Alan Wake
Earth Defense 2017 - What on earth is this? I've never encountered it.
Too Human - Really? What did you like? I really like the conceit, but the reviews kinda put me off.
Tales of Vesperia
Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon(Kids might like it... I thought it was kind of juvenile) - Any more info on this and what makes it good?
Crackdown
Crackdown 2 - I'm so getting both of these, I think. I'm a big fan of inFamous, for example.
Fable II
Fable III
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise(Can't recommend this game enough! :D) - I know little about this at all. Any summary of it's awesomeness?
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts(ditto^) - I'd forgotten about this; just added to my list.
Kameo - I have no idea what this is. :D
Halo Wars - I intended to pick this up already, so thanks for the extra recommendation.

That's a good little list... Most of them can be picked up for cheap too!

If I've not asked anything about any of the above, it's probably because the title in question is already on my list of wants. :D


Earth Defense is the equivalent of a B scifi movie. Spaceships appear all over the earth carrying with them Robots, giant godzilla things, ants, spiders, and flying things. What ensues is 54 levels of untold chaos. Some of later levels the screen is completely filled with blood, acid, and flying dead bodies. It was always fun when you looked down at your radar and it was just a complete red blob. It's a TPS which is also a blast in co-op

Too Human is either a love it or hate it thing. The first couple levels are great, but the last one is kind of out of place. It's a blast to play, and definetily worth it if you can pick it up for the cheap!

Blue Dragon is by the creator of Final Fantasy. It's a tight little jrpg, it's kind of slow(especially if you play it after LO). The story is kind of focused more on younger people. It's especially great if you love grinding like I do 

Viva Pinata: TiP is hard to explain. But if you wife likes casual games she will love it! It's kind of a garden simulator... where each pinata has a certain preresiquite in order to appear, visit your garden, then stay. I easily put over a hundred hours into the first one. The second is much more refined o.o. Again, can't recommend it enough 

Kameo is hard to put into a specific category. It's a platformer/brawler that you have to find little creatures that give you there powers. Then you can transform into animals, and all that. Some of the combos are great, transform into a squid spray a group of enemies with oil then transform into a dragon and set that oil on fire. It also has co-op play. Trying to get the highest rank on levels is very addicting ^^. It's a launch title where the graphics didn't age too well though :3 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D
