Awesome games that have come out lately:
Battlefield 3 - Have it, Awesome.
Call of duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Have it. Pretty awesome, though not terribly different from Modern Warfare 2.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Have it, REALLY AWESOME.
Minecraft - Have had the Alpha/Beta for a while now, but now it's the FULL VERSION :O
Little Big Planet 2 - Don't have it, but have played it. Awesome.
Dead Space 2 - STILL haven't played it. Looks awesome.
Killzone 3 - Have it. Decent.
Gears of War 3 - Don't have it, have played it. Awesome. Huge improvement over GoW2.
Halo: Combat Evolved 10th Anniversary - Don't have yet, graphical remake of Halo 1. Halo 1 was awesome, so by association, this is too.
Super Mario 3D Land - I don't own a 3DS, but this game looks awesome.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations - Don't have (yet). Looks cool, and I loved the other Assassin's Creed games.
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Am getting sometime this week. Legend of Zelda is awesome, even despite the fact that I don't really like the Wii's motion controls.
RockSmith - A game I can plug my guitar into?! o_O AWESOME!

*PIMP SLAP* That's what you get for not alerting me that you're online! *BITCH SLAP* That's because you're French-Descended, and I'm racist.
I got Skyrim too, really awesome game which I've been raping mercilessly since I got on the day it came out.
And I'm getting Revelations tomorrow. Did you ever get Assassin's Creed 1? Because I remember you played Assassins Creed 2 first. If you did, then you're just as excited as me that you can once again play as the stone-cold badass that is Altair Ibn La-Ahad. (Who has a ridiciously cool sounding name which means "Flying one, son of no one.")
I'm not going to get the Halo remake, simply because I got that game once and I'm not going to get it again just because it has shinier graphics.
And I've never been that into Shooters, so Gears of War and Modern Warfare and all others on there are out of the question.

As badass as Ezio Auditore de Firenze is, Altair has him beat by a lot. Altair got shit done. And he did it without gadgets made personally for him by Leonardo DaVinci (although that is pretty damn cool)
I probably won't get Halo until I get internet that can handle online gaming, as this "new" Halo brings all the maps from Halo 1's multiplayer as add-ons to Halo Reach. Otherwise, it will be pointless.
Skyrim is pretty much a perfect kind of game for me. A singe player RPG that doesn't hold back on violence or subject matter, and doesn't resort to cheesy plots and dialogue to appeal to a wider audience. Most of the good things about Fable 1 are evident in Skyrim, and there's a lot more cool shit that doesn't have (like Manly, 'eat your face' vampires and werewolves, which are not seen often in todays media). Because of the sheer volume of things to do in skyrim, coupled with the length of the main plot, it's replaced Fable as my RPG to play constantly (Although, when Diablo III comes out, I may have to re-think my plans.)
Shooters aren't my cup of tea specifically. I'll play the odd shooter at a friend's house, and i used to play them more when i had good internet, but they usually have weak singleplayer modes. (S.T.A.L.K.E.R Series being one of the bigger exceptions)
