What are you playing?

Picked up the latest COD game, however I don't know how much I will be playing as I am trying to bank some fly time and money in Elite: Dangerous.

Broke the seal on Half Life 2 for the 360 and was starting a game of that; Halo the master chief collection arrived this morning for the XBox One but I'm not going to open my Xbox One until Dragon Age 3 arrives at the end of the month... exciting times ;-)
 
PC (new): Elite: Dangerous
PC (older): Bioshock
PC (retro!): The 7th Guest

Amiga: Pinball Fantasies, Lemmings, Test Drive II & Putty Squad

Spectrum: Jet Set Willy, Lunar Jetman
 
I've just started playing Earthbound on the SNES. Usually rare/expensive games are crap games that were obscure for a reason, but this is really very good. It's a shame it didn't get a bigger/earlier release as it could have been a massive game. Definitely worth checking out.
 
GTA V on my PS4

Only watched the into Video for Far Cry 4 so far, need to find some time to play that :D
 
Football Manager 15(Just out Today!) on Mini Ipad and now I can watched 2D Match just like they were on PC :)

Bit Pricey to buy thought!
 
Just waiting for Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor to finish downloading, then I will be playing that next.

Have been playing Alien insurrection, Wolfenstein: New order and Grid Autosport lately, but have loads of other recent games waiting to be played.. Wasteland 2, Injustice, F1 2014, Watchdogs, and Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition.. and loads more.
 
I finally completed Quake 2 on Mr. Sardine's P233MMX on the weekend and started playing Heretic last night :thumbsup:

Strange, I can't really get into modern PC gaming but love these old games :lol:

I played through Quake II a while back on my A1200 PPC (with GREX/Voodoo)

Managed to finish the game, the first time since I played on my P200MMX with Voodoo II back in the day, it was like reliving the exact same experience!

I first played QII on the same system, before I got my Voodoo in Software rendering at 320x240 LOLZ

Once I got the Voodoo II I was like wow, 640x480 on my 15in screen, this is the high life.

Also brought games like Unreal to life :)

I really must play Unreal again soon! Maybe install that on my Laptop next time I go away. I usually install an old ish game for the evenings with a cold beer once Mrs Fitz has gone to sleep, I played Far Cry 1 on my list trip and Doom 3 the trip before.

(I have an ASUS N10J) It's a Netbook with NVidia Mobile GFX Card. It's a little old now but plays the slightly older games well (think Quake III engine Games) and right up to COD Modern Warfare 1 in low details.

Nice! I completely forgot about Unreal lol. I loaded it up this evening and looks great on the dual Voodoo 2 SLi's but there is a bit of slowdown when there's a lot going on in the screen so I might end up dropping the resolution 1024x768 or some of the detail. Shame I can't have the old LAN parties like I did back in the day without a PC in each of the 4 rooms, a load of CAT 5 cabling joined up to a hub, pizza and most importantly beer. It was fantastic playing with your mates up until the early hours of the morning.... especially when they realised you were cheating and they ended up ganging up on you lol :thumbsup:
 
Unreal runs fine on a current PC with Windows 7, but obviously looks fairly dated these days. Take a look here for a guide on how to install and then patch it with hires textures to make to look much better. Well worth it, and better than playing it on an old Voodoo II. http://www.dosgamers.com/windows95-98/win95-games/unreal

You can obviously still run Quake 2 on current hardware too, but again the same site details getting more from the game.

Many older games suffer from a lack of support for widescreen and higher resolution monitors.. it's worth exploring the patches and community mods for each to check if something exists to fix this.
 
I got rid of my PS4 last month as I was not enjoying it as much as I had hoped and bought a WiiU Mario Kart 8 set, picked up ZombiU with it as well and have not looked back since. I can`t express enough how much fun the whole WiiU experience is and as my sole console it is providing me with hours of fun, online play is a breeze and the OS is fantastic, shame that the Japanese version only has Japanese mode but it is a good way to study more :) Mario Kart 8 has got to be the best game I have played in years, the graphics are just incredible and the gameplay is so tight and perfect. Getting a WiiU has made gaming a truly fun experience and one that even my wife now enjoys, if anyone one else is on WiiU and Mario Kart you can find me at: kekeandtiti
 
Currently I am playing:
Dirt 3, Tomb Raider (most recent version), Skyrim (expansions), Dawn of War 2, XCom (expansions), developing my own games.

Elite Dangerous would be on this list but it does not run on main system due to incompetent programming in its crappy launcher application. I raised a support ticket last November about this problem (during the gamma release). Since then I have only had 3 messages all of which have basically accused me of trying to cheat with some 3rd party data stealing application. I was a kickstarter on this project. Wish I had not bothered and saved my money.

Still playing 'The Crew' and GTAV Online on my PS4

Just grabbed Saints Row 3 and IV from Humble Bundle as they're on special this weekend with all DLC's, we have them on PS3/360 respectively but I was keen to try the PC versions and I've not played them yet (they're Mrs Fitz's Games)

Rocking Saints Row 3 on PC, SLI triple screen! It looks and plays awesome!
 
I'm quite keen to play Saints Row 3 - just picked it up for peanuts - amazing how cheap games are now once they become a couple of years old. Currently working through Just Cause 2 on the PS3 also - what a massive game - not sure if I will see this through to the end to be totally honest - good fun though.
 
Playing FM 2015...Helping Barnsley 7TH in League at moments with No Moneys to spend and grab 2 good important loans players for whole season! I hoping to get play off but it isn't easy task!
 
PCwise, deep into Elite Dangerous and dabbling in Star Citizen, Drifter and Take On Mars. Amigawise, sprinklings of Chaos Engine with large portions of Colonization and Birds Of Prey. :)
