The Last Story.

I utterly loved it. Faced paced, great battles, good plot and brilliant characters.

I completed Uncharted: Drake's Fortune again on Crushing difficulty. Didn't expect it to be that tricky at the start, especially when the damage level is slightly increased. As long you take cover and stay precise with the aiming, it shouldn't be a problem. At the end, another platinum trophy is unlocked. :)

Metal Slug Advance no miss about 60 Prisioners rescued.. Finding Prisoners in the extra Dungeon level just to unlock extra levels in the main missions is a little hit and miss.. Can beat the first boss easy now, espically as you can fight it with the Slug

Fallout 3: New Vegas. Finished it first supporting the NCR and then went and played through Mr House's ending. I'm going to play though Caesar's Legion ending and also try the Wildcard ending too. Most of FO3:NV is on a par with FO3, but the climax of the two stories I've seen so far so does not live up to the ending of Fallout 3. The game locking up continues unabated :? :evil:

I completed the first episode of Walking Dead.

I was left really impressed, the gameplay was nice and varied, story was good and it left me excited over the next episode.

Negatives? The art style is bollocks, it's cartoony cell shaded (think Borderlands) and totally undermines any horror that might have been created by the walkers. The choices you have to make are also, at times, unclear. There's one moment where you choose whether or not to lie about your character's history...but the game doesn't tell you what it is!!

Finally completed Gears of War 2.

Have been playing it co-op with a mate so have only been playing it when we can. We've completed the first two together so once I buy the third we shall play through that as well.

Just finished Mass Effect 3...at 1:30 in the morning. Wow. Just Wow.

I can see why a lot of people were so jaded, it wasn't the sort of ending I would want...but at least it all made sense and was finished artistically :/

Serious Sam First and Second Encounter. Good old school shooty fun that sends absolute hordes of enemies to mow down. Loved all the funny secrets and harsh traps. Word of advice: If you ever see +1 health or armor bonus by itself, just leave it alone :lol:

Just completed Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.

I was aware the game was very short, so that's why I only paid about £5 for it... It was indeed very short, I managed to complete it twice on the same day to get most of the achievements.
It was fun, but I don't really see the point of having a game that doesn't make sense in the Star Wars plot... I wish the scriptwriters had tied the game to the main story.
But a nice thing about the game is the DLC which is available: it was fun, with a new story that went completely against the movie (but it was intentional, so no problem there) and had you kill Chewbacca, Han Solo, Jedi Leïa and tons of Ewoks... and the best thing, it was really cheap (80 MS points). A nice change considering the usual 800 MS points for new maps or useless costumes in most games.

Just had the end credits roll on The Last Story. :(

Didn't want it to end and really hope that they make another game with the characters.

Max Payne for the PC. Way harder than I remember, Max can only take a couple of hits before dying and enemies tend to be incredibly accurate. No regenerating health either which made health supplies incredibly valuable at certain times in the game. The gun fights are superbly done and really stylish, the atmosphere and story presentation are as good as I remember. Onto Max Payne 2 now...
