The console has really gotten to me lately, i haven't touched my gaming PC in weeks now. I guess one of the reasons is the easy use of consoles, just put a game in and play and although i am really a pc gamer, i just am so used to using a keyboard and a mouse and have a hard time using a controller, i am still having a lot of fun.
So what have i been playing lately?
Brutal Legend (X360), Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3), Onechanbara Bikini Zombie Slayers (Wii), The House of the Dead Overkill (Wii), The House of the Dead 2&3 Return (Wii), Halo 3 ODST (X360), Rockband (X360), Guitar Hero 5 (X360), Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3), Wii Sports (Wii).
Some games i have coming in: Borderlands (X360), Ghost Squad (Wii), Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Wii).

Console time
Lately i have been playing quite a bit on my consoles and kind of ignored my PC.
Shadow Complex on the Xbox360, actually a lot of fun, as far as i know it's only available on the Xbox marketplace, but it's definatly worth it. It reminds me a lot of the old sidescrolling games and it really surprised me. I really recommend this game.
inFamous on the PS3, finally got around to playing it, had it laying around since it came out, but never got to it. Definatly my favorite type of game (open world/sandbox like game) and sure is a lot of fun, goes right in with some of my other favorites like Saints Row (1&2), Crackdown. So if you like these type of games, go for it.
I also got the urge to play Crackdown again, after reading about Crackdown 2. Still haven't finished it, but after all this time it is still fun.
Zombie Apocalypse for Xbox360, I only tried the demo, was kind of fun, only a bit annoyed by the fact that once a zombie manages to grab you, there's nothing you can do to (try) break free (as far as i know from playing the demo, unless i missed something). Other than that it does what it says shoot as many zombies as you can, so a fun little time waster :)
I did manage to get a little PC time with Prototype, it came out around the same time as inFamous, but my preference went to inFamous, so until now i never got around to try it, i got it on D2D. Somehow i think Prototype doesn't like my PC very much as it doesn't run very well, eventhough i have a pretty high end rig... It definatly doesn't run under my 3840x1024 screen resolution and can't be changed in any way, normally you can mess around a bit with the settings in some files but this game has those files coded...
Kind of dissapointing but it doesn't look like a bad game, maybe it will run better on a console, but on PC.....
So on to my major dissapointment... WET (on PS3), when i saw Bethesda was publishing this game i figured it had to be a good game, or atleast fun, but i really can't understand Bethesda for actually endorsing this game and publishing it, for me this game put a dent in Bethesda's reputation, so far i could pick up a Bethesda game and be pretty sure i would enjoy it (for me Bethesda was like Bioware), but this "game" definatly changed that..
From now on i will definatly wait for reviews to see what the game is like and/or try the demo before buying a Bethesda game. Right now i am "done" with this game and don't know if i'll ever pick it up again, i can't really recommend this game, really a waste of money, maybe if you find it for a few bucks/euros, but definatly not for full price.
I have to give it to them though, they managed to be the first game to have me through my controller across the room, no game has managed that so far (achievement earned).

MMO burnout ?
Just realised i haven't been posting much on my blog lately.
Not that i've not been playing, those who follow me on Twitter/GamerDNA/Raptr probably saw me game quite a lot.
But when it comes to MMO's, well since Tabula Rasa went down i haven't played them much.
I adventured around a little bit in some of the MMO's i still have a sub for, like my (SOE) Station Access and lifetime sub for LOTRO, also been doing a bit of Beta (like Free Realms and...).
But most of my gaming was done on the PS2, PS3 and Xbox360.
I did finally give in and got a PS3, although i am still dissapointed in the fact that i can't play any PS2 games on it, i still like the PS3.
But my favourite is probably still the Xbox 360, don't know, probably because i feel everything works better or maybe i just like the way the Xbox 360 works better.
Anyway what have i been playing?
Well on the PS2 i have been playing Persona 3 and i have Persona 4 laying around for when i finish Persona 3, also tried to play Everquest Online Adventures but unfortianatly all PAL servers have been taking down and only countries with NTSC can still play this MMO.
On the PS3 i've been playing Killzone 2, Resident Evil 5 (still stuck in the first level, can't beat the big guy), Pain (loved this game, never thought one could have so much fun with a ragdoll physics based game), Siren: Blood Curse and i have Heavenly Sword still laying around to be played.
On the Xbox 360 i've been playing: Saints Row (finally picked it up again), Guitar Hero World Tour, Fable 2 (totally got into this game, great), Peggle, Bully Scholarship Edition and i decided to get Saints Row 2 after playing it mostly on the PC, still think Saints Row is a lot more fun than GTA4, also got the new DLC for it, which i guess is a bit dissapointing but does give a couple of very cool new rides and a new homie you can call straight from the start.
On the PC i have not been playing much the last few weeks but i did start playing Silent Hunter 3, some Fallout 3 and i have a couple of new games waiting to be played, like Zeno Clash and the new Fallout 3 DLC.
But i will probably be playing Saints Row 2 and Fable 2 for a while as i am totally loving these games, i especially like the open world/sandbox feeling in Saints Row 2, i guess this comes as close to an MMO feeling as possible while playing a single player game.
I even bought the strategy guide for Saints Row 2 (although i haven't used it yet, only browsed through it), i usually don't buy strategy guides and when i do it usually means i like the game a lot and want to try to get everything possible out of it.
So after all this console (and mostly single player) gaming i am beginning to wonder if i am burned out on MMO's, some of the upcoming MMO's that i was really excited for don't seem that exciting anymore.
I guess only time will tell, for now i am having lots of fun playing Saints Row 2 and Fable 2.
