Monster Hunter Tri

A decent experience matching up with the original, with a few new nice ideas. Sadly let down by the removal of weapons, and it's higher emphasis on gathering rather than hunting keep it from reaching the same status as Freedom Unite, it's infinitely better predecessor.

Skyrim

A bland action game with repetitive combat, generic landscapes and boring quests. Which may have been tolerable if not for the fact that the game was not a rpg. It is an action game with a few rpg elements, with no choices that matter, completely pointless skills that may as well not have been there. All in all, a horrible game.

Dragon's Dogma

Simple story, with pretty nice character customization.
Short skill tree and few classes though the skills are fun and pretty.
At the end....Well atleast it didn't go 3 games of story choices just to give you the 2 endings.

 

[lord canti]

Asura's Wrath

Great story full of character and well voiced.
Amazing art style.
I had to pay for the mother fucking endgame.

MineCraft
Immersive construction toy
Your imagination is your limits
much better than Dwarf Fortress

Alone in the Dark (2008)
*Combat is a bit dodgy at times, but luckily avoidable when roaming Central Park, while driving is an exercise in skull-ripping frustration.
*I appreciate the attempt to continue the 1992 Carnby's story, but the generic explaination for the events at hand is fairly underwhelming, and I hate Sarah (the support character) with a passion.
*Not as bad as everyone says it is, but what could have been amazing just ended up as a disappointment.

(Still hope they make a sequel, though)

I'm pretty sure the last game I finished was Bastion.. damn, that was months ago. I need to finish my mountain of partially-completed games. But anyway, Bastion:

While I had my doubts about it the first time I tried the demo, this game absolutely blew me away once I gave it a chance. The story was great, the graphics were beautiful, the combat was smooth (and much deeper than I expected), and the soundtrack.. OH, the soundtrack. I'm listening to it right now, actually. I can't wait to replay it, I'd recommend it to everyone, even non-gamers as an introduction to gaming.

Captcha: make a bee-line

Apparently I should restart it right now. Here I go!

Diablo 3

My favorite point and click dungeon crawler with a rather surprising story twist here and there. It is basically D2 +1, but considering how many hours I lost in D2, that +1 is a HUGE deal. The addition of Inferno difficulty is also a really big deal, and it creates a very difficult endgame for players to work towards. Cannot wait for the inevitable expansion pack and Act V!

Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2.

Doesn't do anything new. However, it has a similar adventure mode mechanic to Budokai 3, which is a nice novelty. It was also good to see it use the first Tenkaichi's perpetual super forms without decreasing ki combined with the ability to actively transform. It has an even larger roster of characters, and provides that thrillingly destructive fun you no and love!

 

[Mikkelet]

Guild Wars 2 Beta:
Interesting ideas and overall good execution.
Pretty fun PvP.
Definitely worth try.

Rage
How many times do I need to shoot these dickheads before- huh, 'Wingsticks'?
BATMAN ************!
Wait, what? That was the end?

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Team Fortress 2

A really addicting class-based FREE multiplayer FPS, focused on the PC. Easy to get into, easy to learn the game, hard to master it. The fact that game's been out for near five years means that the people playing longer are able to crush the new players for a long time, combined with the possible hundreds of weapons. Some classes are difficult at first, some almost impossible to master without Spiderman reflexes, and lag still is a factor. But it gets better.

 

[Gibboniser]

LoL (League of Legends)
A good team based game
Community drags it down
With friends you'll be fine

Bonus points for haiku?

Happy Wheels

OH MY GOD THAT WRECKING BALL ALMOST KILLED ME. Oh fuck! I just got killed by a minefield. Why? Why put that there? What kinda twisted person puts a harpoon next to a spike strip omg I'm dead there's blood and chunks of me everywhere. In other words, it's hilariously fun.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Uncharted 3

This is a game that largely succeeds in about a million little ways, but fails in a few big ways. The gameplay is all very fun and perfectly functional, but the story takes a few odd beats that makes the whole game feel a bit off. For example, the section with the best action in the game has absolutely nothing to do with the story, and the story ends just before it has a chance to really go somewhere. Still, a very good game overall.

Battlefield 2 (yes 2)

Pokemon Black Version (2011).

A new set of 150 Pokemon, some questionable, but some amazing, as all generations have.
The plot has some meat to it now, making it fresh and...well, actually a story this time.
Graphical upgrades, moving battle sprites, and more; all we're missing is fully rendered 3D.

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness

Smooth graphics and balanced gameplay, every battle a double battle allows for more strategy then normal pokemon games. Limited choice of pokemon however and the storyline doesn't feel as... dark as Pokemon Colosseum. Enemy team is larger threat then Team Rocket (not surprising.)

Yeah, Pogeymans *Brofist* That's exactly how I felt about it.
