Currently playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance & Splinter Cell: Double Agent.

Just ordered Gun in the sales, so looking forward to playing that. For a bit of extra life, I've downloaded Mehrunes' Razor for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It was free for a limited time over Christmas. Also thinking of downloading the official expansion Knights of the Nine for Oblivion also.

Other than that still looking forward to Mass Effect & Bioshock later this Spring.

Very Happy

people may think this is sad but I have found an online scrabble forumy type thing , its addictive as hell

http://www.quadplex.com/

Its interesting to see how many points i can get beat by, actually I started pretty well until I ran into some pros who apparently live on the this website via some matrix style plug in (or thats how it seems) .

I was playing Balder's Gate with Drizzt the other night and was really enjoying that.
We got up to the last Boss... my blade doing some extreme damage to her and as she died, so did I.
Now at this point as with the rest of the levels, I'd expected to redo the level, fight her again and this timje, remember to press R2 to give myself some life back.
But no... it seems, Drizzt, at this vital stage in the game, forgot how to work in a team and left my dead body at the top of the tower to be blown up when the tower collapsed, as he walzed through the portal to finish the game.

The bloody cheek of it!! Evil or Very Mad Crying or Very sad Revenge shall be mine.

Hehe... I have the sequel ready and waiting..!! Twisted Evil It's a harder game too!

But, your sacrifice did indeed ensure the safety of Baldur's Gate... Mr. Green

Warhammer : mark of chaos on the pc. Oh yeah.... the opening movie sequence of a fight between the empire and a hoard of Chaos warriors is completely awesome.

Shadow of Rome- Not as good as I was hoping it would be. It's fairly slow and monotonous and you don't really get too far.

Spartan Total Warrior on the other is excellent! Fast moving, again a hack and slash game. Keeps you interested, especially when you get to blast Romans with Ballistas Twisted Evil
There's also an Arena section which kicks ass particularly several rounds in when it's several ranks of centurians and archers versus... you! Excellent game.

Oh and King Leonidas is in it too Smile

And no, Drizzt. I think you'll find twas I who slayed the boss.

Shocked Er... well, you got killed, meaning someone killed you. It wasn't me so it could only have been Eldrith... if she killed you, how'd you kill her? Razz
As the victor of the battle I will freely concede you played a telling role in the final battle - your magic kept her busy while I hacked and slashed away with Twinkle & Icingdeath. Razz

Nice try, but it was one of those moments when each opponent killed the other. We both got low on life and I forgot to press the R2 to regenerate. Had I done so, I'd have lived, but it was still I who killed her.
Just because I died, doesn't mean I didn't kill, also.
