Playing through Shadow Complex and Left 4 Dead 2 on the 360, only played single player in L4D2 so far(gonna have to play some co-op soon).
Also playing Sam & Max Episode 1: The Penal Zone, Heavy Rain and quite a bit of Uncharted 2 co-op on the PS3.
completed dead to rights the other day one of the most enjoyable games of the year imo.
i got crackdown 2 early on thursday i wish i hadn't.it's rubbish compared to the first one.which is an bloody shame because i was so looking foward to it.
Currently playing Crackdown 2, the Story and Story Missions are pants, but the game itself is so much fun to play that it doesn't matter.

Not surprising, even in the first game, the story was weaksauce. Hell it could be argued that it didn't even have a story. Loved it regardless though.
Yeah in 2 there is a reason for why you are doing it, but it isn't developed or anything, you get told at the beginning what you have to do and then never hear about it again. The worst thing is, much like in the first game, every story mission is the same. Doesn't matter though, the game is too much fun for me to care, especially when you master the Glidesuit.

Sweet, If the co-op is good I'll be all over that games nuts. Should be getting the game in a couple of weeks.
Playing Red Dead Redemption and Need For Speed Shift. Thought i would buy need for speed and see it was like as i love racing games. I had the Grid but i was very disappointed with it, good graphics's but the AI was all over the place and the controls didn't like them. So far am really loving Need For Speed Shift, glad i took the risk in buying it. Played the older Need For Speed games on different formats but always felt they were all lacking something till i played this new one

Currently playing Wet. I spotted the demo on the PS Network and downloaded it. The demo was pretty cool, so I scoured the bargain bins and found a copy of it. It's very stylish in look and soundtrack, the graphics are good enough to do the job and suit the artistic style well, it's not like I'm a graphics snob (I grew up playing games like Manic Miner on a B&W portable telly, so pretty much anything beyond PSone levels of pretty is a constant source of wonder to me). The controls are... imprecise, at best. Gameplay starts out with you thinking "This game FRIGGING ROCKS!", but soon dials down to a more considered "Is that the only trick you've got?", interspersed with occasional mutters of "Quick Time Events? Really? What is this, 2005?". Overall, a 6.5 out of ten, reduced to a 5 if the looks and sountrack aren't your thing. (Being a fan of 70's action flicks really helps.)
I'm playing Infinite Undiscovery now. I rushed through it last year and now I'm after achievements.
Unfortunately some will take AGES to get - Getting the maximum amount of money for example. and having to do 3 seperate playthroughs....
I like my RPGs, but usually after finishing one I have to leave it a year or so or apathy sets in. So 3 playthroughs is gonna be tough! Item creation takes up too much time on this game, crafting materials for more materials...
I do like the game in general though, plays a lot like Star Ocean:'til the end of time on Ps2 (made by the same company) with real time combat, and plenty of characters to wander around with. You can only control the main character, whilst "connecting" to other party members and issuing special attack commands.
Wish me luck!
