Fantastic list. Just in interest of Steam's weekend deal, Metro 2033 is 50% off. I personally haven't played it yet as it's still downloading, but it might be something worth looking into.
Metro 2033 is definitely worth picking up for 25 bucks. Its about 8 hours long, and is simply amazing. It takes place in the nuclear apocalypse, but isn't as campy as Fallout 3. The story is really awesome too, and the characters are memorable. Its highly underrated, well at least to me it is.

Anything that you put into a console and that involves using a controller to move the charcter.

It looks like you got the best of the best on there. But you forgot one of my favorite horror games of all time. Eternal Darkness on the gamecube.
Already played it. It's the only survival horror game I've ever played, which is why I'm going on this binge.

red dead redemption has kept me completely occupied for the last few weeks. The immersion is great and I have been having a lot of trouble dragging myself away from it.

Well good luck sleeping after playing all of these.

Red Dead Redemption and Transformers War For Cybertron

I've already got over 90 hrs in on RDR just in the single player mode and haven't finished the main storyline. I just start hunting and the next thing I know five hours have passed and I'm 6-10 K richer (even though the money is worthless in it lol). I actually just signed up for XBL gold today to start playing it online (which is something I never do, but I love the game so much I feel I need to)

Transformers is looking like the game I've been wanting since 1984 and I'm sure I'll play it over and over again just to find easter eggs that I'm sure will be in it for us oldtime fans. That's not to mentio that it's another game I might play online, I guess I need to DL the demo and try it out.

Oh and if you see this @Xeno, I picked up Clive Barker's Jericho for 5.99 at Gamestop today, so I'm sure you can find it cheap no matter where you are.
