    Last game I got was AION CE. Fun and quite different from some other games. Don't really like the idea of pay to play, I may give it up soon. It is fun though.

    I had Modern Warfare on preorde, but I've cancelled it since I heard the news that all serves will be run by them. :( Last games I bought were Company of Heroes anthology and Operation Flashpoint 2.

    Last game i purchased was Dawn Of War: Soulstorm. Really cool RTS game based on the Warhammer 40k universe. Soulstorm is actually the 4th game in the series and added 2 new armies to the collection.
    If you've never played it before there are demos available [its how i got hooked].
    Other than that, City of Heroes: Architect Edition.
    Yep, I'm an MMO Player too.

    The last game I purchased was Halo 3:ODST. Even though it is just an expansion, I believe it is a good value because you get every map released for Halo 3, a campaign and a completely separate multiplayer mode. While the campaign was short, it was a good length for an expansion, and I thoroughly enjoyed the story and presentation.

    Graphics are the best they have been in Halo, although they never have been able to do human faces too well...I really enjoyed the Gameplay enhancements, including the revamped HUD, and I'd say the mechanics are much better than in Halo 3. I wish the Firefight mode (Horde equivalent) had more customization to it. I would love to have enough control that I could fight one hundred grunts unarmed, and then a bunch of Hunters.

    But sadly it's contained to predefined waves of enemies, and an ordered skull schedule. the waves will also continue until you die, so the best you can come to "beating it" is to unlock the achievement for gaining 200,000 pts on each map. Overall I'd give it a 9/10, and I am very much looking forward to Halo Reach (prequel to Halo 1, with many Spartans) If anyone plays on xbox live feel free to add me Mr Panucci

    I'm going to buy Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 soon, but my last game purchase was actually Super Mario World for SNES. Just got it in the mail yesterday.

    Most recently I bought Uncharted 2 for the PS3. Awesome game with a superb story, compelling characters and amazing gfx and physics relative to the hardware! Before that I picked up Arkham Asylum for the PC. Deffinately the best comic book hero game EVER!!!

    Most recently I purchased Prototype , Velvet assassin , CC red alert 3, I took advantage of the madness sale at gogamer.com .. woot .
    My most recent played is Wolfenstien -- still in progress , I like the game and abilities it brings , but as I find with any console port the graphics are lacking .. not too bad tho , I found the game refreshing as a FPS .

    Last game I purchased was SIMS3 for the wife, son and myself. We enjoyed playing it individually! Last FPS I bought was FarCry2. Even with my aging 7900GS, it still played well (DX9, 14x9 19" LCD)

    The last game I bought was Dawn of War II. I can't say that it was the best purchase I have made. The graphics are nice and the gameplay is quite different and entertaining, but I still prefer the old-school RTS style of games such as Dawn of War Soulstorm.

    My last game was Batman: Arkham Asylum. I'm not a fan of batman but I enjoyed the game, very well mix of stealth and action. I wouldn't even think that it through me in but I played it from day to night!

    The only thing bothered me was some game issues in PC platform. Sometimes grapple won't work or the game won't load properly. In last parts of game the problems gets so serious that you can't even finish the game!
    It's a pity. I searched and find no fixes the only solution is to get someone other save game and complete the game, very disappointing:(

    Far Cry 2 for the PS3. Good game with a nive large playing field. It was on special for $49 New Zealand dollars so compared to the usual $120, it was a bargain that I had to have. The price for PS3 games is way too expensive. If they want to sell more, drop the price to $50 and more people will buy them - simple really.

    My last game purchase was Wrath of the Lich King. Considering that I play WoW almost everyday for several hours per day, it was a great purchase. The new content was so much better than Burning Crusade. Maybe that's because I was so sick of the old content and this was just something new but I really liked what was done in Wrath.

    1. The Witcher
    2. Modern Warfare 2
    3. Left 4 Dead 2

    This month has costed me a lot.
  18. My last game purchase was on Friday and it was Left 4 Dead 2 as well. The problem is that all the games I am looking forward to are at the very least a year off. Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, Kane & Lynch 2, and others are all slated for 2010 releases I think. Either way, I hope Left 4 Dead 2 holds me over until then. I think 2009 is going to be a very slow year for games.

    Borderlands, level 6 hunter so far.
    I think the game is definately worth buying if you liked Fallout 3, but wished there was a bit more straightfoward action and less VATS.

    Also Preordered Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time, because I have always been a big fan of the series (played every single one, except the handheld ones). And if I get some money, I will most likely buy God of War Collection (1 and 2 remake), because I never had a chance to play through the ps2 ones.
