FFXIII - around ten hours in, and frankly, it still sucks. The writing is beyond horrible, the dub is ridiculous, and the actual game-part of the game consists of long, tedious fights and recycled scenery.
Stalker: Call to Prypiat - absolutely amazing, the most immersive game I've played in a long while. Now obviously the shooting doesn't feel too fluent, the UI is a product of the last century and the engine is very dated, but still, the atmosphere of the game compensates for all these flaws. I was rather disappointed by the prequel, it didn't feel open enough and you spent way too much time underground - this is a definite improvement. I'm currently on my way to Prypiat, which I'm very much looking forward to.
