Whatcha playing right now?

LA Noire
I really am loving this game quite a lot, the plot has dragged me in and I do like the way that it's split up into individual cases.. each is a little bite-sized chunk of around 1-2 hours worth of gameplay which is perfect for me because I just can't do epic gaming sessions anymore. The DLC is also well worth it, the two new cases released thus far have both been exceptional.

Duke Nukem Forever
The single player is merely average.. not quite the shit-fest that all the reviews are making it out to be, but still not exactly good either.. but the multiplayer is great fun! Really takes me back to the old Duke3D deathmatching days.. it's great to have a multiplayer FPS again that's just plain chaotic and fun. Fuck I love using pipebombs.

I still like Unreal Tournament for LAN games with non-techie friends. Low specs, air full of bullets, cool head-shot announcements = great for cheap fun.

Child of Eden - fantastic music/rhythm based shooter that you control using the Kinect sensor (ie waving your hands to target enemies, and then pushing your hands like using the Force from Star Wars in order to make all the targeted foes explode). Very immersive and emotionally investing experience.

LA Noire - Crazy violent and thought provoking period crime drama with a dose of Who Wants to be a Millionaire thrown in for good measure. Like naked women? Like mutilation? If you answered yes to both these, than this game will be right up your alley (or a similar alley with a blood trail full of clues leading the way).

UFC Personal Trainer - Very responsive and intuitive alternative to going to the gym to work up a sweat. This Kinect controlled exercise game gives you the option to jump into a series of simple, yet effective activities based inside of the famous Octagon of the Ultimate Fighting Championship branded sport of MMA (mixed martial arts). But you can also go futher into the personalized fitness rabbit hole and select a 30 or 60 day regimen of workouts that are all slightly different each time to add variety and keep you engaged in achieving your goals (fat loss, strength, or endurance). Squats, pushups, curls, stretching, and MMA all rolled into one hell of a workout each day.

just bought a new xbox360 a few weeks ago...so far

L.A Noire: just completed the story mode, really good overall quite impressed with the facial animations.

Mortal Kombat: just completed story mode too... I use to be quite addicted to the arcade, skipping school to go play like, barely reaching the control lol... i'm quite happy with this version, the story line was so so but I didnt expect much, visually the thing is amazing and quite fun replay wise, I now started the 300 challenge tower, its kinda silly at first but it really force you to explore much more of the game, where in the past i'd usually play with the same 3-4 character and wouldn't bother much with the rest. I still havent subscribe to the xbox live gold, but I will soon and get my ass kicked online lol.

other games I got...

Need for Speed : Hot Pursuits... enjoying it so far, quick racing satisfaction
Gears of Wars 2... I just played GOW 1 on pc... expecting a lot from this one
Halo 3... haven't started yet... played 1 and 2 on the old xbox...
Left for Dead 1... I have L4D2 on the pc.. so I felt like trying the original...
Ninja Gaiden 2... haven't unwrapped it yet lol, #1 kicked my ass on the xbox I never finished it
Virtua Fighter 5... played a little so far...
