What video/computer game are you currently playing?

I finished Titan Quest with the Immortal Throne expansion a few days ago. They say it's like Diablo 2/3, but I have no idea since I never played them...

Good game, nonetheless.

Playing the Talos Principle. Decent puzzley game in a similar vein to Portal, though less humor and more philosophical mysticism.



Worth picking up on a sale. Also replaying Divinity Original Sin, since I started it and never finished it, and wanted to give it ago again.

Keeping an eye on a sale for Kerbal Space Program and Big Pharma.

Got an Xboxone the other day, and got the Rare Replay pack. Been playing Banjo Kazooie since on it. Despite it's age, they cleaned it up and updated the graphics. In other words, it still looks pretty good. The different controller takes some getting used to though.

I've been playing X-Com: UFO Defense (AKA UFO: Enemy Unknown) from around 1993.

I never played it before and it is pretty fun. A little frustrating at times...but when I sit down to play a game, it has been the one that I load up for the past few weeks.

I plan to play the older X-Com games first and then play the new XCOM game that was released a few years ago.

I was playing some Dynasty Warriors 8 a few weeks back. Finished up all four campaigns (Wei, Wu, Shu & Jin) and got about halfway through the conquest mode. That's a hella fun game.

I can't wait for Fallout 4 to come out, man. I also can't wait to get an xbox one so that I can play Fallout 4 when it does come out.

Xbox one will also be able to have steam mods on it for that game.

I enjoyed the original X-Com, it just eventually gets tiresome when you have like a squad of 9 people, and you are controlling every tiny action point.

New X-com (especially Enemy Within) do quite a bit to streamline things while still being pretty fun and tactical. But it sounds like X-Com 2 is going to even more tactical bells and whistles. I'll pick it up eventually, though not until it's about half price probably.

I'm still playing Talos Principle, and enjoying it.

I suggest a game called Echochrome made for PS3. It's a puzzle game. Here is a trailer.

I read a well thought out review of XCOM: Enemy Within that criticized the simplicity of the battle tactics in comparison to the old X-Com games. I understand his point of view, but I expect that when I play the new one, I'll still enjoy it.

What can suck with the old X-Com is that you are carefully setting your soldiers up, leaving enough action points for them to auto react...and then the aliens send a blaster bomb that takes out several of them. Dead. Done.

I admit it. I just reload.

And when you get done with that Install the Long War Mod and cry some more...

I'm going to treat myself with a new game. Should I go with Kerbal Space Program or Galactic Civilizations 3?

Hm, I'm not sure. Galactic Civ 3 has a discount on Steam right now, and I enjoyed GalCiv 2 quite a bit. Kerbal probably will get a discount sometime again, maybe towards the holiday season. Hm...decisions.

I picked up Kerbal Space Program, since I found a 50% discount. I might also still pick-up GalCiv3...since it is half off too...hm...decisions still.

To that end, I'm finally playing Dark Souls...

I'd like to re-suggest this game. Just finished it, and picked up a DLC expansion with some new story and levels that I look forward to playing. Enjoyed the Talos Principle a lot. It will be a game that I think will stick with me -- one I'll think back to every now again... a la The Secret of Monkey Island, Kentucky Route Zero.
