Dark Souls - 8/10
 
This is just based on a few hours so far. So far I haven't flung my controller yet. Nothing too challenging (yet). I'm still kind of getting used to the controls and they're not perfect at all. Kind of awkward.
I wish I just had a gun to shoot everything.
 
Starting over and then having to go through a whole section again isn't as annoying as I thought.
 
It's somewhat fun to play and I'll keep playing it I think. Graphics are just so-so. They remind me of the old graphics of Final Fantasy XI on the Xbox 360..yeah that bad. I really don't care so much though.
 
Lately i've been getting a craving to play FFXI again..must resist. That game is so annoying. Square Enix seems to enjoy making people spend 40 hours in a game for a new upgraded pair of mittens or boots. What fun!
 
 
After this I played "Rayman Origins". I must buy this! Had more fun playing this than Dark Souls, but that doesn't mean much. This one is actually pretty funny, but only a demo. And yeah... I actually died a few times! Ugh...
 
Rayman 2 is actually one of my favorite games ever made and had a few tough parts. The Dreamcast version was the best...
 
I also picked up Dishonored and Two Worlds II ($12). Dishonored I rented and played through twice. Wasted a whole $40 renting it when I should have just bought it. Scored it for $25 with the Amazon Black Friday sale.
I could play through this a few more times.
 
BTW I wish there were more games like Uncharted 2. I could play through that a hundred times and not get sick of it. I sold my PS3 recently and wish I didn't...

Far Cry 3 is out here yes. Done 5 hours it´s quite good. I am one of the few that loved FC 2. I am really not sure it´s better then that but will need some 70 more hours or so :wink:

Already completed the game but don't want to spoil it for you, I still prefer the original Far Cry by a lot compared to both FC2 and FC3, the ending was sort of expected..that's all I will say. :)

The original Far Cry is one of the best PC games ever made, IMO. Still the standard for map creation.

ZombiU - 7/10
 
Its a little slow going for my tastes, but all in all its pretty solid. Feels more like the original Resident Evil. Must conserve resources (ammo/health), as there hard to come by. I am not a huge horror game fan, but this one peaked my interest and held me to the end, even though its painfully slow paced for me. 
 
Ninja Gaiden 3 - Razors Edge 8/10
 
I am really enjoying this, brutally hard like the first one. I had kind of lost interest in this series over the years, but it seems to have come back with vengeance for me. I can see it taking MANY deaths to complete this, its pretty unforgiving when you mess up......lol

Well, still haven't gotten Gold yet because I've been so invested in the SP of AC3. It's reallly, really good.
 
It definitely has a different feel to it than that of Ezio's games, but I like it. There is a ton to do, so far as exploration goes, although I'm sort of plowing through the main story right now because I find it pretty enticing. Very close to the end right now, so I'll leave the roaming to after that. The naval battles are lots of fun too for a completely different style of gameplay. I also haven't experienced as many bugs as others, I'm sure the patches helped. 
 
Right now I give it around a 9 or above, we'll see where it goes form here.

Thanks for the thoughts on AC3 TehJam, I have been thinking of picking this up. Having trouble deciding between it or Batman Arkham City.

I've played Batman, the difference is that I felt AC3 was a lot more immersive, but otherwise they're somewhat similar. I just love how history comes into play with Assassin's Creed games in general, gets me a whole lot more into the stories.

You're seriously the only person I've seen give that game a rating higher than 5.

Not much to spoil. The way I play these games is that I dream away and end up writing my own stories. Ask me what FC 2 or even FC was about and I can´t answer you. I seem to have an aversion for doing the main story :p
 
Far Cry when it arrived was quite a bomb. Pretty much the first game that could do this Island paradise setting. Brilliant AI for it´s time. FC 2 had more freedom though and was more immersive. Really focused on what I liked best on the original.

Finished playing Dishonored on less than 6 hours. I was expecting for a better ending
