Dungeon Siege III is almost completed. I stuck with it after a rather uninspired beginning and lackluster first impressions (especially online) to find that it doesn't get much better than mediocre. But the story is an interesting (albeit unoriginal) tale. It has been my pick up and play game for those periods where I didn't have time to really get settled into a proper good game. Once it is knocked off it's down to Game Stop for a trade-in, with a few others.
Mafia II was one of those proper good games. I completed it the other night. And I loved every second of it. It's a beautiful game world with a cracking atmosphere that really pulls you in. Vito, Joe and Henry were brilliant characters. The story could be called predictable in parts, but it was non-the-less a story to enjoy and one that I wanted to see through until the very end. I settled into the vehicle handling like a duck to water and quickly adjusting to the shooting mechanics. I honestly had a problem with neither, after seeing others ragging on them. It's £14.99 at most places now, and probably cheaper at a few others. And that's for the version that comes with the DLC packs as standard.
Crysis 2 is one I have just started on. I got it for my birthday and have really only finished the first level or two. Visually it's impressive. I am hoping the gameplay and story are just as strong.
Baldur's Gate is one I am slowly chipping away at. I have uncovered most of the map south of the Friendly Arm Inn and have completed the Cloakwood Mines, too. Perhaps I shall finally complete it!
FIFA World Cup 2010 is another I've been having a few spins on. I had a long time away from all football games and as a result had to lower the difficulty from Legendary to World Class, where I am still finding it tough. Warming up for FIFA 12!
Demon's Souls is another I have almost chalked off. Only a few more areas to go in the lead up to the much anticipated Dark Soul's.
