What games are you currently playing?

You get a jungle world, an organic world, a candy world and you return to the Rabbids' lair.

Pretty underwhelming but not too bad i guess, jungle levels are always welcome but what do you mean by an organic world? Also great My picture turned from Uglette to Tily a perfect example of out of the frying pan and into the fire

[Haruka]

Well, by organic world, lets compare with Earthworm Jim's Intestinal Distress level.

I bet there was meant to be a point where Rayman gets swallowed by a giant Rabbid in what should have been Rayman 4 and the organic world in RRR-GBA is said Rabbid's innards.

Worms Revolution is out tomorrow eeeee

[Haruka]

Oh you're right, but I think I'll wait for sales.

I finished today Sonic Adventure DX, which is a remake of the first real 3D Sonic. I played it before about three years ago, but i decided to just pick it up and play it again. I finished all characters stories to unlock the final story with Perfect Chaos. Bigs, Amys and Gammas stories sucked in my opinion, but Sonics, Tails, Knuckles and Super Sonics stories were good.

Its overall pretty awensome game and probably the best Sonic game, at least from the Sonic games i played. The new ones are bad and i dont think im gonna play Generations either.

Dishonored, its actually really awesome. Its very similar to the Thief series, lots of stealth and exploration. It also has elements from Deus Ex, Bioshock and Half Life, worth checking out if you like any of these series or just stealth in general.

I've been playing Beyond Good & Evil HD and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD.

Beyond good and evil is in my top 5 games of all time, its perfection imo! Is this your first time thorugh or have you played it previously?

[Haruka]

It is the second time I playing, but the first time in HD version. I want to get the genuine PC copy one day.

Rayman Jungle Run, I unlocked all Land of the Livid Deads levels, but I didn't get all of the teeth.

[Raven_Guardian]

I'm playing Jak and Daxter the precursor legacy.

[Haruka]

Completed yesterday night Beyond Good and Evil HD at 100%: All the pearls, all the animals, all the MDisks (I also got the one of the Dark Room).

Days ago I completed also at 100%, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door: got all the recipes, star pieces, full tattle log, badges and troubles solved.

PS: Bonetail and Shadow Queen were epic challenges.

I'm currently playing Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD for the first time.

Thanks to my School supplying us with iPads for "educational purposes", I've been getting into iOS games lately. Namely the past month.
- Super Hexagon is one of the best games this year to me, so simplistic yet oh so punishingly brutal and fleshed out, if you happen to get more than 5 seconds on your very first try on this game, you are a god among people.
- I also got Super Crate Box on iOS too, pretty well made actually, despite myself being told that it had horrible controls. Unlocking Canabalt was an absolute bitch, mind.
- Picked up something called CUBES, similar to Hexagon really in the goal is simple - Avoid the cubes, but it's been made in such a way that just like Hexagon too, every second matters.
- ...I also got Russian Dancing Men... And now I can't stop listening to Weebl's catchy tunes...
...Help me. Please.

You should try out Stair Dismount. I'm normally not at all a violent person, but this one is so freaking hilarious that I can't stop 'helping' him down that flight of stairs over and over again... and I just keep cringing every time he makes that lovely noise when he 'dismounts'. Ah... good fun.

I've been playing Halo 4 a lot, mostly today, in which I spent a nice seven hours getting all the daily achievements, and I've got to say, it's fantastic. The new gameplay features, weapons, armour abilities (Promethean Vision for the win), are all brilliant. It's basically the perfect successor in almost every way, except for the following problems I have with it:

1) The maps, while being extremely well put together and well-varied, seem far too specific to the gamemode. Infinity Slayer (normal Slayer) only has a total of 3-4 different maps you can chose from, and Big-Team Infinity Slayer again only has 3-4 maps (Ragnarok included, which is Valhalla from Halo 3). I hope that a map pack will be released in the next few months.

2) The atmosphere and lighting is... disgusting in a way. It's as if someone turned the exposure on their camera alll the way up and layered a yellow filter on top. Take this screenshot comparison of Valhalla and Ragnarok:

In Halo 3, we have our beautiful, crisp and lush style:


In Halo 4, we have this... yeah:



This particular still shot doesn't look that bad, but in action it really does.

I think I know what they were going for, but it did not end up well. It's not just this map that has this problem, t's all of them: every single map looks like a faded, scorched wasteland with far too much bloom and lens-flare. It doesn't help the fact that my eyesight is already bad, now I have to sit just a few feet from my TV so that I can see the other people further than 20-30m away. There is no variation in atmosphere between maps, it's just one yellow-bloomy area after the next.

However, like I said, even though the atmosphere makes my eyes bleed and there's absolutely zero variation, the same cannot be said for the level design, each of which is incredibly unique.
