I'd have to agree, after a while MW2 does get boring but there's lots of incentives to keep playing. I'm quite close to getting the platinum but when I get that I won't be playing it half as much as I am now. Only when my friends are wanting to play a bit of team deathmatch!

Just waiting till I get AC2 then the all the great games coming out at the start of next year (Bioshock 2!!!!!)

Someone should really put a spoiler alert on this guys! I know it only takes a few minutes to complete MW2 but some peeps don't even have the game yet. (don't worry, you haven't spoiled it for me!)

I hate it when i get more deaths than kills (who doesn't). I think it's just a matter of learning the maps. And something i find is not running around corners, run then stop at a corner then go round prepared for anything!

Good luck to the entries for the psn card!

ngog is pretty good, but his dive against Birmingham to get a penalty was sheer criminal. Awful, awful bit of cheating, but then again what team doesn't have the occasional diver!

looking a wee bit into the future here but a bioshock 2 all nighter would go down well me thinks!!

I think I'll give my opinion which might take a while cause I'm going to review the main games this year, not just the ones at this Christmas time.

Killzone I thought was great although I preferred the online to the single player even though the single player was pretty good! I think Street Fighter 4 has been overlooked but I'm not surprised, it seemed like a game for the elitists instead of those looking for a cheap thrill but for me the artistic style was one of the best this year. 

Infamous was one great original game and I can't wait for its' sequel. The powers were addictive and riding around the city on power lines and gliding around the place was so much fun. Comparing it to prototype I'd say I got bored of Prototype far too easily, the powers whilst fun for a while just got repetitive. Infamous had an amazing balance to it that most games rarely find so it, I think gets a GOTY nomination. Resident Evil 5 was a huge disappointment for me being a Resi fan from the start. It took the success of Resi 4 and painted new maps over the top and gave you an idiotic partner. Epic fail from it, but still fun at points. 

For sports, I think it's just down to personal preference for what sport is your favourite, for me it's Fifa 10 but I wouldn't blame anyone else for picking something else. For these Christmas games my critical analysis is going to be quite limited being that I'm getting AC2 for Christmas and I haven't played Borderlands. Other than that the other main three or four games I can comment on. Taking Ratchet and Clank first it was phenomenal as usual. Especially the Clank puzzles and the space travel were brilliant innovations, but I think for next time they definitely need to shake it up and do something incredibly different or shocking.

Ok, now time for the big two (in my eyes, except for AC2 that I haven't played yet ). Commenting on the stories I have to say that MW2 nicks it, although I never thought I'd say it. It had so many ups and downs and surprising twists. The only downside was that it was too short. Not surprising since Infinity Ward had the amazing multiplayer to design. Uncharted 2 had an amazing story as well and it looks ten times better than anything else on the market. I give my GOTY to Uncharted 2, purely because it was so fun to play and had such a great flow to it. It was more enjoying to play and didn't frustrate as much as MW2 did at points.

Apologies for the essay here, but since I haven't been on for a while I had to get my gaming opinion out somewhere! If you still here, thanks for reading!
