I don't want to set a goal, other than to play through a good portion of games bought on Steam. And to finally sit down and finish Jade Empire.

360 [01/12] - Anti-climatic ending, too many gadgets (never thought that'd be a bad thing), and side missions are too sparse. Somehow the combat, while perhaps better flowing than previously, just isn't my favorite. Plot-wise, things just seem to be missing - why was Harley tied up? what did Two-Face actually take from Catwoman? - but the problem is that I really don't care to find out. [4/5]
PC [01/12] - For what it is, I had a remarkably good time. [4/5]
XBOX [02/12] - Mediocre in many regards, not that bad in a few others others. Antiquated, yes, but playing this made me realize how much Red Dead Redemption got the Western 'right.' [2/5]
360 [02/12] - For all the problems with the campaign (boss fights, closed environment, lack of characterization), the ride it takes you on is still a blast. Just not a blast to write home to. [3/5]
360 [3/12] - Climbing is terrible, character models are horrendous, and the ending puts a bad taste in your mouth. But, there's something here that is fun. It's just a shame it feels incomplete and rushed. [2/5]
360 [3/12] - I loved the original and what Starbreeze did with it, and was skeptical with what the Dark Sector team could do (I did enjoy what that game was). The Darkness 2 is the best FPS I've played in the past year. Astoundingly beautiful both in loud and quiet moments, and surprisingly funny even with its gay jokes (rare? and debatable). This game left me completely surprised (except for the ending, foreshadowed entirely too much). Wow. This is what Syndicate should have been: fun and well-acted. [5/5]
360 [3/12] - Never have I spent as much time on a game as this one. Never. And while it lacks a fulfilling Dragon Age-like story, what it does scramble up has some charm, especially the faction quests. Luckily that's not why I kept coming back. This is: the combat is spectacular. The lush scenery keeps evolving, making the mandatory exploring at least somewhat bearable. This is not for everyone, I acknowledge, yet I can't help but say, wow, this game is great. (All side and faction quests I encountered are done - 195 completed. All lorestones collected. Total time: 85:18:24. Now on to the DLC.) [5/5]
360 [5/12] - Okay. Let's disregard the last hour of the game. ME 3 is a good game, but only because of it's interactive story. ME2 was the best game in the series because there was so much to lose. ME3... it tries to show how much there is to save, but fails in its delivery. The story as a whole escapes logic. It's more of a quick farewell than a engrossing goodbye. [3/5]
360 [5/12] - Quite possibly my favorite driving game this generation. Goofy and wonderfully implausible. [4/5]
PC [5/12] - So more of a partial completion, since the last two chapters still aren't out and I have a feeling it's going to take them a while. Definitely, for me, it's a must-play. It's just slightly annoying with its puzzles, especially the last one which has you mixing a drink. I have hope that the game will end well. [3/5]
