I don't play as many games anymore, even though they're still my main interest. The few I do still play are smaller games with shorter gameplay sessions, mostly downloadables.

A few I really liked and remember:
World of Goo - Wii
Hydroventure - Wii
Locoroco - ps3
Pixeljunk shooter - ps3
Trial HD - xbox 360
Portal - xbox 360

There are 2 cool demo's on ps3, anybody on this site with a ps3 should really check them out, well under $5.
Linger in Shadows by Plastic <- love this one!
Detuned by farbraush

Only 2 games I'm really looking forward to:
Beyond good and evil 2 - I really hope it will see the light of day.
Half life: episode 3 - I just hope it won't use Kinect!

I love the direction the game industry is heading though, about time to look into new input interfaces. Gotta love Nintendo for the innovation they continue to bring. Interesting how Nintendo pretty much designed every aspect of gaming today (Hardware and software). :)

[EDIT] Oh, for the oldschool crowd: There's a fan made sequel to Kings Quest, free of charge available online: http://www.tsl-game.com/. The textbased original still wins though.

I don't play games these days, just played amiga battle squadron to test my a1200 and see if I was still able to play a shoot 'em up game which I was a big fan of this genre.

Anyway I not saying I won't play games anymore, who knows, maybe I could be addicted once again :)

I'm not planning to actually finish each and every one, though.

Having stopped playing WoW a few months back I have got into playing a few rts and strategy games. But the last week or so I was playing Kings Bounty:The Legend, for some reason I got really into the turn based battle system and trying to plan my army and moves, finally completed it after 40hours, was well worth the budget price, now I am working on the follow up abit but also picked up Heroes of Might and Magic V as it's ment to be similiar.

My consoles havent been doing much since I completed Halo reach and started on crysis 2 which imho is boring and not as impressive as the first pc game. Am looking forward to Gears of War 3, loved the first 2 games and cant wait for more but I tend to wait for the prices to drop or them to get budge re-release to save my cash :P

I really only play old SNES rpg's, like Chrono Trigger and Star Ocean. They're works of art; they just don't make games like those anymore.

@1001 Games:
That's interesting ... are there some games listed there - which you can play online ie. browser? Guess not, but if so
would be interesting to know.

@topic:
Currently I tend to play some casual games on iPad. In addition, this game draws my attention - and I might consider
buying it http://www.frozensynapse.com/ (http://www.frozensynapse.com/). However I need a new PC before I buy it  :skint:

I just saw this, for Shockwave: Dark Tower: the Game (http://uk.games.ign.com/articles/117/1177778p1.html).
I haven't looked into the book yet, but I will.

The only PS3 game I own is Gran Turismo 5, haven't had time to play it much since I bought it ages ago. I modify games and spend a lot of time working on Vagrant Story and Metal Gear Solid (Tactical Espionage Action). Wouldn't call it playing though it's more debugging.

Well, it's ordered chronologically and starting in the 70s (with pong and space invaders).
Of course many of those classic games were adapted for browser-games.
If you want to learn more about it, there's a nice review here (http://www.gamertell.com/technologytell/article/1001-video-games-you-must-play-before-you-die-book-review).

Cool thanks for the links.

Thanks Hellfire - I was just about able to read that description, and it does the game justice ;D

Sort of like an early version of C&C, minus the base building and resource collecting. Hold on a minute...

I'm currently playing Duke Nukem - Forever.

Have previously played the TellTale 'Back To The Future' adventure games. Which are pretty cool.

And before then the new TT Monkey Island series.

New MK still taking up my time, as well as Trouble Witches Neo and Oblivion (getting in shape for Skyrim).

In the next few months, it's going to be all about the Radiant Silvergun as soon as that's released.
