[Nick of Blades]

1. Team Fortress 2, even though I'm not that good at it.

With the lack of new releases ill be able to scoop up some good steam deals whenever possible like oblivion GOTY edition for eight USD (WHAT!) this summer i plan on playing

1.Champions online
2.Oblivion(seeing how i just bought it for EIGHT DOLLARS!)
3.Like always re visiting the Half Life series and both Team Ico games (SOTC and ICO)
4.Still shopping around for a multiplayer shooter.(any suggestions?)
5.And for new releases gonna scoop up The new Prince of Persia,Alan Wake,Singularity and if i can upgrade my comp maybe Mafia 2.

The Escapist has a pretty healthy community of TF2 players - and I think it's free on Steam right now? I could be wrong, but they definetly made it free recently when they put it on Mac becoming available on Mac. Even if it ain't free, it's worth whatever price they're asking for.

Even if you already have TF2, I had to mention it. An Escapist was bound to, sooner or later.

Personally, I've not been playing many games at all because I've been going out a lot more than I usually do. When I am in the house and my brother isn't watching sports on the TV, I'll be working through Red Dead Redemption.

Let me tell you now, if you want to go for a multiplayer shooter, Red Dead has some decent shooting mechanics, but the community is full of absolute wankers. Especially in free-roam mode...

 

[Girl With One Eye]

1) FF9
2) resistance fall of man
3) dragon age
4) star ocean the last hope
5) fallout 3
6) mw2

 

[scnj]

I shall be playing:

Darksiders - got this recently, it's very good
Far Cry 2 - really need to get around to finishing this
Pokemon HeartGold - can't stop playing, so addictive, NYARGH!
Red Faction Guerrilla - same as Darksiders really, picked up cheap
Split/Second - more a fun distraction between long sessions on other games

 

[Chipperz]

Red Dead Redemption for a few more weeks, then APB is released! When I pick it up exactly relies on if it's free to play or subscription.

Also, Saints Row 2. There's always time for Saints Row 2.

 

[Sneaky-Pie]

I plan on going on my survival horror binge over the summer. I would like to thank the various members of The Escapist for helping me revise this list. Especially LordCuthberton for pointing me in the direction of Hydrophobia.

Anyway, my list:

Silent Hill
Silent Hill 2
Resident Evil Remake
Resident Evil 2
Clocktower
Fatal Frame
Fatal Frame 2
Fatal Frame 3
Condemned
Dead Space
The Suffering
System Shock 2
Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Penumbra
Alone in The Dark (The first one)

List of games to pick up only if found cheap:

Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
Resident Evil: Zero
Clocktower 2
Clocktower 3
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 4
Clive Barker's Undying
Clive Barker's Jericho

Fantastic list. Just in interest of Steam's weekend deal, Metro 2033 is 50% off. I personally haven't played it yet as it's still downloading, but it might be something worth looking into.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

Team Fortress 2, of course.

Maybe a bit of RD:R, but the fun is starting to wane rather fast.

World of Goo.

Plants Vs Zombies.

Playing through Machinarium yet again.

Playing Mass Effect 2 again.

Maybe a little weeny bit of Torchlight on the side.

And I'm going to try again to get into Fallout 1, got it recently, and just couldn't get into it. I'll try again, from what I've heard it's got ALOT of potential, but I'm just not feeling it, I guess.

 

[Draithx]

World of Warcraft
Persona 3
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Baten Kaitos
Prince of Persia
Persona 4
Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2

Any good RPG/Strategy/Horror game I can find for cheap somewhere.

 

[Chancie]

Mine right now have been Resonance of Fate (almost done with this one) and Heavy Rain.

I can't really juggle more than a single game at once, and only two on rare occasions.

 

[ffkiller82]

1 Final Fantasy XII
2 Final fantasy X (I curse getting the sigils)
3 Kingdom hearts 2 (trying to kill sepiroth on proud with only kingdom key no ability's)
4 Oblivion (Its so fun to kill deer)
5 Dark cloud
6 Growlanser 3 (i will get past the crystal mine)

 

[AnAngryMoose]

Alan Wake and Red Dead Redemption will be enough to keep me busy.

EDIT: And finishing ME2.

 

[Nickthequick]

1. L4D2
2. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (Haven't played in a long time)
3. Brutal Legend (Last of the Statues are keeping me busy)

 

[Broady Brio]

1)TES: Oblivion.
2)Fallout 3 (Game of the year edition, if I get the money and decide to buy it.)

 

[SniperWolf427]

I just finished Heavy Rain and Alan Wake the other day. Now I'm working on inFamous, Red Dead Redemption, The God of War Collection, and Dragon Age.

Ah yes, and 'Title Update Six' for Gears of Wars 2 has been the best thing to ever happen to multiplayer shooters.

 

[scoHish]

Ahh summer days...

 

[Obrien Xp]

1) Empire: Total War
2) Napoleon: Total War
3) Guild Wars
4) Medieval II: Total War

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

well i just got the steam bethesda pack...and i just spent 3 hours downloading mods for FO3 and oblivion...so i think im ready to finally play =]


but i've been HOOKED on alpha protocol, honestly i could fucking care less for some of the glitches and the very rare control mess ups, that game has me by the balls, im interested in the story enough, i like how the decisions effect the gameplay in the game, and i love the customization in the guns/armor


i put in...15 hours in the past 3 days on that game alone, im def. lovin it.

so as of right now..


Primary games to beat:

1.alpha protocol
2.fallout 3 with all the mods
3.oblivion with all the mods
4. ff9
5. ff6(if i get to it)

Games i will occasionally play for an awesome break:
1.dragon age (and the expansion)
2. mass effect 2
3. left 4 dead 2


so im pretty set for the summer/some of fall

 

[Yostbeef]

Thanks for the suggestion im pretty burned out on tf2 though but i was thinking of checking out Lead and Gold its supposedly in the same vein as tf2 with a western twist and without the twats from RDR if it fails though i guess is back to tf2 and cs.
