Bigred's Video Game Thread

What are your thoughts on the following games:

Batman- never played
Mario Galaxy -finished 1 never got into 2
Donkey kong country returns - never a fan of Donkey kong, is it the same genre?
Portal- liked it, but only played about 20 levels of #1 just this year when it was mentioned here. Found it a bit slow but like the riddle aspect.
Red Dead Redemption - never heard of it, watched youtube and didn't seem interesting.
First person shooters - used to be my preference, but don't spend enough time. Played some halo, tons of quake, unreal tourn, half life and the sorts all the way back to the original Duke nukem on the computer. They got too fast and too many to keep up. I like the problem solving aspect of single player more than online HU4rolls types.

NBA Street 2 and 3 were pretty cool for me too. I think I need something to play at the computer more than on console, since my kid always seems to have the Wii and PS3 at his house.
