Finally decided to try this as I'm still looking for some decent game to play during my ever-decreasing gaming time.

Not too shabby, but was a bit disappointed that the career mode didn't have some main storyline that kind of pulled all the individual missions together.

But the point of this thread - what the hell is out there right now that is worth spending some time on?

I just got the 360 Tiger Woods game throug gamefly, and that was a major disappointment - a game that has fewer features than the regular xbox version. And to open up much of the game (6 WHOLE COURSES!), you've got to toil through a 72 hole qualifying tourney that is worthy of replacing the dictionary's definition of tedious.

Also tried Full Auto for the 360. Redundant, but not bad for a 15 minute to 1 hour distraction.

And from what I've been reading, Black wasn't all it was initially cracked up to be, so that will definitely only be a rental.

At least March looks promising in terms of what's on the way. Until then, I think the block game dmmh posted will occupy most of my time. That and a return to geometry wars evolved.

What are the rest of you playing or looking forward to right now?

I'm playing COD2 at the moment, and I like it, but I need somehting else too, so I'm thinking of getting Star Wars: Empire at War. It's got some mixed reviews, but it seems like it's a decent game.

March does indeed look promising with LotR: Battle for Middle Earth II, HL2 Episode 1 and Galactic Civilizations II.

q4. I guess I'm gonna try Battle For Middle Earth 2, but I dont have high hopes for it. Other than that, games suck.

Actually, I've also been playing Dawn of War. Theyre making another xpack.

Incidentally, so have I. Winter Assault was good, looking forward to the new one.

i love full auto. been a while since a more than decent arcade racer with a twist was around.
it can be annoying on Live though since there will be people who'll fuck up the game by driving in the wrong direction et al

and im playing Might&Magic6 again to hold me over till Oblivion gets here \m/
