I gave Killzone 3 and Marvel Vs Capcom 3 a personal 'meh'.
Not that they were bad, they just didn't do much for me, and lost my interest.
I did get a copy of the signature edition of Dragon Age 2, but just before I opened it, I started playing XBLA version of Torchlight. I haven't stopped playing Torchlight since. Streamlined, fun, and very addictive.
Side note: Originally ordered my copy of the sig edition of DA2 from Overstock.com who claimed they were selling it ( & to this day still use the box image from the Sig Ed to sell the game ), when they didn't have it. Now waiting for my refund, and have learned to stick with Amazon. My first & last dealing with 'the Big O', despite the +$10 credit given.
Also canNOT say enough about the Mortal Kombat demo. It friggin' rocks! It clearly justifies the pre order for Mortal Kombat, I cannot wait. It excites me the way I hoped MVC3 would.
It was recently revealed that WWE All Stars will have Create A Wrestler, which has me hopeful.
I now have a nice pile of game trade ins for Amazon to pay for the rest of the games this year.
Will be giving Homefront a rental try, but not hoping for much. It's been awhile since I've played CoD BO, this may get me back into shooting people online.

You're right, looks like Homefront is only good for a rental. Maybe I will pick it up if it drops to $10...
Just bought Vanquish and Folklore used for the PS3...
To add to the list:
Bullet Soul - Xbox 360 - 2D shmup from 5pb and it's region free! On pre-order.
Phantom Breaker - Xbox 360 - 2D vs Fighter from 5pb. Hoping it's going to be region free too. On pre-order just in case.
Skullgirls - PSN
Aquapazza: Aquaplus Dream Match - Arcade only for the moment (Taito Type X2), but I'm hoping this will get an Xbox or PlaySation port. Yes, it's a fighting game...
Oh, and a lovely chap in Japan is getting me the Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta! Meikai Katsugeki Wide-Han Limited Edition for the PS3.

Dragon Age 2 on PS3 is sapping hours away from me.
Thank god they addressed the frame rate issues of the first and it's graphics generally are much improved. Best use of AA on a PS3 game I have seen to date.
I want to try and finish it before next Friday though as iPad 2 and 3DS will be consuming my time from then.
Edit :-
Also playing de blob 2 on Ps3. Can't believe this game did not even get into the top 40 chart. Its very sad when original and fun games, which are then critically successful and yet still can hot guarantee commercial success.
Definitely worth trying it. I predict it will be up there with Beyond Good & Evil as one of those games that in years to come people rave about, and yet very few bought it.

Super upset that Homefront doesn't seem like a solid buy it.
I bought two copies of Marvel vs Capcom 3 by mistake, so I'm planning to just exchange it for another game...perhaps Pokemon Black or White or BulletStorm, or a 3DS game, which I'd likely be easier on due to the limited number of titles that will be out for it.

Homefront is a strange bag...
The single player is complete & total @$$. It was a literally a chore to get as far as I did in the game, before I quit it. The AI is horrible, there are incidents where you are supposed to follow the comp, only they stand around for no reason, so you run ahead and wait for them to open doors you aren't allowed to. Also the AI is always determined to stand in the spots you want to, pushing you in the line of fire. When they aren't blocking you from moving at all. I stopped playing after being told to rush to a copter, not being able to get in it, having to wait for the comp who weren't there, die getting in the helicopter after they finally show, and the game gets stuck loading the level again.
The game getting stuck loading was the last straw, on a game that already crapped all over my nerves & patience.
The multiplayer on the other hand...
Is what THQ should have been promoting. It's the alternative that I think a lot of CoD haters have been waiting for, until Battlefield 3 drops. It's basically Medal of Honor's done right. The first person view of CoD, but the large maps & vehicles of Battlefield. It has an interesting in game currency that is like an active alternative to CoD's perk system.
Another cool thing, is that since everyone seems to be going the way of EA with some kind of online pass, THQ has their own variation. There is level progression in the online portion, but you are limited to level 5 without the code. So you do get to play online without a code, and try the game. A nice idea.
I'd say Homefront is worth a rental, to see if the multiplayer is to your liking.
I'm hoping Crysis 2 is better. I didn't not care for the MP demos, but have been blown away by the vids of the single player.

Just finished Dragon Age 2. Does so much right, does a vast amount wrong. 26 hours in basically the same area, same recycled dungeons. Thank god the character dialogue saved the game for me, because whilst graphically and gameplay is improved on the first, the lack of 'event' in the game was very disappointing. You keep expecting the game to build into a crescendo, you expect it to go places and then 26 hours later toy realise you haven't gone anywhere you didn't go in the first two hours of playing. Shame really, but at least it's one of the few games I've actually completed lately.
Next to finish Bulletstorm, Lego Harry Potter and give Killzone 3 a bit more time before 3DS Friday Pilotwings 3D
Will also pick up Sims Medieval for my mac, and Lego StarWars : clone wars either on Ps3 or 3DS

I also found homefront's campaign frustrating. Your exactly right with the AI, its total cr*p. The graphics are not to great either. All in all it seems very rushed.
The story lines is solid but not told very well and ends abruptly as if they are going to ad expansion packs or something to the end of it.
Im yet to play multiplayer online because I can't be bothered typing in the code which seems a bit BS too me. If i lend the game to a friend does he have to buy another multiplayer code? I never realised xbox games where this pirated for this method to be adopted.

DA2 RAGED me so much, I haven't booted my PC into Win 7 to play it since the first day of being disappointed.
BUT, once my schedule opens up, I'll get back to it. I'm just going to play it like an ACTION game and ignore the fact it's supposedly a sequel. Then I think I'll have fun with it.Getting me 3DS AND Pilotwings tomorrow, I HOPES! I didn't pre-order one and I might not get out of the house until late afternoon.

The action part is the least you need to be concerned about. It's the same 5 small locations replayed over and over and over for 26+ hours that is the real grind gameplay wise to be honest.
I just kept screaming give me more that Kirkwall and open up that freemarches map. Sadly this does not come to pass.
Also as I'm playing through again on the mac as a female warrior (I was a male Mage on console) I can't help feeling that although I'm making consciously different choices and paths that it does really effect the inevitable chapter 'finale' points and the outcome is pre-defined.
I adored the dialogue and characterisation however. The way characters in your party chat amongst themselves or the way NPC characters comment on some of your more 'fruitful' choices in the game had me laughing, and their interactions felt utterly convincing and believable. That for me is it's real strength.
That's a glimmer of hope and why I like Bioware''s titles.
The character conversations in Mass Effect were really enjoyable and something I missed that in ME2. I also liked Dragon Age's conversions, some of which made me laugh out loud, especially Alistar's comment about how his people made food.
I decided I'm going to finish up Awakening -- which I bought for $40 :S -- then restart DA2 with that save instead of my DA save.
And where is that MK that will be launched in April? I mean most say this will be the most epic of all of them. Nothing can stop me from having a blast with Scorpion. Also i've seen a trailer with Kratos in which although there is still room for improvement the game play will be awesome.
^^ Played the PSN+ demo quite a bit. It's certainly the best Mortal Kombat game we have seen since ultimate MK3. However if the demo is an indicator - some of the end cutscenes after you finish a fight grow very tiresome very quickly. Scorpions jump into hell being one example.
Also whilst it looks great it still fundamentally offer's nothing new (which may be a good thing going on the crap MK games of the past) it just fails to excite me. It was like deja vu playing it, it still feels like a 10 year old game. The finishers are still awkward to pull off requiring milimetre positioning to be in the sweet spot otherwise it just fails even though you have done the correct button combo.
Stereoscopy at least works but as it's fundamentally aping 2D, the effect isn't so striking other than a small bit of depth to the parallax backgrounds. It's also 1080p 60fps in 2D mode, this drops to 720p 30fps in 3D and as a consequence does not feel quite as smooth.

Picked up Crysis 2, but should have waited till I could find it for $20 as usual. It's fun, but not overly so, much too easy, and the story is pretty generic, while being overly sparse.
I'm not gaming that much these days...got a huge project going on right now but I absolutely want these games in April:
Portal 2 (PS3)
Mortal Kombat (PS3)
SOCOM....The beta is awesome
On the horizon(all for PS3)
Skyrim
Ico Collection
Batman AC
Journey(PSN)
InFamous 2
Silent Hill: Downpour
Uncharted 3
On set i've been playing the hell out of Peace Walker on the PSP.

After bringing back Homefront to Blockbuster in disgust, I moved onto to Crysis 2. I like the single player, but hated the multiplayer. It's too hit or miss connection wise, for some players it's honey, for the rest it's a lag ass mess. In every game it seems that the host & one person on the other team has green bars ( best connection ), the rest of the players are all in orange or red bar(s). With Crysis armor powers you can never tell if a person has a hardened armor powers on, or your bullets just didn't register. The last game I played was one where a player sniped someone behind a car. The problem, the sniper's bullet hit the victim five of the right of him into a taxi cab roof.
So for some Crysis 2 online is great change & fun, for others it's an unplayable mess with no patch upcoming. The single player though is an interesting change to Halo type adventures. It gives you an alternative to the guns blazing approach that we often get in FPS single player games. If you're interested in Crysis 2, I'd recommend renting it. Make sure your mp experience is happening.
After starting Crysis 2 though, I got sidetracked by Torchlight on XBLA. I loved it! Great fun again, simplified from the PC/Mac version, it's a great time killer. Great fun, and some easy achievements.
Right now though, I've been playing a game that some players absolutely despise. I've been loving WWE All Stars! This is a game that is definitely NOT for everyone. Some hate the brutal AI, some hate the stylization, some hate the wrestler choice, some just hate the whole thing! I find it a great alternative to that busted aged engine that is Whackdown Vs Flawed. It's just a lot of fun, more a fighting game, than a wrestling game. At first it seems very simple, but playing it more & more you realize it's got more depth than expected.
Only a couple of weeks away from Mortal Kombat and I can't wait. Finally I'll have a reason to turn on my PS3!
With MK on the way, Gears of War 3 beta upcoming, news of Brink is starting to flow. Another game I'm excited about. It's been a very consistent year for gaming. Almost something new & fun EVERY month!
Oh, did play the SOCOM beta. NOT looking forward to the new SOCOM.

I'm waiting for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and King of Fighters XIII on PS3, along with DoDonPachi Resurrection on 360. All of which come out in November now.
I'm quite interested in N.G: DevTeam's new game Gun Lord, but I reckon I'll be going for the Dreamcast version. Much as I'd love to get the Neo Geo AES release, I really can't justify that much money preordering a game before I've even seen a review or played it myself. However, after thoroughly enjoying Fast Striker on the DC, I am tempted to get that on AES cart.
Oh, and Sturmwind on the Dreamcast too.

Only recent purchases:
- inFamous 2 (PS3) Great looking game. Pretty much a straight continuation of the first, if you liked/disliked that you'll like/dislike this.
- Deus Ex 3 (360) Apart from a couple of gripes (such as the wimpy fighting ability of an "augmented" person), it's a great game. Love the music/art direction, and the story is pretty good.
- Crysis (360) Just downloaded this a couple of days ago, never played it on the PC. It's a bit bland (gameplay/story) wise so far. The enemies seem to have insane accuracy, which means you have to stay cloaked as much as possible, which means you have to move as slowly as possible.. it's starting to get a bit tedious. If the armour mode was a bit beefier, the game would be more balanced, IMO.
Looking forward to grabbing:
- Gears of War 3
- Assassin's Creed Revelations
- Skyrim: The Destroyer of All my Free Time (unofficial title..)
