    I'm curious as to what people are playing now? Still trying to finish off FC2? Blasting away zombies with L4D? Wasting hours of time...I mean thoroughly enjoying Wrath of the Lich King ;)

    And what are people looking forward to? It seem to me there's a blank of decent games coming till April...anyone know otherwise or can suggest one to me?

    I am actually going back and rebeating the HL2 series (HL2, HL2:Ep1&2). I also play COD4 and CSS.

    I'm looking forward to CS2, Valve has mentioned it a few times but nothing major yet.

    I'm awaiting D3 and SC2 as well but SC2 only has a "2009" release date, without even a Quarter projection and D3 doesn't even have that :( Which sucks the balls of monkeys

    D3 is the clicky clicky gameplay a la D1&2. Check out the gameplay footage on their website: http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/

    Edit: I should also mention that the Diablo series is probably the only game in which I've enjoyed the clicky-style interface.

    pc: world of goo, witcher (trying to get back into it after a hiatus), a little sims2... deciding whether to get fallout 3 or L4D tonight.

    360: GTAIV (online only anymore), Forza II, Halo III, Orange Box... back into table tennis like crazy, but can't find any competitors online. I've never lost against anyone if there's anyone out there who wants to have a go.

    I've kinda lapsed in playing anything ATM until I get and assemble my desktop. The 8600M GT with Vista just doesn't satisfy me with the games I got recently and want so badly to play well (Crysis Warhead, Dead Space, Far Cry 2, Red Alert 3), although I do occasionally go back to Mass Effect and Quake 4.

    As for what's coming up - F.E.A.R. 2! That's the excuse for my timing of the new desktop. The engine looks amazing compared with the original.
