my wife is a serious gamer, we have to sell time shares to each other on the weekend :)

she mutes her mic when she's online and a lot of the games she only plays the SP

but she puts in a good 15-30 hours a week depending on her work schedule

her favorite titles are: Viva Pinata, Lego Star Wars original trilogy, Kameo, Lord of the Rings, Lost planet, Gears, and oblivion

and she is a halo freak

Condemned was a lot of fun. That was one of the games I really wanted to max out. It just a had an awesome, spooky feel to it. There were things I wished were different, but other than the length I don't want to mention them if you're going to play it. It was kind of short. But playing through with melee weapons only greatly lengthened it and made it a lot more challenging.

If you like scary, heartpounding, weird fun Condemned is for you!

I do. I tend to only go after hard achievements, mostly for the challenge. However, there are games that I enjoy enough that I do want 1000/1000 in and go out of my way to get them. Mostly I just go after the ones I want though. Rainbow on realistic. COD2 on vet. Gears on insane. Condemned using only melee weapons.

I like achievements not for the points but for the challenge. They give a lot of games replay value they might not otherwise have.

and oh yes, no game list would be complete wihout oblivion:D

the wii and the 360 went in totally different directions - you have to decide which one is right for you
