Playing Mount and Blade:Warband with Floris mod right now. Originally got it to kill time while waiting for Diablo 3 but it got me addicted to it so it's got a nice secured space on my HDD now.
For those unfamiliar with it, it's like a FPS Total War simulator mixed with sandbox element. You can roam around the fictional world of Calradia (based on medieval civilization) either trading between cities, subdueing bandits, being a bandit yourself, fighting factional war, marrying into nobility, pledging yourself as a vassal to one of the 6 faction kings or form your own faction. I can go on and on about it but it's probably easier for you guys to just watch the youtube or google it up. The combat while clunky at first impression feels good especially when you are riding at high speed and shooting down other riders with your bow or running through folks with your lance.

I finished Bastion and found myself clapping as the credit roll. The game is not without flaws but several characteristics such as atmosphere, music, narrative style, endings, role-play(lol Masseffect3), and gameplay(depending if you like the genre) have made this one of the best game I have ever played. Contrary to most assertions I heard, the gameplay was not "easy as hell" or at least for me. It was pretty slow initially but by the end of the series I felt myself unstoppable with each word Rucks narrates. The moral choices and several choices at the end is quite thought provoking. I wonder why there is still not a thread in this forum about such a fantastic game.

And since I'm talking about story-driven "games"... Since I haven't had much time for anything lately I've picked up Analogue to check out in the little bit of time I did manage to scrape and it's just such an amazing story. It's brutal though, I'll give you that, and no amount of cute 2D girls is going to fix that.

Finished my first playthrough of "Ar Tonelico 3", got Finnel's True ending. So now that just leaves another four or five playthroughs to view the other endings... But overall it was a pretty good experience. It wasnt "great" but it was "good" for sure.
Also about to finish up my first playthrough of "Tales of Vesperia"...after I finish up the side quests before heading off to the final boss battle. I've already put 80hrs into it but every one of those hours were entertaining. I really love the variety of the titles/costumes in this one. Though I feel kinda bad about Karol...I guess you could call it a stroke of bad luck but...I seem to have initiated most of his side quests after acquiring his "Girly" title, hence in all the scenes he's dressed as a girl...orz. Well...its kinda funny. Also started to advance further past the first dungeon in "Hyper Dimension Neptune". I had it sitting aside for two whole weeks while I played "Ar Tonelico" and "Tales of Vesperia". Now that I've progressed further I have to admit that this game isnt as bad as some people were making it out to be...though I cant say that for certainty until I'm actually done with the game. Looking forward to getting "Neptune Mk.II", "Neptune V", (yes, I'm not even done with the first one and I'm already getting the other two. )and "Fate/EXTRA CCC" later on.

Now that I have some free time I picked up the Arma 2 mod DayZ and we're trying to get back to my friends dropped loot to see if it's still there. Downed a couple of Zeds along the way but we're mostly sticking to stealth since this is a pretty brutal game.

Diablo 3 Inferno grind - Didn't live up to the expectation but above average game nevertheless. Was in doubt about whether to purchase because of the DRM but whatever.
Magic AVR drafting - The current block is pretty bad... Just draft enough bombs and win. While swamp sucks in this draft, Homicidal Seclusion/loner/draft greenwhite is way op. Deathwind op. Team Fortress 2 - Revisit once in a while for lulz, good Valve production. The feeling you get when you chainstab with Spy. Enforcer/Deadringer op. Demoman op. Pyro boring and annoying. Lone Survivor/SCP/Other Indies - The atmosphere of these horror game is alright but not brilliant. Mostly sample of stuff before ETRIAN ODYSSEY 4 releasing on July 05. I wish I could preorder but I can't. I keep throwing money at the screen but the game just won't come out faster!Oh god, can't contain the excitement. <3 Etrian Odyssey series.

Persona 3 Portable.
Finally getting myself into the Persona series and I rather do like this installment. Music's good, combat is creative and the socialization concept is pretty fun too.
