What Games are you playing right now?

Just started on Mirrors Edge

So far it seems ok, I usually go for the free games with Gold each month :)

I installed it and had a look. Wasn't what I was expecting, so I haven't played it much. I also grab a lot of the free Games with Gold games. You can always just uninstall them if you don't like them. Once installed though they are yours to keep and reinstall latter if you want another go at them. Some I grab so my grand kids have something to play and keep them busy. My XBOX has the 1TB drive so I'm good for space for a while.
I don't usually buy a game for my XBOX that I already have for my PC but the price was right for Dishonored, and it was extra cash for payment for fixing a PC. Dishonored is one of the best games I have ever played and I'm looking forward to playing Dishonored 2 when its released. I've already decided I'm going to get the XBOX version, which was another reason I wanted to play the original over again, but this time on my XBOX. I should be well used to using the game controller by then. Buying Halo a second time, I had no choice. I started playing it on my PC but to actually finish the whole series I had to move to XBOX. Not all the games are ported over to PC. It wasn't the sole reason for buying an XBOX but it was a contributing factor. I had been wanting one for a while. I just opted for the Master Chief Collection.

Still on my list of items to get, Xbox One, I am getting a nice collection of games for it now all ready for when i buy one :)

Dishonored looks good, just been having a look at some vids on youtube, think that is for the 360 also, so will have a look in local shop, 360 second hand games can be got very cheaply now

Not been following games much recently, dont play much during the summer time, but would like a nice long free roaming game to get into, Skyrim, Oblivion, Dragon Quest type of thing

There is a whole Backward Compatible (XBOX 360) section in the XBOX Store under Games that will play on the XBOX One. Mirrors Edge is listed as a 360 game and I can play it on my XBOX One. This my first XBOX, I never had a 360.

My personal favorites are FPS games like Wolfenstein, Halo, Medal of Honor, Dishonored. One thing I really like about Dishonored is the different ways you can play it. You can go stealth or shot everything that moves. And different routes to your destination. It can be a slightly different game every time you play it. Sewers or rooftops etc. Or duck and hide behind objects in the streets. I like games where you can set your own pace.

Thats how i like them also :)

Halo is one of my all time favourites, it was the first game i played on the original xbox, spent a lot of time with Halo

- there's a few combo moves in recore, that look as though they might be easier to do via the xbox controller
- I do need to get some serious practice in..

PS: I read that recore has links with Super Metroid,
so that means I will need to seriously concentrate..
