Going through the campaign with a friend in Saints Row 2 on PC has been really fun. More enjoyable than the freeroam mode of GTA4. It's definitely not as polished and I'm not sure how I like the super arcadey driving, although it is closer to the PS2 GTAs.
I like the combat much more and the weird physics frequently lead to hilarious "what?" situations. Plus the character/vehicle customization is better...and everything is a little more ridiculous.
I thought it was a crappy GTA knockoff series until I played it. It even runs decent for being a console port. I'm hoping the new one is better optimized.

Deux Ex: I think I spent about 3 hours just hacking computers/terminals this afternoon
It's a fun mini-game, though it's getting a lot easier now that I maxed stealth.

Going for pacifist/fox achievement on my first play through.
Started out running and gunning but it reminded me too much of MGS4 (too easy to use guns, more fun if you force yourself to sneak), so I restarted.

Getting really into Dead Island now and I'm digging the fuck out of it.

I want to eventually get my hands on Arkham City once I finish my backlog that is:
Finishing up Alan Wake DLC and Dead Space 2 DLC

Gunner - just be careeeeeeeeeeful. word on the street is if your character's gunplay sucks you're still forced into a battle or two that are stoopid hard. doesn't compensate for the way you want to play all the time.

i never got around to playing the og Arkham. just borrowed it from my little brother, he's running through the new 'un. got some shits to do then i'm gonna go try it out. looks delicious.

my dad in new hampshire went out and bought Batman AC, and called me to tell me it's so good that he bought me a copy and it's in the mail. I'm pretty excited about this situation haha

[behndy]

shit. i need to get my parents into gaming.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Your dad sounds like a rad dude, my dad thinks gaming is stupid. He likes guitars though, so there's that.

Anyone else like dwarf fortress? I find it's one of those games I'll play obsessively for a while then put down for something else, then come back and it's like I never left. I'm on a playing obsessively kick right now.

[madmax1012]

my dad's awesome. we went through a phase where we hated eachother, but he's also liked video games, and encouraged my music. he bought me both of my american fender's and my taylor.
