Beorn and I are running through Sonic and the Black Knight for the Wii. Beorn loves Sonic, so he's happy.

...just get me to where I'm not killed every 10 seconds or so.

I finished Dead Space, and I plan to start Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat.

After a great many people babbling semi-coherently about how wonderful it is, I've begun Portal. Unlike Fallout 3, it's not a huge disappointment. It's actually better than it sounded, though it's beginning to test me now.

Great game, I occasionally go back and replay it, since it only takes about 2 hours (once you know the puzzles).

Yeah, it's not very long is it? I just finished it. Took me about eight hours. It was great fun though.

I've been playing Sacred 2 on and off for a couple of weeks. Due to some crash issues it was frustrating to play at first, but it's all good now.

I had Sacred 2 the other month.

I've heard very mixed opinions. Some of my friends love it, and some really really hate it.

What was your take, Loremaster?

I had it for a week and returned it. Very average.

I'm playing Persona 4 at the moment, which is pretty fun, even if it is quite similar to Persona 3. Then, after I take that back tomorrow, I'll be playing Resident Evil 4.

I'm playing Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. A perfect blend of 3D and 2D GTA, with some new stuff added in (and they are, gasp, improvements). The drug trafficking part is highly addictive. Reminds me of a space sim where you're moving cargo from planet to planet.

I slacked off on Mother 3, but I'm very near completing it. And, of course, I've been playing Team Fortress 2 and other Steam/Valve games for years and probably will never quit.

I agree. It's not spectacular, and the crash issues just furthered the frustration, but there's no other 4-player-co-op-Diablo-like game on the 360; so despite its shortcomings, I still like it.

Playing Streets of Rage 2 with my brother co-op on the 360.

Just like the old days, down the pinball parlor...

heh-heh....I remember there was a Play Choice-10 game in the back room at the gas station/convenience store outside our subdivision in North Carolina...had a pool table, jukebox, 4 arcade games and a pinball machine in that room. Rush'N'Attack with my little brother. Sometimes we'd "play with Mace"..meaning, we'd TRY to get the other one killed. Why "mace", not "malice"? Because....isn't a mace pretty malicious?

Maybe not Diablo-like, but if you enjoy 4 player co-op hack-n-slash, try Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

Hmm...I didn't like Marvel Ultimate Alliance at all. I found Sacred 2 much more interesting for me.

I found Ultimate Alliance to be ok, but nothing special. It didn't compel me to keep playing. The only reason I stuck with it for a few hours was because I was playing it with a friend and we'd both had our share of tequila and cider. That helped.

The hack-n-slash was alright, but for me the story really killed it.

I think there's a reason people have a poor image of comic books. They aren't exactly great writing, you know.

I'll have to try Sacred sometime if its better.
