I downloaded Bully ages ago and got pretty far into it but it crashed when I hadn't saved for several hours, I got mad and never went back to it. I really want to finish it so I'm being really careful this time and making sure I save every morning as Jimmy wakes up so at least if it does crash again I won't have too much ground to recover.

I'm playing through this at the moment as well. How far are you through it?

I'm enjoying it, but I seem to have done a heck of a lot but am only at about 20% completion. It's already getting very repetitive, and I can't see putting the time in to get 100% based on the current pacing. Might just complete the main missions and then give up.

The platforming in Guacamelee is no joke, is it? Nearly had the Vita through the window at one point. Great game though.

I'm up to Chapter 2 in Bully. Last time I played I got as far as Chapter 4 or 5 I forget.

Unreal Tournament 2004. Absolutely love it. FPS multi-player games were so much more fun back then.

Baldur's Gate. Awesome, awesome game.

Unreal Tournament is probably the only PC FPS I've ever really enjoyed playing, Can't play it anymore though as my hands just aren't up to it these days.

I can now play (badly) some racing games again though, as mentioned earlier. They have to be able to run windowed for the alt controller software to work but I'm quite pleased by it so far.

Not too sure about playing anything with too realistic handling though as my mouse control is somewhat erratic at times.

I started playing Splinter Cell Blacklist today and to say I'm gooseberry fool at it would be a massive compliment.
I managed to die about 10 times on the first training section where you just have to sneak past some guards as I can't get the hang of the cover mechanic which added to my natural shitness at shooting (just ask the survivor sunday crew ) meant I kept getting my but kicked.

I chose normal difficulty but I have a feeling it's going to test my meagre gaming skills to the absolute limit .

Mafia II

Playing this after GTA V is probably a bit unfair on it, but what little I have played of it I am enjoying. The camera is hella janky in cramped spaces, though.

Playing through ghost recon future soldier on the PS3. Really rather enjoying it. The stealth is pretty good and the co-ordination in the team is pretty cool. It doesn't feel out of place to go all out assault either, given the bad ass team. This will do me nicely until origins arrives Friday.

Pokemans. Nothing else. Gonna find it hard to tear myself away whenever other things start to come out (Phoenix Wright, Zelda, 3D World).

Mafia II was a pretty good game that was let down by the fact that you can't really do any thing in the open world setting outside of the main story.

Pokémon X.

Ah so it's not such a bad thing I've only gone from main mission to main mission and not bothered looking for other things to do.

I did the prison stage a little earlier. After getting beat up I kind of figured it'd be a glorified tutorial. And so it turned out to be. Shame. How cool would it have been if after moving into the consigliere's "cell" they gave you the task of making the sauces? The game could have taught players how to make various authentic Italian sauces! Kinda left-field, I know, but at least it would have broken up the monotony of going from one fight to the next.

Excellent.

The Witcher 2

Doing all the side quests in Flotsam before I go fight the Kayran. Really, really enjoying it.

I gave up playing Witcher 2 after I got stuck in a riverbed near a troll (?) in the Flotsam woods and couldn't get out.

I know pretty much nothing about Witcher 2. I like Oblivion and Fallout 3 /NV (haven't played Skyrim yet). Will I like this?

Yes. It has differences to those games (isn't as open but has better combat and the story and characters are on par/better), but it's definitely worth checking out.

Kingdom hearts: Final mix - PS3

Only played an hour or so and just got to traverse town but i'm liking it so far, it looks great and seems quite interesting although i've heard that its nigh on impossible to follow the story through the later games

Rayman legends - Wii U

Not so sure about this, i like the main rayman levels but i don't like those murfy levels It looks nice tho and i've done 2 paintings so far so i'll chip away at it every so often

Still playing Dark Souls and loving it. First game I've played for ages where I can't wait to get back to it and don't actually care that I can play for hours without a single trophy as a reward. I have managed to overcome some of the more difficult enemies and have been a little frustrated with the rewards though. The weapon and shield from the Gargoyles weren't as good as my sword and shield I'd levelled up (although the helmet was a little better than what I had) but mega frustrating are the weapons I got from the knights - super-duper damage but require strength 32! Feeling pretty good about my character now, almost like I have a shot against anyone, although expecting to be badly beaten soon - remember this feeling in Demon Souls only to come across some bastard who beat the gooseberry fool out of me without blinking an eye lid.

Yesterday I got stoned and chuckled through the first episode of Jack Howitzer, got a $50 haircut, got a cheeky nosh off a prozzie, towed away a car, kidnapped somebody, and gave 2 armed robbers a lift home. GTA is BACK.
