What are you playing right now?

I'm playing Half Life 2 on an old XBOX.

Ten years behind the times, but this is the most up-to-date game I've played.

Looks inferior to the PC and XBOX 360 versions I've seen on Youtube, but gameplay etc is perfectly OK.

I just started playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and I've been messing around with Disney Infinity 2.0. I have the Avengers playset and enjoy it. I haven't messed around too much with the toy box too much yet.

Kerbal

Working on the Kerbin orbital station (docking, refueling and crew transfers are its main purposes), and also building the first Kerbal interplanetary space cruiser (pretty much a mothership to landers and satellites; she can carry a few of each).

Geeze, I bet...especially considering that the 360 version got graphical upgrades over the PC version (which eventually got ported back into the PC version).

Final Fantasy IX

Tales of Vesperia
Ketsui ~ Kizuna Jigoku Tachi ~ EXTRA
Gundemonium Recollection
Castle Crashers... Trying to play insane mode solo as the Bear.

I've always wanted to try the original Xbox version of HL2, just to see how far it pushes the system's limits. It amazes me that they managed to port HL2 and Doom 3 to a system with a 733MHz Celeron, 64MB of DDR ram, and a Geforce 3/4 hybrid GPU, when those games had trouble running on much beefier PCs with more RAM and faster CPUs and GPUs. Then again, someone did manage to get Doom 3 running on a pair of Voodoo IIs in SLI, which date all the way back to 1997. Of course, they had a fairly decent CPU backing them.

I played both on Xbox.

The compromises made to port the games were... considerable.

Kerbal

Taking a break from building muh station and spaceship in orbit, and have taken to launching drones at asteroids -- seeing the fastest and hardest drone rockets that I can impact them with. It's fun doing intercepts.

Finally beat Bayonetta 2, as well as blowing through season 1 of D4. Now trying to focus on beating Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask

At the very moment, I'm skating through "Ninja Gaiden ∑ 2" on Warrior to get my bearings back on how to play. Interestingly enough, I seem to be picking up a lot more tricks and strategies than I'd ever known about playing the game in the past. I'm thinking to go back and try my hand at Master Ninja again, but I've not played in years, so I know jumping straight into MN would be... far from ideal.

I would normally think to practice on Mentor next, but it's far from representative of the enemy set in MN. Mentor, once you know how to stay in motion, is also no more difficult than Warrior if not easier outside Rachel and Ayane's missions which the enemy sets remain unaltered and representative of MN difficulty... so I can only imagine how pitiful they'll actually play on MN. I may or may not do Mentor next to practice dodging the volleys of rockets.

I also never realized just how important weapon switching was in the past... I always stuck with the dragon sword because it provides the most evasive move set, but it seems each boss has a bane, though a fair few are weakest to the lunar staff(I've not yet encountered a boss that's weak to the Dragon Sword and am on chapter 10), I've ended up finding some are weakest to weapons that make little sense. So, I've been using this time on Warrior to switch weapons out until I find the one that really nicks into the grain of each boss' armor while refraining from using Enma's Fang(useless on MN), or Ninpo(also useless offensively on MN outside defensively providing crucial moments of invulnerability). Also, timed counter attacks toward human sized enemies with the Falcon's Talons... I don't ever see those getting old.

Playing Bayonetta 2 again and beating for the first time Metal Gear Rising.
I didn't knew Rising is such a good game!

I've been playing Ingress (probably too much), for just over a year.

Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.

It is being irritating. Trying to use the annoying character named "???", whose entire reason for existing seems to be to get fantastically crappy items that do absolutely nothing, while having terrible DPS that makes every room take a billion years.

Ugh. The game is absolutely great, but sometimes it does stuff like that, that is super irritating yet doesnt actually add much do the challenge of it.

I was playing a game called Defiance, it was free to download on my PS3 so I figured I'd give it a go and its actually pretty fun....but it had to shut down for updates or something so, I am done for a while I guess.

I am playing a puzzle game called Catherine at the moment. I love almost anything that Atlus does and this game is no exception.
