I haven't, no, but the last 3-d monkey island was rubbish imo so i've been put off completely. Is this one an improvement or does no one know yet?

Played and completed both Thief and Thief II, they are indeed two of the best games i've played.

I've never actually played Toejam and Earl D:

Anyone played the Persona series? More specifically Persona 4? If so, thoughts?

Persona 2 is brilliant

Weird but great. Not played the others though.

Company of Heroes on PC.
Grand Theft Auto, well there's a whole bunch on various platforms but III on PS2 and IV on XBOX to get you started.
Okami on PS2.
Gran Tourismo III on PS2.
And then there's the Will Wright phenomena - Sims3 and Spore.

Despite finishing Rainbow Six Vegas on Veteran the second is one of the very few games I've played that bored me so much not only didn't I finish it, I didn't even get half way.

My list of must haves:

360:
Dead Rising
Crackdown
The Darkness
Bioshock
Mass Effect
Blue Dragon
Tales of Vesperia
Lost Odyssey
Test Drive Unlimited
Resident Evil 5
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Viva Pinata
Fable 2
Gears of War 1 & 2
Mirrors Edge
Bully: Scholarship Edition
Assassins Creed
GTA IV
Amped 3
PGR4 <<<<< Can't believe no one else has mentioned this!

on XBLA:

Geometry Wars 2
Pac Man CE
Braid

Wii:
Super Mario Galaxy

Also not relevent to this list don't forget you can pick up Dash of Destruction (XBLA) for free... It's good for a couple of hours, honest!

360 = UFC & Forza 2.

PC = Battlefield 2.

I wouldn't even bother gaming any more these days if it wasn't for these 3 games.

PC
Company of Heroes - Opposing Fronts
Portal
Audiosurf
Homeworld 2 - Old but Gold
Unreal Tournament 3 - Black Edition (Steam Weekend Special Only)

Depends if you want mods included in the PC Section or not but I would argue that there are a fine selection of mods and conversions that breath life into old game engines.

Desert Combat - (BF1942)
Hidden: Source
Desert Conflict - (BF2)

Can't really add much to the console section as a lot of great games have been added

I played it through in co-op and it was awesome.

It has a similar control system to the last one - you can either use the cursor keys to walk around (and hold shift to run), or you can hold down the mouse button and move the mouse in the direction of travel. Alternatively, you can click or double-click on an object and Guybrush will walk or run to that object.

Only the first chapter has been released so far but I enjoyed it immensely. The graphics are hugely improved and the way the 3D environments move about as you walk is quite impressive. My only criticisms are that it's possibly a touch easy, and there's not enough useless random objects to click on for lols. I especially liked one of the puzzles which required you to listen out for noises rather than just making it visual.

Don't forget Flower and PixelJunk: Eden

I know they are PSN games but two of my favourite games ever made.
