Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
AC: Brotherhood is really good. The inclusion of multiplayer works surprisingly well, and the plot actually moves forward a whole lot even though the game seemed like an extended add-on to AC2. There aren't any new inventions from Leonardo, there isn't any traveling between cities, and the game as a whole feels like it's being held back to conform with the previous game. This is a very large add-on to Assassin's Creed 2, and it's still fun as the rest of the series. If you didn't find the early Assassin's Creeds amazing, this game won't change your mind. If you did find earlier installments good, then you'll have the same feeling for this game.

Rogue Warrior
A game that had a chance to be good, but botched it so bad. It's one of the worst games I have ever played. The worst game around today. Sadly, it's not funny bad, so don't expect to get that out of it.
H.A.W.X. 2
H.A.W.X. 2 is very... weird. When you're playing it, it seems fine. You fly around and shoot things. Neat. Good fun. Afterward, you'll realize you have no clue what the hell is going on in the story, and feel like you haven't really accomplished anything. You never become interested in the story, meaning you're never vying to find out what's going to happen next. It feels better as an arcade game rather than an actual game with a story. Maybe it's because I never had a big affinity for flying games, but I didn't really like this. It probably didn't help that Ubisoft kicked me out of my single player game all the time too, just because my internet is shit.

Civilization 5
Civ 5 majorly improves on past installments. One game can last around 20 hours if you want it to, and it's fun to build up your city and nuke the neighboring enemy. Although the inclusion of multiplayer is a joke, and very poorly done, playing with bots offline is still awesome. If you're even somewhat into strategy games, you will enjoy this game.
Psychonauts
Psychonauts is a trippy and fun game. There are so many different environments you will encounter through the game, and all of them great. No multiplayer and no side-missions makes this game suffer in the replay department, but the single player is too good to pass up. It's colorful, unique, and a breath of fresh air from the many 'gritty' and 'realistic' games. From taming a wild bull to stomping around a city populated by fish, this game is great.
Moonbase Alpha
While not an amazing game by any stretch of the imagination, Moonbase alpha is hilarious. The developers didn't put in anything 'funny' persay (besides microsoft sam reading chat messages), but trolling and screwing around in this game is great. It's free too, so play it. It's better than a lot of other games out there.
Red Orchestra: OST Front 41-45
While it is a very hard game in the worst ways possible, Red Orchestra is still fun. The controls feel like you're wading through mud, and you'll be pissed off that you can't kill anything half the time, but the sheer size of the maps along with the ability to fight with somewhere around 80 people in one server, makes it an interesting play nonetheless. I give it a very tentative 'play' because many may not want to take the time to get acquainted with the.. 'interesting' controls.
Battlefield 2
One of the best games of yesteryear, Battlefield 2 is amazing. A few years may have outdated the graphics by some standards, but the gameplay is still there. Lack of single player may be a downer, but multiplayer is still going. It may not be on its last limbs yet but its time is coming. Until then, this game is great fun, and cheap too.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
While the Single Player may not be all too gob-smackingly great, the multiplayer is enough to hold it up. BFBC2 continues the tradition of intelligently including vehicles in their multiplayer maps. Who doesn't want to fly around in a helicopter killing people? With DLC, map packs, and a huge user base, BFBC2 is a good buy. Until the multiplayer support runs out that is.
Aliens V.S. Predator
A game that could've been decent at some point, isn't anymore. With the now abandoned multiplayer, and disappointing single player, this game is totally useless after a few hours of fun.
