Lightning Returns. I played the demo and thought it was boring, then the reviews came in but I decided to give it a shot anyway and played 45 hours in a week. And it's not like it's a great game or something, I can't even explain why I liked it so much.

Warcraft 3



I LOVE ICELAND!

I found that so bizzare.  I couldn't watch the cutscene at the same time as playing the game so, while innovative, it was completely lost on me.

Luckily, the first time I played it thorugh I had a friend who wanted to see what the story of the game was, so he was watching while I was playing and he described the scene to me.  It sounded pretty cool :P



I shouldn't jinx it but do you see what we've done? We've gone like maybe 100 posts just talking about the games we loved! Doesn't that feel great?!

After reading all of the stuff about Dragon's Dogma, I feel fantastic (except for that one guy that didn't like DD--but he probably had a copy of Fable and thought it was Dragon's Dogma).



Rayman Legends (Local Multiplayer). Mass Effect 2/3 (Singleplayer / replayability). Bioshock Infinite (Immersion). Metro Last Light (fantastic atmosphere)



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Puppeteer! Absolutely my favorite platforming this gen (though ACiT's gunplay pushes it above overall).

Actually it was the game i finished yesterday. Metal Gear Solid 4.

Boring in the first 3 chapters, but the rest... wow. Things you dont see on any other game. Nostalgia played to perfection, innovations like a cut-scene and gameplay happening side by side. It really showed the power of the PS3.


Final Fantasy VIII?

-.- Not sure if serious. An FMV happening at the same time as you run your character a bit isnt nearly the same. Besides, that was in on FFVII before it.

You have a problem with Fable?
