Played Mirror's Edge again. The story mode is fun but the game shines when it comes to the speedruns. Wow. So tough and frustrating but oh so rewarding when you string together that perfect run. :) 8/10

Quantum Theory. What a pile of shit. 3/10
just recently started World of Warcraft:Wrath of the Lich King
Being a Huge fan of Vanilla, I have an appreciation of working hard for items and various rep rewards. I can however appreciate what Blizzard are trying to do - by making the game more accessible for new players. The small touches like emailing you when you are the right level to gain the riding skill - and more importantly letting you know where to find it and how much it costs would surely greatly assist new players.
The Achievement system is also rather fun , trying to gain various feats and seeing whats available, makes you work hard at certain aspects giving you something to aim for.
For now I am greatly enjoying the game, taking my time with some buddies trying out the various new game mechanics and spells that are on offer.
Very Impressed so far - and cant wait to try out the new continent that was added.
Graphics wise - I would have laughed at you if you said that wow would bring a machine to its knees - but that is what WotLK did to my laptop when I pushed graphics settings to Ultra x)
I still play 1920x1200 but taking a very much easier level of detail for my setup - I will be needing a new lappy when I switch over to Cata eventually ^^
Overall Rating 9/10
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
8.5/10
Fahrenheit / Indigo Prophecy - 8/10
Always wanted this game, but couldn't find it anywhere so when I saw this game Friday on GOG for $6, I bought it immediately. Now the game is old as dirt, graphics resembles something similar to one of the first Hitman games and the controls are "different" than other games. I can't say that I like it... I would prefer something normal that makes me feel more directly linked to my character / actions.
Other than those two things, the game was actually pretty fun, great story, multiple endings and sequences that reminded me of The Matrix. Would be awesome to have this game remade on today's graphics. I think this is the first game I've played where you play the all characters from various sides of the story. Very interesting.
As soon as I get a PS3, I'm getting Heavy Rain (same developer and I think same type of game)
Binary Domain 9/10.
This will probably be the one of the most underrated titles of this year. I'm quite the Yakuza fan (even though I haven't managed to finish a single title in the series :p) so I had high hopes going into this and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. The cover system works really well and the controls are super tight, boss fights are AWESOME and varied, and shooting robots apart piece-by-piece never gets old. The story is also rather decent with some good voice acting and a couple of interesting characters. I'm really hoping SEGA is planning a sequel. It loses one point for voice recognition not working as I wanted it to and for the stupid teammates that keep running into my line of fire and then blaming me for shooting them.
Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition ( vok )
Its ok, its really hard and theres only 4 characters that I actually like in the whole game.
Mass Effect 2 (with all its DLC Missions) for the 4th Time and its still a 9-9.5 out of 10. The only complaint I have is the mining.
Mass Effect 3 - 8/10
Gameplay, improved combat, multiplayer, everything was 10/10.
I liked how they tied up almost all of the loose ends, although some of them was not as satisfying as I would have liked. Weapon customisation is improvement over ME2, but still not as good as ME1. Would have been nice to have one or two extra squad members though.
The only bad about the game is some parts of the story that I think they screwed up, especially the ending.
I played the game through on a full Paragon saved game with all previous squad members saved. I'm curious to see the changes to the story when certain characters didn't survive as some of them have really big parts in the story in ME3... but after seeing the ending, I'm a little bit demotivated at the moment.
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (PSN)
8/10
