There is SO much gaming goodness right now

Guild Wars 2 is awesome.
Torchlight 2 is awesome (I just got it and have an Engineer)

Borderlands 2 looks like it will be awesome, but I already have all of my time taken up by the other two.
Then there's Dark Souls for the PC, which I also haven't even gotten around to getting yet.

What's your gaming goodness favorite right now?

Once my brain cells are over-worked, I dumb down, then work them again. I think it keeps me sane.

*so awesome*

It took eight years to come out, but so far the wait was totally worth it. It's really amazing, and that's not even factoring in that it is a free fan mod (I'm about two hours into it).

Anybody who likes that Half-Life series should definitely give this a try. It's free, all you need to run it is to own any game that uses the Source engine.

Before I was interrupted by Black Mesa I was playing New Vegas and replaying No One Lives Forever.

I got annoyed by the second one because I got stuck at this part where there was this ridiculous jumping puzzle (and they annoy the hell out of me) and try as I might, I got too frustrated trying to stack the barrels and gave up. Probably now, after playing a lot of MMO's with jumping puzzles, it would likely be easy as pie

I'm playing Borderlands 2 right now....but Assasin's Creed, Hitman Absolution, Dishonored, Sly Cooper.....gah!

I bought farcry 2 for 5 bucks and haven't played yet....and the 3rd is coming out.

I also have been playing Vita....and have a bunch of PSP RPG games I havent touched yet.....plus I still wanna play Little Big Planet Vita, Disagea and Sound Shapes.

And then there is the Splinter Cell steam package I bought.

And I've only just touched Terraria.

And the humble bundle...only played Limbo and Braid....still got the rest left.

Jesus, and I still have a game in Gal Civ 2, and Disciples 2 on the go...

Too.....much....gaming.....

Torchlight 2 vs. Borderlands 2 was a serious quandry. Both games kick ass, and I'm playing GW2, on top of it. I don't have enough time for all the bounty.

They DEFINITELY leveled up with it!

The play feels the same, but the story is better, the characters are more interesting, and there are MANY upgrades to the gameplay. (falling a distance doesn't hurt anymore, auto-pickups, etc.)

Have you done LoL yet?

(link update)

It's safe, free, online, and no one can buy game-critical stuff to have an 'edge'. It's the hero feature from WC3, only there's no building, just fighting battles royale with heros and minions. Each game runs about 45 minutes.

Aside from BL2, it's my current time-killer.

Try it sometime.
