• Heavy Rain:  This is the kind of niche game that I love.  I was tooo hyped for this one (and CGI kept feeding my hype--he's the "Flavor Flav" of VGChartz!).  Amazing game.  Usually when I buy a game, I sneak it past my girlfriend (I have SHELVES of video games and I always convince her that "Oh, I bought this game months ago!" despite the fact that it's January and the game says 2011 when I turn it on.) but with Heavy Rain, we walked right into that store, side by side, bought the game, and she watched me play it.  Great game.

Mission accomplished!

Exactly why I avoid those "CGI-Quality's Hype Threads"!!  You had me waking up in the middle of the night thinking about Heavy Rain.  Maybe you do your job a little too good!

Also, great list of games you got there.  Any of them stand out as being particulary worth it or not worth buying?  Don't ask me why but reading the responses intrigue me.
