What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

Omfg yes! The type of missions where the person you are protecting stays in one place while dozens of waves come at you are annoying too.

Need for Speed 2 now playing. It is most favorite game of mine.

The protection mission in Resi 4, where Ashley hides in the wardrobe in the cabin while Luiz and yourself fight off the hordes, was one of the best ever. They're good when done properly.

Which they almost never are as they are usually just filler missions.

Wasteland 2

InXile Entertainment released their beta yesterday to people who backed the game on Kickstarter or who bought the $20 add-on beta access. Despite being in beta the game runs very well, with only a few minor visual glitches here and there. The game is a bit of a resources hog, but despite that my PC can run it at max with a pretty constant 40 FPS, which I'm expecting to go up upon release when the game is properly optimized.

For the uninitiated, it's a tactical turn-based RPG set in the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse. The original Fallout game was a spiritual successor to the 1988 game Wasteland, and had to become that franchise because of copyright issues due to EA being dickheads (shocking, I know). So if you played the original Fallout games or any of the other tactical RPGs then you're really going to like this game because it really does feel like what those games would become with a fresh coat of paint and some updated mechanics. It's not quite as deep as say X-COM: Enemy Unknown, but for a project that was completely funded by Kickstarter, it's a shining example of what that service can provide.

Oh I also thought I should mention that if you never played the original Fallout series but are interested, GOG.com is giving away Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout: Tactics for free.

I played through Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons last weekend and holy sheet what a brilliant game. It definitely evoked alot of emotion, especially for a game that didnt haven any actual dialogue. I really liked the puzzles and the game looked really beautiful. Probably my game of 2013

Yeah Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is definitely one of my favorite games of the year. Some great set piece moments and well designed puzzles that are neither too easy nor too hard and keep a steady pace. Totally worth the full price of the game despite it's relatively short length.

It was definitely short but I took my time with it and really soaked the games atmosphere in. I liked all the spots that had benches so you could just sit and get a overview of the area. Such breathtaking landscapes.Definitely an amazing piece of gaming right here

Yeah that was my favorite area too, and it was also the part of the game that sold me when I was looking at the pictures on Steam.
