Geez I bought one ever 2 weeks or so.. And some of them were stinkers, some where surprises and some where just what I wanted. Just a suggestion I was thinking of compiling an article over the coming weeks and posting it on Australia Day. Anyone else wanting to do the same thing??

I've stuck to games I played for more than a rental period which usually weeds out the shitty games, hence the mostly high scores (and the huge grin on my dial).

Not sure if it was released last year but Ico was also a gem. Played plenty of good solid games on PC like Jedi Knight, Mafia, Wolfenstein, MOH, GP4, but nothing i'd really compare to classics like Deus Ex, Op Flashpoint etc. Totally agree with Metal Gear Solid 2, that was the highlight for mine.

Just a pity it was ultimately flawed by being too easy for any reasonably advanced character. Should mention Morrowind which I was blown away by at first and poured a stack of time into.
