Well, not directly. Here is a topic where you should be able to post any game you have recently bought. Then list a little information on it and we don't need to create any more of these threads, yet are still being helpful.

Exi:
Game: Contra 4
Platform: DS
Genre: Sidescrolling action
Pros: Fun, Great replay value, lots of unlockable features, good graphics for a DS game, plays like classic Contra
Cons: Hard for a non-experienced player
Buy, Rent, or Skip: BUY


EDIT: If you're buying something, list it here.
If you're looking for suggestions on what to buy, ask it here.
If you unlocked an achievement or beat a final boss or something else, proclaim it here.

Great idea, MrDeath!

Game: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Platform: Wii
Genre: Fighting
Pros: Great use of motion controls, more characters than any other fighting game, destructible environments, tons of unlockables, save replays of your favourite battles, etc.
Cons: Online multiplayer is broken and likely won't ever be repaired. Worse lag than you've ever experienced during Brawl.
Buy, Rent, or Skip: Buy it if you're a fan of the series, try it if you're not.

Edit: Also, I vote this topic gets a sticky.

Game: MLB Power Pros
Platform: Wii
Genre: Baseball Sports
Pros: Very unique baseball game. Very indepth and allows you to do a lot with your team. Great animations and characters. Unique styling and Japanese baseball influenced makes this game a unique baseball sim instead of all the other clones out there.
Cons: Announcer is kind of stupid. For example you hit a foul ball into the stands in right field half the time the announcer says "Pop fly to the catcher". Also some names of the announcer are not the correct ones. For example Troy Glaus for the Toronto Blue Jays is announced as Tony Glaus and in the background the stadium announcer says Troy Glaus so the mistake is very obvious.
Buy, Rent, or Skip: BUY
Conclusions: If you are looking for a unique, fun to play, great little compact yet full of flavour baseball game for your Wii or PS2 this is the game to get!

Game: Any Phoenix Wright Game
Platform: DS
Genre: Interactive Story/Puzzle/Attorney at Law simulator
Pros: The stories for each chapter are very compelling and the characters that circulate around them are unforgettable.
Different situations during certain cases always keep you on your toes and always thinking one step ahead of the prosecution. A nice fresh of breath air from a different genre of gaming.
Cons: If you hate reading and/or dumb you won't like this game ;)
Buy, Rent, or Skip: Must Buy for any DS owner
Conclusions: If your a person of a good story, but like the taste of action, then this is your game.
Theres no better satisfaction when you take down your opponent with just your pure wit

Location: Nowhere?
Game: Grand Theft Auto IV
Platform: Xbox 360/Playstation 3
Genre: Sandbox/Third-Person Shooter
Pros: Very well done storyline. Endless hours of free-roaming. Very realistic depiction of a real-life city. Multi-player throughout entire Liberty City! Great graphics. Amazing soundtrack. Single-player campaign about 25 to 30 hours.
Cons: Some missions may be frustrating. Some slowdown when too much is happening at once on screen. Minor glitches. Multi-player can be a turnoff because of auto-aim. AI can be really stupid at times.
Conclusion: Just get this game. Its pros easily trump its cons.
