God of War series.  I was impressed with GoW 3 so I bought the God of War Collection to play the first two.  They're all really awesome!  Lots of button mashing, but also some puzzles and lots of enemies.  Very cool game.

Just thowing a few things out there... I try to enjoy games as much as possible. (even though they aren't as well made as they use to be)

I played through Medal of Honor on my XBOX360 and it was fairly fun... not the best.  I am currently playing Call of Duty: Black Ops, and that is pretty freakin awesome.   Not a big console kind of guy, but I modded the system and it's kind of fun to just sit around on the couch and play games. Smiley (big screen/home theatre kind of fun)

Not too much to say on the PC market as of right now... Minecraft is pretty fun for an Indie type game, fairly addictive. (and time consuming)  The Ball is is a pretty fun puzzle type game.

I can't wait for something new and awesome... I may be holding my breath for awhile.


Interesting considering Black Ops doesn't come out until next Tuesday Shocked  I guess your xbox 360 is really modded....to the point you probably don't want to connect online with it Wink Wink 

Here are my current favorite games that I've invested some time into.  Some are oldies but goodies:

Xbox 360:
Halo Reach - Spent a good deal of time on this one...but it's growing old.  Would probably get back into when the XIM3 get's released.

COD4 - Picked this up for $13....also have it on PC.  Worth a few hours of play to boost my gamerscore

COD5 - Got this for the zombie CO-OP action, but found the campaign to worth the price of admission.

PC:
Blacklight: Tango down - Picked it up from Steam for $7.50.  Multiplayer only, kind of intense gun fighting, cool atmosphere (think Blade Runner).  Would be awesome if it had a single player campaign.

Batman: AA GOTY Edition - Also got it from Steam for $13.  Well worth the super cheap price. 

Gears of War - Snagged this back in July once MS released it as a GFWL download.  Way better than the xbox version.  Single player is worth playing for some cheap fun.  CO-OP mode is decent, but the rest of the multiplayer modes are ho-hum and hardly anyone plays. 

Half Life 2 - I know what you're thinking...WTF?  I've had it in my collection for at least 5 years and never finished it.  Replaying it now to get the steam achievements and to enjoy a classic.

I've also got at least another 100 games in my backlog that could use some attention.  So many games...so little time

I don't know is any one here has given Gothic 4 a shot but its ok and the pc version is a hog as any modern game is. Cough cough better have a good quad or its lag on any card. Got a GTX460 that I have to nuke to 850mhz just to be playable.

Half life was one of those landmark games, I remember playing it when it first came out and thinking wow. Half life 2 had a lot to live upto and didnt.

Hmm interestingly I used to think the same about Halflife, but playing that game again it really wasn't all that great actually. I thought Halflife 2 with both episodes were one of the best games ever made. Smiley

I agree. Half Life 2 was much better. But it's quite normal - Half Life appeared in 98 and HL2 appeared in 2004 - 6 years later.

The graphic in HL2 is awesome, the pshysics are incredibly good.

IMO, best games appeared in 96-98, when 3d acceleration appeared.

But they evolved until 2006-2007, then it stopped, almost nothing interesting appeared, because consoles gained too much popularity (XBOX 360 and PS3).

Now we have GTX480, but no games to take advanced of it. We have i7 CPUs, even with 6 cores and 12 threads. We have PhysX. But no game is better in PsysX than HL2...

Crysis was the last game that had very good graphics, nothing else better appeared since 2007 Sad

Too true, isn't that funny.

And the next best thing graphics wise (IMO) is again Crysis (2) coming up. Although ID's new engine is very impressive as well.

Crysis 2 will NOT have very good graphics. I played the "alpha" version on XBOX 360 and it was quite shitty Sad

Maybe the final version will be better and the PC version will have better graphic, but it will still be worse than Crysis 1 - I can bet anything on that.

As for id Tech 5 ... it will have some nice things, but ... that's all. Last good looking id engine was Quake3, Doom3 was way too artifical - exagerated bump mapping and shadows.

Right now UT3 has the best graphics, but HL2 looks much natural, I remember some maps... you are under a concrete bridge - the graphic looked almost like you were there - the concrete texture, the muddy water looked like in real life.

+1

I liked HL2 a lot. The pshysics, the graphics, even the story was great.

Compared to the original, really! I guess you had to be there when Half-life was released. HL2 game of the year, must have been a poor year for games  Wink
Good graphics don't make a good game.
