360 Fanboy asks, what are you playing?

by Richard Mitchell on Aug 28th 2006 9:30AM

Here at Xbox 360 Fanboy, we get so caught up in news about games that haven't even come out yet, we sometimes forget about all the games that are available right now. So, just as a change of pace, what's everyone playing right now?

Currently spinning in my 360: Dead Rising, Prey, and the F.E.A.R. demo (you can read about that last one later today). On arcade, lots of Pac-Man (fiancées love it!), UNO (still the number one choice for Joystiq/Fanboy editorial meetings), and Street Fighter II (36 wins, 29 losses, thank you very much).

That's what I'm rockin'. How about you?

Having lots of fun on GRAW, clan matches is really what keeps me playing for the competive edge. Dead Rising got too repetitive and Saint's Row is going to keep me busy.

XBLA is going to be Texas Hold'Em...it's so much fun to take your friends money...so far I'm 296,210 in the hole!

Tell me how you're playing F.E.A.R!? Let me guess...it's on the OXM demo disc O.O

Bullet Witch(just got it 2 hours ago), Oblivion, and PGR3. PACMAN!!! and Texas Hold 'em, man I totally sucked at that game. Seems like Atari is handling the Bullet Witch NTSC-J versions. Not sure when you will get your copy released stateside.

I been playing Dead Rising non-stop since it came out. I have 45/50 achievements. :)

Madden! It's almost football season and I just can't get enough, the game could be better but its good enough to give me my football fix until the season starts.

I got Madden last week along with the rest of the civilized world but its been collecting dust because of a game that didnt cost me a dime Texas Hold 'em I just got out of a million dollar debt last nigth at 1:41 in the morning. I've been playing a decent amount of Oblivion but it seems this week Saints Row is going to be the new time suck 4 me this week.

Currently a bit bored...

Finished Kameo, Condemned, most of Burnout:Revenge, Amped3, Cloning Clyde and I've pretty much gotten totally bored of all the arcade titles 'cos they're all retro which i don't greatly like. Will sit down to try to get some points out of PDZ, in the meantime I'm playing around with the Lost Planet Demo (still) and a bit of Just Cause, with some N3 demo thrown in for the hell of it. Alot of gametime has recently gone into 1-upmanship in HexicHD modes, man that's competitive stuff.

Might look into getting N3, Saints Row but definitely psyched about Enchanted Arms... reminds me of FF7 for some reason ;)

Well...Madden and Texas Hold'em are taking up the bulk of my time, but we sat up a 10 week nascar style points racing season for PGR3 to take us through to Forza 2 and that's made that game MUCH more fun than it's ever been.

Texas Hold'Em! this fun "free" game been taking up alot of my time, even took me away from dead rising :o

Madden and NCAA 07, Texas Hold'em and Gun. Just completed Prey single player, that multiplayer was bad.

GRAW online co-op, 20+hrs/week.

I think it's going to be like this until Splinter Cell and Mass Effect come out.

Playing LOTR:BFME II (rental) and NCAA '07. Plus some Texas Hold'em and Cloning Clyde (my son's favorite).

Anybody else see a patch come up for NCAA '07? Any idea on what it fixes?

Right now I've been playing a lot of Quake 4 online. It's a totally under-rated game on the 360. On top of that I've been enjoying some Chromehounads, and more recently Dead Rising.

Madden 07
Oblivion
Geometry Wars

...I don't have time for anything else.

Beat Prey over the weekend, was renting it for a week. Playing Dead Rising, Oblivion (can't get enough), Just Cause Demo, Guitar Hero (PS2), Tales of Arcadia (PS2), Castelvania whatever (DS)and waiting patiently for next week's release of the first J-RPG on Xbox360, Enchantment Arms.

F.E.A.R demo as well (on OXM disc).

Chromehounds, despite it's thousands of flaws

Texas hold 'em cause it's very relxaing and great to hang out in.

Dead rising in small bursts. I still haven't beaten sniper Carlito.

I've gotten in two games of Mdden in a week. Everything from the menus to the game are just too broken for me to get into it. NFL 2K5 was more next-gen.

If anyone here still needs a squad for Chromehounds look me up. Puh Fifer

Oblivion and Texas Hold 'Em. Looking forward to Splinter Cell and NHL '07.

Table Tennis......... Lu Ping baby!!!!

Aw, hell. I completely forgot about other systems (this is 360 Fanboy after all).

On DS I *finally* picked up Advance Wars DS. I recently played through Eternal Darkness again, too. One more play through and I'll get the "real" ending.

When I get more time (and courage) I'm going to go through the original Silent Hill as well. I've never gotten the good ending before.

Let's start off by saying "Nothing in the 10 days" only because my second 360 is DEAD and I'm waiting for the Cardboard Coffin to arrive this morning!! But as for the post Dead Rising, Chrome Hounds and PREY (Three AWSOME Games). I WILL be playing Madden,EnchantArms, N3 and Saints Row when I get the system back!! Can't wait!!!

My 360 has been pretty dry in terms of gaming, lately. I've been playing a bit of LOTR here and there, some PGR but that's it.

I've also been putting a lot of time into Texas Hold Em (Though, looking at my bankroll of -50,000 I'm obviously not getting any better).

I just got done with Fight Night Round 3 (for the achievement points) and have been battling to the tenth of a second on Marble Blast Ultra with my friend in Japan. It gets harder to top each others score after a few weeks. Suprisingly I haven't even touched Dead Rising, with the touchy save system its not easy for me to pick up and play for a few minutes.

Madden 07, Texas Hold'em and SAINTS ROW. Saints has been a blast to play so far. Haven't gotten far into the main story yet but from what I've played it definately is a blast.

I've been going between Dead Rising, Oblivion and Dead or Alive 4. On the XBLA front, lots of SFII, Uno and Texas Hold 'Em.

Playing: Texas Hold'em, TDU Demo 2, Table Tennis, COD....when I can.

Currently finishing LOTR BFME II and then boosting my points in Full Auto. I'm gonna play Saints Row this Friday and Dead Rising the week after.

I'm playing nothing on my XBox 360 because it's dead. :( Suddenly started getting 3 red lights. My repair box is on its way.

I'm kind of random at this point.

There's still plenty for me to do on Condemned, Burnout, Full Auto, Quake 4, PDZ, Tiger Woods 06, etc. But I've just not been in the mood.

I've been playing XLBA more lately just to take a break from the serious games.

Otherwise, I've been trying to get to my Original Xbox games I've purchased since they're cheap. Like "The Suffering", Star Wars KOTOR, Tenchu, Splinter Cell 1/2, and some others.

Not to mention there's still a couple of Gamecube and PS2 games I have to get through as well.

This week is going to be expensive; Enchant Arms and Xenosaga III (PS2). $100 in RPGs. LOL.

Saints Row, Madden 07, Ncaa 07, Texas Hold 'em

currently playing texas holdem. Prior to that, I was playing pdz, but Got bored of it like 2 months ago. So basically my 360 has been inactive just until last week. (oh wait, I rented dead rising and beat it)

Saints row is coming out and im going to buy that. Normally I wouldent buy it, but theres just no games for the 360 and I want to play something and saints row looks pretty fun (after playing the demo)

Trying to get Madden down so I can score all you suckas! Also revived Hitman for a while, trying to get all of the achievements under my belt.

nothing untill mass effect comes out. plus im still waiting to get my 360 back. if i had it i would be playing KOTOR, Fable, DOOM3(again since i only played thro once). Oblivion is just anoying and pdz gets dull fast.

Chromehounds and Over G Fighters, both on rent from Gamefly. Both great games.

Still getting through Oblivion (love it!), N3, KOTOR II: Sith Lords, Dead Rising, Pac-Man (trying to get perfect achievement), Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Magnetica, Uno, Call of Duty 2, man, way too much jumping betwen games.... But those are in the current que.

Just finished Tomb Raider and King Kong (I needed to match my friends achievements...). My regular titles are GRAW/Texas Hold'em for online and Dead Rising/LotR:BFME single player.

That keeps me PLENTY busy right now.

Dead Rising and Saint's Row.

Im just finishing Fight Night Round 3. I have been playing alot of ncaa and madden. And every now and then i play call of duty 2 online for fun.

I'm still playing the "send my 360 to the factory to get replaced game". This will be my fourth 360 everyone.

Dead Rising and Dead or Alive 4 nonstop.

The Outfit, Texas Hold 'Em, Geometry Wars

Without a doubt, Dead Rising is the game I'm playing most at the moment. It's consumed my days for the last two weeks. Even if you complete the story line, there's a lot of side missions or achievements to gain, so there's plenty of replay. This is easily the best game I've purchased to date.

On the arcade side, I'm still playing UNO. It never gets old and it's great for a quick diversion. The camera adds a whole new aspect to the gameplay.

I'm also playing a little Pac-Man and Galaga for nostalgia.

Lastly, I've been trying to get into Ninty Nine Nights, but I'm somewhat frustrated when I make it all the way to the end, die, and have to start the level all over again. I'm determined to reach certain achievements though.

Tomorrow I'm looking forward to Saints Row. And I'll probably pickup Lumines Live

I'm ashamed to say i'm still addicted to the ageing Pro Evo 5's quite brilliant master league. BUT, i do play Prey when i can find the energy to take out the Pro Evo disc. Arcade wise, i play a lot of Pac-Man and Bejeweled 2, well, my girlfriend plays the latter, to my utter disbelief!

Dead Rising has been keeping me busy. Been playing Rumble Roses as well, with some Texas Holdem tossed in

Im playing madden right now but enjoy call of duty 2 online even though its kinda old. i also play GRAW or table tennis sometimes. I m hoping to get either dead rising or splinter cell when it comes out

Still playing Oblivion...just can't put it down. Wanting another download though seems like it's been awhile.

Oblivion (still), NBA 2K6 (league play), COD2 (multiplayer) and Texas Hold'Em. SW:BF2 plays/looks great on the 360.
Slowly working thru GR:AW campaign. Just picked up Kameo for $20.

I'm playing a whole lot of "3 blinking red lights". great game...the big payoff is finding out whether or not the replacement I end up getting will have the same problem or not...stay tuned!

I've been playing Oblivion (recently picked it back up. Finishing off Mage's Guild and Dark Brotherhood before finishing the main quest), PDZ multiplayer, COD2 single player (military shooters aren't normally my thing, so it took a while to get around to playing this) and a smattering of Live Arcade titles.

I'm looking forward to getting Condemned back so that I can finish collecting all the stuff/getting the achievements I didn't get when I played through it. Also, I'll be picking up Dead Rising this week and I'm stoked for Time Pilot, which I loved on my Coleco Vision back in the day.

On my DS, I've been playing the original Final Fantasy. New SMB will probably get a workout when I take a trans-continental flight to Boston at the end of the week.

When I get back from vacation, I think I'll tackle Beyond Good and Evil on the Xbox.

I don't know what you all are bitching about... There are some great games out on the market Here's what I currently own and am playing. Madden '07 every chance I get. Currently 4-0
GRAW - awesome game
Hitman - just picked this one up. I'm on the 2nd stage.
MotoGP - photorealistic game! The extreme modes are my favorite but this game is remarkable.
Dead Rising - I picked this one up on release and it is loads of fun.
Fight Night Round 3 - I beat this one a few months ago but I still break it out after a hard day at the office. This game is a keeper!
Tomb Raider Legend - Great game. I just beat it a few weeks ago but I am going to play through it again to try to earn more achievements.
Call of Duty 2 - My favorite FPS
Saints Row demo - this game is great. I am going to pick this one up on payday.
Halo 2 - Classic

Dead Rising and Texas Hold'em/Galaga
