What was the last game you finished?

I just beat FEAR 2: Project Origin

Pretty much the same as the first FEAR game - fun combat, so-so atmosphere/story, and interesting (though linear) level design. The graphics were better in this one, but the NPCs got on my nerves somewhat. Still, I'd recommend both games for the AI and bullet-time shootouts (these are really the only games I've enjoyed this feature in).

Call of duty 2 a few months ago.

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 every possible mission cleared but still playing.

Bioshock a couple months ago. Got it when it was somewhat new and just didn't play it the whole time. It was great!

[Ack]

So after beating Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, I played through both the Spearhead and Breakthrough expansions. Preferred Spearhead immensely to both the original and Breakthrough, which left me having a few screaming fits. Now I'm playing through Pacific Assault, and getting my ass handed to me by jungle combat.

Battlefield: Bad Company

I've been playing it off and on for months now and finally got to the end. A fairly average FPS that is interesting at first but gets more tedious/repetitive in the second half. Fun, but nothing special.

Yakuza 2

[Ack]

I beat Medal of Honor: Airborne a couple of days ago. It had horrendous frame rate issues, to the point I had to run it on the barest possible settings, including setting up a special profile for it in Nvidia's control panel. It's a shame too, as it was actually a pretty interesting game.

At the start of each level, you're given a briefing of what you have to do, and then you are airdropped into a level along with the rest of the 101st, allowing you to basically pick where you wish to start. There are also skill jumps, which you can get by making specific difficult landings(like landing on top of a church spire or through a window. Every level is enclosed, and you're given the freedom to do the objectives in any order, though ultimately a new area will be unlocked that you have to clear of enemies. While objectives tend to be recycled(kill 'x' enemy or bomb 'x' target), they have a little variance that makes it interesting, and the game's pretty short.

I also really like the weapons design. Yes, it's standard WWII fare, but they allow you to pick which weapons you'll be taking in at the start of each level, and there's a leveling system. Kill so many enemies, and you'll get bonuses. Kill more enemies in a row, and you'll get better bonuses, and headshots give you more. So killing five enemies is not as good as blowing through five enemies in a row by blasting each one in the face really quick. There's also a few medals to unlock(though they're not really difficult to get), and so many skill jumps in each level.

Frankly, I liked it. It tried to take a setting that's been done quite a bit and do something new with it, which I appreciated. It's just got its problems, especially on newer computers(the game came out in 2007, yet isn't compatible with SLI at all, for instance).

Someone is on a MOH kick.

[Ack]

Well, I did buy the 10th anniversary pack a couple weeks ago, which was good, because I'd been dying for a first person shooter for a year now. I actually played through Half-Life twice last year, replayed through STALKER in February, and downloaded the free version of Area 51 that the Air Force put out, and did not feel sated. So I grabbed the MOH Anniversary box and now I've beaten all of them. I also bought Crysis, but I'm really not feeling it.

Still, I actually stopped and beat something else earlier today. I bought Legend for the SNES from the B/S/T forum and beat it. It was...interesting. I've got mixed feelings on this little Hack-n-Slash.
