Modern Warfare 2.

Fun game, can get frustrating when you're completely surrounded by guys shooting you but can't see a single one of them, but overall this game has a ton of grin-worthy "wow" moments:



The multiplayer is super competitive, and really only fun for those players who are REALLY into it.  I get killed a lot.

CSI : Deadly Intent.  Yeah, I know.  It's a CSI game, but I... kinda like 'em.  :)  I've played all of them, starting on the PC and now on the 360 (with achievements, woo!) It's incredibly casual, but I like the whole process of collecting evidence and analyzing crime scenes and all that.  Since Telltale took over the franchise, it's become *slightly* more puzzly, but I wish they'd give us free roam of the crime scenes, rather than locked camera positions. 

I also beat all of the Story Modes on Soul Calibur 4, which I also enjoyed more than I thought I would.  I managed to get all of the extra characters and see the cutscenes, but the other mode is too frustrating for me to continue with. 

Back to the rental company with both of ya!

Hoping for a music game, as I really haven't played one since Guitar Hero 3.

God of War 3 demo. It's needlessly violent and totally awesome.

Batman: Arkham Asylum (finally).  Took me a while to get back into the groove of the game, and the fact that first thing I had to do was fight 16 guys turned out to be pretty tough.  The final boss was a little easier than I was expecting, though his "vulnerable" time was frustratingly short.  I also went back into the game and got the final few Riddler trophies and completed that.  I've tried a few of the challenges, but they don't really hold much interest for me.  Great game!

Assassin's Creed II

Quite a fun ride. For whatever reason, the first AC never really grabbed me, but this one did. The missions were fairly varied. The city environments were fun to run around in. About the only thing that I found a bit silly came in during messages left from another person, which took an eye-rolling trip to the goofy at times. I won't say too much, as it's fairly spoilerish, but I'll just say that while I can accept Templars and Assassins fighting a secret war, tying them into everything gets silly. But that has little to do with the gameplay and isn't even a main point of the plot, at least until the very very end.

Otherwise, had a great time with it.

Well, you can't really beat a game like The Sims 3, but I am pleased as punch that I maxed out the Visa levels to Visa Level 3 for all three vacation spots. It took alot of trips, puzzle solving and whatnot to do it too. Plus as a bonus it was my Sim's lifetime wish to do this so he's permanently platinum.
Being a genocidal maniac is not one of my turn ons.

Is it weird to hear the Safety Dance in my head watching Game of Thrones?

Dawn of War 2 on the hardest difficulty. Primearch ;)

Uncharted 2.  That's a great fucking game.  Still one too many shooty bits for my taste, but it's more than made up for in the storytelling and presentation.  Nolan North is pretty awesome as Drake, and the set-pieces sprinkled throughout are truly spectacular.  My favourite section is easily the whole Nepalese city bit, which is just utter chaos and ends with the train.  The train!

I'm working on Assassin's Creed 2 now.  Not sure if I want to get all 1000 points, but the collection fever has struck me a little.   :)

Beat LitttleBigPlanet PSP instead yesterday morning. If you have a PSP or PS3, you really should try these games out. So much fun.
And the PSP one has a bunch of awesome movie references near the end. The main character guy is called Ed Wooden, and he's a movie director that wins a Golden Turkey award.

Pak-Man

Just beat Tales of Monkey Island: Rise of the Pirate God. It left me with a huge grin on my face. Telltale knocked this one out of the park. Now I have to suffer Telltalelessness until Sam and Max Season 3 comes out who-knows-when.

GTA IV. The main story, anyway. Plenty more to do in the game if I want to obsess, of course. God Almighty, was the ending depressing. Great game, very good at sucking me in for hours at a time. I'm looking forward to playing the DLCs sometime soon. Probably get them in physical form, though. My hard drive space is getting slim these days.


Pak-Man

Mass Effect: I don't know why I waited so long to really devote my time to beating this. The ending was satisfying and the story was awesome from start to finish. Bring on Mass Effect 2! -- Now do I want the lie detector armor from Best Buy or the Blackstorm armor from Gamestop...

I pre ordered Mass Effect 2 Collectors (ya right) edition from gamestop. But I in no way shape or form intend on opening for atleast a month or two while I work and go to school 10-14 hours a day.

Good times..... blah!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Haven't had so much fun ripping people apart since God of War II. Kinda short, but most action games are. Had a few WTF moments with the quicktime events, though. Especially a particular one that I didn't learn was made a hell of a lot easier in Feral sense mode . . . after I'd already damn near torn a ligament or something beating it straight by twitch-mashing on the X button.
