I've kept a list for a few years now. 2012 has about 25 odd.
* F.E.A.R 3 - finished 22nd Jan 15:50. Pointman on Commando (2/4 skill). So short but a nice enough bit of shoot.
* Dead Space 2 - started 23rd Dec, then fully 3rd Feb, finished 9th Feb 19:30. Then got a mod save to get both hard achievements. Enjoyed the game by getting a save where I didn't have to get X kills with Y weapon and that made it loads better because I went straight back to my save later and didn't have to think about shit like that. Still hatin the cheevos. Good game.
* Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Wii. Finished 19th Feb 22:39. Liked it. The create a handle thing was wow.
* Shadows of the Damned finished 23rd Feb 18:40. Good tale, annoying control de-bouncing. Worth the ride. 7.5/10
* Borderlands. Fin main 4th Mar, Zombie Island 5th Mar and I'm done. It's a very dull experience.
* Kane and Lynch 2 finished 12th Mar 2012 16:00. Skill to normal after 3 levels. Bullet sponge annoyance, no variation whatsoever. Not completely terrible.
* Dark Sector - started 12th March, Finished 14th March 17:45. It was alright, better than I expected.
* Fear 2 - finished 19th Mar 5pm. Alma gives you the old captive pants dance, woohoo! It was alright enough.
* Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands started 19th Mar, finished 22nd Mar 21:00 [4/5]. It was easy, some nice platforming. Combat was pointless and some annoying shit where the teleport jump wouldn't work. The 'nice' prince is back but dresses like a pervert and looks like he's got lion face. Some dialogue attempts at capturing the banter of the first which is a good thing.
* Gemini Rue - finished 20th Mar 1:55am. It was ok. It had a nice little plot that's better than a lot of sci-fi junkers out there but as a whole it was a bit of a chore to play. 3/5.
* Army of Two - finished main missions 25th and 2 DLCs 26th Mar. Servers off so no co-op. It was ok, passed the time. 3/5
* Bastion - Meh.
* Army of Two 40th Day - Ok. Only did one mission with Marty. I preferred doing it by myself.
* Medal of Honour Airborne - It was ok. Only really found controls that worked right before the end.
* Saints Row 2 - Finished 15th May. Really liked it even though it was a bit empty.
* Castlevania Lords of Shadow - so fucking annoying. Starting after death and skipping cutscenes defaults to No.
* Fable III finished started 21st Jun 2011, fin 14th Jun, divved around for another 3 days before saying bye. Nowhere near as good as 2.
* Deus Ex: Human Revolution start 18th Jun fin 29th June. Nice atmosphere and music. Left like a PC game, a real game. I sneaked until peeked and still tried not to kill. Pretty good 7/10.
* Mario Tennis (n64) Put in enough hours for it to count. Singles with all characters, special cups with one.
* Paper Mario (n64) started 1st July 17:50 finished 15th Sept ish. Really enjoyed it.
+ 2nd runthrough of Gears 3 with Angel and Scuddy. I think I enjoyed it the most. We couldn't beat the last boss so put it to Normal.
* Rochard (pc) - finished 1st Oct 16:25. Enjoyed it once I'd got xpadder and a controller S working with it.
* Jak and Daxter - started 6th Oct finished 9th Oct 3.03am. Fun at start, bad camera made it almost drag, checkpointing in Citadel a bitch. Glad I played it.
* Jak 3 finished 17th Oct 1am. Angry at first by the constant driving and arena fights. Fucking hate hoverboard, want to fuck Ashelin. Lots of pointless minigames some truly awful checkpointing but at the end it gets satisfying because of the story.
* Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. 2nd playthrough finished 21st Nov. This game has so many mechanics that are almost neglected today. Sometimes you're commanding three squads of three men and if you need to any one of those squads to pin you against a wall so you can't run to cover this game is for you. If you tell them to follow you and you plant a bomb on a big gun and run off they'll sometimes run around that gun like it's a maypole and 8 of the 9 will die. If you need a superfluous pistol that you'll never want to fire and hampers your weapon changes slam down your fucking money and demand this game. Best of all getting the drop on a pair of Nazis who area facing away from you when you're two metres away, you looking down the sights and shooting off a whole drum of Tommy Gun rounds; them turning and killing you - fucking amazing even the third time it happens on the same checkpoint.
Story is great, or at least I thought it was because I couldn't understand half of it and just assume I'm in the wrong.
* Fez finished 4th Dec. Amazing. Got all gold cubes and 27 anti-cubes before being tempted to take a look at solutions.
