Halo 3 and Bioshock 2

Im ashamed to say these are 2 games Ive played but not completed, so they currently are sharing the top gaming spot on my Xbox360 at the moment.

Halo
I am not a fan of the Halo games, empty repetitive levels, ineffective weapons hamper the story and gameplay. The first game was stunning, but playing more than a few levels you began to realise Bungie are just not very good games designers. The second game I enjoyed a little better, because you got to play as the Covenant on some levels. But the third and subsequent games are just empty to me.

Bioshock
The first game is heralded as a story masterpiece and rightly so, but the actual game play itself was nothing special. Often criticised because of its poor gunplay mechanics and onslaught of special powers. What drives players to explore this narrow game is the wonderous world that Irrational Games created. The sequel (not developed by Irrational themselves) explores a different side of Rapture and adds fan expected extras such as multiplayer.
