Beat Uncharted 2, I had so much adrenaline pumping during the final boss fight that my hands were shaking afterwards. xD
Damn that game was good. And the part where you're fighting in Nepal, my mom came in and instantly recognized it (she's been there) and started gushing over the graphics and design. The environments are so fucking beautiful <3 it makes me sad that none of the concept art bonuses are unlocked for me.
Speaking of which, my only disappointment with the game is the lack of bonus material as opposed to the first one. All the behind-the-scenes stuff was really neat.

It's there, go to the store on the main menu and buy them. (With the money you accumulated in the campaign)

Oh I love those two <3...well hello there bonus features. I didn't even think to look at the store, cheers.

There are some extra ones on Youtube that I don't THINK are in the game, at least I never found them. But its possible I missed them. But anyway, if I'm right, here's one of them and all the others are in the sidebar. 
They made me really like that whole cast. (Also Emily Rose - Elena - is pretty hot)

Xenogears. I like the battle system, the plot is engaging and Citen is creeping me out with everything he knows. If he wasn't on my side, I'd be worried.
I also think I've been playing FFVII too much; I keep barging into random people's houses looking for items/equipment and there's nothing except for random information that might be useful.

Beldr from Norse mythology (huh? Who's Balder?) has risen from Hel to reek havoc on Tokyo (apparently, he's holding a grudge about being stuck in Hel for so long). So, I have to defeat an immortal, nigh-invulnerable enemy.

So my friend's system link party. Tried doing a 4-box Gears 2 system link, but one didn't work proper, so we dropped that >:
There was a lot of Gears 3 beta
Some 8-player Halo Reach and lots of team changing
A fair bit of Black Ops Zombies and such
Some Forza
And Blur (that's actually quite a nifty little game, as arcade as an arcade racer could ever get while still using cars that actually exist)
Although there was a bit of movie-ing, it was mostly 360 system link games and I'm pretty coo wit dat

Just. One. Battle. To go. Having to level-grind like hell to beat the final battle... and this is on the EASIEST of the endings!! Oye.
Delivered an ass-kicking to Loki (who, happily, uses a doppelganger skill like his counterpart in the Thor film), now stuck on a barricade manned(?) by angels. OK, the angels have back-up from a demon-summoning Hot Amazon commando and a cult's "maiden" (those of you who have previous form with MegaTen games, esp. Nocturne, will understand my reaction to hearing her being referred to as "the Maiden").
On the one hand, as a Christian, I'm somewhat approving of angels being a tougher prospect than a Norse trickster godling. On the other, as a gamer... STOP GETTING BACK UP WHEN I KILL YOU!!!

Brink is such a beautiful game with so much potential going for it despite some glaring flaws
Fuck the reviews, this is the direction arcade shooters need to go in
EDIT: So. I got about 3 hours into Persona 3 Portable and I'm pretty much enjoying the motherloving shit out of it. Being my proper dive into Megami Tensei (besides playing Imagine Online 2 or 3 years back) I figured it was time I found out why the game is like the 2nd highest rated PSP game on Metacritic.
It's easy to see how - while it's not really the most scintillating gaming experience, there's very little that's inherently wrong about it, especially in comparison of form to other Persona games. There don't appear to be very many control issues (aside from, arguably, the dungeon-crawling camera angles), the system was surprisingly easy to pick up, and *most* activities appear to have a purpose in the game, along with the obligatory "go to karaoke to level your Courage statistic",

Inadvertantly lead the world into being controlled by megalomaniacal demon tamers. Oops.
But that's what New Game+ is for, right? Shooting for Atsubro's ending this time around.

Borderlands GOTY.
I have to say that I am having fun playing this, because it does shoot and RPG very nicely and it's a fun world to play in. There's a level of self-awareness in the game which unfortunately takes a back seat against the plot, and I was really quite looking forward to the humour in the game. What comedy there is is nice, but I was really hoping that it would be more at the forefront to make it a refreshing change of pace for sandbox apocalyptia. Things like introducing boss fights ("SLEDGE: P.S YOU GUYS AREN'T FRIENDS") have such a pleasant flippant tone to it that it feels like they could have had more of that in the game and the writers were held back by an environment that was still Fallout-3 depressing despite the vibrance.
All this said, the developers didn't seem to be able to know a difficulty curve if it bit them in the dicks. This is partially because of the concession the game makes to accomodate a persistent multiplayer-attached-to-singleplayer experience, so the story progression is hampered by the general level requirements in the game. Even compared to similar games like Diablo 2 (in terms of SP/MP structure), the enemies scale horribly. In the beginning, the enemies outside the gates are your worst nightmare, but a few hours of questing and levelling later and you can walk past them and ignore them while they attack fultilely in your general direction losing nary a shield point.
And unfortunately it also makes side quests mandatory. The side quests themselves aren't incredibly bad or anything, but most of them are fetch quests or kill x amount of y, and there's an awful lot of two and fro going on that puts an edge of monotony into them. There are certain things like an arena facing up against waves of monsters, which is something fresh, and most quests themselves generally do feel like they have some sort of purpose (like cleaning raptor shit off a turbine with a rocket launcher,), so it's not inherently bad.
The issue is when the player is obligated in an unspoken way to perform these in order to stand a chance with progressing with the main story. Most entries for quests will have something along the lines of "you should be level x in order to proceed through this quest" and as far as stories go it does break the flow of the narrative a bit. Alternatively, I would imagine co-op multiplayer wih the quest would be fairly possible even if you were under the required level, although this brings up the question of whether or not the singleplayer should make multiplayer cooperation mandatory in order to progress, if you are underequipped to do the job alone.
But I like Borderlands. I almost love it. I was smiling a big dumb grin and laughing along with the intro because it set up the atmosphere so effectively. Pandora felt like a world I could really immerse myself into and have a chuckle at the same time, but there's a few things bogging it down that I really hope they could fix for a sequel.

Felt like going through the Suikoden series again. I'd forgotten how short I is(my last save before the last boss was 23: something and I played around a bit, too).
I'm maybe halfway through II now. I went to gamefaqs to check on a certain Rare Finds item, and while reading around I found out about the Matilda gate glitch, which is awesome.
I went to Highway Village and recruited Humphrey and Futch before even setting up the HQ at North Window. I stayed in the area long enough to make the money needed to buy really great equipment at Rockaxe. Whee.
But I really HATE how, in order to complete Clive's sidequest involving Elza you have to rush through the game(20 hours to get to Sajah Village? :/). I mean, you can do it, but it's annoying that you'll have to be focusing on that the whole time instead of, y'know, enjoying the game. So I ain't gonna bother. I think I can see it on youtube or at least read a script somewhere.

Fable III. In terms of gameplay, I was expecting a little more diversity and choices, but eh, it's an arcade RPG.
It does make me grin rather regularly though,. I mean, one moment you have to dress your princess character up as a mercenary with a beard (with many lulzworthy comments being sent your way), the next you run around town in a chicken suit.
Major complaint, not enough lesbians in the game, met only one so far, and she's too old. I am disappoint.
Still, fun game, been playing it for hours already, haven't had a game keep me entertained like that for quite a while,.
