S.T.A.L.K.E.R series is one of my fave Survival FPS. Call of Pripyat is the latest one. Stalker 2 was being made but in April the company shutdown but most of the developers are forming their own studio

Quote:
Today it is confirmed GSC Game World has been shut down and work on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. sequel has been halted. Not all is lost, however. Team members of GCS formed a new studio, Vostok Games, and are working on a new project.
"We did not reach agreement with the rights owner regarding the use of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. brand, that’s why we made the decision to move forward as an independent studio with a new project. That day became our starting point for Vostok Games," the team said on its official website.

Vostok is working on a free-to-play, massively multiplayer online first-person shooter called Survarium (working title).

"The concept of Survarium is a next evolution step for the idea of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. we’ve been working on for the last ten years, said project lead Ruslan Didenko. "Survarium will go way further forcing mankind to fight for survival not only within the closed area of Chernobyl zone, but also far beyond."
Survarium is set for release sometime near the end 2013 for PC. Posted above is the game's first concept artwork.

also btw the Company of Heroes franchise is on sale on Steam for 80% off atm

Just learnt about a new title to be released in about 6 months:

Dishonored is the first Arkane Studios game to be published by Bethesda Softworks since parent ZeniMax Media acquired Arkane Studios in August 2010. The game is being developed by several talented developers including lead designer Harvey Smith, known for his past work on the Deus Ex franchise as well as Thief: Deadly Shadows

I played 150 hours of Dead Island and loved it. Can't wait for the sequel.

Currently playing Sniper Elite V2. Very good.

And Volts. Seriously, you need to play Portal. Seriously. Only game I know that has a female protagonist and antagonist. It is a first-person shooter for smart people. So, yeah, Portal. Seriously.

I played and won my first Warhammer 40k Tabletop game today. Space Marines army (me) with 5 terminators (1 Term Sarge), 10 tact marines (1 a sarge) a commander and a dreadnought.

I wanted to give one of my tactical marines a promotion, his missile launcher ripped into the ork army, 2 Ork Deathchoppers, 7 Ork Boys and 2 wounds on Ork Warboss . I just had my army stay back and start hammering the ork flyers with my Dreadnought, tacital marines (they got one) and the missile launcher, the Orks came in range of my tactical marines and termies long before the ork guns could shot at me and slaughtered them. The Orks only got into Melee with my Dreadnought and there were only 4 orks left

Diablo 3 anyone?

I wasted the better part of a weekend thanks to this game. Hopefully my enthusiasm will peter out over the next week... shouldn't be an issue as I was already about over it by yesterday.
