What a great time to be a gamer it is! Last few games I've completed include Batman: Arkham Asylum and Uncharted 2, and now I'm onto the non-stop action extravaganza that is Modern Warfare 2. Batman was a huge surprise, I knew it would be good but how it blended the action/stealth was incredibly smooth. It was just AAA from go to wo and features some breathtaking set pieces. Speaking of set pieces, anyone who's played Uncharted 2 can tell you there are several moments inparticular that really escalated what to now expect from blockbuster action games. If you thought Batman had some impressive scenes you ain't seen nothing yet! More impressive is the character development and how the relationships between the characters play out throughout the game. Nathan Drake is the man!
Modern Warfare is more of the same but as fun as ever, and the inclusion of the Spec-Ops mode looks like it will add some solid single player time ontop of the already impressive campaign.
As good as this game is, and I never thought I'd say this, but I think Treyarch's COD: World at War is still the best game in the COD series and it's campaign absolutely smashes what I've played of MW2 so far (4 hours so quite a bit). MW2 just doesn't seem as gritty, doesn't immerse me as much and the level design is more run-of-the-mill. WOW just did everything right in my eyes and totally nailed the atmsophere.
So I'll probably be playing MW2 up until December when my pre-order of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories arrives (US - Wii version) which I'm really looking forward to being a huge Silent Hill/psych horror nut. I'm trying not to order Sin and Punishment 2 at the same time as I should wait for the US/PAL version (and I also think if I get a new Silent Hill AND Treasure game in the same month my brain will explode from all the awesome) but time will tell...I wonder what other glorious delights await us in 2010...The Last Guardian is one title I am REALLY looking forward to.
Nice Work Sleev, I was thinking about starting a PS3 thread, but this will do nicely.

I am playing Uncharted 2, which is fun, the platformy bits are weaker than say tomb raider, but the characters and action parts make up for it soooo much. Managed to gte it for $50 tahnks to a tag happy Kmart worker! Obviously thought ALL pictures with Drake on the front needed to be marked down! ZING!
Also playing Call of Duty World at War, being a pacific war nut, I couldn't resist the opportunity to play at the invasion of Okinawa. And to have a go at all the guns is great.
Batman was awesome! Gonna have a bash on the hard difficulty now.
I strongly recommend Flower, which can be bought from the PSN Shop. Very cool adn something different. Even the wife likes to play it!!
Oh and on some older consoles, Ico and Shadow of the Colosuss. Both very nice.
How can I play so many games? Very slowly....
Plus Exam time at the moment, so a little bash for relaxation and thats about it....
On a final note, is Wipeout HD worth it? I like Wipeout, but have Pulse on my PSP and I heard that HD was just Jazzed up versions of the PSP games.

I was playing Kingdoms-Of-Amalur.I ended up playing about two hours of this last night and had a pretty good time. The demo was hard to get into knowing that my character was not going to stick with me, but now that I'm actually playing the full game I'm definitely into it.
Dear gamers, especially those that are fans of Doom,
Does anyone know why this novel, the 3rd installment in a 4-part series of Doom novels costs $55 compared to the other novels which only cost like $6!?!?!?!??!
Because they're severely overcharging!
Have a geeze at BookDepository, I'm dead sure you'll find both the 3rd and 4th books there at a way reduced cost; I own the 1st 2 as they're based on Doom: Ultimate & Doom 2: Hell on Earth respectively, the 3rd and 4th aren't bound to any game and go off on their own tangent or so I've read.
Pleases me greatly that someone else is willing to pick these up, I'm pretty lonely in my Original Doom Fanboy status.

So was anyone else crazy enough to order an Oculus Rift or was I the only one here that ordered it?
