Good god that was painful. First half it is a good game but the second half is a mess.
I beat the king by standing there and just shooting him. Enemy AI is rubbish (I stood in front of them and they didn't move) and the bugs (10000 health and 10000 armour)
Just play the first half then uninstall

Just finished Kung Fu Strike: The Warriors Rise.
28 levels of fun, at times extremely fun, brawling, but also ridiculously hard and frustrating. I had 27/28 levels beat at nearly the 6 hour mark. The last boss (ohhh, that bitch) took me nearly 3 hours of dying and retrying to finally best her.

I just finished System Shock 2.
I played the demo about 10 years ago, and loved it, but couldn't find an affordable copy until now.
It was even better than I had hoped it would be. Absolutely great game. It just moved in to my top 10 favorite video games ever.

I just completed Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil as part of the BFG Edition for Doom 3. It was a fun expansion overall and the graphics still look good to this day. It took some getting used to handling the "old-school" mechanics of the enemies not getting pushed back when they get shot but still live.

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim - Dawnguard - Feb 19 - 9/10
************* POSSIBLE MINOR SPOILERS *************
I actually finished Dawnguard a while back but I wanted to experience both factions and fully explore the Vampire and Werewolf perk trees before make a judgement. I have to say that with these implementations I finally found myself a powerful werewolf and a beast to be feared. In the vanilla he was so weak that I didn't bother to use it. As a Vampire Lord with the Full perk tree earned you really are a powerful creature of the night to the point that I was able to defeat a named Dragon Priest with it. Obviously I had more trouble against fire based enemies but still it was enjoyable. Regarding Dawnguard main quest I have to say that you could experience both factions, but the major difference between them is in the radiance quests. For the long run you should choose the side that best suits you, meaning, if you are a guy that like playing as a vampire a try to turn as early in the game as possible, you should go with the obvious choice. On the other hand, if you are more like me, that enjoy experience things for a while and keep your char "clean" then the obvious choice is siding with the Dawnguard. And let's not forget the improved Crossbows you get from them ^^. I also like to say that I also enjoyed more the Danguard faction radiance quests. Overall this was an amazing experience that last a long time (many, many hours, can't how many for sure, sorry) and let's not forget this was a DLC, and I have to say, this is what a DLC should be.

Just added Deponia to my list last night, very good modern point and click from Daedic, the main charcter, Rufus reminded me of a nihilistic, irresponsible, egotistical Guybrush Threepwood, interested original IP with some fresh ideas, nice characters and fair, logical puzzles with about the right amount of challenge - good game!

Yay, I finished my first two games of 2013. I would have finshed some before but I lost my saves from the last mission of Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and I lost halfway saves from Shadow Warrior.
So it took until now to finish my first ones and coincidentaly in two days.
On Sunday (17.2.) I finished XCOM:Enemy Unknown. I have to say I am bit disappointed by this one. I liked it much less than original games and maybe even bit less than UFO:Afterlight. Almost every single change they did from original was for worse. Base builiding, research, interceptions, scanning for UFOs, unit development, panic progress, objective based missions, sizing down teams and making maps more streamlined, cover system and flanking, backpack and ammo, enemy spotting and their activation and even new action system was worse than previous one in my opinion, but I got used to this and and it's not really complaint.
Thing it got right was probably atmosphere and of course graphics.
Also the story is good but the last mission was quite meh and it absolutely screamed for alternate ending or at least better done ending. The game is preparing you for some big event at the very end and then it just fizzles when you get there. "Muhehe, you fell for my diabolic plan and now I will use the plan to reverse your victory and bring doom upon you. Oh you killed me? Nevermind then. You won."
Overall I enjoyed the game, but there was too much frustration (bad frustration) and too many moments where I regretted they did things this way.
I think I would rate this game 7/10 and maybe I am bit too lenient to it.
Day later (18.2.) I finished LEGO Star Wars: Complete Saga. I palyed this one as coop with my girlfriend and it took us years to finish it. Sometimes we forgot about it and two times we lost all saves and had to start over. Finally recently we played through story mode together. Since then I was hunting packages, challenge packages, red bricks and golden bricks and on Monday I finally achieved 100% completion. This itself shows I liked the game, because its very rare for me, to try to achieve 100% after I finish story mode.
The game is just fun and good relaxation and in coop its much better. "Acidentally" kill or get killed by your partner was fun and we laughed through the game a lot.
It has some problems as stupid cam, sometimes stupid switching between characters, unability to split screen so you always have to follow the other player or fists being better than lightsaber, but these things don't really hurt the gameplay much.
Also the prequels have shorter maps and usually were more enjoyable as the orginal trilogy has sometime purposely obstructive gameplay to make it longer.
I would rate this one 8.5/10 and recommend it (or other LEGO games) to all as good choice for coop game.
Link to full list. You don't need to click it as it doesn't contain nothing else than these game.
I also remembered that I forgot Botanicula last year so I added it now to the old list. It is very cute, optimistic and relaxing game, but it's very short and easy. It's more of toy than game.
This one gets 8.5 as well, because I was really looking forward to each session of this game (I played it with GF as well). Dedcuted points are for length.

Major Mayhem
Just Finished the "Main" Story, or as it's called classic mode. It didn't take me that long to finish the main story line. But that said I didn't do a completionist run on the game. There are three more modes, Time Attack Survival and Arcade. Time Attack you try to get max point in one Minute. Survival where you try to survive an onslaught of enemies until you die. And Arcade where you run thru random levels trying to get a highscore.
It's a fun little game, took about 5 hours to finish the main quest (with breaks to fill my coffee cup, and go to the bathroom included). It plays like a cartoon version of a mix of Time Crisis (the first one) and Zero Point.
The game start with the President calling you into his office and tells you that an Evil Guy is planning to destroy the world, and he kidnapped your Girlfriend. So you run of to "fight" his henchmen over 45 levels, spread over Three areas.
There is a few bugs still in the game, but they don't hinder the games (those I saw). they were more cosmetic bugs.
