Right now, I'm still stuck in Half-Life 2. Been quite busy as of late. Also replaying Call of Duty 2. Can't get enough of the World War 2 action.

Anyway, I will give Half-Life 2: Episode One and Hitman: Blood Money when I have more free time.

Not sure where you are located, but this week Circuit City has HL2Ep1 for $8, and Walmart and others are reportedly price-matching.

I thoroughly enjoyed it ... paid $18 for the pre-order.

Thank you for the info, Txa1265. However, I'm not from America, so can't go there to buy any games. Anyway, I forgot to mention that I got the game already. Just haven't got the time to countinue Half-Life 2 and when I finish the game, then I'll play Half-Life 2: Episode One.

At last! I finished Half Life 2. Took me 3 whole weeks just to finish the darn game. I have future plans to play Heroes of Might and Magic V and Hitman: Blood Money.

Now, I'm playing Half Life 2: Episode One. Looks good and plays well. Just hate to fight those Combine zombies (or Zombine). Saw the way how they are willing commit suicide with a grenade and it kind of worries me. When I saw like 6-10 of them charging at me, I was firing like mad and shouting, "Die, you Jerry bastards!" (I think I've played way too much Call of Duty 2 to remember that shout) Was hoping they don't pop a grenade and start running at me and 'Kablooey!'

PC
Now Playing: Gothic 2 - just got to the add-on area ... this has very much dominated my gaming time.
Now Playing: Neverwinter Nights Infinite Dungeons - good hack-n-slash fun.

PSP
Now Playing:Infected - this game is nuts. I had been watching it on eBay until I could snag it cheap enough. Completely M-rated, over the top inappropriateness (OK, not quite 'Postal' level, but ...), zombies to kill everywhere ... loads of fun so far.

Head-to-Head
Field Commander PSP vs. Advance Wars DS - I got the DS Lite just as I was finishing Field Commander, so I popped in Advance Wars to compare, and the contrast was so stark ... I had been doing the mental comparison based on playing AdvWarsDS last fall, so having it fresh made things much clearer. Put simply, if you have a DS as well as a PSP, Field Commander isn't even worth a rental. And I compare them because ... well, if you play for five minutes you'd know why ...

I'm currently playing some of my older games again, such as NHL 2004, all 3 GTA games for the PS2, BG2+TOB as well as still playing Morrowind and attempting to play Planescape:Torment (its taking a while to get into it, not because its a bad game but because I seem to be having a hard time sticking with any game I own long enough to really get into a good rpg at the moment)

Hope you manage to find new games that will not totally kill your computer, Mr Sir.

Anyway, I'm totally focused on playing Hitman: Blood Money. There are other titles like Heroes of Might and Magic V and Prey's demo but not concentrating on them for now.

I've been playing Titan Quest mostly, which has waylayed my latest Gothic 2 Gold run, just as I was starting dragon hunting as a Paladin. I was also playing Soldier of Fortune 2 and Blade of Darkness again but those also have to wait.

For handhelds, I am mostly playing Tao's Adventure on the DS, which is somewhat analogous to Fate meets Arx Fatalis meets Pokemon, if that makes sense. On the PSP I have to finish Lemmings for review before I can get to Legend of Heroes 2, the sequel to a game that I liked better than I probably should have. It is a cute and charming RPG in the Final Fantasy tradition.

Currently playing MVP Baseball 2005.

I've pretty much just become a sports gamer, although since the last time I posted here I've played Republic Commando, Unreal Championship 2, X-Men Legends, and 007: Everything or Nothing.

@BS...speaking of NFL, who's running the GB NFL pools this year?

Recently stopped playing World of Warcraft so got tons of time to fill out with a computergame. Alas, there is nothing on the market I know off which I'd like to play - so I'm back to some older games:
Call of Duty 2
Knights of the Old Republic II

Gonna restart Neverwinter Nights soon as well I think.

Just finished playing Suikoden I, II and III, and went about a half of Valkirie Profile on PSP.

Can't decide which of my untouched games to play next. FFVII, Romancing Saga, or Dragon Quest VIII.

...I haven't played PC games for more than six months, actually...

Just finished Fable: The Lost Chapters and Call of Duty 2 for the second time. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey is also completed along with Hitman: Blood Money. Now, I'm trying to finish up Half-Life 2: Episode One and going to start playing Tomb Raider: Legends soon.
