Best new game: Xcom Enemy Unknown followed by Spec Ops the Line
Both are great,the turn based shooter combat in XCom felt completely new to me, which went well with the Peace Walker style build an army concept, it felt fresh and like nothing I've ever played before.
Spec Ops:The Line...boy,what can I say? starts of slow and takes its time to get going, but when it does... it gets good! Battlefield and Call Of Duty got a lot to learn from this baby!
Old Game I keep playing: Persona 4 and Dark Souls
Persona 4.
What can I say, the greatest game ever, a JRPG Pokemonish high school dating sim with a story that resembles Scooby Doo? a few years back I would have punched you for simply recommending this to me but now... saying I'm obsessed would be an understatement.
Dark Souls:The perfect game as a game,as mentioned, all this game wants to be is a game, it has a story but it takes the backseat in the form of lore, giving the gameplay to take the spotlight, no hand holding, it allows the payer to learn the ropes through his own experience, and that's what makes it so special, and why it is supposed to be so hardcore... its one big learning experience, the challenge isn't to frustrate you, its to force you to think and be careful and most of all learn, its a learning experience!
I had to think more in this game more than most puzzle games.
