Gamers, what are you playing these days?

I'll pick it up and give it a bash.

A friend of mine recommended Sniper Elite - Nazi Zombies, and I picked it up in the sale without looking at the system spec, won't run on XP. I really need to get a new OS!

It got TERRIBLE scores on some of the review sites, although, it looks like something I might enjoy.

EDIT: Ahhh, what the heck, for $5, I'm downloading it now...
 
Played through the newest Bioshock game recently and thought it was awesome. I was worried it wouldn't be that good since the second one was pretty meh, but it ended up surprising me quite nicely. Great story, awesome support character, and some brilliant new game play mechanics I've never experienced before. It's a must buy if you can find it for around $40.
 
Ive been replaying some GTAIV in anticipation of GTAV.

Been doing that, too. TBH, I can't stand the game these days. The missions are so frustrating if you lose them the first time around because restarting them takes forever. First you have to restart the mission, then you almost always have to drive somewhere to pick up something, then you have to drive to the target, then you have to do then real bit of the mission (which is where you should restart instead), and then you often have to escape or chase someone down, etc... It's just really frustrating to play through unless you're acing everything the first time around.

YOURE DOING IT WRONG!

Taxis. Yeah, GTA4 was a lot of drive here, do this, drive there, do that, run from the cops, return. I use taxis to avoid all that damned driving.
Ive been mostly playing the expansion packs though, as the missions are more entertaining, especially The Ballad of Gay Tony (which has way cool weaponry).
GTA5 looks awesome, and it seems the missions are more centered around various bank heists.

Use taxis. Still not quick enough for this ADHD kid :p (don't actually have it, but I'm still impatient lol).

I've heard the expansion packs are better than the original game. Actually thought about picking them up for $20 at Target. Worth it?

At this point, probably not. Since GTA5 will be released in about 6 weeks I would just wait it out.
