There've been a lot of great new games recently (Dragon Age: Origins, Borderlands, L4D2, etc.).

Which are you playing now?

Let us know here (one of our FAVORITE forums on the WWW) or on our Twitter handle @WindowsGamer.

Cheers,

OS
Windows 7
I bounce between quite a few depending my mood, but I'd have to say mainly Dragon Age :Origins at the moment.

I would play COD MW2 more but I'm one of the unlucky ones that get hard freezes all the time. It's far worse on Seven than it is on Vista too. It's the only game that it happens to as well.

Let me see.....I'm currently playing the MMO Everquest II which I've been playing for 5 years though I'm getting rather bored with it lately.

Also playing The Last Remnant and Tomb Raider Anniversary and have just bought Dragon Age : Origins so will be installing that later today.

Thanks for the idea, but that app is more beneficial for lower specced machines where resources are an issue. Unfortunately I doubt it will help with mine.

Back on topic, for continued research purposes - I'm also currently playing through:

Red Faction Guerrilla
GTA IV
Star Wars : Force Unleashed (still capped at 30 fps after a patch - :rolleyes: )
NFS Shift
Batman AA

There's also a couple like Arma 2 that I gave up on until some serious patching is done. It's a dog under Vista / Seven.

Dude, Red Faction: Guerrilla rocks!

Havok did a very fine job with it's physics engine. Just unreal.

For me:

- Borderlands
- L4D2
- Red Faction: Guerrilla

I also made the huge mistake of getting MW2 (via Steam). Bad bad game.

Feels just like COD4 and the MP is just atrocious.

Well I bought both Dragaon Age: Origins and Borderlands and right now I'm obsessed with Borderlands. This game just makes you want to play on and on. Great game in single player mode :)

Once I finish round one of Borderlands I'll move on to Dragon Age.

I heard Borderlands was a little 'meh' in SP. I'll have to give this another look.

I just finished Borderlands recently before picking up Dragon Age. It's a good game, but it does start to become repetitive later in the game.

Dragon Age absolutely rocks, but I absolutely loath the long wait times between areas. The game's performance seems to degrade the longer I play it. After an hour or two of playing different areas take a ridiculous amount of time to load and the play becomes choppy. I don't have an explanation for this as my processor and graphics card aren't overloaded or overheating.

I did just get Modern Warfare 2, but haven't cracked it open yet. Some others I continue to play are:

Starcraft (12 years later...still going)
Team Fortress 2
Left4Dead
Batman: Arkham Asylum <-- incredible game!
Plants v.s. Zombies
World of Goo

I want to get L4D2, but I'll wait until I'm through Dragon Age and have tackled MW2.
