Need for Speed SHIFT (Xbox 360)

Not Fallout 4 but its own unrelated game, this will have you taking a post-apocalyptic road trip to Vegas.

I'm playing
Assassin's Creed II (PS3)

Bigger, bloodier and far more epic than its predecessor, Assassin’s Creed II is a must-play for anyone who loves adventure, swordplay and climbing around on classical architecture.

SAW (PS3)

This gory adventure mostly focuses on solving puzzles, and though it captures the feel of the films well enough, there really isn't much to pull in non-Saw fans.

Dragon Age: Origins (PS3)

Dragon Age: Origins is high fantasy role-playing at its finest. Its detailed world, memorable characters, meaningful choices, and engrossing combat system makes Dragon Age the sort of game you’ll ...

I've Beaten
LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

LittleBigPlanet is a game that’s virtually infinite in its content, and the platforming isn’t too bad either. PS3 finally has its killer app.

Borderlands (PS3)
Borderlands is a very entertaining shooter and a rather bland RPG. It rewards dedication with new guns and new things to shoot at, which is all kinds of fun for ...
Mass Effect (Xbox 360)
Graphics are sharp and the story is one worth multiple plays - even if it only has one ending. This RPG/Shooter gives an actual sense of space exploration.
Collecting Dust
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition (PS2)
Absolutely essential if you've not played the previous Devil May Cry 3. The same game at heart - just not as ridiculously difficult
Fable II (Xbox 360)

This is role-playing in the child's sense: dress up and pretend. Despite the long load times and clunky inventory screens you can be who you want and have a ...

Star Ocean: First Departure (PSP)

The story itself is pretty typical, but the juxtaposition between futuristic/sci-fi atmosphere and the typical rural fantasy-RPG setting adds a lot of flair to what would otherwise be generic ...

I Love
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)
The second instalment of Nathan Drake's archaelogical adventuring.
Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3)

This third-person action game takes Batman inside the iconic, ultra-creepy Arkham Asylum, and this stellar release raises the bar quite high for all future comic book games.

Assassin's Creed II (PS3)

Bigger, bloodier and far more epic than its predecessor, Assassin’s Creed II is a must-play for anyone who loves adventure, swordplay and climbing around on classical architecture.

Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)
It's back: that mystical merger of Disney characters, Final Fantasy cameos and Action RPG combat against sub-human agents of nothingness. Weird? Oh, yeah. But also wonderful.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
It's the same Zelda we've been playing since 1998, tweaked and balanced to perfection.
Rise of the Argonauts (PS3)
An action-RPG where the player leads a party through a life of brutal combat in ancient Greece.
I Hate
Patapon (PSP)
Part rhythm game, part real time strategy. Once you start playing, you just can't stop - once you start singing in public, it's all over.
Prince of Persia (next-gen) (PS3)

Featuring one of the best AI sidekicks around, this new edition of a Persian Prince is a great time, if a little on the easy side.

WET (PS3)

This game hits the low class action it aims for, but has such a dumb and unsophisticated way of presenting it, that it amounts to little more than a rental.

I'm Tracking
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (PSP)

While series fans who’ve been waiting to play the first full-featured Kingdom Hearts in almost five years may find their loved returned tenfold, PSP owners who simply desire to ...
