Game Geex love them some games, so what are we currently playing? Read to find out.

Now this might come as a shock to, well, none of you, but I don't really have time to play all that many games. That's why I love to find out what other people are playing. We here at Game Geex live and breathe gaming, so I asked our writers what they are currently playing. Here's what they had to say:

Arthur

My current (very limited) game time gets sunk into Borderlands 2, Rift, Minecraft, and Final Fantasy XIV beta (when the servers are up). I've also been messing around with a handful of smaller/indie games on Steam, such as Defender's Quest, a tower defense/RPG mashup that is surprisingly addictive.

All I need in my life is League of Legends. I recently beat the Deadpool game and enjoyed all of it. Let that be a sneak peak for a certain upcoming article. Unfortunately I've been stalling until the new Star Wars Battlefront comes out!

Ken

I currently go through Final Fantasy XIV withdrawals. Being able to play the game you want to on weekends only is killer to my soul...

In the mean time, I enjoy Call of Duty:Black Ops 2 with Rogue Knight Gaming, League of Legends with the buddies, and Maplestory with my lone can of Mountain Dew.

Aimee

I'm hooked on the Brain Storm beta. The game cycle is at the halfway point and getting brutal--epic PVP spread over the next 15 days as I frantically google trivia terms like "hyperbolic tessellation" to survive. Rift is my other addiction and you'll find me there a lot. Really--when Summerfest starts, check Meridian NPCs and you'll see me (Maevrim) as a Fae, probably draining the punch.

^side note: really, I was told by one of the devs a couple days ago that there's a Summerfest NPC named after me :D He picked four of his twitter people he liked. Expect squealing and screenshots. I'm so excited!

Martin

I'm currently stuck in Neverwinter, don't tell the Starks. Between the ability to jump in for a quick 30 minute session and the website profession/auction access, this game has it's hooks in me bad. Sure DDO gave me a close option to this but Neverwinter is far more enjoyable and for me even tops the fun of Guild Wars 2. Pretty sure I'm done with subs at this point. Other than that I like to load up some insane puzzle platforming in Battle Block Theater. Between the commentary in game and twitch inducing traps this is my other quick pick as time allows. Also it entertains my 1-year-old, bonus!

In the few gaming moments I have, I find myself playing the WoW Auction House, then switching over to either Rift or Minecraft. Those technicolor sheep won't breed themselves!
