A number 6 would be innovation. It's not important for a game but it can enchance to the experience. Story is number 1 cause that is the biggest criteria for me. I have to be immersed .. story and graphics will do that. If followed by immersive gameplay and good sound it's epic.

Uncharted is one of my favorate games along with Metal gear solid 4.

I have to point you in the direction of Resistance fall of man

Then he will point to your ass, he's making a not so cloaked statement (hint; he hates all things HD and non Wii).

3. Sound (Pardon)

4. Innovation (Its all been done b4 man)

5. Social Aspect (Its pretty meh for me...I'm a gamer / loner)

Social Aspect vs Sound depends on the genre. Innovation is big because i play a LOT of games... and most of them are the same.

As such i'll buy games just for the innovation and a new expierence even if i know it hasn't been executed perfectly.

I'm as much a videogame enthusiast as i am someone who likes to play videogames... so i'm excited and love to see where games are going.  Not just where they are.

stop trolling rol.

1. gameplay - halo has the best gameplay of them all. the compelling single player will keep you entertained for years, pondering its meaning and enjoying its artistic ambitions.

2 - social aspect - the multiplayer is the best on consoles today.

3. graphics - halo 3 has one of the best artistic and visually environments on gaming today.

4. sound - the music in halo is godly

5. innovation - the first halo innovated FPS on consoles today. the sequels just improved them or kept most of the same.

1. gameplay - u cant play it if its that bad.

2. graphics - doesnt have to be "GeOW or "K2" graphics, enviromently friendly

3. social aspect - what makes u want to keep playing the game after u beat single player

4. sound - music can affect the mood

5. innovation - its good but its the toughest part to improve on. although this is gr8, it will only happen as games run on new and more powerful technology in the future.
