Playing WAR, SAcred 2 and the Witcher Enhanced Edition.

I can see WAR being a longer term commitment than any MMO I've played before. The PvP scenarios remind me of Guildwars alliance battles which remain some of the most fun multiplayer experiences I've ever had. And the world is so far an interesting setting to bekilling things in.

Sacred 2 is, well, interesting. Never played the first one so I can't compare. So far I'm finding it a pretty and competent aRPG in the Diablo/TQ/DS mould, nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't feel at all ground breaking. There seems to be a serious memory leak in the unpatched game that makes it crash after about an hour. I'll patch up a little later because my cap is dead for the month, although a friend of mine complains that the patched version now crashes every 15 minutes. But she is sailing pretty close to the minimum spec line so that could be making problems worse.

Voice acting in the NPCs is horrible, but the writing is quite funny. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, which was a surprise.

The Witcher though is another story. I've never played a game like this. I tried the demo and was pretty impressed, although it was flawed. When I heard about the Enhanced Edition I decided to wait to pick it up. And I am so glad that I waited, and that I picked it up.

It's so good to play an interesting single player RPG that tries to do something new. I haven't got very far yet, but combat is visceral and engaging, the improved voice overs make for interesting characters, the game looks good and runs smooth on my less than cutting edge system (unlike Sacred 2) and any more and I will sound like I'm gushing.

If you are thinking about The Witcher, go get it now. It is an adult, mature and entertaining RPG experience.

I've patched my game, and not had a single crash so far. I might just be lucky, but perhaps there's some other issue causing the problem for your pal. Neither patch has corrected the exceedingly annoying control scheme bug that resets my custom key config every time I exit the game, though.

Otherwise, been playing lots and lots of Gears of War. Two play throughs in two days last week, on top of lots of multiplayer slicin' and dicin'.

[EDIT] Lulz, Sacred 2 just crashed.

**** Azi, you'd do well in the WCG if they had Gears.

I'm busy replaying Fable 1 in anticipation. Also the odd bit of Boom Blox here and there.
Getting Psychonauts delivered this week, and Conker: Live and Reloaded next week. They will complete me.

Hmmm, wasn't there a Xbox version of this?

Edit: Oh yes there was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conker:...e_.26_Reloaded I had this on Xbox but didn't like it very much, the multiplayer was awesome though.

What are you playing this on?

I picked up everybody's golf today 2nd hand. I think it's fun, but i'm still learning. Jeann d'arc is still eating my time though. Stopped playing crisis core. Letting my bro have a go at it now.

I got deBlob yesterday. Not quite the masterpiece I expected, but still a heck of a lot of fun. The way that the colours that you use add to the music is incredible.

Just bought Beyond Good and Evil the other day at a Cash Converters. Finished it on the weekend. Actually really enjoyed it as a light hearted adventure game.
