Currently consumed (again) by "XCOM," specifically the new "Enemy Within" expansion. Love the setting, the mechanics (turn-based, squad management/strategy), and the art style. Doesn't hurt that getting in and out of the game is fast and painless -- quick load and save times with save-anywhere features -- which is a good thing when gaming time is often dependent upon the the daily level of wife aggro.
Also recently went back to the Sims 3 -- not too concerned with how that makes me look to all the tough young gamer kids, but I love the time sink, and all the little interactions with objects and characters in game. The "Into the Future" expansion also has a prominent spot on my wish list to Santa. (I really haven't been naughty this year... much.)
I'll occasionally run around Marvel Heroes Online as well when my buddies want to socialize and chat. It's not my favorite game, but Diablo III dressed up in Marvel superhero tights is fun enough as a clickfest while shooting the poop with my buddies who live far away. Been through *lots* of MMO worlds with those guys, and this is as good as they want it for the moment, so that's fine by me. Now if someone would just develop my dream MMO, a Wild-West sandbox styled after "Deadlands" with magic, steampunk and six-shooters duking it out side-by-side, I could permanently plug myself into my computer and not come out until retirement age.
just got through weeks of playing the hellouta Deus Ex: Human Revolution. no clue why but the story and setting just entirely sucked me in. i spose deep inside i hope the Singularity hits before i die. but since i honestly think that's just techno mythology, im stuck with pretending in games like this
I recently played Deus Ex Directors Cut too, its a great rpg fps. They announced the sequel and have given a concept art for it so far. It will have a new protagonist and they said they are looking for a new actor for him who will also do the motion capture, and needs to be Japanese.
Also since your into Deus Ex you should watch this new TV series called Almost Human.
i'll check out Almost Human, thanks.
have you seen the youtube series H+ pretty nice little experimental series.
