You're Not Alexander!

Okay, no I've not been on holiday, and yes I have played games:

God Hand - what a superb game this is! It's essentially a Streets Of Rage-style brawler but in 3D. Silly sense of humour, daft plot involving some fella who has a special arm. Graphics are a bit ropey but the deep, involving gameplay more than makes up for it. It's one of those games where, when you fail, you know you can do better next time.

It was the last game from developer Clover Studio who also did Okami amongst other things. It's a shame they had to go.

Borderlands - still a superb game but I was flagging. I'd recommend people play it in co-op as the single-player is a bit ofa grind after a while.
