Great White Shark
@ Bao I Loved NWN, I never read any bad reviews of the game, and it was a blast on multiplayer. So much so that we ran a dedicated server for more than a year.
Just finished Bioshock 2
+ Duel Weilding of Plasmids and Weapons
+ Great New Weapons
+ Playing Big Daddy
+ Tatical Combat
+ Being back in Rapture
+ Good story
- Rapture is showing its age
- FOV bug on release
- No lead in to the story, the game assumes you played Bioshock 1
- No ghosts
War... War never changes.

[Insert witty title here]
Just beat Xenogears today, after nearly 70 hours of playtime. I started the game sometime in late July or early August, and have been playing here or there for the past 7 months. As much as I enjoyed the game, and it was a great ride, I'm soooo relieved to finally move on.
A few major nitpicks kept it from ranking up there with the all-time great JRPGs for me, but I can see how some people could see beyond that and appreciate its characters and story scope.
I'm not going to launch into a full-scale review, but I can honestly say that buying it off eBay last summer for $30 was a good investment, and I'm glad to have it in my collection and to be able to say I've beaten it. But I'm definitely ready to move on. 8.5 out of 10 from me.
Up next will be Shenmue 2 on the Xbox, and Bioshock 2 on PC. I've been a big fan of Shemue since it debuted on the Dreamcast. Finished the first game at least 3 times, and I bought the sequel when it was released, but never finished. I plan to start over with a new game and see it through this time.
Bioshock 2 will also be getting consecutive playtime. Loved the first game (my personal GotY for 2007), so I'm excited for the sequel.
After that, eh...maybe try and get through some more oldies.

Awesome.
Just beat Dark Void Zero. Not a bad game, but quite simple and over very quickly.
Up next is going to be Heavy Rain and Dawn of Discovery: Venice!

What you gonna do?!?
Just beat Heavy Rain and all I can say is what an experience.
11/10, Adventure gamers need to play this game right now, if you are looking for a more conventional gaming experience I would demo it first.
+Gfx
+Storyline
+Emotion
+Pulls at the correct strings, has perfect timing.
+A ton of replayability
-Too short (I think I beat it in around 8-10 hours)
-Clunky controls
-It's over
As an experience it is the best I've ever had playing a game, everything about the game was just fabulous. If you liked Fahrenheit then you will love this game.
As a traditional game experience it is lacking honestly, the camera angles can be a pain and the movement is very early RE'ish. I did not come into the game expecting GoW so it wasn't a problem for me and you do get used to it but if I need to find a chink in the armor then that is it. I believe I will end up beating this game at the very least 3 times as it is a multiple path game and I have a few things I want to change for sure.
If you have a PS3 you must play this game. It was a day 1 purchase for me and I don't regret it at all. Knowing what I know now I would have spent >$80 on it and not cared in the least. Awesome.

Just beat Borderlands. It was fun but nothing real special, I thought there would be a level of customization to the weapons which there wasn't. I played through it entirely with a buddy of mine and I don't think I would have even finished it if I were playing solo.
+Solid Co-op experience
+Nice visuals
+controls (after tweaking the fov and mouse smoothing)
-Story is very blah
-Doesn't run too great
-Have to tweak ini files
All in all it was a good time, I would say 7.5/10
Getting baseball games tomorrow so I doubt I'll be finishing any story based games anytime soon.
*edit* Forgot I'm getting BC2 tomorrow lol, I should probably be more excited about a game I've already pre-ordered.

Just finished Heavy Rain. Just... oh my god. Cinematic as hell, the story is extremely compelling and your choices really affect the game. Gameplay is very light, but for once I didn't mind because I was so interested in what was going to happen next.
After beating the game I went into the Bonus section and checked out the Making Of videos and holy hell I did not know they went so far as to model the characters on their real life counterparts. I think Madison is the only one whose likeness is not also the voice actor... and she's pretty damn hot.
Up next, probably going to sink more time into Spellforce 2 and DoD: Venice until Chaos Rising comes out next week.
EDIT: Oh, and plot hole

I'm about 30 hours into Lost Odyssey. Took about 10 hours to actually get into it, man is it ever boring and monotonous at the beginning.
I should have it beat by the time FF13 comes out but has anyone seen the 360 screenshots for it? Looks... not so good. I generally prefer to get things on 360 over PS3 (variety of reasons) but I might have to get it on PS3. I'll wait and read some final reviews.

Finished Borderlands yesterday and playing Assassin's Creed 2 starting tonight. I liked Borderlands a bunch. It wasn't the greatest thing since sliced toast, but it was fun and delivered some exciting moments.

Finished Banjo Kazooie and now playing Banjo Tooie on XBLA. Also trying to 100% Castle Crashers, but that's more of a long term thing.

SenorDestro
I rarely finish a game but I got tired of Dirt 2 (360) sent it back to Gamefly, and received Deadspace. At first I thought Deadspace was pretty bland but I'm starting to like it more.
For a good time add SenorDestro to your 360 and Steam friend list. PSN: PoopRiot

I know I swore I'd never play Need For Speed Shift but I did, and love it, and beat it. Not sure what I'll play next. I just invested in an old PSP and figured out how to get PS1 games on it. It's like the perfect medium for playing old games since the dated graphics don't bother me. I'm playing the hell out of ROAD RASH.

Nice. I recommend Patapon (PSP) if you're into rhythm/RPG/RTS games.
Wipeout Pure and Wipeout Pulse are damn solid racing games on there as well.
