So I downloaded Terraria the other day because it was on sale and played a bit. Kinda boring so far. Maybe the game opens up a bit when you get further into it?

Same feeling. It doesn't have minecraft's balance and sense of scale, even in multiplayer.

I find Terraria to be a lot more fun than Minecraft. And yes, if you stay close to the surface and fear to die and explore, you won't advance in the game much.
You need to delve deep and find good resources, to get better things and etc.
Terraria's focus is less on building magnificent buildings and more on exploration, minning and action\battles.
One of the differences between Minecraft and Terraria, is that Terraria dwarfs Minecraft in respect to content. My guess is that you didn't see much of the game because you were afraid to explore deeper. I was like that as well at first, until I started playing with a friend.

I'm playing Skylanders: Spyro's adventure. Yeah, don't ask- it's a terrible disease by now. I want more figures. I hate myself. Yah, the game is easy as hell. Yah, it's a kid's game. I don't give a crap- I just beat Dark Souls. Get off my lawn.

The technology is pretty cool for this game, you would have thought Nintendo would have gotten this idea first with a new pokemon game. Nintendo is probably looking at this and thinking "holy crap- we really lost a great way to get money from kids or insane adultsman-babies." Next year this is going be how the next pokemon game works. Well, if Nintendo wants to rob you of all your money, that is.

You buy figurines that you need to access the respective monster in the game. You put them on the "portal of power", and the game recognizes what figure you put down. Also, your monster's stats and progress are saved in it's own figure, so if you actually had a friend with the game, you could just take your skylanders to his/her house and not the entire game.

This is the craziest cross-platform game ever. Don't believe me? You can use the same figurines between any of the PS3, Wii, 3DS, XBOX 360, PC, or MAC versions of the game. Holy cow.

This is going to be the hottest toy for 2011 holiday season. I'm calling it. Activision is going to have so much money they won't have any place to store to it in their already huge coffers. Toys R' Us was already out of most of the figures. I got the last Drobot figure, so get bent.

"Hey, we're making a sequel right now! Get your wallets ready!"

Bobby Kotick is laughing at me now and is probably ordering Activision to make a sequel with totally different figurines. Screw my life.

The game could be more like Pokemon or Monster Rancher for my tastes. The game is like gauntlet legends, except you will probably never get your monsterSkylander killed. I would have preferred more of an RPG experience with an awesome world to explore. I really wish it was.

There's no reason they needed to drudge-up Spyro from the grave- you can play the game without ever touching the packed in Spyro figurine. They also made Spyro look ermm- let's just say, "bad."

Except the combat kind of sucks and it doesn't help that you're attacked by slimes like every other second. The enemies were more annoying than challenging.

Yah, the slimes are annoying, but the item you get from them is essential.

I had fun with Terraria until I got all the "major" items. Opps. Guess what game it kinda copies that I still play today?  

I'm still glad they found success though, it's good when any indie game does well.

I would have had more fun with terraria if it had more areas and had taken longer to get the best stuff and it took longer to get more health and more mana. But for all that it is, it's a pretty damn good indie game for relatively cheap.

I dunno about thaaaat

But Terraria is pretty good

Played a bit of Sanctum yesterday. It was the most fun I'd had with a tower defense game.

Just bought Left 4 Dead 2 and Bioshock (Steam Sale!), so I'll prolly be getting some of that going on as well.

What? You don't want indie games to do well? Well, I see how it is.

@Trevor: soon there'll be nearly 1000 different Pokémon. At this point they just can't go Skylanders on the series. By the way, what a rip-off of a game I'd get the 3DS version if it didn't need those expensive toys.

Kotick is conditioning little kids to buy overpriced DLC.

It's the future 

[Manuel Magalhães]

I think Call Of Duty is a cool series, and I don't mind with "some" paid DLC. But 15$ for a level pack? I don't think so, Mr.Kotick.

Chess on facebook. I've put Chess off for a couple of years and have gotten a bit rusty, so I'm now trying to shape up by playing several games at once.

[Shakhal]

I right now, i'm playing 3 "games":

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Diablo 2 (i couldn't resist )
IGF Pirate Kart 2012 (playing random )

[pajamashirt]

fuhh, i've been buying too many games lately. right now, i've been playing:

gemini rue-- been enjoying this a lot. the way they did the tutorials/teach you the game is really cool.

deathsmiles-- i haven't played too many shooters though i'm really getting into them. i can't say i like the aesthetic but the game itself is just too much fun

dark souls-- still and prolly for a while. i wish combat placed a bit more emphasis on controlling space. as it is, the cornerstone of all combat strategy is circle strafing. overall the game is amazing though

I miss the days when most games (well PC games) still had proper expansion packs. They were cheaper too, compared to the price of all the DLC for your average AAA game combined.

[Gimym JIMBERT]

yep But at that time you only had one texture per 3D model and they looked like DS games. You didn't need all these gritty decals and all those ambient object you can't interact with.

I mean unchartred 3 is 8h and is compare with zelda skyward sword which is 40 H at least. One of them have only one texture per model ...
