Then I guess you'll never know ...AkJay said:I normally skim through the list, and if I see a game I like, I'll read the description, if I see a game I don't know/like, I'll skip it.Russ Pitts said:Nice catch! Now *read* instead of *skimming* and you'll find your answerAkJay said:
A great list with a few of my own faves in there too to really get me onside. I really liked the fact that someone who is high up enough (has a lot of readers) to make a difference enjoyed MW2. At last! It's not meant to be a deep tale of lost love and heroes etc. It is what it is and that is great fun (unless you have just been akimbo 1887'd AGAIN in Karachi!).
Good man Russ. I just hope that your colleagues follow through in a simlar stance, ignore common prejudice and big up a game for it being enjoyable to play. Fingers crossed for Uncharted 2 to get some recognition.

I wanted to plal Brutal Legend but no console.
I would probably love MW2 but Activision but the price up so to protest i refused to buy it.
I would hate to play Godfather 2, Wolfenstien
I might like Batman but I'm never going to buy it
I am undecided about DRagon Age: Origins. It's either really good or sucks balls. I think like Oblivion it might grow more and more rubbish as time goes by.
And I do agree with Russ when he says that it was a terrible year for gaming. It really was.

I had the problem that some other posters might've too; I thought it was more a best of not a faves list-but once I saw the list in that light; bingo. All makes sense.
In a way, staffers of the Escapist have an advantage; they have to play a lot of games during the year. Most of us, because of our budget, do not have this luxury. I don't have the money to spend on Godfather 2, and the multiplayer aspect of MW2 doesn't appeal to me so I'll be waiting to get that used. But you guys, with a faves list instead of a best of, can highlight things that you liked, period. Which is, in my eyes, tilted differently than a best of. Makes me think that maybe Wolfenstein is worth a rental-who knows, maybe I'll like it?
In conclusion, I'm looking forward to the rest, to see what other gems might come up.

Finally I was beginning to think that I was the only person who thought godfather2 was a lot of fun.
I think you just broke the universe. Play it NOW!Susan Arendt said:
Nice list Russ, and I agree with The Godfather. Actually I bought The Godfather II on your recommendation, and hell it was worth it.
