I think now is certainly the best time for that to happen as it's quite a weak season for games at the moment with InFamous being the only game to set the world alight, and that's PS3.

Prototype might be good, Red Faction might be good, UFC is great but definitely Marmite.

Finished Saints Row 2 the other day. Quite enjoyed it and lasted quite a while. Not a GTA4 beater though (imho) . Also got Tom Clancy's Hawx yesterday and completed today. So just as well i have Wanted arriving in the morning. Not expecting great things from it but it did get average to good reviews.

If you're wanting that kind of game, InFamous or Prototype might be what you're looking for Kenny.

Nearly platinumed Infamous but i still need that last damn shard! Started buying up cheap second hand copies of the games i missed last year to fill the gaming drought we inevitably have coming, just got mirrors edge in the post today. Looking to also buy Prince of Persia and Resident Evil 5, i reckon those will keep me for a month or two.

Mirrors Edge was my game of last year and Resident Evil 5 is my goty so far in 2009 so good choices! I personally thought that if you ignore its sumptuous looks and engaging free world exploration there were too many mistakes in PoP to make it good though; you can't win'em all.

I heard PoP was average but you can buy it + the expansion for a little over £15 new these days. I'm not of the opinion that every game i play has to be fantastic, just that it has to be priced correctly

Very much looking forward to both Re5 and Mirrors Edge as i thought the demos were brilliant, especially mirrors edge.

Anyone got any other suggestions? PS3 mostly but PC titles will be considered

I enjoyed Prince of Persia. It's no game of the year but I found it good fun Very easy to play too so I found it quite relaxing. I loved Mirror's Edge but it did make me want to chuck the controller across the room a few times

PoP is well worth "a little over £15", especially if it includes the expansion. I haven't played the expansion though. I heard it's difficulty had been ramped up due to criticism of it being too easy but it infact makes the game TOO difficult to the point of frustrating now. So that put me off!

PoP is good though. It suffers repeativness but it's GFX are gorgeous and when you chain moves together it look's superb!
