Almost done downloading Clear Sky. Looking for mods to fix that buggy mess, I found this "Clear Sky Complete" mod. Any suggestion?

So I'm playing Bioshock 2 right now, and I'm actually quite pleased.
I'd heard all sorts of disparaging things about the sequel, and some of them aren't hard to see. The story is kind of a rambling reversal of the entire Bioshock storyline (creepy female demagog vs. cold authoritarian tyrant) and the game didn't feel fresh at all the moment I fired it up. The first few levels string out the feature addition a little too slowly, which might be why people found it so bland to start.
But once you get into things it really picks up. There's so much more to do it feels like than there was in Bioshock 1. There's more Plasmids and Tonics available early on, collecting ADAM can be a lot more involved if you want it to be, you're working with more weapons and ammo than you were in Bioshock, right from the outset. Research takes much longer and is kind of more fun to do. All in all the game is just meatier than Bioshock was by several orders of magnitude. I suspect it may be a smaller game overall, but it packs way more content into each area. Playing it with all the newbie controls turned off too has made it feel like a real scavenging/survival game, like a S.T.A.L.K.E.R-lite (ok, maybe extremely light.)
It really does feel like a real successor in terms of mechanics, even if the story already feels old by the time your an hour into it. I guess there's people who didn't feel they got enough of Rapture in Bioshock 1, and then there's people who felt like they got plenty.
Playing through this though is making my want Bioshock: Infinite.

PR:A2! Since BI released Arma 2 1.60 multiplayer is great and PR:A2 is one of the best, if not the best, online gaming experience I've ever had! There is nothing better than playing PR:Arma 2 with an organized squad.
Tons of fun and some really awesome WTF moments like beeing in a big building with other players and hearing a truck approaching. Then silence and a moment later someone shouts 'Allahu Akbar' and everything just explodes

I played BFBC2: Vietnam for a few minutes. It is hard to go back to BC2 after playing BF3 as I much prefer the mechanics in it. I only paid $2.49 for it though so even if I only get a few hours out of it it won't be too bad of a deal.
Finished HL2 EP2 again and the ending almost made me cry lol. Most dramatic and perfectly directed game ending I can think of. Also reminded me of how awesome the whole HL series is. (Yes, I'm kind of on a HL trip for the last past few weeks)
Got home and finished Bastion. Really amazing game. Until I saw the credits I did not realize their team was former EA cnc guys, I remember their lead guy was actually really good at Zero hour.
Really good music as well.

Wings of Prey. A nice game, a good mix of realism and arcade. Runs and looks great to.
I just finished the Lair of the Shadow Broker for my other character in ME2. I believe I have mined all of the planets between both of my characters leaving me nothing left to do in the game. I think I have played all of the side quests with both of my characters and played all of the DLC missions.
Also playing ArmA 2 ACE and BF3.

Playing through Deus Ex HR now. Nice game, but the graphics are a bit dated, and I get random stutters or slow downs every now and then. The cover system and physics are not that smooth either.
Overall it is a good game though.

Well there must be something good about APB reloaded cos i can't believe i'd play a 3rd person game at all, let alone for the 287 hours i've put into it over the last month or so.
I finished Deus Ex HR. According to Steam it took me 35 hours to complete. I did explore and try just about everything. Very fun game.
Five hours into The Missing Link DLC as well.

Took me 35 hours to beat Human Revolution on the hardest difficulty as well. But that includes a lot of dying towards the beginning until I realized Inspector Gadget Jensen dies from a couple pistol hits, and some running back and forth selling weapons (didn't want to miss any Praxis kits for lack of dosh). I also combed every part of every level for secrets - I played through DX1 about 5 times and I still see YouTube videos of stuff I've never seen before in that game.
Been playing a lot of TF2 lately, finally making the spy work for me. Really a satisfying class to play if the map gives you a route far enough towards the enemy spawn that you can disguise and start running towards your own spawn, completing the illusion that you're actually an enemy player. I'm a bit annoyed by the weekly cap on item drops, as I generally spend all my game time on one title until I get bored and move on to another for a while.

I took my time. Often times I would find multiple paths and I would walk/crawl through both areas even if I found what I was looking for. I listened to just about every civilian speak. I hacked everything I could even if I had the code to.
