So, we've got "what are you watching" and "what are you listening to" threads, so why not one for "what are you playing?"

Me, I've dusted off an old friend that I'm looking forward to spending many hours on...

And I've got this crazy idea...complete everything...

And I mean EVERYTHING...close every Oblivion gate, fully explore every cave, lair, castle, etc...own and upgrade every property, and then, and only then, complete the main quest, with the expansion to follow...

Here's hoping I can get it done by November 10...

I've been playing a TON of Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Just about daily over the past few weeks.

Been playing COD4 a lot more now in preparation for the sequel. When not playing that, I'm getting my ass handed to me by Don Tiny in Magic: The Gathering.

Oblivion has a lot of potential with mods, out of the box though, it was impossible to play the game the way I like to play RPGs and not get totally screwed later in the game.

As for currently, I play Rock Band and Tiger Woods 2009 on PS3 and Empire: Total War on PC.

Playing the co-op Shi No Numa map for Nazi zombies on COD: WaW. Very addictive. I think a new map pack is coming out soon too. Should be some new multiplayer maps and another zombie map... I haven't even played multiplayer or the single player for this game yet.

I killed endless hours on the PC w/ TES III .... how would you compare/contrast III & IV?

Also, I've recently (perhaps shamefully?) been playing the hell out of the Star Wars lego game.

I'm ashamed to admit that I never played Morrowind, so I don't know how they compare...my only knowledge of III was a friend of mine from college who one night was telling me about how awesome this game was, and he went into great detail about his character...at the time, I thought he was a huge nerd...

Oops...

This is where I really rub it in by stating that, until MtG came out fox the 360, I hadn't played a game of MtG since Mirage made it's debut ... ha ha!!!

Thx anyway .... I'm guessing it can only be as good or better.

Got to it a little late because I was worried about not living up the great story line of the first one... Half Life 2. It has some solid visuals, but for the most part I am disappointed with the story.

The only thing im really disappointed in is the storyline. The story in the first one was awesome. When I played the first game for the first time, the story line was engrossing. With the military shows up at first and you realize they are against you, its a great twist. Then warping into other dimensions was pretty fooked. So far this one just seems to be so-so.

Let's see...

The Bigs 2 - Legend mode is pretty damn fun - building yourself as a player and building attributes is pretty cool.

Fable 2 - I know it takes a beating from other people but this game is kind of fun.

Left 4 Dead - I will play this until Left 4 Dead 2 comes out

Red Faction Guerilla - not bad, not bad at all

I am picking up Damnation tonight - I will let you guys know what I think.

Does that game have vampire creatures as well? I watched my brother play that game one day and was slightly interested but mostly confused .....

Really? I can't recall seeing anything bad said about it...might not be everyone's favorite, but I don't know anyone who said it sucks...

I thought it was one of the best games of last year...

I have heard on Xbox forums that this was a bit too much of a "wimpy" game.

not sure how anyone who has played it more than 5 minutes can come up with that understanding of the game.
