Alpha Protocol.

Everybody in the world but me seems to hate it. The gunplay is decent enough for me to not be bothered, in a Mass Effect 1 sorta way. I haven’t hit any glitches, either.

Because I have yet to log into an online match when there is more then 300- players on.I’m going to say the game that you have all talked about, made me buy,then i loved. War for Cybertron. Because on PC it looks like that game sold for shit, if the players online are any indication.

ALSO…
RIDING ON THE BACK OF CYBERSLUGS! WHAT! best game moment…

I don’t think the next-gen Turok got a fair shake.

There are a few games on the Wii that have great art direction and animation (especially Muramasa.) I just wish games like A Boy and his Blob and Muramasa sold more so more developers would make such beautiful games…

Bayonetta for the near flawless combat system. Many will hate on the story and characters, but the game is replayable and incredible. Sorry you didn’t enjoy it Arthur, this trumped God of War 3.

It’ll become relevant, then, but remain ironic.

Bayonetta. Many (Arthur) have simply written it off due to it’s quirky story and characters, but the combat is near flawless. A shame that many prefer the mindless button-mashing of GoW over a refined masterpiece.

The portable versions of Disgaea, they are like digital crack for me. When ever I start one (currently on Disgaea 2 for PSP) I seem to spend every free moment outside of work grinding my characters.

I know I am way passed the submission point and no one is going to read this, but did anyone read the instructions. 90% of the games people mentioned here were games that have been extensively talked about on this podcast, market successes and/or review successes.

No dude, it’s not. Everything about the game is terrible, the animation, the art, the characters, the voice acting (not terrible but far from good), the writng and especially the gameplay. Hell, even the pre-rendered intro sucks so much it’s like it’s taken from a Tomb Raider game 10 years ago.

Did I say the animation sucks? It really really sucks

Persona 4, never really heard of Atlus but i’ve been playing the game and watching giant bomb’s endurance run as i progress and its been a incredible experience. I never thought a jrpg could be this good, and the soundtrack is also fantastic. and of RebelFM recommendation during the steam sale i bought red faction guerrilla for 5$ and it is alot of fun as well.

Just change the 2 to a 3 and it’ll be relevant again.

…no seriously though. the whole Killzone 2 theme is beyond ironic at this point.

I’ve two, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts for doing something creative instead of continuing the stagnation of a platformer franchise by adding innovation into it (fuck you Mario).
Another is the recently over looked Metro 2033, while not perfect in any respect they had a surprisingly thematically deep narrative and an atmosphere and level of immersion unique to video games.
I almost forgot about Killer 7, a very unique experience that I’ve guarantee that you’ve never played another game quite like it.
Since I’ve already fucked up and continued on when I originally said that I only had two, those art house games released for download are always quite beautiful. Whether it’s game journalists who think that if your not shooting something that it’s not a game or a typical teenage gamer who ascribes to that belief, they always are forgotten easily because of they’re brevity. Some examples are Braid, Flower, and Flow. While Flower and Flow maybe just tech demoes for a larger artistic experience and Braid may be an incredibly pretentious in it’s story presentation, I still think they’re some of the best games released this generation and represent an abstract, more mature future for games, if you’ll excuse this poorly written paragraph because it can’t amount to the greatness of all these over looked (and in some cases somewhat overlooked) games.

ME2 is my GOTY so far. Man that game is fucking good. But the year is only half way over.

NO. This game was bad. Had some neat ideas but an unfinished storyline and the same mechanics make this game a failure. The core of the first was story and the dialogue system. The story and dialogue with crew are a mess in 2.
