Just finished Xenoblade Chronicles and the day I before I started playing that I finished Skyward Sword, at the moment I am not playing any game.

Xenoblade Chronicles:
I only played the main story even thou there are loads and loads of side quests and stuff to do. I never really experimented any with the game as characters can interact a lot etc, there's a lot more to the game than just the main story and I really enjoyed the game even if it took about 15 hours before I understood everything in the game and I learned something new all the time while playing.
The only minus I really can come up with was the cutscenes, some of them were way too long. Some of them I didn't matter because they were like anime battles after defeating a boss and some were pretty crucial to the story as they explained history of the universe etc but some were just ranodm mumbling about defending your friends which they had done already 5 times in the game.

Skyward Sword:
My new favorite Zelda game.
Seriously loved the game and the way the story was new. Zelda actually plays a role in this game, the twist with her guardian. The new villain, Gihrahim (or how it's spelled), is in the top of my villain list, loved him. How you can pull pararells to continuity in the zelda universe from the Final Boss to earler games like OoT, MM etc if you want to was also a nice touch. Can't say there wasn't much I didn't like about the game.

If you're still having some trouble, and you're decent with parrying, I've found that when he swings once, half of the time, the sword will be to YOUR right, and he'll raise his other hand for a 2-handed swing. If you press RT/R2 as soon as his other left hand touches the hilt, you should parry the attack. It still takes a while to kill him, though. I had a Black Knight Sword +5, and it still took me 6 or 7 riptoses to kill him.
i managed to kill him yesterday through the combination of iron flesh, havel's armour and sunbro solaire.

Dragon Age : Origins.
I must say i'm deeply disappointed. I expected spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate Saga and all i got was one big, predictable, cliched remake of NWN2. I'm still shocked. :|
A remake of NWN2? that statement makes no sense to me. I honestly can't see how you could feel that way. I do agree that neither are as like Baldur's Gate that I'd hoped, but they were different in different ways.
Well, both games share too many similarities for my taste. Scenario, course of action, classes, micromanagement... IMHO DA should be called NWN3. :)
I suppose I can see where you're coming from...

Also, I really wish they did another forgotten realms game instead of making a new IP with Dragon Age. I would have enjoyed it much more, even if it was the same basic story with the same origins and all that.

I just love the forgotten realms setting.

I bought Neverwinter Nights 2 for the same reason I got DA:O, but I can play it anytime on my Laptop. I must say that it's not as good as I'd hoped, still very good though, it's just not engaging enough, it's hard to make a truly unique character I find. But that's about it. very good otherwise.

The OC's are shitty for the NWN games. The expansion Mask of the Betrayer expansion is REALLY good. (writing and story wise)

Also, some good modules at the NWN vault.
http://nwvault.ign.com/fms/TopRated.php?content=nwn2modulesenglish
I had a look at that and downloaded one or two which weren't bad. But that site really confused me. I wasn't sure which ones I could use since I only had the base game with no expansions. I was really looking forward to that part of the game, also making my own modules but I never could find how to do that either....

Any recommendations of modules to download? Keep in mind I only have the base game, if that makes any difference, I dunno if it does...

I've managed to circumvent my boycot of Ubisoft games by finding a friend who bought Anno 2070 and am happily playing his copy. Great game, I'd love to buy it if it weren't from Ubisoft. It's a fun city building sim with an accessible learning curve and a fair bit of complexity under the surface.

Final Fantasy VI, because 5 bucks is a good deal on PSN for this gem, and i can play it on my PSP and (hopefully) on my (yet to purchase) Vita.

And the Syndicate demo.
I don't know why i love it, it's only one level, not much special stuff going on,
but i love the teamwork/hacking/shooting/Deus Ex lite....
*closest he'll ever be to a genuine good GitS game*

Metal Gear Solid 3, the HD Collection version. As a matter of fact I just finished it. When I first played MGS3 in 2005 I think, I was simply amazed with it. Now that I played it again, I discovered a few alarming resemblances with a game that never liked: MGS 4. The same lengthy cut-scenes, the same convoluted, or even absurd plot. So I asked myself why I like more MGS 3 from MGS 4? What makes MGS 4 boring and silly and MGS 3 a masterpiece? I haven't found the answer, I'm thinking about it.

I'm currently replaying Culpa Innata, which is a 2007 PC detective adventure game in which every play-through is different depending on how you question your witnesses. The puzzles are mainly standard 2000's adventure fare which wouldn't look out of place in a Benoit Sokal game, but the real attraction is the original and well thought out "dystopian utopia" setting. At first glance, this is a perfect future world with no crime and zero unemployment, and everyone you meet seems exceptionally contented, but look a little closer and you start noticing sinister hypocracies. The society of this world (which doesn't include the "rogue states" of Russia, China and India, or the "unexploitable areas" of Africa) is a hyper-rational, laissez faire, over-sanitised, xenophobic one in which procreation is strictly controlled, polygamy is encouraged, the atomic family is abolished and all children are raised in specially equipped nurseries, all in the name of what is thought to be "scientific" (classic Orwellian doublespeak). Anything which doesn't fit this worldview is expelled or explained away, and this is all leading to a gradual stagnation of the society.

At some point I should get back to playing Stalker: Clear Sky. It feels like if Stalker had been a little more mainstream and Westernised. So, not really an improvement on the original, but still miles better than most of what's out there.

Still playing Skyrim, i think i spend more time on modding it then actually playing, before turning it on i visit skyrim nexus site, download a bunch of mods, install them and then i turn on the game, usually something goes wrong and i spend another 30 minutes tinkering with it, perhaps then i actually do some quests, havent finished the main story yet..

And recently ive got a craving for a stealth game, so i bought Splinter Cell Conviction, so far its fun, i try to avoid shooting as much as possible to make it more challenging, its too easy just to spam bullets and hide.

Dark Souls and Terraria. Im up to the Dukes Archives in DS, so after I kill the boss im going to revisit a few places before taking out the final boss. My friend and I are racing for a Platinum for god knows what reason, so its quite fun. Terraria is just something me and my friend play randomly. Its quality dungeon crawling.

I am currently on my second (evil) play-through of InFamous 2 and I am rather enjoying Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars.
