Started playing Giga Wrecker recently.  I got it during this year's steam summer sale that started today.  So far so good (In terms of the game)  It's been made by the same developers of Pokémon

Just Cause 3. I'd say more, but I'm too busy surfing jet fighters into statues.

Just started playing Gigantic (still in beta, evidently). It's an action MOBA, played third person perspective style. I really like the quirky art style, though I doubt I will ever be really "good" at the game. It requires faster reflexes than I have.

Picked up the Division.  Pretty fun so far.

It's a wonderfully immersive game. I wish my laptop's GFX card was better.

The Cleaners suck. Period.

Paul Rhodes. Oh, lawdy, Paul Rhodes. He really makes the game worth it.

Excellent game and story.  Not a fan of the must have team aspect of it or the darkzone.  I have yet to survive more than 5 minutes in the darkzone without sherpas.

Two games have recently crossed into my targeting sights.
MasterxMaster: NCSoft's answer to the gaming shared universe like Heroes of the Storm. As a Moba-ish dungeon crawler with PVE and PVP, it feels rather like an arcade and that's fine with me. I've only spent a day on it, but I do plan on playing more.

At the moment I'm downloading The Secret World Legends because it has gone Free to Play and I always wanted to join the Illuminati.

Have yet to venture into the darkzone (and in all likelihood, that won't happen until I have a better comp to play it on), but I enjoy playing it with friends.

Lately I've just been going through nearly all the Elder Scrolls games I have. Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, ESO, and even the Legends card game.

I do have Battlespire and Redguard, but I haven't the itch to play them just yet.

Zelda: A Link to the Past, with an eye on memorizing the game and then moving on to the very popular Randomizer mod.

Yeah, I love that game.  My bro has his PS2 still, I get to play my game once in a while.  I get really suckered in to trying decide which direction to go since there 2 forks to choose from.  Front Mission 3 still my favorite thou.

I love FM4; was excited when I first heard about FM Online, but then was frustrated to hear it was only available in Japan. FM Evolved sounds like an Armored Core clone, which is not why I play FM games.

Got into Earth Defense Force because of a friend. Post of a cheesy giant insect killing game. Silly fun at its finest. Best played with friends.

Picked up Cold Waters.  It's the submarine portion of Red Storm Rising essentially.  Loads of fun, nice cross between arcade and sim.  Sunk my first Kirov cruiser this morning and was then promplty sunk by three helicopter dropped torps.  I really need to stop using Harpoons.

I've yet to play it, but from what i get from HBS's Battletech gives me the Front Mission vibe.  I can't wait to play that.

If you have Steam, Humble Bundle has the Shadow Warrior remake for free for the next day or so. It's a neat game, far better than the original.

Been trying out Dreadnought, now that it's in Open Beta. So far, I like it better than Fractured Space; though similar in some ways (MOBA type game), they have their differences, as well. In Dreadnought, you do have ship tiers to progress through, and you don't have statted crew. The reverse is true for Fractured Space.

I tried Dreadnought out at PAX East like 2 years ago.  It was like playing a old side-down rail shooter style Starblade arcade game when i was kid in early 1990s.  Where you were basically a gunner, with little to no control of the ship. I've been told later that they can be positioned/moved somewhat.  It properly different now.  Each ship in Dreadnought has unique role, like sniper etc.  It was fun at PAX East, but i'm surprised it took soo long to come out.

Matrix Games had send me coupon. I used it to buy Sengoku Jidai: Shadow of the Shogun. I played first 2 tutorial scenarios moments ago. This looks much like Shogun: Total War, but is entirely turn-based. Game play & controls are similar to Battle Academy series, but scale is different with hundreds of soldier in a "counter". And facing matters whole damn lot: flank attacks are devastating. Gotta keep the lines straight, flanks covered, and still have reserves to fill gaps in the line and mount flanking attacks. Easier said than done: units like to pursue fleeing enemy and run off the map while doing it.

[edit]
Let's play video of the game I had watched before buying it

Pretty much completed Gundam Breaker 3 and now playing the asia release of SD Gundam G Generation Genesis.

I can't believe my old habits of replaying early missions to unlock Mobile suit developement came back so soon.  Currently my selectable fleet is at the starter ship, a Gaw, and a Zanzibar.  My mobile suit complement is at least Advance of Zeta to ZZ Gundam and I've only gone as far storywise to finish the 0079 story and both MS Igloo stories.  I'm about to start the 0080 missions with backup in the form of the Queen Mantha, Big Rang, Full Armor 7th Gundam and the Dendrobium for my mobile armors.  Thinking of picking up the Jotenheim for space carrier use too for that section.

After playing Diablo 3 extensively again, I got the itch to fire up Diablo 2 once more and start up another Druid, going for a Werebear build.

DOOM (2016). While I love survival horror-- this game knows it's audience to a 'T' and doesn't skip a beat in it's 13+ hrs. Absolutely LOVE it!!
Although, I do wish the DLC content was targeted toward the single player campaign. PvP is not at all why I purchased. Also, I wish I had a better PC... chug, chug, chug!...

Thinking about picking up Space Hulk: Deathwing again. After the latest patch, it's supposed to be really good. PvE Co-op should be promising.

Doesn't that just remind of you about playing the first & original Doom on 386 processor? ;)
