Welcome to a new weekly feature (shamelessly taken from a video game blog I read often), What Are You Playing!

What I have been playing: I've been spending a lot of time with Gears of War 2 with a friend of mine at school and good ol' Watashi Wa. I've also been taking advantage of my roommate borrowing Fallout 3 from a friend of his by playing that at times, it's a fun game at times, but can be incredibly frustrating, especially since it feels a lot like Oblivion with guns (try as hard as you want to say it isn't, but the graphics, the interactions with people, the interactions with the environment, etc... are all holdovers from Oblivion). I also dropped some points on The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai on the XBLA. It's a fun little title, though it can get repetitive in quite a hurry. I fired up the Orange Box for some Half-Life 2 action, working on getting all the Half-Life 2 achievements, then I'll move on to HL2: Episode 1 and 2 respectively and try to nab those missing achievements. Halo 3 managed to sneak some time in (as is usual). I also picked up Phantom Hourglass on my DS for the first time in a long time and advanced myself closer to the end of that game.

What I want to be playing: Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack
Halo 3: ODST
Left 4 Dead
Dead Rising 2
