3/10
First templar:
80% Better than expected. Good little adventure game with some rpg elements.
Prototype (360)
Crikey but those last couple of missions were tough! It was a relief to finish it and after the intensity of those last missions I just don't feel up to getting more achievements. I didn't enjoy the game a lot in the beginning but it became better with each mission. I skipped almost all of the side events because they were so unappealing. Overall it was worth the play though and the story was quite good and told in an interesting way.
7.5
Finished portal 2.
It was awesome. Loved the script.
9.0 :D
GTA IV
7/10
gets a bit boring after a while.
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes (PSN)
8.5/10
Extremely addictive game with awesome puzzle battles :).
Terraria
9/10
Fantastic little platform, side-scroller 2D game. Very similar to Minecraft in terms of mining for resources, and crafting them into useable items. Loads of creeps that come after you relentlessly, providing you with the option of either hiding in your house that you made, or staving them off. Creating tools made from copper through to hellstone is exciting and adventourous. However, once you have reached the last tier, the fun dies down a little.
None the less, the game is great in coop and generally all round a solid game for $10.
This might be a tad late, but the last game I played and finished (for the second time around) was Elder Scroll III Oblivion. It is excellent on so many levels.. was so amped for the new ES that I couldnt resist re-playing the old one :D
80%
World of Tanks 7/10
It is a MMO. You battle it out against different types of tanks that were developed throughout World War II. Great game to play when you are fed up with a level or quest. Pretty good graphics and the tanks are 99.8% historically correct.
This may be old but got a copy of Madden 11 for Xbox. The last one I played was on PS2 which to me was unplayable due to complexity and speed of the game. On 11, its much better flow, more simple and actually enjoying! I must admit I am a closet NFL fan so was disappointed in Madden as of late, but 11 is so refreshing I can't wait to play the next game.
Gameplay can still be fast and you have to watch allot especially on Offence. But even the Pro's make mistakes.
I give it 8/10
Portal 2 - 10/10
Mortal Kombat PS3 : 9/10. Awesome!
Dragon Age 2
This is an epic RPG with great visuals, voice acting and storyline. The characters are complex and intriguing. The gameplay is fun but does go through periods where it's a little repetitive. The game took me about 26hours to complete (with most side quests done). The difficulty scaling is abit up and down and I would recommend playing it on hard for Veterans of the RPG genre.
I would give it an 8.5/10. A really good game overall, but lacking a little something that would have made it amazing!
The Witcher Enhanced Edition - Directors Cut (Steam) 8.5/10
The game is not without it's problems, in some ways it seems the developers were maybe a little too ambitious and there are a few minor flaws that you will encounter, namely some of the voice acting, however the game is a translation from Polish to English. However once you get into the game the world is extremely immersive, and for RPG fan's it will not disappoint, albeit and "old" game by today's standards, it is still a beautiful game graphically.
I've been mashing my way through The Witcher while trying not to get too distracted by the Witcher 2 box on my desk.
Pokemon Black & White, new area and everything but still repeat of the old games with slightly new story line and 2d/3d
If you new to the game you would find it very fun
I played two totally awesome game recently.
Enslaved - 8/10 (I'm not a fan of the Unreal Engine, it just don't do anything for me, story is EPIC and gameplay awesome).
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom - 9/10 (what a unique and totally awesome game! I loved it! It was very reminiscent of Ico, you just have a useful companion in this one).
Portal 2 --> 11/10 :D
Awesome game in all aspects!
Bayonetta - 9/10
Incredibly underrated game in South African gaming communities. It is epic on so many levels. The combat is so fluent and polished, and graphically it delivers. The scale of the game is also quite impressive, with the biblical-like mythology adding some intrigue. The story might not be as comprehensible as you'd like sometimes, but it still delivers. The only major criticism I have is that the cutscenes are terribly designed and sort of draws from the experience. All in all, Bayonetta is a challenging experience that provides great replayability once you crank up the difficulty to something respectable.
the last game i played through to the end was portal 2 co-op
My God it hurt my brain. You have to love the way it plays out with your friend, and glados is as sadistic and sarcastic as ever
my Rating - 8/10 A good buy, no replay value
Tekken 6 (Xbox 360) - 7/10
Pretty decent game, although it does get very repetitive if you play through the scenario campaign thoroughly. What I did like about this game was that it was the first game I actually managed to achieve 1000/1000 points for so that's one good thing i got outta it :D
LA Noire (PS3)
Great historical atmosphere with issues of the time (bootlegging, racism, movies and apparently murders) in a great big city called Los Angeles. Its on open world game when it really did not have to be. All focus is on evidence collection and suspect interrogation, and with the fantastic facial animation its your job to separate the lies from the truth.
Definitely worth at the very least a rental, but I think this will turn out to be one of the Game of the Year contenders so why not buy it before the trophies are awarded and claim you knew it all along?
85% would be my score
I must admit ... i thought it was [email protected] ... but i only gave it a small amount of my time trying it out. I just hated the button mashing in that graveyard scene right at the beginning and so I never bought it. Not exactly a fan of action games... and, to be honest, the whole blasphemy thing also put me off :)Quote:

Need more Player faces made from the new 8-step method.
Can't wait for the Rugby games coming early August. Football is getting old...always been a rugby guy.
Shooters-
COD-Black Ops...Like the story; but i prefer the Modern Warfare games. Simply because it is Modern...HA Ha.
Racing-
Forza 3- Sh*t Boring
Hopefully i can get my hands on Dirt 3...looks Sick. Offroad racing is a lot better. Kiff cars too.
Rift
It has all the features, but I found it a bit bland. Also, the insane ping spikes drove me away.
7/10

Bulletstorm
It was alot of fun to start with, but by the end it was a case of "much of the same". I never managed to check out the multiplayer (always wondered how that would work), and ended up starting up my WoW account again, so nothing new since then and no time to check multiplayer. All in all I would say it's worth a try... 7/10
Portal 2
Zero replay value but still worth every cent.
8/10 at least.
PS make sure you find a nice co-op buddy, made it a lot of fun.
Assassins Creed: Brotherhood - 88%
Just an absolutely solid game. Didn't think it was possible, but the gameplay has been improved even further over AC2, simply a crap load of fun to play. Story is incredibly captvating, nice and long too without being too winded, lots of stuff to do on the side the make the game last even more. And with all that, it runs flawlessly. Now I NEED the next game. What's haaaaaapening!?!?!? :eek:
Vanquish (9/10)
Awesome third person shooter which has definitely gone under the radar.
Dungeon Hunter: Alliance - 7.5 / 10
This is a little co-op gem for the PSN. Awesome fun!
Magicka - Lots of fun, bit tough when playing solo (it's made for 4 player coop). And it's genuinely laugh out loud funny, has lots of great sc-fi/fantasy/pop culture references all over. Think it should be a blast playing it with a couple of friends.
*Edit* Oh yeah, hmmm... I'd say about 80%, should be more if you play MP.
The Witcher 2:
The story is quite good but could've been better imo, the combat is simple yet hard which is good
I like the fact that it's quite hard even on normal, very good graphics. Best rpg i've played in a long time
+- 87%
The last game I played was SC2.
Easily met my expectations and surpassed them. Great game. Probably the best game I have played in a while and the multiplayer keeps it from getting old. I even ended up watching the Korean league matches which were streamed on GOMTV :>
Darkspore - 8 / 10
Addictive..
Mortal Kombat
9/10
Brutally adictive and holds a few surprises.
Fallout New Vegas Dead Money DLC
A great little addition to the game. Wonderful story line, same old Fallout and an extra 5 levels. Just wish the loot had been a little more creative.
8/10
Mafia II
Good story, better than Mafia I imo. (The DLC's is a bit of a let down.)
8/10
NFS: Hot Pursuit - 9.5/10
It's beautiful cars set in a beautiful environment without the need to worry about tuning, upgrades or even a pesky storyline. It's good old racing with powersliding around bends.
Fable 3: Gets boring really quick...
3/10
Portal 2 - 80%
Awesome game. They really expanded on the old game and they did a great job.

Brink - 70%
Not a bad game, the "smart" system is pretty cool, other gameplay features are pretty cool, but the "getting thrown across the room" from melee or explosives can get very confusing at times. Cool gimics aside, nothing really special about it.
