What PC games are you playing?

Just finished Alpha Protocol, was good fun with a stealth and melee character.
Am now deciding if I should start the Witcher again, never managed to get past the first act as I found it very difficult to get into.

DO IT!

It really hots up after Act1, and steadily improves throughout the game and turns in to an amazing experience, with my favourite ending twist ever!

Couldn't agree more. First 2 acts are a bit slow really but it's well worth persevering.

I was the same when i got this game then i left it alone for a year. I picked it up again and stuck with it, gota to be one of the best RPG's i have ever played, such a great game!

I need to buy The Witcher 2 at some point when it becomes super cheap on Steam. :p

So these are games that I have either not downloaded and installed, played at all, or played to a very small degree.

There's also the co-op campaign that I want to finish of Portal 2 but I can't find anyone to play it with me. Some other games that I am also considering is Shogun 2 and The Witcher 2, which I should have on my desk this time next week. There's also a few free-to-play games I am considering such as Tribes: Ascend or Age of Empires Online.

E: Just remembered I also have Battlefield 3 (courtesy of OcUK :D) and Civilization IV.

One thing I have noticed- Both Mass Effect 1 and 2 are greatly improved if you really take your time and do all of the side missions!

Really enjoying ME2 now, even though it is about the 5th/6th time I have played it. I find my self using Zaeed on most missions in this playthrough for some reason
 
Mainly playing modded GTA IV, 42 hours in so far.

Also playing Hack Slash Loot, Defense Grid, and Dark Forces (with DarkXL).

Tonight will be Legends of Grimrock though ;)

M&B Warband is still quite fun, but the repetitiveness is really getting to me at the moment as well as the large amounts of time needed to be invested into the game doing mundane tasks just to reach the end game content.

I've started playing this again too but I've been WAY too aggressive. I now have towns/castles already, and because I refuse a peace agreement, keep getting attacked by my neighbour who I like to loot. I'm rich but still quite a low level - it's only because I'm quite good in battles that I've defeated so many enemy armies even with odds heavily stacked against me! :D

I decided on this playthrough I wanted to form my own Kingdom from the outset and it's really hard to keep tabs on things when I go away on excursions...grr!
 
Looks like at least another week in bed for me, so I have started another mega playthrough of Fallout 2 to go along side the Mass Effect series.

Also started playing a bit of Fifa12 again.
 
Playing Skryim again. Still have a load of quests to complete and have added a load of extra mods including extra lands and the like. Really need to get the main EMB mod working correctly.

I also started playing Tribes:Ascend over the weekend and that is a lot of fun, worth checking out if you're bored of the typical shooters.

Tribes is so good.

I just keep hearing Will Ferrell saying 'I wanna go fast!' in Talladega Nights when I'm playing it :D

Just started playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and its managing to keep me entertained :)

Just keep in mind that it's stupidly easy, even on hard mode, so don't do every side quest you come across or you'll be two-hitting stuff with hammers for the rest of the game. I switched to rogue spec, but it was still far too easy. Also, I really, really didn't care for the side story stuff about the Fae. It was dull, so just take the conversation options to do with the quest and be done with it. If you do want to know the back story of things, speak to one or two people in a new town and leave it there. They all say pretty much the same thing, just in a slightly different way.

A good game overall, though. I could overlook everything else if it wasn't so easy. A difficulty patch would see me playing that game again.
