Dead Nation (8.5/10)
Busy rediscovering why Half-Life 2 is considered one of the best FPS shooters of all time.
9/10
Planescape:torment. 9/10
Arguably,one of the best rpg experiences out there. Great game. Very morbid and atmospheric. And yes I did complete it.:p

Bionic Commando 8.5/10.
I really enjoyed this game, well worth the R75 it cost me. It can get super frustrating at times, but if you concentrate and don't die needlessly it can be tremendous fun. The biggest downfall IMO was how short it was. Too bad Grin closed its doors, they left the story wide open for a sequel. I really hope by some miracle Capcom decides to let someone do one. In the meantime I'll get Bionic Commando Rearmed and its sequel when it comes out.

Dr. Nefarious has now become my favorite villian :D
Lost Odyssey - XBox 360
I've been craving a good JRPG for a while now. So when I got an XBox 360, the first game I got was this. It's long and epic and I had a good time. It does have its faults though, such as random battles becoming annoying at times (but I guess this happens with most JRPG's). A strange thing for me is that I didn't find any of the characters all that likable. Plus the main evil bad guy looks like an idiot. The characters are probably the worst thing for me about this game.
The best? The dreams. They are little short stories that you have to read and they are incredibly well done.
The verdict: 7.6
Alan Wake
81/100
The best stuff:
- The story is very good. And I liked the way it's presented ... it's quite novel (excuse the pun)
- The look & feel is awesome. This is my first "horror" game, so i don't have a benchmark, but Alan Wake definitely gets it right in my book (excuse the pun). There are so many times in this game where you'll be running through an empty section of the woods or a scrapyard thinking "I am so gonna get dead here".
- Night springs tv shows are quite entertaining.
The not so good stuff:
- On Normal, it's not difficult at all (...and i consider myself a weak gamer when it comes to difficulty).
- Not the best graphics in the world. Ok, it does work within the context of the look/feel, but it's no Final Fantasy XIII. Cutscenes are also not much better.
- You can almost always run away from a fight with no negative consequence... just get to the next checkpoint and the previous enemies disappear and let you carry on your merry way.
- It's a bit of a short story (excuse the pun)
Overall there's alot right with it, and very little wrong.
I'm not a big fan of pure action games, but the story was intriguing enough to keep me interested.
Definitely worth your time to play through.
