Last night I managed to finish Darksiders which I still regret as I only got into bed at 4 this morning. But after defeating the final boss and watching the ending, which by the way is left wide open for a sequel remember, War is but one of the Four Horsemen. I was very impressed with this highly underrated titles. I know I have compared Darksiders a lot to Legend of Zelda: Ocarina in the past. But for me, that’s a good thing. Because as a stand alone game Darksiders is original enough in the story and character design department that any other derivative aspects of the game seem more like an homage than a rip off to me. The 360 version has a slight problem of screen tearing on release day but it got a patch that fixed it a month after its release. Darksiders is a quality game and comes highly recommended to anyone who loves his/her Zelda, DevilMayCry and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver games. Now Vigil Games how about a sequel?
Solid 4/5

Heavy Rain (9/10) : Why didnt it get 10? Plot holes and frame rate drops, BUT make no mistake this WILL be the most interesting game you play for a long time! There is everything from fights, taking a dump, nudity, knockin' boots, drugs....ALLES! It got a 90+ Metacritic rating and I suggest you believe the hype. Its that good!:D

Dragon Age: Origins 8/10
Borderlands 9/10 (Co-op with my mate was awesome)

A bit late but just finished - Call of Duty: MW2
Its been slated for not having a very long campaign mode but it hits the spot for me - I dont have enough time to play for hours on end and I didnt have a problem jumping in and out of the action every few days or so. The story is great and really has that epic feel to it which keeps you wanting to come back and finish it off.
Its also the first COD i havnt played on a PC and was a bit worried at first but its been tweaked well I think to suit the console. The snap-to aiming helps keep the action flowing which i think console gaming is all about. All in all - a great addition to the COD franchise - 9/10

Aliens vs Predator 10/10
Just awesome.. That's all.
-
AvP: 90%
Marines: Standard horror FPS. Survival. Great story line and fun game play for the most part. However there were quite a few points where I wished there was a crouch button.
Aliens: Great fun, wouldn't change a thing there gameplay wise. Just wish there could be an opportunity to play as that Empress you become at the end, even for a little bit.
Predator: Again. It's awesome. The story is intriguing and really emphasises what I love most about the Predator race. That sence of primal honnor. Gameplay is fantastic, but again, I miss the crouch button, and I miss that needle rifle from AVP2. The targeting system for jumping I really enjoy, makes the action alot smoother and really makes a difference in fights.
Graphics: Overrated. My system just barely breached the minimum requirements (even my CPU is falling short) but I can still run it on maximum Dx9 settings (using XP so Dx10/11 is not avalable.) But it was still nice eye candy.
Overall: Great game. Just a little on the short side given the game is 15 freaking Gigs. What hell did they use all that space on?

Uncharted 2 - 98% !!
Stunning graphics, never got bored of gameplay.. Loved the comedy in between as well. Busy jamming Borderlands at the moment and digging it as well..Was about to sell it when i first tried it but decided to give it another go..

Dead Space 9/10
What can I say that everyone doesn't know?
This game is awesome! There are no cliched scares, never did I feel like I'm doing the same boring thing over and over. The atmosphere is dark and scary and every step you take builds up on the anticipation that something really really bad is about to happen.... And even though you know something is going to happen, you are NEVER ready for the horror that follows. A true Survival Horror master piece and a must-have for all lovers of this genre.
