What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

Frostbite 2.0 you say? Have they finally lived up to the promise they made with the orginal Bad Company and actually made things destructible?

Battlefield 3 Destruction Footage - FROSTBITE 2 - HD - YouTube

This doesn't show Caspian Border destruction, which includes fences, trees, shrubbery, etc

For some reason, I spend lots of time throwing things at people...

I was trying to play that the other week, but for some reason my game is skipping a lot, and the colour scheme is a bit messed up. Maybe I'll try uninstalling it and then re installing it and see if that clears it up, or just look on the Steam Forums to see if anyone else has been having the same issues.

In the mean time I've been playing this all week:

Having read the novel I'm pretty happy with how well it follows the events of the novel. The author's detail was also used quite heavily and is pretty noticeable which is pretty cool when you get a game that's written by a professional rather than a 13-year old fetal alcohol syndrome baby we get with most video games nowadays. It is a little frustrating though, when I have to spend $30 for a used game which has some noticeable bugs and glitches, whereas the game was on sale this week on Steam for like $2.99, but that's the deal you get for a gaming PC I guess. It's one of the most immersive games I've played in a long while and look forward to playing it more once my homework is finished.

Just bought Little Big Adventure and The Witcher on gog.com. LBA was 5.99 and The Witcher was a mere 4.99 .. I could spend more on a lunch!

The current Atari Collection Promo there is pretty awesome

This pre-order bonus with Saints Row: The Third almost makes me want to get the game

If it helps make your mind, the second game was absolutely fantastic. Especially in co-op.

Also teamwork actually matters in BF3.

And BF3 won't be the same game as BF2.

And there won't be 10 map packs at $20 a pack for BF3

And it won't be filled with 10 year olds

That enough reasons?

And it has huge maps.

And it has Frostbite 2.0

Plus more...

It looks like I`ll end up playing both games, anyway I seem to remember playing a game similiar to Battlefield several years ago now and it may have been an earlier Battlefield game or something similiar but I can`t remember the name of it. It basically had you as part of team and gave you the option of controlling your teammates as well in a number of different strategic moves.
