What am I playing... well, given too many choices and lacking the ability to stick with any one game right now to the end, I'm playing lots of things and often not the same game for two days in a row...
For instance, yesterday I played two of my new games, true --Tribes: Vengeance and Lady Sia -- but I also played Lords of the Realm and Raptor... in the past week I've played a bunch of other stuff. Beneath a Steel Sky, Goemon's Great Adventure, Lords of the Realm II, Wizardry VI, XGRA, Quest for Glory IV...
If I had to make a short list however, right now it'd probably be this.
-Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge -- discovered a bit over a week ago that I've had it for eight years and never played it, so I was interested in trying... it's fun. Even if I do have to use graph paper to map everything out.
-Tribes: Vengeance -- New game. Quite good. Jetpacks are fun! It's a great twist on the standard FPS that makes it play very differently... and it's got a pretty good and well told story as well.
-Lady Sia -- GBA platformer (and actually a GBA platformer and not a SNES port!)... heard it was good and it was $10 so I got it. It's fun and was worth the money, I'd say.
-Raptor I have kept going back to over the past month... and I finally, a day or two ago, beat the whole first sector (Bravo Sector) in a new game set on the hardest difficulty setting without saving! Quite tough, and something I'd been stuck on for quite some time, but a great accomplishment... so I saved and now I have to try to get through sector two also without saving. Ouch.
-As for the rest... I have no idea. I mean, I should probably play Baldur's Gate II: ToB and Quest for Glory IV, as they are great and I want to progress in them, but for some reason I haven't... if I had to choose games I should play those would be them. Don't know how much I actually will in the near future however... I'm spending too much time on Wizardry VI and Tribes. :)
