That is a rather large list.

Battlestations: Midway is one of the most underrated games on the 360. It's a prefect mix of action and strategy. Best naval warfare game I've ever played.

If you have no job, then yes it is a good list.

That isn't saying much

Honestly, I never found naval warfare games that interesting, but I'm willing to try anything. Is there a demo out?

Win the lottery by chance? Most people buy the car. Anyway... Uncharted and Wipeout HD are pretty much musts for the PS3.

As for your 360 choices, Arkham Asylum is a must. Battlestations is underrated for a reason. Skip out on Blazing Angels entirely. The PC version of the original was an absolute disgrace of a game. They actually gave up trying to fix it. I doubt it's been improved much. If you want a WW2 flight game, get IL-2 Birds of Prey instead.

Braid is a better XBLA game than any others you listed.

 

[Qbah]

Braid, Shadow Complex and Defense Grid are all nice XBLA games. Splosion Man didn't really do it for me.

Regular games? Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect 2. Fallout 3 with all the DLCs is nice too. Did you try GTA IV? Two DLCs for it too (second one coming out shortly). I will be very surprised if those won't keep you busy the entire winter... 30h days at your place?

Yes, I think there's one for Battlestations: Pacific too. I didn't really enjoy the demo of Battlestations: Midway, because I didn't understand the controls. I don't remember if that was because there was no tutorial, or because I just didn't pay attention.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 are must haves, IMO. Occasionally frustrating, but beautiful and fun as hell.

 

[BlueWeasel]

I can't really comment much on the overall list, but Braid and Shadow Complex are two must have XBLA games, IMHO.

 

[pontifex]

I can only mention PS3 games here, but Uncharted was AMAZING and I'm sure Uncharted 2 is going to be just as good if not better. Also get MGS4 if you haven't played it yet either. Ninja Gaiden is insanely difficult. I wasn't impressed by Valkyria Chronicles. haven't played the others.

I rented GTA 4 for the PS3 earlier this year and hated how clunky and slow the controls/camera felt. Especially the driving. It feels like you're trying to drive a shopping cart full of led.

As for the fighting, i tried it and got owned every time, where as in GTA 3 and Vice City you could mash circle and kill them every time.

Just so you know, there's no reason to get saint's row 1 if you get saint's row 2. IMO the same can be said for R6V

Why? I understand Rainbow Six, but there is a lot of references from SR1 in SR2, and Saints Row 1 was a fun game with a different story. SR1 (aside from the control scheme) is actually better than SR2 in a lot of ways IMO.
