Busy jamming the Secret World MMO Beta ... it's a pretty sick game. I'm not a fan of the zombie genre, but this is pretty slick.
 
Anyway, playing some GTAIV ...

No matter what I did, or how hard I tried, I could never, ever get into this. It just lacked something that the previous 5 (including PSP games) had. Also, I hated the car handling in 4.

Started Dungeon Village (iOS) today - I'm pretty much a fan of any Kairosoft title now.
 
Well for the PS3 I had a good gaming month. Having decided a while ago to NOT buy anything at release date anymore (only to kick myself later when prices half...and half again...but Bioshock Infinite will be an exception), I buy preplayed only, or when I find good specials. Not to talk money but the following list cost me around R1000 this month. Great! The price of 1-and-a-half new games scored me (....wait...counting... 6) SIX games this month. That'll keep me busy for a while...

So, in June in managed to pick up (and start playing by putting down Dark Souls):

*Dirt 3:
Was sceptical at first as "2" was not to my liking. But I dig "3". Lotsa fun!

* Ninja Gaiden 3:
Jeesh, it's been a while since I've regretted dishing out R200 (not even full price...thank God!!!) for a game, that blows this much!! I loved NG2 though (on Xbox with limbs flying!). But 3 is just a tad too over the top in terms of the action (an 8-year old may enjoy it) and with a a broken camera and glitchy character movement, the least played of my "new" titles.

*The Darkness 2:
Again, I loved the first and being able to pick this up for R150 makes it even sweeter. Oh, and the game ROCKS!!!! "Jackie......."

Then, the following I picked up over the weekend:

*RAGE
Well I knew going into it it received mixed reviews. Graphically it is beyond stellar (really!) but it reminds a lot of another game, also listed here.

*Borderlands (GOTY)
At Last (!!) I got Borderlands!! And, was surprised to see that it supports splitscreen campaign...so the wife is also happy...Borderlands is awesome!

*Silent Hill: HD Collection (Silent Hill 2 & 3)
Another one that has mixed reviews, but being a fan of the franchise, and the two games included here being the only ones I've missed out on, I finally picked it up. Started with "2" yesterday. It's looking inviting (if silent hill is your bag)

Finished Walking Dead - Episode 2. - Story is getting good, it was far more gruesome and intense than the first episode and the choices were harder to make. Now I am seriously psyched for the next one!

and the usual suspects playing are DayZ, arma and Civ 5 (gods & kings expansion)
I still am undecided on getting Secret World, think gonna skip as gws2 is around the corner.
 
Question: anyone tried running Diablo III on a 2011 Macbook Pro with an integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card? I'm hearing mixed reports so I'm a little weary of forking over more than 500 bucks for something that isn't going to run or is going to look like shiz.

Im running D3 on a 2011 Macbook Pro but mine has a Radeon HD 6770m SD GPU. I can run it at Max spec without my FPS dropping below 25 FPS.
 
I take it yours is a 15/17" Macbook Pro? Alas the 13"-ers got stuck with the Intel P.O.S.

Yep I have the 15" one. Just had a look at the 13"'s specs to confirm. What is the highest res you have tried running it at? or are you looking for feedback before you get D3?

Looking at feedback before getting it :) I've googled and gotten such mixed reports...everything from "it runs perfectly on max settings as long as you switch off shadows" to "it doesn't work at all." So I'm a bit weary of forking over the cash for it just yet.

I'll have a new gaming PC by month-end, though, so I may as well just wait until then. If I get it now and can't play it I'll be a lot more sad than if I'm just patient :D

Pop into TK and we will ask Spooner he has it on a regular white Macbook and he said it runs fine.
