I think I may have cured my gaming ADD, since I played nothing but Dragon Age this weekend. I finally climbed out of what I thought was an area of bad game design (your character is separated from the other party members for a very long time, and in a game that is about character interplay, it just didn't work), and got back to the actual quests themselves.
As much as I enjoy the mythology of the game, I've found I'm not reading the many, many, MANY Codexes the game throws at you, telling myself I'll get back to them later. Sometimes, when you only have an hour to play a game, you just don't want to slog through a treatise on religion vs. magic. Especially if it doesn't give you XP or a chance to get busy with that elf.
And you? What did you play this weekend?

Played 'Errand Boy' in full 3D this weekend. I did spontaneously pick a used Arkham Asylum, and managed to crack the spine on Monday night - which might technically be Sunday somewhere in the world. Right?
I play a variation on 'Errand Boy' called 'Taxi'. I think it's the same OS.
Glad to hear you're entering Arkham. Make sure your health insurance is paid up. And punch everything.
I played way too much Lego Indiana Jones with the wee girl. She is getting much better, but playing co-op with an almost 5-year old can be headache inducing. You have to give up on achieving anything, finishing the level, or collecting anything. Which, as you know, is the entire point of the Lego games.
