Enjoy.
Mass Effect 2: Stunning writing. Gameplay is mediocre, but as a story it’s absolutely absorbing. Best narrative this year.
STALKER Call Of Pripyat: Probably the best RPG I’ve played in my life. Brutal, tough and everything a Ukrainian game based in Chernobyl should be. Near perfect.
Bioshock 2: Mediocre. Bioshock was a fantastic story, and very innovative. While in terms of gameplay B2 is extremely enjoyable, the lack of motivation from the story is very noticeable. A very fun experience, but not groundbreaking.
Heavy Rain: In terms of innovation, unrivalled. In terms of gameplay, it’s crap. A failed experiment, but enjoyable for its originality and excellent storytelling.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Decent game. Complete lack of a story but quality gameplay redeemed it somewhat.
Supreme Commander 2: Not a patch on Supreme Commander.
Assassin’s Creed 2: Zero re-playability, and alright story. Insanely awesome gameplay - very, very fun. A decent game to just enjoy. Ezio is rather likeable as well.
Just Cause 2: Enjoyable. That’s it. It’s a fun game, not much else.
Halo Reach: Gets boring very fast. It’s ok, but not much else.
Medal of Honor: Shite.
Super Meat Boy: Challenging as hell, with the most epic music ever. Everything casual gaming is meant to be and more.
Fallout New Vegas: A decent effort, and very enjoyable. But compared to STALKER…eurhh.
Call of Duty: Black Ops: Fucking awesome. I don’t care what critics say, the story was something very different for COD, and the multiplayer was all about the gunplay. While PSN issues put a stop to my enjoyment, it’s still one of the best recent CODs bar 4.
Gran Turismo 5: GT4 was better.
