but it fairness it was their first MMORPG and there really weren't more than a half dozen really big and successful ones to look to for direction or inspiration. I know they were trying to beat Cataclysm to market, but this wasn't the way to do it. Ironic how appropriately that name would have fit FF14...
The worse thing they did was alienate their loyal FF11 players. They were apparently so obsessed with tweaking it to make it appealing to the Chinese market, and getting it out the door to beat Cata that they shipped an unfinished product.
With a numbered FF no less, for shame. For shame, Square.
I think they can redeem it though. Even if they only bring over 80% of the existing FF11 players they will have saved the situation and htey can build from there.
I don't know if I'd call it saving a situation as much as I'd call it "not completely ruining it beyond all repair." Ultimately they failed in the west with it. At best they're going to keep some of the current audience, but they won't be building on it. Cataclycsm and DCUO have both received good enough reviews to make people not give FF14 a second look. Maybe it'll fair better in the east.
Well, see I do think there is a large enough base of users on FF11 (that for whatever reason have shunned WoW) that are staying on 11 until 14 is fixed. They'll also get a boost of users when the console releases IF AND ONLY IF they can turn around the quality enough to have the reviewers who hated the PC version give good scores. The contrast would be more promotion than they could otherwise get.
I don't see them as competing with WoW, they are competing with 11.
