Brothers in arms: Hell's Highway: 7/10 (a solid fps with a nice flanking option, it however relies on it constantly and once you've got a hang of it doesn't often offer any real difficulty).

Dead Space: 9.5/10 (i'm slowly working my way through this game, which as has bieng stated is a terrific, tense game that provides many scares).

You can't really choose which factions to side with. I wanted to go with one of them and kept doing missions for them, but then they ran out of stuff for me to do and I had to work for the other one.

But yes, you can choose how to attack. Although it does always seem to end up the same in the end.

Very true, I think the idea was that you where a mercenary so you wouldn't take sides. A good game, but hopefully they use and improve upon the same style of play for the innevetable third game.

I thought I'd add that i'm still playing FarCry 2 (have finsihed it twice, but its just som much fun how you can take out convoys etc in different manners). I've currently been using a flar gun and making both factions fight each other.

1. RE5 - 7/10 - really good but short (would reccomend borrowing from a friend for a week or two)
2. Braid - 10/10 - the best puzzle game ive ever played, very good story.
3. Rock Band 2 - 6/10 - pretty good but alot of the songs were not that great
4. Guitar Hero 2 - 8/10 - my favorite out of all the guitar hero/ rock band games
5. Banjo Kazooie (remake for xbox live arcade) - 9/10- just as good as it was 10 years ago (or however many years ago) but with better looking graphics

Counter-Strike Source with Warcraft Source mod 9/10. Gives me something to play while I wait for a new game.

So low for ME? I'm replaying it right now...I'd give it a good 8 or 9 / 10!

Agreed. Had quite a fun time playing against friends. Reminded me of the good 'ol fighter days.

Got this today and played through it. It was pretty enjoyable and there are a few new exciting weapons and armors to find and collect. The new Perks aren't quite as worthwhile as I was hoping for, but once you hit level 20 your character is already pretty beastly, so it's a moot point I suppose.

Chrono Trigger (replay, of course) - 10/10. doubtless one of the greatest RPGs on THE console of RPGs (and virtually everything else, mind you, IMO).

I could never really get into Chrono Trigger... I think serious RPGs are too daunting for me.

Earthbound was awesome

 

[HiGHFLYiN9]

Chrono Trigger and Earthbound are easily some of the best RPGs ever, and both have a huge following. I think there was even a fan-made physical strategy guide for the sequel of Earthbound. On the topic of RPGs, I'm currently churning through Sacred 2. More of a hack-and-slash diablo clone with a little bit of a learning curve when it comes to character builds, but it's proving to be mindless fun.

Diablo 2 ... 10/10 ... patiently awaiting the release of Diablo 3. There are other games??

Maybe 6.5 was harsh.

This game has hundreds upon hundreds of quests, huge maps and thousands of weapons. But it's not fun

Soon your character becomes beastly and you have max pots, killing bosses without moving. I made it through 2 countries before putting it down, too many quests are 'go there, come back, go there' without any challenge

4.5/10

Finished Katamari Damacy for ps2 today, awesome game, entertaining, and epic soundtrack, lots of replayability, but kinda short. 9/10

Continuing Ar Tonelico 1, so far it's a 6/10, entertaining enough, decent fighting system, easy to understand how it works without being overly complicated, however a bad dialogue and very small maps that connect. Might change depending on how the story evolves.
