Orcs Must Die! - 9/10
Turns out, I really like tower defence games. This was very good though. Humorous, beautiful graphics, lots of levels... Great game.

No guts, no glory, no brain, same story.
The Void - 75%
This is unlike anything I've ever played before. Quite interesting, very philosophical and it took me forever to complete.
Binary Domain - 75%
This game I would place somewhere between Alpha Protocol and Mass Effect. This is not a RPG, but the dialogue, story and team members are similar to that of Mass Effect for instance. The game has great graphics and a good story. It does get a bit repetitive as you're mostly shooting and robots that refuse to die, but overall, definitely worth getting on special.

Finished the original Half Life the other day. I can see why it was such a big deal back then, once I got used to the dated textures I really got immersed in the game. It seems that games of that era were a bit tougher and required a bit more thought and strategy. It's old school but still cool
9/10
And now some games I'd left for a while and finished recently (inspired by this Thread)
Warp
Seriously fun little game with some entertaining puzzles. You're a small alien with the ability to warp into people and objects (and make them explode from the inside) while trying to escape an underwater research facility.
8/10
Alpha Protocol
Thanks to some MyG forum members' comments I decided to give this game a go despite the stories of its lack of polish and bugginess. I'm glad I did. The influence of your actions and words on the direction of the plot was worth any glitchy gameplay, and I actually found that the gameplay wasn't all that bad once you got into it. The boss fights could be frustrating, especially if you had chosen to upgrade stealth attributes (sound familiar?). It was actually because of one particular boss fight that I was stuck on that I stopped playing for a while. All in all, the fact that I may just play through the game again one day to check out the alternative choices speaks for itself.
7/10
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
9/10
Easily one of the most underrated video games of this generation.
That's what she said.
The Dork Knight.
Just Cause 2 - 8/10
Hour upon hours of chaotic fun, and it has an interesting plot as well.
The only 2 issues I have with the game are:
1. Your weapon carrying capacity limitation. Only 2 handguns and 1 "heavy" weapon.
2. The Black Market. If you buy a $30 000 plane now and you wreck it later, you have to buy it again, at full price. Same goes for the weapons. I bought 2 Rico signature hand cannons at $40 000 a pop, ran out of ammo, had to buy new ones
Other than that, it really is a awesome game, your freedom in the open world (and it's BIG) is almost limitless.
Spec Ops The Line 9/10
WoW, first game in a long time that has left me thinking after I finished it. The ending is a real dozy and I will need to play it again before I fully grasp what exactly is going on.
Game has a few niggly bits but its easily overlooked in light of the awesome experience. I highly recommend this for anybody looking for an deep experience rather a superficial shooter.
Vagrant Story (PS1)
9.6/10
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
7.5/10
Quantum of Solace: 7.5/10
A great FPS game set in the James Bond universe. A good mixture of action and stealth. The only problem is that it is very short and took me less than 8 hours to finish.

SpaceChem - 8/10
Cool problem solving title. Even a bit of chemistry thrown in, never a bad thing
