It worked fine for me, so I assume when I got it (a year or two ago) It had already been fixed with patches or my computer was just good enough to run it.Gatx said:
What are the best games to come out in recent years?

Currently getting real into Stalker: Call of Pripyat. The game is pretty brilliant, and you should be able to get it cheap. If you do decide to get it, get the Complete Mod for it.
Bastion
Binding of Isaac
Magicka
Sequence
Dead Rising 2
Portal 2
Nier is a bit weird. Its a game that plays on the tropes of many different game genres. As long as you give up on the fetch quests early, the game is quite interesting, rather than just frustrating. Still need to do the alt replay though.

lemme fix that. Skyward Sword, New Super Mario Brothers Wii, Rhythm Heaven Fever (Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise if you're in Europe), and the Bit.Trip series (downloadable). These are just the games I've played though.Karutomaru said:

You can get Bit.Trip Complete now which has all 6 games on a single disc with bonus levels,unlockable stuff and a soundtrack cd for roughly the same price as buying the games individuallywebepoop said:

Alpha Protocol(yeah it's flawed but it's also one of my favourite games this gen.Plus it's dirt cheap now so everyone should at least try this game)
No More Heroes
esperate Struggle(presuming you played the first one) Plenty of people have already mentioned the big names so I won't bother repeating them
In no particular order:
The Witcher 2
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Portal 2
The Arkham Games
Assassin's Creed 2
Uncharted 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Mass Effect trilogy
And the DayZ mod for ARMA 2. Seriously. Oh, and Skyrim.

I think the only thing that's surprising about that is that you still seem to find that surprising.Karutomaru said:
I'm seeing too much mainstream consumer love. Time to bring in some Niche game loving!
Rune Factory Series: (Games out since 2010-2011 in North America?)
- Rune Factory Frontier (Wii)
- Rune Factory 3 (DS)
- Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (Wii and PS3)
Harvest Moon Meets Dungeon Crawling RPG. Truly a brilliant combination. I went into RF1 without expectations, and 3 days later I realized "Oh snap, my game time says 60 hours, no wonder I'm so hungry, I haven't moved from this spot except to plug in the charger!"
I average 120 hours per playthrough of Frontier, and plan to beat it 13 times to unlock everything in the "Memories" Gallery, to give you an idea of how good this series is.
While most of the other games feature a more Isometric view like older Zelda or even Recettear, Tides of Destiny is more... Kingdom Hearts-ish. Yeah. A lot of variety in this series.
If you're a fan of Harvest Moon (I never was) RPGs (why I tried RF at all) or both (yes, especially if both) then you should really give this series an earnest try.

The two games that come to my mind immediately are Bastion and Nier, both of which are superb action-RPGs that really should have set the world on fire more than they did. This is especially true in the case of Nier, which featured the best story that any video game has told so far. Both games, though, are incredibly well-done and deeply affecting, provided that you understand them.
I mainly chose these because I had fun with them. I hate the whole "best of" thing, and then saying platformers and other types of games don't count because they aren't open world and what not. these games set out to do something, and they did them really, really well.Karutomaru said:
maybe these are the best platformers of the generation, maybe this is the best zelda game of the generation, maybe this is the best collection of minigames this generation maybe we should all stop arguing and live in peace because others have a different opinion.
another great game this generation, although not on the wii, is Super Meat Boy.
