You've seen the title, it is what it says. What are you playing? What do you own? What are you looking forward to? What irritates the hell out of you? Stuck on a level? Is there a phone game you can't put down? Well, discuss it here!

I'll start. I'm a video game junkie. I own a PS2, PS3, PS4, a Nintendo 64, a Retro Duo that plays Nintendo and Super Nintendo games, and a plethora of games from the original Super Mario Bros. to South Park the Stick of Truth.

Currently playing Donkey Kong Country Returns on Wii....again. What irritates me? My Wii kept saying "Can't read disc" so I sent away for a new laser. Cost: $17. Ok, not bad... Came in 3 days. Then I found out I need a special 3-prong screw driver to open the case up. Sent for that, cost: $1.98 with free shipping! Time to receive: 3 freakin' weeks! So, tearing into it finally and a micro tiny hinge breaks on a ribbon cable connector. Now the whole thing is junk. So...send for a new complete hard drive. Cost: $36... But...it came fast and now the Wii plays like a brand new 5 year old video game system.

For awhile I was playing a lot of N64 games on my Nexus with a free emulator and a wireless controller. It was fun, but I grew bored with it after a bit.
I should check out some of the other brands like Sony to see what they have. I'm huge on RPGs, with Zelda being my main addiction. Mario is always good as well for adventure games.

If you're into RPG adventure games, I have one word for you: Skyrim. Hands down the best I've ever played and its my go to game when I have nothing else to play. I played it for almost a year straight when I first got it because besides the main mission, there are so many side quests and activities that it will keep you playing for a while. Red Dead Redemption is another good one. Right now i just started Mass Effect 2 again.
What I'm irritated about right now is the next Elder Scroll game (for which Skyrim is part of the series) called the Elder Scrolls Online. Not only does Bethesda expect me to shell out 60 bucks for the game but they want a 15 dollar subscription as well. To hell with that. I'm not a cheap guy, and since we have some disposable income I don't mind shelling out once for a game but to continuously charge me that kind of money for a video game is absurd. Either charge the 60 bucks for the game and make it free to play, or make it a free download with a sub price. Both is ridiculous!

So any Playstation owners out there? If so, what are your thoughts on them no longer releasing certain games to PS3, but only doing next-gen console releases? The reason I ask is because it was announced that Batman Arkham Knight will only be released on the XBox One and the PS4. There will be no PS3 or Wii version of the game. I know it makes sense that they are going to go with what they feel is their core market, and since they just released the new consoles it makes sense to try to set things in a way that will drive people to purchase the next console instead of sticking with the old one. But I also feel it might be too soon to be only releasing on certain consoles. I remember when the PS3 was released they continued making PS2 versions of games for at least two years after the fact.
Anyway, what do you think?

Never got to play Mario Golf. Sounds like it could be fun. I might have to search it out on Amazon.

I used to just play PC games...but you can't get any new games anymore for PC so I broke down and got an X-Box 360. I mostly like sports games...hockey is my favorite followed by baseball. Of course I have to add myself to my favorite teams. Right now I am playing baseball obviously and I am the #2 starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox behind Lester. I have an ERA of just over 1.00 and of course I have no losses but it's early yet. The problem is MLB 2K is the best baseball game out there and they didn't make a new game this year and they stopped the updates on the rosters so I have to manually edit the rosters so I only end up having the current Red Sox roster plus me but all the other teams are the 2013 rosters.
An interesting side note, when I played the hockey game I met the Canadiens in the playoffs and lost in game 7 and of course that's what happened in the real season. So I guess I can blame myself for the Bruins loss! LOL!
In addition to sports games I also have Ace Combat, Air Conflicts, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

All I own these days is a Wii that I bought for the eldest grandson. I can't even remember the games except Link's Crossbow which is the one he always plays when he is here. Long gone are the days of him asking "get me to the next level", he has blitzed all our scores and now has the top score all by himself.
I play mostly on the computer now at sites like pogo.

I.....I thought it was a Zelda review. But it was something better. Sorry to you Wii fans, but this guy makes some hysterical but poignant points.
