NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits (WiiWare).
Bit of old-school difficulty there, with modern physics thrown on top. Weird mix, yet just the right side of frustration. Decent graphics, too.

Mirrors Edge
I would say it was a short game, as it was, but I tinhk its length was just about right - any longer would have dragged. Top game.

The last game I completed was The Saboteur on Sunday, not looking forward to all the extra white dot things though...  :o

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (PS3)

Plays very similar to what I remember of the PS2 original. Lots of lovely big, colourful levels with plenty of detail and all the loading times are well hidden behind cinematics. Not the most difficult game but good fun from start to finish. I'll probably pick up one of the newer ones at some point.

Did Darksiders a few days ago. Cracking game! (Wrote a review of it here: http://www.anna-ghislaine.com/game_darksiders.php )

The Curse of Monkey Island (SCUMMVM/PC).
Had to consult a walkthrough a few times. Obscure solutions!

Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (Wii).
There should be three more levels to play, but I'll be damned if I'm making myself get three crests per level to unlock them! Not with those waggle controls, anyway.

Still, totally excellent, recommended, A+++, would use again.

Portal: Prelude (PC).
Hard. Wasn't quite worth it.

Also, I'm hoping the robotic voices are due to some nefarious AI plan, rather than the result of someone running the dialogue through a Speak and Spell. It's too comical to accidental, suuuuurely...
Nope, turns out it's just bad by accident. Well, to be fair, the developer is French; but then, why make a Portal mod that has people in it?

It has occurred to me that I hardly ever have anything to post in this thread.  Does that mean I am crap at games or simply that I don't play them enough?  Sometimes I am not sure.
Even with my eyes open; I still can't see a thing....

First God of War. Yay. When I first got it I gave up in the trapdoor lava passageway after the centaur room.

Metro 2033, loved the game. Will be getting the book next, just to see how closely it follows the source material.
