    Just beat Bioshock 2 on the PC last night.

    Overall, I loved it. The original was easily one of, if not my favorite games of 2007, and one of my favorite shooters of the decade.
    The atmosphere is quite simply mesmerizing, and is easily the star of the show.

    I really enjoyed all of Bioshock 2, if not quite as much as the original, if only because the atmosphere and world isn't as fresh and novel, and a few things seem a bit dated. I also have a few technical quibbles, with some inexplicable slow-down and long load/save times.
    Gameplay-wise though, I appreciated many of the changes. Dual weapon/plasmid wield, new, innovative weapons, excellent new enemies, etc.

    I didn't quite enjoy the story and characters quite as much as the orignal, although I realize that's entirely subjective. Still excellent, but not quite as memorable I felt as the original game.

    Still, one of the best games I've played this year, and another fascinating trip through Rapture.

    I've put aside Borderlands for now, and I'm playing Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles on the Gamecube. My save got corrupted on my 1019 card, so I had to go back to a save that was about 70+ hours behind where I was on the save that was destroyed. I've managed to catch up to where I was in less than 30 hours though. Why am I playing this again? I'm obsessed with completion of course.

    I'm having a hard time finishing FF13 right now, I'm 28 hours in and just got to chap 11 (out of 13) and I think I'm gonna put it down for awhile and play Alan Wake and Red Dead then come back to it.

    Just Beat Brutal Legend. Meh game that wasn't more then the $10 I paid for it. The RTS portion sucks and the story is not up to par with a Tim Schafer game.

    Still on Monster Hunter 3, Fable 2, and what ever my DS has at at the moment.
    If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

    Hmmmm... Currently playing Front Mission for DS. Also some random games like Drunken Paladin made by someone with RPGmaker VX. It is actually pretty good, and hilarious. I would recommend it if you like the older SNES style games and enjoy a few laughs. It makes fun of a lot of the serious RPG plot lines and cliches.

    Looking forward to Alpha Protocol (early birthday present), although I may dump my Best Buy gift cards on RDR if I keep hearing good things about it.

    Supreme Commander 2 for me. I just can't get enough. Screw the naysayers, this game is awesome. I've logged ~140 hours already playing it. The multiplayer is fantastic IMO. More please.

    Just finished New Super Mario Bros. Wii last night.

    It took me a little time to warm up to, but I really loved it from nearly start to finish.

    I finished the DS version not long ago, and enjoyed it greatly as well, but I really enjoyed the Wii game far more.
    Very balanced, colorful, fun, addicting gameplay. Great 2D visuals, wonderful nostalgic nods to all the previous 2D Mario games. Music and sound was also pleasing and appropriately "Mario-esque"

    Overall, great game that finally gave me a real excuse to play the Wii.

    9.0 out of 10

    Next up will likely be Super Mario Galaxy. Hopefully it will capture my attention better this time than the last time I tried to get into it. But I plan to give it a fair shot.

    Also plan on getting back into and finishing Deus Ex, and a number of classic SNES game (mostly RPGs) I never played or got a chance to finish as a kid.

    Right now, I'm thinking mostly RPGs.

    Secret of Mana (which I never finished, but feel like I should), Terranigma (never released here, but love Enix RPGs), Lufia and Lufia II (heard good things), and Secret of Evermore.

    I probably won't get through all of them, but I'd like to get through at least three of them or so.

    The Witcher

    9/10

    +Mature storyline, well written.
    +Believable NPC's.
    +Moral dilemmas.
    +Long (30-70 hours)
    +Innovative battle system.
    +GFX very immersive, does not look like a 3 year old game.
    +Last 1/3rd of the game is some of the best gaming I've ever played.

    -Even with todays hardware certain parts run terrible (Chapter 3)
    -Controls are a touch clunky
    -Alchemy is confusing
    -Chapter 2 is very close to boring



    If you like RPG's then you need to play this game, If you are sick of RPG's with spikey haired whiny protagonists also then you need to doubly get this game. The story I guess is closer to Dragon Age in tone than anything else I've played ( and I loved me some Dragon Age ) and it couldn't be better because of it. Everything about this game is fun and engrossing, I honestly don't have much bad to say about it and nothing that it doesn't do extremely well gets in the way. So basically purchase it.

    I would buy this for anything under $45. It is $19.99 on Steam right now and at that price it is a hell of a steal.

    Crackdown 2

    6/10

    +Mindless fun
    +Orb hunting

    -Same game as original if not worse
    -Terrible story/objectives
    -Melee combat is bad
    -GFX
    -Climbing buildings can be very frustrating


    Okay, I loved and I mean LOVED the first crackdown. It had so much personality and was mindless fun just running around annihilating everything you ran across. It also had a fairly decent story and a sense of progression. Well, Crackdown 2 has no story whatsoever. The mindless fun is still there but it isn't nearly as fresh this time around. This has to be the biggest disappointment of a game that I've been subjected to in a very long time. I do not recommend buying this game, it would be a decent rental though.

    Recommended purchase point $10

    FFX

    +In-combat party change
    +In-combat gear switch
    +Unique leveling system
    +Insane amount of game content
    +Basically a free game
    +Good ending
    +Pixellated boobs

    -Pixellated boobs
    -Nonsense plot
    -Way too easy
    -Bad graphics
    -Game is just weird

    7/10

    -Cheesy

    If you missed FFX, you're not really missing much. But if you like FF games then you won't regret playing it.

    Last game I'd beaten was Bioshock 2 (took me a damn long time as I was always too busy/tired) and BC2 (yet again). As of late, I've not been in the mood to play much, too pooped after work, but had gotten Singularity and I'm quite a few levels in, not a bad FPS actually.
