NOW! (yes I'm bored!)
These are my awards to the best and worst of games that I have OWNED! (not just played on someone else's computer for 5 mins) I would just like to say which games I've enjoyed the most and also I'd like to find out which games other people enjoyed, no bickering DAMN IT!
it's just a celebration!
So this is my homage to the games which have given me the most pleasure in my console playing life, and those which have quite frankly been a bit crap!
