I play videogames more or less every day, and I'd guess that a lot of others on this forum do too, so what are you playing at the moment, and what are your thoughts on it? I figure this belongs in Forum Games as it'll probably turn out along the lines of 'What are you listening to right now?'.

Today I have been playing the Golf on Wii Sports quite obsessively. During the 9 hole game, one slip up inevitably ruins your final score, and you always finish feeling like you could have done it slightly better, and have time for one more go.

I've been playing 24 to take a break from the Wii. It's actually rather decent when you fiddle with the controls a bit.

trying to finish bioshock - but it's boring me tbh. I just want to get to the ending.

[Cerb]

Are you rushing through it?

[English]

I too am trying to get to the end of Bioshock but like amp says it gets a little boring, especially with the little ammunition on offer.

And I agree with dark, since getting the Wii two days ago I have been obsessed. I have played at least for a day non-stop because I played Bowling, Boxing, Golf etc...from 12AM till 12PM two days running, I managed to prize myself from it. My favourite game is Bowling and am on PRO Level, Golf is really hard, like dark says, one slip and you slice the ball..

Still playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Man, I can't get enough of it.

The Longest Journey. I'm just starting again, as I've only just got it back from my brother after a couple of months. He gave me back a heap of games that he borrowed, but some others that I think he presumed were mine, so once I've finished this I'm going to try out Worms Armageddon and SimCity 3000

@Amp and Guitarist - agreed, I played Bioshock for a while but stopped months ago and have had no will to continue since.

I am now. The wonder of Rapture worked, well.... 'wonders' for the first couple of hours of the game, but I am getting terribly frustrated with the missions, which constitute little less than "go fetch items because anonymous radio message tells u"

Really? I loved all the detail in Bioshock, but then again, I;m one of those obsessive-compulsive freaks who demands 100% completion, only I never actually achieve it.

Currently playing TF:2, shock-horror.

ATM, I'm partway through Final Fantasy X and XII, 24 the game, Jak 3 and Canis Canem Edit.

[BadassCyborg3000]

Halfway through FFVI, playing Advance Wars: Days of Ruin in arcade mode, Morrowind, and Tekken 5: Dark Resurection.

I take it your in Point Prometheus (sp?) or Apollo Square? I started to get bored around that point too my first playthrough. Keep playing it regardless, then play it a second time. But this time really pay attention to your surroundings so you can find the hidden rooms with the other audio diaries. That's another thing listen to the audio diaries (I mean stop and hold the weapon or plasmid button so that nothing but the audio diary can be heard). A lot of the story is told through those. I was the same way first time  just wanted to get it done and see what happens.

@Guitarist: Take the time to explore the optional areas and search everything you can. You'll have more money and ammo than you'll know what to do with.

ATM: I'm playing through Bioshock, Black, Mafia, and GTA: LCS

I'm at Fort Frolick (spelling?) The audio diaries....meh, they're an ok addition, like you said, they add detail. But they are still other people's stories, and not my own.

[HenryHill]

I love bioshock. I understand where you're coming from, amp. I think they wore on a bit as you had to collect all the seemingly frivolous things. I really loved the game, the gameplay was amazing and the story, while slow, was really well done. Its one of those things that i look at and go "damn, i wish i wrote that!"

Anyway, if you're at the part of bioshock i am...

Where you have to dress up as a big daddy

Then i agree with your statement of it becoming boring. It gets better toward the end and climaxes quite well though!

That's when the game starts to get really creepy. Sander Cohen's fucking nuts. It's quite spooky when you go into the winery in Point Poseidin (sp?):

I'm playing Fallout 2 every once in a while. And some times TF2, but it's so jaggy that it would annoy me to tears if I didn't have so much fun.

Maybe I should erase my file and play from scratch. I did that with GTS:SA.

Oblivion. I had to uninstall Stalker to play it
