Gaming heaven?

I know that we are in the strange time right now, summer, when big game releases are infrequent. For me, this has been nice. As I have mentioned previously, I am extremely succeptible to being swept away by the media bandwagon and yearning for the next big thing. With our current "drought," I've been able to catch up on the games that I have, and try out an awesome Indie game.

I recently suffered some pc problems, and had to do a system restore. Much to my chagrin, my "my documents" folder was wiped. This folder is where most new games keep their saves. So I lost my Fallout 3 save. I was pretty upset at first. But now, I am replaying the game, and having loads of fun doing so. As strange as it seems, this game still has me hooked. I had a level 29 character, over 130 hours into the game, and yet I can start over and not feel too bad about it. I think that this speaks volumes about the game.

I have also been playing Red Faction Guerrilla. This game is a lot of fun. Demolishing buildings is a surprisingly fun concept for a game. Add the guerrilla nature to the conflict, and you have an interesting, if troubling game. Despite what they have said, I am sure that the designers had to consider current events when they made the game. I have struggled some to reconsile my role in this game, but the storyline does justify the means you employ. Though I am certain that most fighters in a conflict feel justified. Anyway, this game is fun, and I shall relate an anecdote when I have more time.

The other game I picked up recently is Trine. I bought it off of Steam. What a fun, beautiful game. The physics based puzzles are interesting, as is the application of multiple characters. I am short on time, but I hope to give a really detailed explanation of my affection for this game soon.

Short post, but that's what I am playing, and enjoying at the moment.
