1. Gears 2 - Campaign was run of the mill, and online is basically whoever can spawn camp better with shotguns. Oh man tons-o-fun! (Gears 1=WAY Better)
2. Fable 2 - This one deserved an 7.5 or an 8/10, not a 9. It was kind of short to where my buddy finished it on release day. The storyline was okay, but it wasn't amazing. The gameplay was alright. It definitely didn't warrant the $70 I spent on the C.E. It's sad when I logged in more time enjoying myself in the Pub Games than Fable 2 itself :\
3. Resistance 2 - This game took wayyy too far a step away from its "roots" and consequently didn't really appeal to a lot of fans of the first. It also suffered from "Trying To Be Epic Syndrome", by having every single level filled with 1+ massive fight. Yeah those are fun, but after about 10 60vs1 it gets a little boring :\
4. Fat Princess - I had such high hopes for this game throughout its year of development, only to be extremely disappointed upon release. It's wayyyy too simple to have any lasting value. Essentially its all just auto aiming at people, and then button smashing. Fun for a while, gets old quick.
5. Nothing really stands out, but not so crappy, yet still crappy honorable mentions include: LBP (although that's perhaps more overhyped), Far Cry 2, Star Wars TFU, and BRAID.
Hopefully I have saved at least one person from wasting half the money I did on any of the above games.
