I thought we needed one. :/ Meh. Here we go, first game I'm gonna review is. Assassins Creed II + Expansion Packs 12+13+Templar Lair Extra Missions.

Review: Overall Assassins Creed II is a improvement on the first one, although I'm not talking about the first one.
The story line: Score 9.8/10 Why? The story line is captivating and interesting and leaves me wanting more, No spoilers here, -.2 due to the cliffhanger ending and semi-difficult side mission that relates to story line called the Truth.
Graphics: 9/10: The story takes place in Italy 1400 AD I think they nailed most aspects.
Gameplay 10/10: Climbing walls, spring on rooftops, jumping from roof to roof. Free running is simply stunning and plays a major role in the gameplay. Combat is rewarding, Double hidden blades hidden up your sleeve makes assassination rewarding (Avenging the death of your family) Poison blades, swords, war hammers, all make this game worth playing. (Did I mention Leonardo Da Vinci is your friend/bitch?)

I will add/edit when i have more time

Review: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising: the most realistic fps made in a while, but glitchy as hell.
The story line: Score 7/10: The storyline, how it explains what happened in the first chapter, is very solid and is told thoroughly throughout the missions.
Graphics: 8/10: The vehicles and the addition of newer rifles like the SCAR-H DMR and the QBU-88 are pinpoint accurate. FPS sequences like reloading are thorough and remind you that you're holding a gun that loads 7.62mm rounds. If there's one complaint it's how the guns are usually too close to the camera.
Gameplay: 3/10: The game is very real and you can die in one shot if you're not careful, but this is also a burden in situations where you're completely surrounded. The HUD doesn't focus clearly on smaller TV's and is extremely confusing for the first few days. But the main reason this gets a 3 is the lack of a working AI system. You can order your fireteam to follow you and they will hang back and fight any resistance while you end up at the helicopter with a dead squad. And the AI glitch too much, the gunner for a Blackhawk will not spot any targets until they are extremely close, and in the 5th or so mission, where you are supposed to get your squad into an MH-60 for extraction, the blackhawk never takes off. I immediately quit the game right there out of pure frustration and being appalled at the fact that the game, while it was released on time, isn't even finished. The creators have dropped all support for the game and will not respond to any fan's request to fix it.

Mai two cents.
