I'm playing
Dead Space (PC)
This would have been a much more compelling horror game if not for the bizarrely sluggish mouse movement, which feels strangely slow and floaty. You get used to it eventually ...
Crysis (PC)
Despite its occasional lapse, it is a game with a taste of the future - of what can and will be done with PC gaming. At its root it recognises that ...
Team Fortress 2 (PC)
The series that pioneered the idea of squad-based online combat finally brings out its second chapter - and it looks different than we expected.
Borderlands (PC)
However you play it, Borderlands is a fun, addictive and overwhelming game. It’s a gun-nut’s paradise.
Rocksmith (Xbox 360)
Sizzling, innovative guitar technology that sits on top of a tired formula makes Rocksmith a tough call. It’s undeniably fun in many ways, especially with the range of songs ...
I've Beaten
The Orange Box (Xbox 360)
The Orange Box has five big sections - Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half-Life 2, and Half-Life 2: Episode One - and they're juicy, delicious, and priced to ...
BioShock 2 (Xbox 360)

Taking place some years after the original title, BioShock 2 features the first Big Daddy returning to Rapture to stop the Big Sister and her ilk. Also, some long-awaited multiplayer ...

Fallout: New Vegas (Xbox 360)

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

The Godfather (Xbox 360)
A markedly beefed-up and improved version of the movie-themed Grand Theft Auto clone that casts you as a foot soldier in the Corleone crime family.
BioShock (Xbox 360)
Dive beneath the ocean's surface for a dark masterpiece of gameplay design. Scaring you is just the first of many, many things BioShock does spectacularly right.
L.A. Noire (Xbox 360)

L.A. Noire is a staggering technological achievement, offering up a fantastically detailed open world, a hugely engrossing story, varied gameplay and some of the best acting performances ever to ...

Collecting Dust
Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360)
A beautiful, richly convoluted, sci-fi-tinged romp through the back alleys of Damascus, Acre and Jerusalem during the Third Crusade.
Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

This anti-GTA IV doesn't have the technical niceties (graphical hiccups abound) or Oscar-worthy story of Rockstar's magnum opus, but wins on pure fun factor and gleeful silliness. Co-op ...

Shaun White Snowboarding (Xbox 360)

Pretty plain and flat compared to, say, SSX, but it's a solid downhill experience with a very open online system.

Assassin's Creed II (Xbox 360)

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.

Singularity (PC)

So what if the shooting’s often spongy, the health system frustratingly archaic and the visuals dated and uneven? Terrific weapons, powers and boss scraps mean the good times come ...

Aliens vs Predator (PC)

This revival of the classic FPS is deliriously gory, unwaveringly confident and spectacular fun. And, at the very least, it’s far better than the horrid AvP films.

I Love
