Traded my extra copy of Frozen Synapse for Renegade Ops (plus a few other stuff) a while back. It's fun as. The graphics are beautiful, gameplay simple (yet challenging), controls easy to get used to, and best of all it runs as smooth as anything (which I didn't expect at all).
I usually don't play games with cars, machine guns, mortars and huge explosions, but this one pretty much gives me my fix in the best way possible.

Not much gaming for me as of late, just good old Zone mode on Wipeout HD.

Just finished Bastion.
Oh my god that story. If there was any game which blooms through it's story, it's Bastion. And the greatest thing is that if it were in a movie it would suck, the very fact that you're playing it makes it a million times better.
Everybody who hasn't got it buy it now and finish it.

I'm playing my second favorite SNES game ever, Super Castlevania IV! Amazing soundtrack, graphics, level design is fun and well thought out, bosses are a challenge, it's just good old-fashioned FUN.

Finally felt like digging out Fallout: New Vegas after about a half of a year, of it gathering dust.

I was playing Pilotwings on the SNES, but I've started Deus Ex: Human Revolution now.

Mixed feelings.
The plot is good, I like the multiple choice dialogues, but I can't really say if it's the best because it's the first game I've tried like this. Graphics are a little dated, you can easily get lost, and optimisation on PC is horrible: I can't run it on anything above low without it stuttering badly. The stuttering also occurs when the game loads an area you're walking into, and I could feel that my computer was under a lot of stress. From the little I've tried of the augmentations, they're okay. The gameplay itself, which borrows elements of GOW, RE4 and MGS, actually works quite well.
My impression overall was that this game was alright and enjoyable, but not an excellent game. I'll see what I think of it when I finish the game (I'm 5 hours in).

Just picked up Kingdom Hearts 3D a few days ago. So far, it's pretty damn good.

I have a backlog of games I need to finish on my PSP, DS, Wii and PS2 >_> But I'm currently playing through Tales of Eternia on the PSP.
Sucks because I want to buy the Wii-U, means more games I'll never finish

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom. The story is pretty funny, I mean it's no Mario & Luigi RPG but there are some nice rhyming puns and whatnot.
But obviously the best bit is the puzzles. I initially got it because someone recommended it to me as a game similar to Braid, but to be honest it's not so much of a time-manipulation game as it is a "clone yourself" game. You still do need to think time-wise though.
I also started a New Game Plus in Bastion. It's funny how I can kill just about all of the early enemies in one hit, only Scumbags take two.
