Got back into Diablo 3 a few days ago. It is massively improved. Still pretty inferior to D2, but they're starting to approach it.

I downloaded Diablo III for XBOX 360 when it first came out. One of my sons and I were really excited to play it, but lost interest in a couple of hours. I still have fond memories of loot-grinding in Diablo II... man what a game for its time!

Spent the entire evening yesterday playing Flatout 2. And by that I mean we spent the entire evening setting up virtual lan since there are no servers anymore and about an hour playing, but damn that game is fun. I even enjoyed setting all that shit up. Forwarding ports like it's 1999. It even looks amazing. That's a game from 2006. There are racing games out today that don't look as good as this.
I preordered Bugbear's new game about a year ago. It's probably another year away from release, but it's shaping up to be really good. I hope they keep the insanity of the old games alive. Racing a school bus against a flatmobile is what made the game amazing. I think 2005 will be racing game year for me. Probably getting myself a force feedback wheel and assetto corsa, because that game is ridiculously fun as well.
