Quest for Glory 1 EGA - it's been a good number of years since I did a run through of the original EGA version of the game so trying to remember all the commands and getting use to the so-so combat in this version has been fun.
I got a bunch of games installed, but starting them and then leaving them halfways to be picked up later has turned into my modus operandi of playing games.

Medal of Honor: I'm liking the campaign but can't seem able to play it for too long. I've heard the campaign is short but at the pace I'm going it's starting to feel long. Multiplayer is a humiliating experience in feeling hopelessly inadequate.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Playing the single player campaign of the base game. Just found the paladin character and stopped playing it the minute i felt the plot start to get a bit confusing. Will get back to it eventually, it didn't really seem that hard. My companions do most of the killing almost automatically.

Elven Legacy: Part of the difficulty of the game is that your units gain experience and you take them with you to the next missions in the campaign, so when one of them dies, especially if he had a lot of experience, you feel tempted to reload the whole mission instead of moving on with what you've got.

Unreal Tournament 3: I like to play quick matches with bots and got stuck on a campaign mission where my teammates are morons who keep getting in a leviathan and getting it stuck on a rock. I'm waiting for it to go on sale (hopefully this summer) so i can fetch it for my brother and a friend and we can play multiplayer, instead of having me die alone repeatedly to random strangers on dedicated servers. Still have to figure out port forwarding and such to create a listen server.

Defense Grid the Awakening: Not finding Tower Defense that much fun. Maybe it has a bit of too much staring at the screen and letting my towers have a go, but I haven't gotten that deep into it.

Starcraft 2: Play it often with a friend, we're laddering on the bronze league, even though we've had the game since release but never bothered with ladder until just recently.

Spellforce, Order of Dawn: Stopped playing it suddenly to be picked up again later. Finding it somewhat average but entertaining enough to keep me busy.

HoMM3, Sacrifice and Rome Total War are installed but still untouched. Too much on the plate already.
RollerCoaster Tycoon- Playing through various scenarios in-between different bouts of other games. So relaxing.

Populous: The Beginning - It's quite a bit tougher than I remember it being. You won't hear me complaining though. I like a good challenge. Still love the mini-globe approach and the way that the transformable game environment is handled strongly reminds me of Magic Carpet.

Nox - Just started playing it tonight for the first time, and I'm really liking despite the fact that customization practically only exists in the limited choice amount of gear I can wear right now. It's funny that I actually prefer playing it in its lowest available resolution - squinting at my screen is never fun.

Just finished The Witcher 2. I enjoyed it enormously and, at least for now, consider it superior to its predecessor in pretty much every way.

Guess it's time to play Neverwinter Nights: Storm of Zehir next, and Mysteries of Westgate after that.
Splinter Cell
Alan Wake - played but uninstalled, don't like the console-like movements
SWAT 4
Terraria. I want to finish it. not sure how long it will take. So far I am in molten armour with night edge and ready to kill Wall of Flesh so I can enter hard more for the very first time.
Before that I need to finish my fortress as my house is bitch to navigate as well as defend. Already set up two lava traps on a side but that's it really. I stock up enough stone bricks to build it fully but it will certainly take 3 hours before it is completed.
My "I'll get around to these someday" game list has become huge. Thanks, Steam sales. *sigh* ;)

Currently:
Alan Wake (bought here). Pretty, don't like the controls much, but nice atmosphere.
Nation Red - fun arena like shooter, good for short stress relief session or for when I'm not in the mood for a "thinking" game. I like it.
Risen 2 - I like the game itself well enough, but the terrible combat was kind of a turn off. The recent patch improved things somewhat however.
The Witcher 1, I'm stuck because of a boss, I did many hours of level up but it doesn't seem to work.

Also currently playing The Witcher 1, though I can't recall any bosses that I was stuck on (other than the Beast, damn you Beast...), but if you are on the Chapter 3 boss, don' t fight it, run away. If it's another boss, no idea, but most of them have a different way of fighting it that will kill it. If you want any more tips, PM, so we don't spoil that much in this thread.

Kikimore Queen? There is a trick to it, just don't try to brute force your way through it.


Anyway, even though I played through Might & Magic 7 & 8, my CRPG itch has yet to be properly scratched, so I'm currently working my way through Dungeon Siege 3.

It's actually the beast, it's driving me crazy, if you've any tips I'll gladly take them.

No, it's the beast.

Thank you guys.

Conflict Desert Storm - at home
Heroes of Might & Magic - at work (struggling with this one, think I might need to RTFM!) X)
Well I have my wheel bolted to my desk at the moment, so I should say "Shift 2 Unleashed" But I also have more:

Red Alert 3, also finishing the Empire... campaign
Rome Total War Alexander
Minecraft

I'm sure I have a dozen other games "on the go" at any time, but Total War and Minecraft have done serious damage to my other game time.
Dead Space. It's not scary in the least, and the plot/dialogue is making me roll my eyes, but the game-play's been a blast. Except for that stupid asteroid-shooting minigame. Who thought that was a good idea?

PMing you so as to keep this thread relatively spoiler free, though I think the witcher forums may also have a trick or two.
