Alpha Protocol. I give it a 7/10. It would've been a great ps2 game. It needed way more polish and improved AI. I had fun playing it.
Just finished Red Dead Redemption. Bought it used a couple months ago. Now going for the 100% completion. Just have 14 bounties left to do for that.
Incredible game though. I don't know why I never got around to playing it when it came out but this was an amazing experience with near-perfect storytelling. It's weird that even though most of the missions are very similar, the game never got boring due to the really well designed world you're exploring. This is where GTA 4 missed the mark a bit for me. I found Liberty City to be kinda boring at times.
I will tell you what I did NOT finish.....Mafia 2. Very nice looking game, very fun when you were actually playing, but there is only so much driving a guy can do. Anyone else enjoy this game?

I was sooo temted to snag this up used for 20 bucks, but was still sitting on Mass Effect 2, and my second playthrough of Crackdown (one of the funnest "Mess Around" games ever).

This is one of the few things that kept me away from this game.
1-I wasn't really feeling the "foreigner trying to find his way in the world" premise
2-The driving wasn't tight enough (there's no shame in a car handling "Arcadey" if it makes driving fun)
3-Liberty City is just played out now lol.
I was thinking Rockstar should base the next game in Chicago during the 90s or something. Have you be a Brotha again, dealing with gangs on the tier above the common street thugs (rocking suits, nice faded haircut, and Goatee). Brothas here are known for being smooth as opposed to abrasive and pushy.
The Chi has some of the best Expressways in the country, along with a great sports history (they could have 2 rival pro baseball teams literally trying to kidnap and kill each other for a chance at a World Series title lol).
And of course, you gotta have a "Stepping" mini game in there. This is THE trademark dance of Chicago.

I agree.
Some of the best parts of San Andreas (IMO, the best GTA game) were just being able to speed ridiculously through highways and countryside between the 3 different cities. GTA 4 didn't have that sense of variety and fun. I liked the story it told but the setting got stale for me after a while.
Just finished up Mass Effect for the 1st time. I bought Mass Effect 2 for 9.99 on Black Friday and blazed through that and loved it. I figured I should get around to importing my Shepard from the 1st game and beat the 2nd over again in time for the 3rd.
After playing the 2nd game 1st and then playing Mass Effect after, the combat was so terrible. Good thing I loved the story and the decisions you get to make so it was still an 8/10 experience for me. I'll probably take my 2nd playthrough ME2 slowly now but It will be cool to see my decisions in action.
Finished the game infamous for ps3 2 weeks ago, just got the platinum trophy today...
On a hunch, I decided to pop Ninja Gaiden Black into my 360, and what a surprise it worked :) Started a new session last week, and now Leading into the final chapter. This inspired me to snag up Ninja Gaiden 2 on the cheap (10 Bucks? why not).
These are actually 2 different styles of games, something I knew ahead of time. Where Ninja Gaiden Black is an Action Adventure Game with exploration and RPG elements, Ninja Gaiden 2 is more a traditional style action game with straight level layouts. If the Classic game Strider was in 3D, it would be Ninja Gaiden 2.
Anyway, beat NG2 tonight and I will say it was a decent ride. Not quite up to the Original's Standards, but still fun with homage paid to certain levels and enemies from the first game.
Just finished Bulletstorm. Might trade it, Black Ops and a Kinect game for Crysis 2
Killzone 3. Excellent campaign.
Just finished Dragon Age: Origins for the 2nd time just in time for Dragon Age 2. This time I went with Lelaina over Morrigan. And I was a Mage instead of a Rogue. Just as fun the 2nd time around. I'll have to try it again eventually as a tank or a 2 handed warrior. :applause:
I just completed Uncharted 2 for the first time after playing the first Uncharted right before. That was an awesome. One of the best I've played. Finished just in time to start up Dragon Age 2 shortly.
The only game I've actually finished (out of 30) is FF13... and I didn't really finish all the quests. I'm close to the finish of quite a few though, including; MGS4, ME2, Uncharted2, and RedDead.
Dante's Inferno. I really liked it. The similarities to God of War, I feel, garnered it lower review scores than it should've gotten. I'm looking forward to the sequal.
Took 4 years of on/off playing and a few restarts, but i finally beat twilight princess.
The only game I've completely finished with all the trophies etc, ever, was Assassin's Creed II. I was hooked.
Although I've finished the main story lines on 90% of the games I play.
Fifa 09
Halo 3
Metal Gear Solid
Goldeneye5. LoZ: Ocarina of Time (AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH)
World of Warcraft (pfffft, that doesn't count, surely)
Final Fantasy VII

Same here! I got all the achievements for ACII, the next highest achievement game I played is AC Brotherhood at 750 gamerpoints and then NBA 2K10 with 685 gamerpoints.
Just finished Crysis 2, which is absolutely amazing. Multiplayer is kinda mediocre with all the lag but is extremely addictive. 3/4 into Halo Reach and about half way through Mass Effect 1
Mass Effect 2 - Cleared everything including DLC's and side missions. No main crew members died in the final mission. I lost all of the NPC crew members though save for Dr. Chakwas :lol
God Of War 3 - Literally beat it in like 2 1/2 days. Cleared everything
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 - Beat the main story line just have to do the final test to unlock Sage Mode Naruto and 4th Hokage
Just beat Mafia 2.Storyline was great gameplay not so much but turned out to be fun anyways.

can't wait till ME3...gonna be soo epic....hopefully

The only things i hated about ME2 were that the Text was sometimes too hard to read, you couldn't toggle your helmet off and on at will, and your squad members didn't also have armored suits as well.
It just seemed silly to see what should be combat soldiers going into battle wearing casual clothes, while the squad leader (Shepard) is fully protected :oldlol:
Yeah a little more customization w/ the armor for ME3 ala dragon age would be nice. Along with the helmet toggle too.
Recently finished:
ME2 - no one left behind on first playthrough
ACB
RDR
Now playing DA2..... god' i've only played three games on the first quarter of 2011.
Recently? AC Brotherhood and am finishing up RDR (just got it 1 1/2 weeks ago)
Hopefully gonna pick up some new games to play this summer, BTW, is 2k11 worth picking up even though I am probably gonna get 2k12?

Yeah I really hated that you couldn't toggle the helmet on and off. You should be able to wear it in battle but take it off when talking. I also think the animations and facial expressions could use some work. The graphics are astounding, but sometimes the mouth flaps are out of sync with the words and whenever Shepard smiles a puppy dies...especially after Garrus talks about his sparring match with another Turian.
And yeah that does seem weird that they don't have armor or protection but Shepard wears it. Guess that's why we carry so much medi-gel :oldlol:
Just finished Assassin's Creed Brotherhood last night. I really enjoyed the game. I'd forgotten how much I liked AC2 and can't wait for the AC3.
beat TMNT Hyperstone Heist for Sega Genesis yesterday :pimp:
Singularity a week ago and Mortal Kombat story mode.
Finished Crysis 2 about a month ago. Still playing it because im addicted to the multiplayer and I am also trying to beat the game on the highest difficulty; 2 missions to go :D
Still halfway in Mass Effect 1 and also a third of the way in Battlefield Bad Company 2. Still need to finish Lost Odyssey (I bought it when I just got the 360. Almost finished it but I accidentally erased my hardrive when I replaced my profile as an XBOX live account), Prototype, Bayonetta and Fable II
Just finished Dragon Age 2. I really enjoyed it. Now on to Crysis 2.
Alan Wake last friday
In the last month or so: Vanguard Bandits, Hitman: Contracts, Hitman: Blood Money, and am in the middle of Fallout: New Vegas now. I stopped playing that awhile back because of all the freezing, but they patched it finally recently so that it's actually playable.
Crysis 2 - excellent and lengthy campaign
Just finished Dead Space 2
Just finished Vanquish. That last boss took me about 15 minutes!
I finished The Mafia II and L.A Noire recently.
Now working on Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Bump. Just finished "To the Moon". The gameplay was pretty simple, kind of a point and click adventure. The focus was more on the story though, which was really good. I'd highly recommend checking it out.
