Sure, someone half-heartedly pointed out the fact that the main dude’s mullet looked eerily similar to Snake’s, before getting hushed out of the room, [...]

Mini Reviews:

Icewind Dale - 7.8/10. It's Baldur's Gate Lite. So very enjoyable and refreshingly old school, when it works.

God of War III - 8/10. Often spectacular to behold and experience but can be tedious, while controls are unresponsive.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - 6/10. Some fantastic platforming but weak combat and very uninspired overall.

Uncharted 2 - 8.5/10. Even better the second time. Beautiful and fun with weak platforming and plot.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light - 8/10. Fantastic time. Fun, tight. Multiplayer is dead.

Fallout: New Vegas - 9/10. Pleasant surprise of the year.

Dark Messiah of M&M's - 5/10. Lots of potential but clunky and endlessly frustrating.

Bastion - 6.5/10. Fresh, gorgeous but tedious and somewhat bland in gameplay.

Trine - 7/10. Decent, gorgeous but repetitive.
