What Game are You Presenly Playing?

I've taken a break from Oblivion and its addons for a little change of pace. (Gasp! Don't faint, guys!!!! LOL!)

After getting used to the changes that were made between the first Flat Out and Flat Out 2, I've gone back and started afresh. I'm now racing via FPV -- that is, through the windshield view -- and really enjoying it again. I've been so much of a Third Person View player that I'm finally, FINALLY, getting the hang of FPV playing after changing views in Oblivion so much.

Anyway, one of my most recent races in Flat Out 2 was a real bump and grind race just almost right up to the finish. If you haven't gotten this game, I really recommend it. It won't break the budget at all! And, there's plenty of fun to be had in all the little neat stunt events. Bowling, Darts, Soccer, Baseball, to name a few.

Here's an instant replay of that bump n grind race I just mentioned:

Bump n Grind to First Place

NOTE: If the movie doesn't automatically stream, just right click the link and choose Save Target As.

It's been captured using FRAPS at full size, 30 FPS. Should look pretty good.

Team Fortress Classic, pretty much it, just got the new Zelda for Wii so I'll finally have something to play. Still recovering from quitting WoW a number of months ago.

Guild Wars, NHL06, and C&C 3. I've also been playing some multiplayer STALKER and Halo.

Just finished Call of Juarez and Rainbow 6 Vegas. Both excellent games, especially CoJ.

I've been trying to get back into Pro Evolution Soccer 6. It's hard though, knowing so much has been taken out of the 360 version.

Civilization IV and Warlords expansion. This is the most fun I've had playing a game in a loooong time. I never really liked Civ 3, so was playing Civ 2 with various mods and scenarious until I got Civ 4.

Multiplayer is finally polished nicely, no more year-long PBEM games. Civ 4 was built for multiplayer from the ground up, and runs on fairly old hardware, so almost anyone with a computer from the past 5 years can run it to some degree. New expansion getting released this summer, I'm excited.

Asides from that, I ran through KotOR 1 again. I was going to do KotOR 2, but figured I'd wait for the Team Gizka restoration patch to get released.

I picked up NWN Diamond for $20 a few months ago, installed it yesterday, and started today, seems alright for a hack-n-slash, nothing like Baldur's Gate or Planescape: Torment, more like IWD, but it should keep me occupied for a while.

Also been playing some multiplayer UT2k4 with friends. Up until last September, I was on dial-up, then at school, the firewall's stop me from running servers to the outside. I'm enjoying my connection now, and my ability to have some larger games without lugging my computer to other people's houses.

I find it handy that I don't have any real desire for recent games, so I can run all of my games cranked to their highest settings with my modest hardware.

Resident Evil 4. When you get use to the slow paced it's really enjoyable game.
