[drupal=677]Currently Hurling Controllers/Mice At… The Middle of Summer[/drupal]

Watch out, it’s the latest edition of Currently Hurling, our semi-regular look at what games we’re playing in our spare time. Despite the undeniable presence of Summer, there’s been a steady trickle of releases over the past few weeks, including Red Dead Redemption, Blur, Split/Second, Crackdown 2, Limbo and of course StarCraft II. Next to the ever-lasting Left 4 Dead 2 and Dawn of War II, our current lunchtime favourites are the multiplayer modes in Blur, FIFA, and Halo 3. But let’s see what else people have been up to, shall we?
In this edition, one of our Eds feeds flowers in SPACE, while the other is lost in limbo. Also, Paul mounts and blades and Flavius mods an entire nation.

The Craft just won’t leave me alone, and I’ve not even touched anything beyond the single player campaign yet. I’m not sure if I should embrace or be terrified of the inevitable multiplayer onslaught. ;o

I bought Just Cause 2 that was on sale on Steam last week. I’ve got too much time on my hands. I played over 70 hours in 6 days. :confused: It’s a love/hate relationship though. I have made two blog posts about it too. (For those who care to read them: http://www.danyrioux.com/blog/en)

I really, really suck at RTS and I do not play them as a rule. I tested SC2 but I get my arse wiped on the first mission when you get on your ship. So, bleh. I certainly won’t play MP or SP since I will not bother buying it.

I play Oblivion once in a while and also TF2. Yesterday I bought Gratuitous Space Battle and although I did fiddle with it a bit, I’m looking forward to play for real.

StarCraft 2. OMS I looove the trailer.

Go the Terrans! Campaign is done. Gonna try AI then some friends.

Funny, I remember the sound of the Terran Siege tanks deploying from the previous games. It was a distinctive sound you would curse or love depending upon your POV. The new siege tanks are cool, but they sound wussy…

And fix my damn jukebox!
