To steal an idea from The Borderhouse blog, I would love to know what other people are playing this week. They call it Whatcha Playing Wednesday….I call ours procrastinating when I don’t want to work 
It is especially hard when work is gaming. I was at GDC last week and played lots of great indie games and games still in development in the GDC Play area. And now I want to play those games more, but I have to come home and finish all of the other games that I am playing for one reason or another. so here goes!
This week I am playing lots of stuff. I am still playing at least an hour a night of Ni No Kuni. Pea and I play about a half hour a night and then I play another half hour beating a boss and getting us to the next narrative arc. I am also playing Persona 4 Golden on the Vita whenever I get stuck queuing or waiting for an appointment. I need more solid RPGs that I can play on the fly so someone really needs to get on that!
I am also playing Double Fine’s The Cave, which I don’t think that I am loving as much as I had hoped that I would, but I will reserve judgement until I finish the game (or until I am finished with it…whichever comes first). And finally, I am still playing Tomb Raider (cut me some slack folks I was at GDC all last week so I didn’t get to play any of my console games)
But what I really want to do is to start Bioshock Infinite! With all of my heart and soul I want to start that game! But, I guess that I am going to have to wait until I at least finish The Cave for Games and Rhetoric and Tomb Raider for Charlotte because you really can’t write about a game unless you play it. *le sigh*
So now that my portion of sharing time is over, what are you playing this week and what is going to get you through the weekend?

I just finished Dragon Age: Origins; Mark Leahy and I are writing an article on moral choice in games using Dragon Age and the Walking Dead game (which is next on my list). I’m also fooling around with Real Racing 3 for my iphone (fun, freemium, gets repetitive). I’m thinking about taking the plunge and buying the new Sim City.
Nooooo, not Sim City!!! The Walking Dead was awesome!! If you want to buy a new game get Bioshock Infinite or Tomb Raider!
I’m playing God of War: Ascension which is pretty awesome so far… I’m also in the middle of Gears of War: Judgement, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, Tomb Raider, and Crysis 3. Holy backlog Batman!! I need to start Bioshock Infinite ASAP.
I’m playing TOMB RAIDER! I absolutely love this game. I’m stuck on the part where I’m fighting the giant Oni with the big spiky club. I’ve figured out his weakness, but most evenings, I just don’t have it in me to handle a fight that intense. So, maybe this weekend.
On iOS, I’m totally addicted to What’s the Word, Icomania and Clue Word.
I’m playing through Arcanum for the first time.
