Sadly, I have not played any of those games. Happy 4000th post!

That's the second time ME2 has appeared on an editor's list, and to be honest I'm not surprised. It is pretty damn awesome.

Can't wait for the remaining editors' choices.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

I'm Commander Shepard, and Susan is the second of my favourite editors on the escapist...

 

[KEM10]

And this is why I like Susan as an editor, picking games based on fun and what she would suggest to her friends.

Is anyone surprised that a game with a rainbow unicorn made her list? No? Good.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I should really get Costume Quest already, huh?

But I was hoping that PSN would have put it on sale for Christmas. And they didn't...

 

[Distorted Stu]

ME2 was the only game ont hat list ive played and i have to agre eon its spot in number 1 <3

Hey, babey... I'll teach you some dance moves ... Hey what's that shiny read dot doing on the top of my hea- boom!-

Okay in all seriousness... Good list... Sadly the only game I've played on that list was ME2 which is my Game of the Year so far.

I really, really want to play Enslaved. It's next on my Gamefly list, but I keep having this surging notion to go and buy it right now without ever having played more than the demo. As for Mass Effect, since I just got a new computer that's a bit more up to snuff than my old one, I'll be checking them out soon enough.

 

[Susan Arendt]

Well, that was definitely a girly list. Not that it's a bad thing, but besides Mass Effect 2, I had little interest in any of those games. And I doubt I enjoyed Mass Effect for the same reasons she did.

I guess that just goes to show you how different girls are from guys, even in the modern age of no-chivalry and equality.

Charming.

Well, go read my review of ME2 and tell me if I liked it for the same reasons as you or not.

 

[Burck]

Show tunes?
Was I playing the same Mass Effect 2?

I didn't really like the probes a lot either, but between the marginal improvement from the last game and probing Uranus, I'll forgive Bioware.

 

[PhiMed]

I was actually kind of expecting to see Fable III on this list. Color me surprised.

Though, I doubt I'll be going out and getting Dance Central any time soon. I feel bad for not playing Costume Quest yet, but I'm still kind of mad and Schaffer and co. for Brutal Legend... such a disappointment.

I also liked Enslaved, Susan. I'm glad I'm not the only one. And speaking as a guy, I can safely say that any game that features clobbering robots with a bo staff is decidedly non-girly.

The Eye of Sauron[footnote]Yes, the IT team has "a great Eye, lidless, wreathed in flame" that we use[/footnote] spotted him banjumping, so you might have to wait a bit for his answer.

Mordin Solus sings Gilbert and Sullivan. And it's awesome.

Susan: No Alan Wake??? For shame!

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Before I read the article or any of the posts, I scrolling down here and doing what it suggested: Guessing. Well, I'm guessing one game, anyway. Alan Wake. First spot perhaps? Or Mass Effect 2? Now to go read!

EDIT: Nuts. I lost. Well, I least I got Mass Effect 2 right.

 

[castlewise]

Wait, I thought I saw this a few days ago, except there were completely different games (most I hadn't heard of). Am I crazy?

Edit: Nevermind. It was last years that I saw. Oops.

 

[mattttherman3]

Well I didn't play any of the games besides Mass Effect 2, which is on my list for favorite game of all time, so very good choice on the number 1.

It actually was on the original version of this list, but I axed it at the last second. I do adore that game; it just barely missed making the cut.
