I bought Dragon Age: Origins a couple of nights ago. If you guys like the Baldurs Gate or Icewind Dale games, pick this up. Now. (that is, the PC version. The console versions is.. lacking.)

Excellent story and a fantasy world that they actually put some thought behind, and not solving it with "magic".

Dragon Age: Origins FTW. Also, Fallout 3 can get you pretty hooked.

I just got finished downloading it. I've heard only good things about it, and have been greatly anticipating it for a while. It's been a while since I've actually played an RPG with an excellent and original story line, great game play, and one that you won't be done with in two days, heh.

Yeah, apparently Dragon Age is supposed to be the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate. Good stuff.

Sadly, nothing because my PS2 died years ago, and I'm getting tired of my DS. I'm gonna buy a PS3 over the summer. The first game I'll probably be purchasing is Assassin's Creed 2. I heard it's the shit.

Kingdom Hearts and Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. Tried installing Requiem: Memento Mori, but my computer didn't like it.

Watched a friend play 4 hours of Dragon Age: Origins. Went out and bought it on my lunch break the next day.

Dragon Age completed. Disappointing ending. Now I'm rerunning Vampire Bloodlines and in two days I can finally complete Telltales Tales of Monkey Island.

I've been playing Fallout 3 for a very, very long time... I played through on the regular game, then I bought the GOY Edition and had to start a new game at the time... Then played through that... Now I'm pressing to get to level 30 before I tackle Point Lookout.

I've also been hooked on New Super Mario Bros. Wii... Full of Nos.

In the future I may look into Modern Warfare 2, I'm just a bit iffy on it. I'm not a huge fan of FPS that have a thin 1P and focus only on Multiplayer modes.

I got Tenchu: Shadow Assassins but Kim still has the Wii and she's not coming back until tomorrow -_-* I couldn't play Okami while she was gone too because she took the adapter I needed.

My brother also gave me a lend of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, and Kim got me Professor Layton And The Diabolical Box, which is fantastic so far.

I have recently picked up and bested Resident Evil 5, on veteran difficulty, and plan to start soon on professional difficulty while I await the release of MAG.

I'm alternating right now between Modern Warfare 2 and Dungeon Fighter Online.

Also, on the subject of Dragon Age: Origins...

I'm sorry, but I was extremely disappointed with that game. It was about as generic fantasy as generic can fucking be. The battles were repetitive, the classes were imbalanced, the background choices don't really matter - oh, and fucking downloadable content woven into the storyline? Who's fucking idea was that bullshit?

Other than that, it was a great game. I like Claudia Black, and she does the voice acting for Morrigan. Listening to her and the templar dude banter back and forth and constantly cut each other down was pretty funny... until it actually started to become a pain in the ass due to the retarded friendship system where you have to constantly appease your party members by making certain dialogue choices or wasting your money on gifts to keep them happy.

I just want to say that Tenchu: Shadow Assassins is really really really fun, and just awesome, especially when you compare to certain previous Tenchu games. The game play reminds me of Thief: The Dark Project in that you have to pay attention to light and shadow, and while more linear than other Tenchu games (like Wrath Of Heaven, my other favorite) its by far less frustrating, it actually feels soothing to lets say leap out of barrels, snap necks and drag the corpse back in with you. Or my favourite, snapping necks with your thighs of justice.

And if you get caught Rikimaru strips down, huzzah!

Morrowind, the Elder Scrolls 3 (the expansion edition, which includes Bloodmoon and Tribunal) is what I am currently playing the most. I am also working through The Lord Of The Rings- The Third Age, Champions of Norrath, and Pokemon Platinum (yes, I am a Pokemon fan

Got Heavy Rain yesterday. I don't think I've ever played such a dark and depressing, yet emotionally gripping, game before... Highly recommended.
