The games I'm actively playing right now (not many mind you):
Battlefield 2 ~ 9.5/10 - I play this game so addictively, it would be criminal to give it anything less, even with all its flaws.
Battlefield 2142 ~ 8.0/10 - It's defintiely a good game and a nice step forward in the BF world, but in all honestly I just can't be bothered to play something that is essentialy BF2 with a few extras added on. Still a great game though, especially for newcomers.
TES IV: Oblivion ~ 9.0/10 - Admittantly I'm an rpg noob and this is probably the first proper rpg I've played but everything about it has impressed me immensely; the sheer scale, the level of detail, level of interaction, the combat system etc it's just one mammoth of a gaming experience. It's also easy to get into and levels quite nicely as you gain experience which is great if you happen to be a noob to the genre (like me
). My only problem with games of this type in general is the amount of time you need to put into them to make any real progress, which isn't always feasible.
Rainbow Six Vegas ~ 8.0/10 - Excellent, action packed single player campaign with gorgeous and truely cinematic graphics, very different from RvS, but great in its own way. Let down by crap console to PC porting and absurd performance issues; how typical
. That said I'm still holding out for a proper RvS sequel made
first and foremost for the PC.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory ~ 8.5/10 - A great addition to the splinter cell series, following in the same vein as the previous title but improving everything at the same time. The graphics are also incredibly sweet with very fluid framerates even at maximum details ... yeah you guessed it, developed natively for the PC. Its the only reason I haven't aquired Double Agent yet; seriously, whats up with Ubisoft these days?
Company Of Heroes ~ 9.0/10 - You've probably already seen all the 90%+ reviews for this already. Easily one of the best RTS games I've played in ages; truly in a class of its own. That said, its difficult and relies heavily on strategy and "multitasking" orientated gameplay tactics.
Apart from that I've replayed through
Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, Condemned: Criminal Origins, Doom 3, HL2: Episode 1, GRAW, Farcry, AOE III. All fantastic games and highly recommended. Currently looking forward to
Supreme Commander, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Crysis, Armed Assault.
