Mostly just playing Dragon's Dogma now ...

It's quite the game; actually managing to keep me away from Diablo. The more I play, the better the game gets. I restarted last night, since I wanted a fresh start now that I have a better understanding of the game. One thing I can say is that there is no hand-holding here (or maybe I'm just stupid). It took me a long ass time to figure out exactly how the pawn system and everything works. Main problem I have so far is there is no clear indication whether or not your character is strong enough (high enough level) to take on a particular monster. The game can be very punishing if you stumble into the wrong area at the wrong time (especially after sunset). Highly recommended to fans of exploration-driven open-world RPG's and fans of Demon's and Dark Souls. It's not quite a Souls game, but it is certainly feels like one.

Sounds to me like the game is going to upset you most of the time, but excite you on the same level :D

Oh Hell Yeah!!!! Now I am even more pissed that my copy hasn't arrived yet, was due on Friday :(
 
Diablo 3 - Mac
Dragon Dogma - Xbox
Darkness II - Xbox
Tom Clancy's Future Soldier - Xbox

Borderlands GOTY Edition - Xbox

I was sick over the weekend and booked off most of the week, so I managed to finish MW3, Alice: Madness Returns, Kingdoms of Amalur (but still playing) and Sniper Elite V2....

So last night I started playing UFO: Afterlight that I bought for R26 :)
 
Diablo III. I finished Hell last night and went on a shopping spree for Inferno. 600 000 gold didn't cut it. So this weekend I'll be farming for gold.
 
Ninja Blade - got it in an indie bundle. It's ridiculous over-the-top action and typical Japanese-cliche material. Each mission is a frantic blend of action brawler and QTE's and when you finish of off a boss with a combo QTE you see some Japanese symbols freeze frame on the screen before the baddy explodes. The story is Japanese melodrama at its finest, in the opening mission you get betrayed by your sensei... who also happens to be... your Father... dun dun dun
It's nice not to take gaming so seriously :)
