Tiger woods 2010 for the wii. I give it a 8/10. I haven't had fun on the wii in a long time. I didn't play previous version so I can't compare. Some annoying little things. Maybe i need more time with the motion plus.
Grand slam tennis for the wii. 4/10. Crap. 4 is being nice. they expect you to use the motion plus and use the nunchuk to move around the court. I'm gonna rip the cord at the current rate. controls are sometimes non responsive. I want forearm the character gets stuck in backhand animation. I'm hoping someone put a game with much better controls. Supposedly this is Virtual tennis 2009 but blockbsuter doesn't have it in so I can't try it yet.
Punch Out! 8/10. given +2 for nostalgia. It gets repetitive after a while both Doc's comments and game play. after few seconds if you're quick you'll notice the pattern and that's pretty much it.

Prince of Persia 5/10 - Just a few hours into it and I gave the low cause of the horrible controls. I want to go left dammit, left. Not up.

Call of Duty 4 - 10/10 OK, I admit I've been playing this game for a year and a half but it's still just as fun as it was on day one. Still my most played game.
Super Mario Galaxy - 6/10 I haven't gotten very far into this game yet, maybe it gets better, but so far I'd rate the level design as "awful." Still waiting to see what all the hubbub is about. Granted, I've only got 4 or 5 stars thus far but I'm lacking the desire to go play some more.
Battlefield 1943 - 8/10 While I'm awful at this game it is a ton of fun. I wish the bombs on the plane worked a little better.
Pure - 7/10 It's such a simple game but it is alot of fun to just romp through the mud!
Zelda: The Twilight Princess - 9/10 Classic Zelda gameplay with a few new twists. Not a huge fan of the wolf but overall a great game. I've been sitting on the sky temple for a while, need to finish it and finish the game.
Bionic Commando: Rearmed - 7/10 Another game that I'm not sure what all the hubbub is about. It's alright I suppose.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - 9/10 Another classic that I played through again. One of my favorite side scrollers of all time.

Mario Kart DS 8/10
I know it's a couple years old now, but was really fun to play on vacation during the flight and buss ride.
RockBand 2 9/10
Please bring back the stars on the song select screen. The game is just a few features away from perfect.
Resident Evil 5 9/10
Was a lot of fun to play. I like being to redo levels over and over to earn better weapons. The boss battles were fun, but not too difficult that it wasn't fun to play. The only thing lacking is the ability to run and shoot which makes the controls feel clunky at times.

Street Fighter 4 - 10/10 - Awesome fighter. I love this game. The animation is great. Haven't had time to play lately 
BlazBlue - 9/10 - Great game. Lots of depth. Good companion to SF4 because it is still a great fighter but gies you a totally different experience. Big story mode.
Red Faction - 9/10 - Haven't finished yet but it is awesome. So much fun just breaking stuff. I typically get bored of open world games but not this one.
Ghostbusters - 7/10 - I played the first couple of levels and it was ok but I got bored. I didn't think it was as funny as I've heard many claim.
Sacred 2 - 8/10 Diabloish game. Tons of loot. Tons of quest. Sometimes has some slow down. Great game but really it just makes me want Diablo 3 for console.
Battlefield 1943 - Awesome!!! I'm having so much fun with this. You get those crazy Battlefield moments you don't typically see in other shooters. Like a plane hitting a tree and cartwheeling into the ground right in front of your face. I hope they come out with some more maps. Most worth it game for 15 dollars ever.
RE5 - Single player 6/10 - Co-op 9/10 - This game is so much better coop. I hated it when I was trying to play it single player. AI Sheva is just annoying.
Hmmm I don't play many bad games. I usually wait until reviews are out.

Fall Out 3 - 10/10 - Wow, I was hooked for a while on this. Just couldn't stop playing it.
Gears of War 2 - 10/10 - Playing this since launch. Amazing game, good campaign, excellet vs. multiplayer(although glitchy and lagging at times), fun hoard mode.
SF 4 - 10/10 - Best Next gen fighting game period.
Halo 3 - 8/10 - Fun, but confusing and a bit repetitive campaign. Excellent online multiplayer.
Forza 3 - 9/10 - Best racing next gen racing sim.
Burnout Paradise - 7/10 - Fun, but couldn't really get into it. Not a fan of the sandbox environment like games and it kind of feels like one.
Wii
Punch Out - 8/10 - Love it, but I feel there could've been more put into it.
Fire Emblem RD - 9/10 - Haven't had this much fun with a turned based SRPG since FF tactics.

ridge racer - it's ridge racer ... 7/10
god of war - great addition to the series. the button sequences annoy me because i'm used to an xbox controller - 9/10
patapon - just started this a few days ago ... i am completely addicted .. pon pon pata pon - 10/10

haven't played any new games in a long while, the last one was
gears of war 2 - felt broader and faster than the first one (which i liked) but lacked some intensity because of this - 9/10

Prototype: 7/10 - solid game but not worth buying at full price... but at $30 most would get their money's worth
Ghostbusters: 8/10 (so far) - just rented this and so far the game is pretty solid. The voicework is great as expected, and the humor is fairly fresh despite using recycled locations and enemies from the movies so much already.

Banjo Kazooie XBLA: 8.5/10
Good: Awesome atmosphere, music, almost difficult to believe they could have pulled this off on the N64. Puzzles, platforming, all fun to do. Difficulty is fine for me.
Bad: Kinda short, I was finishing entire levels in 1 sit, maybe about an hour and a half for each, until I reached the "scary" level. Collecting everything can be tedious.
Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer Xbox 360: 4/10
Good: Online seems to work well, I am matched up pretty quickly. I like the upgrades unlocked when gaining experience.
Bad: Gameplay is meh. Run and gun mindless boring fragfest, instant respawn all over the place. I don't really like any of the game modes. Graphics aren't very good but at least it runs at 60 FPS most of the time.
Dawn of War 2 Multiplayer PC: 8/10
Good: Fun to play as eldar, I seem to be addicted. This new RTS direction is a breath of fresh air, lots of micromanagement, no more "select all" and "attack-move" gameplay. Many ways an inferior force can defeat a larger, stronger one with some micro-management. Spend most of the time fighting, no idle time screwing around with buildings.
Bad: Unbalanced, unfinished, buggy, problems with online match-up, graphics almost seem like a step backwards, performance much worse than Company of Heroes.

Until my 360 kicked the bucket I was having a ton of fun with Far Cry 2: 8 out of 10
Banjo Kazooie Nuts n Bolts is one of the most inventive games I've ever played: 10 out of 10
Lego Batman, yes it's just another Lego game like the others, but they've always been fun and Batman was very well polished, plus playing the villains was very fun: 9/10
There's a lot of games listed here I want to pick up, but I just don't have the time.

Battlefield 1943 - 8/10...however if they release more maps soon I may change it to 9. I'm already getting sick of the trio.
battlefield 1943 8/10 solid
infamous 7/10 boring and repetitive
killzone 2 7/10 GREAT graphics but unoriginal multiplayer
fallout 3 8/10 i get sick of this game so quickly, but i am on my second play through. the sheer amount of things this game allows me to do is amazing.

FUEL - So much potential...wasted. Terrible, terrible, terrible.
The biggest map in a game ever. Full of the same grass and rocks.
So disappointed.
3/10

Yeah, me too.
There are some things that are annoying that can be disabled using mods/hacks, but the gameplay is still lacking.
The graphics are ok, the sound can get annoying after a while, and it's just not really FUN.
The claim of the biggest map ever is nice until you realize that there's nothing in it.
Well, you do find FUEL canisters once in a while, and pass some trucks (that all look the same).
Driving across the biggest map ever you will come across 6,000 barns (that all look the same), 14,000 downed trees (that all look the same)...you get the idea. You never see any other racers/drivers unless you are in a race and there's not even "collectibles" (except FUEL canisters) that might make it more interesting other than upgrades. The races are ok, but the whole sandbox idea is a waste if there's no toys in the sandbox.
One of my favorite games is Burnout Paradise and I never ran out of stuff to do on single player.

After finishing ghostbusters I drop it's score a point (to 7/10)
It's a very solid game, but way too short and linear. There's no way to go back and select missions so I can't go and find the artifacts I'm missing if I wanted to, or scan more ghosts and stuff. Later in the game it becomes apparent how ridiculously stupid your teammates are. They must have eliminated the strafe possibility for your teammates as they don't dodge shit. The parts of the game I felt were 'hard' weren't really hard because of just raw game difficulty, they were hard because something wasn't working right which is just frustrating... NOT challenging

Price of Persia: The Sands of Time (GC): 9/10
Played this again to see if it was as good as I remembered. It is! I don't like platformers, and I thought it was good.
Portal(PC): 8/10
It's good. Not THAT good, but good.
Vigilante 8 Arcade(360): 8/10.
Original was 10/10 back in the day. New graphics are nice, but I wish they hadn't removed my favorite character (amongst other things.) Still fun, and the 60% price reduction over what I paid back in the day is nice.
Escape Velocity: Nova(PC/mac): 7/10
Not as good as I remembered, but better than I expected. Can be much improved with a few choice mods, all free. Everyone should at least try the shareware trial.
Fallout 2(PC): 7/10.
Would have been much, much higher....if my save file hadn't been corrupted 2/3 of the way through. Why must such a great game be so full of bugs?
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn(PC): 10/10
My favorite RPG ever. If you've ever played D&D, you'll love it. Please note that it's red-headed stepchildren (Icewind Dale) and expansion pack are not quite as good.
This is a game with a sheep gun. One minute you're in some futuristic arena full of death-bots, the next you're in a pretty good simaracula of New Zeland. I think you may be looking for a different sort of game.
As above:
There are enemies.
BLAM BLAM BLAM
There aren't any more enemies.
Next area!
Yeah, it's repetitive. But confusing?
I never really got into that game. Of course, I only played the first few hours...but if a game doesn't grab you after the first 180 minutes, it's either chess or flawed.
Which one?

So disappointed.

I share your pain. I was really interested in this after seeing all the glowing previews.... then I played it. Awful graphics, awful physics and the worst sound effects I've ever heard in a racing game. Seriously, the motorcycles sound like a dude just made farting sounds with his lips into a microphone and then looped it.
Anyway, some of the games I've played recently:
skate 2 - single player: 8/10. Multiplayer: 2/10 (cheaters galore and the devs don't care)
Gears of War 2 - 9/10. Great online options and a fair single player campaign.
Dark Sector - 8/10. Older game that had some really bad press and a terrible demo that killed its sales. The full game is awesome, looks great and the voice acting isn't half bad. Excellent all around, especially since you can get it for $7.99 with free shipping at Newegg.
Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway - 7/10. Very good game. I love the strategy elements and the realism. Slowdowns and some terrible voice acting really brings it down, though.

I'll rate the last console games I bought:
UFC Undisputed 2009 - 8/10 - Fun, but in the end it's way too much ground-game.
Mass Effect - ?/10 - Can't get into it
Grand Theft Auto 4 - 8/10 - Fun. Died from something really stupid several months ago and haven't played since.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma - ?/10 - Can't get into it
Metal Gear Solid 4 - ?/10 - Can't get into it, very disappointed. I just don't enjoy it.
The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess - ?/10 - Can't get into it.
I guess I should stop buying console games.
