Modern Warfare 2 on the top...Well that DA 2 - MW 1.

Although glad to see I wasnt the only one who enjoyed Shadow Complex =D Great fun!

 

[DND Judgement]

i'm getting more and more tempted by uncharted 2...

Modern Warfare 2 on the top...Well that DA 2 - MW 1.

Shall we start taking bets on the overall winner?

 

[Amarok]

Modern Warfare 2 is all well and good, but the blood on screen (or in the player's eyes?) looks like strawberry jam.

I cannot play that game for more than 10 minutes without needing jam.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Now I wanna play Shadow Complex again...but its just a trial since I'm disconnected from Live. Glad to see SC get some love. I downloaded it, and didn't stop playing until I beat it. Got the last few items for 100% the next morning.

Someone say jam?

 

[Serum211]

Good list Jordan. Thats it i wont say more.

 

[Nimbus]

Can't download Spelunky. Something may have crashed the download site.

 

[Hiphophippo]

I'm excited to see someone else enjoy Spelunky

 

[Swaki]

dragon age c-c-combo breaker, surprised to see smaller games, browser games at that on a favorite list, its either admirable or a sign that you're on work to much (and do very little work while there).

 

[Hammith]

Love Spelunky. Game's fricking hard to get used to, though. The randomness sometimes ads a horrible amount to the difficulty.

MW2 just bores me, though. Not sure why, but I think it's mostly due to the lack of anything really new to it, and the absence of dedicated servers for the PC meaning a distinct lack of community. Ah well, guess that means more TF2 for my shooter fix.

 

[Patroclus]

I've started playing spelunky because I'm a sucker for 8-bit graphics (they make me feel nostalgic), but I can't figure out how to open crates =/ *sigh* o' where can the open crate button be?

Otherwise, great list! I also loved Time Fcuk. That game was really addictive, but I had to stop playing because it really started to get inside my head and creep me out o_o

 

[Mirrored Jigsaw]

Time Fcuk was a great game. Eventually, I got a bit bored by it, then I noticed that I'd been playing for three hours.

 

[Shadeovblack]

I love games like Spelunky and POWDER.

 

[ParadoxBG]

I'm off to download Spelunky right now. I've just got this thing for retro-style platformers, especially free ones .

Pixel needs a new project...

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I'm surprised Arkham Asylum is underperforming in these.

DA:O is great fun though, thoroughly enjoying my first playthrough at the mo.

Some things to keep in mind:

1. Cutting lists down to five was haaaaard. Even if we really liked a game, it may have only just barely missed out.

2. Not everyone played everything. I may be wrong, but I don't think Jordan played Dragon Age, I didn't play Batman, Russ didn't play Assassin's Creed 2.

Must...remember... that it is their FAVOURITES... and as such opinions...

*Slaps self*

Anywho good list. I'm still waiting patiently for Dead space to download... at 972 bytes a second.

I wonder if AssCreed 2 will be on someones list

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Woo! Spelunky! I have to agree with it being one of the best games of the year. So. Much. Fun. And so many deaths, too...

 

[Arkhangelsk]

It has a single-player campaign!? I never knew that, I was busy obsessing about achievements.
