Bastion.  Wow, what a fun game.  Great hack and slash action, with a strong story.

Read a review after you posted. Sounds interesting.

Most fun I've had since Mass Effect 2.

I'm torn between buying Bastion and Space Pirates & Zombies.

Played some of the Bastion demo. Kinda cool.

Bastion is great.  Played some more.  It's a superb hacky-slashy dungeon crawler, with great music and art direction.  I am, unfortunately, not unbiased.  If you distrusted my rave review of Mass Effect 2, you should distrust my review of this.

In the words of my official wife(TM), it is "ossum like a dead possum."

Any new City Builder on the horizon?  I'm having an itch to play something as cool as Pharaoh, or Emperor, or SimCity when they first came out.

Not really, sadly.
But I'm still enjoying Anno 1404, which is close enough for me.

I was playing Company of Heroes, but out of the blue the game decided I didn't have the CD in.  I was playing it on Steam!  It didn't have a CD!  Lousy son of a bitch.

While I like Champions Online a lot better this time around (they've added Millennium City as starting area instead of having you jump around between desert and Canada missions like at launch), I haven't progressed very far into the game yet, because I can't really decide what character to play.

In comics I always preffered characters like Punisher, who was basically a normal person with some badass soldier/spec ops training. Or Batman who is badass because of training and gadgets, and much of the same counts for his classic enemies (Joker, Riddler, Penguin etc.). Or Iron Man, who built his suit to gain superpowers. So my characters go usually into that direction instead of being able to cast magic spells, use telepathy, shoot lighning/ice/fire from their hands, have inate flying ability etc. (Though I did love X-Men comics back when.)

I guess I have two mains right now:

LVC-68:



A gunslinging robot with rocket boots for quicktravel. Freeform class, and I give him pistol/shotgun skills, plus some android enhancements (e.g. targeting computer).


Redneck Samurai:



In the wake of a hurricane, looters killed everyone in the trailer park where Billy Ray Compton lived. He went on a vision quest and became a follower of bushido. He's also freeform and learns all things dual blades and warrior code.


Then there's two alts I keep switching back to:


Redeemer:



Soldier archetype, i.e. focusing on automatic weapons. Basically a Punisher ripoff in camouflage.Travels by use of grappling hook (i.e. swinging around like Spidey).


Huntress



An alien huntress (duh), predator inspired. Fights with one handed blade and blaster gun.


In between I keep toying with other characters (e.g. power armor, big two handed weapons, brawlers, archers, and a few other powers.
