Been playing Arcade Pool(Team 17) on Speed Pool and I love the game. I trying get it under 30 second with 8 Balls pottings as I did it before and at the moment 50 seconds which is not bad. I need lots of practices to get there
 
Currently playing the Bad Blood mission pack for Watchdogs. I'm enjoying the online score challenge for the side missions, that's pretty cool but I don't play properly online.

Only done the first Act so far, only 10 missions so a little short but I guess that's normal for DLC.

Also revisiting an old classic, Test Drive Unlimited which plays great with the Wheel Justin sent me (thanks again bud) but has a nasty traffic bug on fast systems, occasionally you drive into invisible cars lol and they act very erratic!

Really mucks up the challenge missions :(
 
When I get a chance it's FIFA14 and F1 2013. Just installed Warface on the PC. Bought a GTX750 a couple of months ago so I could mess around with Unreal Engine 4. Decided it was tine I actually used it to play a game.
 
Been enjoying the Breaking Point mod for ARMA 3 with a good gaming buddy of mine, it's the equivalent of DayZ mod for ARMA 2 but better.
 
Been playing UFO: Enemy Unknown AGA for a few weeks now.

Doing OK at the moment (Beginner level), but only got 1 fully functioning base. Got 2 more slowly edging towards operational status but it takes a bloody age!
Lost Nigeria's funding to an alien pact and I think China is also leaving as there was a flurry of Alien Infiltration missions there and then I found an alien base.
Took a Blaster Launcher on a terror mission; bad idea as I killed a load of civilians by mistake!
 
At the moment I have been playing Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis on my Amiga 600 and also Wings.........and one of my all time favs on the commodore 64 Batman the movie.....
retro is more fun:D
 
Well I finished Bad Blood... Very nice DLC episode, a little short but most DLC mission packs are. You get 10 extra story missions and a whole bunch of new side missions and jobs although they are quite repetitive they are fun. I enjoyed the story and took a break between chapters to do side missions to build up my skills.

Next game I'm playing on my XB1 is Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition, I missed this one on the last Gen and looks like I missed a fantastic game. I'm really enjoying this one.

The fights were a bit irritating at first but now I've got the hang of it I'm really hooked.

There are a few issues, the camera angles remind me of the early GTA's, really annoying when you are fighting in a tight corner and the driving camera isn't totally free look which is a pain.

However the story is great, I'm really enjoying the side missions :D

This should keep me busy until Far Cry 4 comes out...
 
Just finished The Last of Us Re-mastered and am about 1/3 through Alien:Isolation, that game I can only do in short sessions as the tension really takes it`s toll. Really enjoying the games on the PS4, kind of glad my PS3 died on me lol

Gaming related activity has pretty much ceased since Play Expo; I've not even looked at half of my pickups!
Dislike being ill.
Might start Microcosm at the weekend.
 
I'm yet to play my new retro Games, only Sleeping Dogs which I bought at Play has come out of the box.

I'm looking forward to sitting down with a cold beer Friday or Saturday evening and playing DK64 on my projector setup and maybe a quick blast on my Nes Games Donkey King Classics and New Zealand Story.

I'm saving SFII Turbo (snes) for the match up with Woodcool at the Cheltonian Geek fest!

I really need to play with my C64 (Got an EasyFlash for it recently)

Geez there's not enough time in the day :dry:_>" smilieid="189" class="inlineimg" border="0">
 
Finally completed Zelda on the Game Boy :) Damn this was a hard game, took me months! Had to 'cheat' on a couple of the puzzles, there are a few things I don't understand how anybody could have worked out (dig up a dead chicken and resurrect it so you can fly over a big hole!?) But a brilliant game, up there with the best I've played.

Have just started Mario 64 on my JXD - I love the way it can 'redraw' the 3D graphics at a higher resolution, looks far better than it does on a real N64 :cool:

Geez there's not enough time in the day

I've just moved and now get the train to work, 2 hours to play games every day, luxury! :lol:

While I was on Holiday in Mexico I completed Super Mario World 2 - 6 Golden Coins on my JXD (It was really bright outside so on the sunbed only Gameboy games were playable lol)
 
Still playing Rainbow Islands. Yes, I still keep playing every now and then since 1987. Now I'm playing in my arcade cabinet but I just can't get any further than Darius island. I love this game but after the 7th island is so damn hard.

Just started COD Advanced Warfare, the visualks are amazing! The player models are really very life like, I thought I was watching a Video cut scene at first but it's actually a rendered cinematic! The Game play is taking me a little getting used to, it's all modern with double jumps, jets and boost moves to avoid gunfire, not your usual run n gun anyway.

I'm playing pretty much max settings on my i5 & 7950 and it's super smooth :D

Having a few troubles on my AMD FX 4170/GTX660 machine with this one though, Cut scenes are choppy but game play is fine, medium/high details. Not a big deal as mostly I'll play on the other PC which is my gaming rig.

(Could be a lack of page file size as my SSD is small so I turned it off - the stuttering is during loading and clears up after the game is loaded and the scene continues) Both machines have 8gb by the way so maybe 16gb would make a difference...

Annoyingly I can't find a way to skip cut scenes...
