Braid - 9.5/10
Pros
- Fantastic art
- Brilliant puzzle design
- Great music and the fact time affects music makes it even better
- Mind blowing ending
Cons
- Too short, I want more!
- Stars are pointless and stupid hard to get
- Platforming aspects could be better
Geometry Wars 2 - 9.0/10 (though I do like this game better than Braid)
Pros
- Takes everything in Geometry Wars Evolved and makes it better
- Lots of different game modes
- Multiplayer is a fantastic addition
Cons
- You have to unlock all the game modes
- Even if you unlock all the game modes in single player you still have to unlock them in multiplayer
- Don't bother playing on a non-HD TV or a small TV
World of Warcraft 8.0/10
Pros
- Quests flow really naturally and it's easy to just quest all day long
- Nice art direction
- Easy to use interface that is also free to tweak as much as you want
- Doesn't seem to be plagued by gold farmers like other MMO's (or at least as much)
Cons
- It feels like a single player MMO, FFXII pulled that effect better (yes I meant to say XII and not XI). I play MMO's to interact with people and WoW almost seems to discourage that unless you're doing some kind of raid or trying to own a n00b.
- It's so easy
- Confusing stats and attributes
-edit-
Whoops, forgot I started playing WoW again this weekend so I guess that takes up FFIVDS's stop (though I'll still keep that down here)
Final Fantasy IV DS 9.0/10
Pros
- Everything you love about FFIV here
- Increased difficulty is nice
- Voice acting and in game cut scenes are nice
- Correctly translated script
Cons
- Everything you hate about FFIV here
- Boss counterattacks suck
- By fully rendered beautiful CG cut scenes they mean two (I assume two, one at the end and one at the beginning) beautifully rendered CG cut scenes.
- No real new additions
- Multiplayer/Wi-fi is lame
