Killing floor - a highly enjoyable alternative to left 4 dead for playing with a group of friends on voice chat, fun gameplay, (aside from being a coop survival style game against monsters, totally different to left 4 dead no matter what it may appear ostensibly), however suffers from some slight bugs with headshots, some perks being blatantly overpowered and some being impossible to level up, and a distinctly unenjoyable game without at least 1 friend to play with.
8/10 to give it a (largely arbitrary) rating.

Halo Wars : 8/10
Boring single player campaign, entertaining in skirmish mode. Great fun online with friends.

The last game I bought was a bundle pack of 5 PS2 games for £10, since I'm still playing my PS2 on account of having no PS3.
In the bundle was:
Sly 2: Band of Thieves: If you're a platformer lover, Buy It. It's far too much fun, and is certainly challenging as the game progresses. As a number, I'd say around 8, maybe 9.
Valkyria Profile 2: Silmeria: I didn't like this. I'm an RPG fan, and I admit that there's nothing wrong with change, but I just couldn't get into the game. Only the graphics impressed me, and that's not enough for me to warrant a recommendation. I'm going to refrain from giving the game a number rating as I confess that I sold it pretty soon after trying it, and didn't finish the game, so any rating would be a bit pointless.
Just Cause: Awful. Pure garbage in every sense of the word. So what if there's a massive map to traverse and multiple ways to do so if the gameplay is so bad? Avoid, avoid, avoid. I'd give it around 2, possibly 1 1/2, but that's being generous, methinks.
God Hand: Lots o' fun. Much like Devil May Cry, its not just an out-and-out brawler - you need to get into a rhythm of dodging, fighting back and using the special moves. The game also gets points for featuring a special move where your character kicks his enemy in the testicles, causing them to collapse, their face turning purple with lack of air. Very difficult, but satisfying. 7.
Viewtiful Joe: A brilliant game. Fun combat, awesome visuals, great sounds, and some fantastic set-pieces, such as making a bus fly through the air via use of slow-motion effects. The game makes very little sense, but it far too much fun to criticise. Another game which is difficult, but once you get into a pattern, you can do it. 8 or 9.

Last game I got is Infinite undiscovery.
Admittingly there are plenty mouths full of clyché JRPG story writing and character development, but when it all came down to it, I was taken in and enjoyed the games story, combat and got attached to some of the caracters. So ill give it a 7, tho a weak one.

Prototype, definatly a 9. It's just pure fun, slicing and dicing through a truly choatic New York. GTA4 eat your heart out, GTA's 'NY' almost resembled a graveyard compared to Prototype, I trade GTA's shiny graphics for Prototype's smooth running chaos any day of the week.
Chrono Trigger DS
I'd have to give it a 9 out of 10.
Whilst I've never played a game with that kind of story and the characters are all interesting and connect well it falls into the annoyance that is Square-Sidequest-Itus. Upon receiving an item that could unlock a load of boxes that were scattered throughout time I quickly checked gamefaqs to check the relative merits of choosing one item over another to only find that I had missed a load of once-only opportunities throughout the game that it had never hinted at.
I understand that this has happened before when I've played other Square games but it still pisses me off that I'm near enough required to play through their games with a walkthrough at my feet.
Side Note:
I understand that there were better weapons in the game but don't even get me STARTED on that bloody 'don't open a certain random set of boxes to get the good spear' in Final Fantasy XII.

UFC Undisputed 2009 - 6/10
Good enough, not much depth, THQ dropped the ball on letting players quit from online ranked matches without penalty. I've gotten in to dominant positions or been about to lock in to submissions several times and I haven't gotten the win because all the people who play online are trying to protect their records.
Not bad for playing online against people I know though, I've had a good couple of matches with buddies who have the game.
Will eventually destroy my controller, has a control scheme in the vain of Mario Party.

Persona 3 FES= a 9/10, The night time battles go very smoothly and the AI learns to a certian degree.There is only on very long dugeon with about 244 floors that are randomly generated, but the separte blocks are varied enough to keep it intresting.
The dating /life sim aspect is good but when it comes to the female reltionships they all have to end in romance and breaking up with one girl effects your ability to use the powers assotited with that arcana. Overall a very immersive JRPG.

Prototype: 8.5
Great game, great everything. Only thing that hinders it is being a beefed up Hulk:UD. That said, if you never played Hulk:UD, buy this game NAO!

I just recently bought Legend of Zelda: Collector's Disc, it has Legend of Zelda, The Adventures of Link, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. I think that deserves an automatic 10/10.
I recently downloaded Paper Mario 64 on my Wii. It is a great Rpg, I would probably rate it 8 or 9 out of ten. The graphics are still nice looking for nintendo 64 and overall it is a very good game.
