Games I have beaten and my thoughts (if any)
So, I didn't actually beat the Xbox version. I beat it on the 360. You may say that means I didn't beat this game. Instead, I have merely beaten part of Assault on Dark Athena. Well, at least I did play it on the Xbox... it's just that I didn't beat it until now on the 360 with Dark Athena. Plus, it's my list so fuck off!
I hope we see more games like this. A pleasant change of pace.
Popcap have mastered the art of creating addictive games.
This sure was a pleasant surprise. If not for this game, I might think I would never again love a beat-em-up.
I'm ecstatic about the game, not so much about the Card connection.
An excellent continuation of the story.
It's odd that this and Heavenly Sword are similar since they are, in many ways, so different, but the authenticity of the storytelling is present in both. I cared about this story.
This has to rank among my favorite games of all time. It also lead me to appreciate Jonathan Coulton.
The ending is almost as funny and satisfying of that of Portal. Well worth finishing although some of the later levels are punishing. The first time I beat the final boss, it took me over 30 minutes. The second time I did it in three.

I'm at 70 hours of playtime having beaten the main quest but still with lots remaining to do. Do I need to say I love this game?
Very buggy but the atmosphere is unmatched.
This was the first (and is currently the only) game my wife and I beat together. We couldn't wait to get home each day to fit in an hour or two of playtime.
I get excited for the sequel every time I think about the first one. I enjoyed the story in this game as much as almost any other.
This game had it's problems, but I beat it twice in spite of my short attention span.
I'm still playing to finish up a few little things. It is a testament to the addictive nature of the game that I still play it having beaten the campaign.
I'm not a big fan of squad-based shooters, but this has to be my favorite.
I was not expecting this game to be so good. Some missions were a little tedious but there was quality from beginning to end.
This falls apart at the end breaking all the rules the game has set up to that point. I really enjoyed the game except for that final boss battle. It's a shame to throw it all away on that.
This game was full of surprises. Having heard the rumors about more Eidos review-fixing shenanigans, I expected this to be a potent pile of poo. After playing the demo, I was pleasantly surprised. Once I got the actual game, I was even more surprised about how little of the game was actually represented in the demo. As I continued to play the game, I was surprised that it continued getting better and better. Now, to finish off those Riddler challenges...
As the end of the game approached, I felt I was constantly on the edge of death. I wish there had been slightly more payoff. In fact, all you get is the title screen. This may be the best game I have played that costs only $1.
This game is itself a work of art.
This game grabbed me and pulled me through in two sittings. You can't miss it.
I'm very surprised at how fun this game is despite the middling review scores. It's really worth checking out. I now hope for a sequel!
On par with Uncharted 2 as far as cinematic quality but with a pacing that gives the player time to really bask in the wonder of this world. Glad I played the PC version. It was a sight to behold.
I have resigned myself to the fact that I may never fully complete an adventure game without resorting to a hint system or an FAQ. Instead, I find satisfaction in being able to solve at least some of the puzzles without assistance.
A revolutionary experience that I fear will not actually spur any revolution. I hope we see more games like this, but my intuition tells me we will pick back up with more traditional fare. Even as a one-off, this was a very cool experience and a welcome departure. I wish we could figure out a way to interact with objects in a game world without either shooting them or hitting them. This game does that well.
Fantastic Western with some nasty checkpoints. Please, do not place checkpoints right before you take control away from the player for a long dialog scene. This was my warmup for Red Dead Redemption.
What just happened? Seriously, I really enjoyed this game quite a lot. I'm anxious to see what the DLC is like. I hope it is more Fallout 3 and less Mass Effect 2.
I have some really mixed feelings about the ending. It's not that I didn't like it, but it did play with my emotions. Stellar game in nearly every respect.
The Witcher is second only to Mass Effect 2 in my list of favorite RPGs. What a masterpiece! The Witcher 2 also looks amazing.
I would have been incredibly disappointed had I paid full price, but this was excellent for $5!
I loved every minute of the platforming even though some of it was infuriatingly difficult. The combat, however, sometimes felt unfair. I found myself getting stuck in instakill animations or wrestling with poor camera angles. Great game nonetheless.
