Bought Portal 2.

Multiplayer's very fun, but it just ends with screaming at each other.

Mass Effect 3

Mass Effect 3 was a gripping, thrilling piece of sci fi right up until those final five minutes in the story.
It's funny how Bioware managed to fuck up every little detail that made the Mass Effect series so outstanding with an ending rife with inconsistencies and plotholes that went against the very nature of the game.
Fans have been bitching about it, writing to the feds, sending the company frakkin' cupcakes in some sort of petition to change the ending - it's ridiculous.
What's worse is that from its release, the game has had game-destroying bugs that won't be fixed until April 10th - and I'm talking bugs from causing the game to crash upon loading to individual face codes being left out of the mix so that the guy you've been having this journey with is now something akin to The Thing…it looks similar to your guy/girl..but there's something off about him/her.
So yes, Bioware has been pretty shitty in that department but the game itself - right up until that silly ending - was some breath taking stuff.

Also been playing some Rayman Origins and it's a gorgeous, addictive platformer. I've been playing co-op with my lady and it's been a blast.
I adore how clever the level design is, how it forces you to calculate a certain jump or how you need to scale the environment in times where you have to run for your life - fantastic stuff.

^i played Rayman on my own and loved it for the design, the hand drawn loveliness and f*ck me the music is incredible! Some of those levels are so challenging, the final level must have taken me 40 tries to get it right

i bought Silent Hill Downpour and the Silent Hill Hd collection

What are your thoughts on Downpour, man? I got it a week early before it came out here off ebay and It's been a blast.
I think one of the things it does beautifully is the ambience - the new music by Daniel Licht is some terrific work worth mentioning.
The gameplay is a little clunky but that's always been the case with Silent Hill games - to render you pretty useless up against the beasties - so it does its job in being frustrating.

Put aside Silent Hill to go back and unlock the last world of Rayman Origins and fck me, i was getting my arse handed to me. I loved the challenge very much so but it must've taken at least 60-70 tries to get through some of those sections - and there's youtube vids of these guys doing it in one run without dying...god, that is just astonishing. But yeah, can't praise it enough. Brilliant, brilliant stuff.
