What a surprise. This game was really well done and very entertaining. As a huge Batman fan there have been many video game letdowns for the dark knight over the years and expectations on my part were low. The designers and voice talent get just about everything right here. The graphics and environments are awesome. The pacing and tone are spot on. I have some minor complaints about some of the gameplay (unimaginative boss battles and some aspects of the stealth mechanics mostly) but that didn't stop me from having a great time with the game. There's also some major nerd-depth to enjoy with hidden items as well. Well worth picking up.

Very decent but hardly great
Assassin's Creed is really a mixed bag of goods. Some aspects of the game are fantastic (graphics and scope, free running, crowd interaction, etc.) and some are quite awful (repetitive combat and gameplay, bland storyline, overlong cut scenes with bad voice acting, etc.). In some ways this is a 5-star game being wrapped in the clunky weight of a 1-star game. Maybe they'll do better with the sequel.

MGS4 - Completing the series
A superb game to complete the Metal Gear series, though I'm sure we'll see another at some point. I've been a fan of this series since I first played it on the NES. The entire experience of MGS4 is great even taking into account the cut scenes that go on and on (albeit entertainingly) forever. Ultimately I would have liked more time for hands-on gameplay but I have no major complaints about anything here.
