20. God of War- PS3; 6/13/2011 9/10 (Yes... if you look at my list you will see that I played this game earlier this year & you will also see that I actually gave it a higher point value this time. I decided to play it again because I realized that I was VERY close to achieveing the Platinum trophy & all I lacked were a select few really easy to get trophies & the Trophy for beating it in under 5 hours *I beat it in under 4 I believe*. Thing is that this was my first platinum trophy & that makes this game special to me as a result which I believe is worth an extra point. I should also note that I went through the game in the businessman alternate outfit this time & that made the game much easier & much more fun as a result.)

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father

Definitely in my top 3 adventure games of all time. Missed 2 pts somewhere, wonder what it was...

inFamous 2

Bloody good game, basically more of the same but bigger & better which is just what the sequel to a good game should be. Mostly the same controls but they're a bit tighter and there's a lot of new cool things to do. I do wish you got the lightning tether earlier, that power is awesome

I'm going to add the two (so far released) New Vegas add-ons to my list:


Dead Money: Where do I even begin with this? To put it simply: Dead Money is amazing and has stuck with me long after I left the Sierra Madre. Here I go, fangirling about Chris Avellone's writing but I swear the man has no equal when it comes to game writing and putting into words just what kind of power emotions hold. A lot of people seem to dislike having your equipment stripped in the beginning but I rather liked it, this forced me to actually try to survive the rather hostile environment and keep my eyes out for anything that would help me along the way. The companions, I simply adore all of them and in some ways it pained me to have to leave them at the end. I could keep going but the amount of positive feedback I have for this addon would be a small book. Yes there are things I could complain about (just two areas that I found rather difficult but it doesn't ruin it for me), but I walked away after playing it feeling so incredibly emotionally invested in the story, characters and location that it makes me wish I could go back ("but the hardest part, is letting go...")


Honest Hearts: While quite good, I have to admit I was a bit let down with it after playing Dead Money. I try to stay away from reviews until after I've beat something because I don't want my opinions colored in any way. I kept reading how HH was better than DM and for me personally, I politely but strongly disagree. From a storytelling standpoint I found myself connected to DM far more, and locationwise I didn't find Zion anywhere near as atmospheric as the Sierra Madre. I enjoyed it but I didn't feel the need to take my time on it. The characters were good, I was fond of the two tribal companions and the Burned Man is of course rather awesome but as a whole I walked away from it feeling not quite as impressed as I was with Dead Money.


I'm really looking forward to Old World Blues which is supposed to be out this month, and especially excited for Lonesome Road, given how much the other two add-ons hype it up.

currently playing it for the very first time. great game but so old...

I found the HQ filters helped a bit, but yes the 320x200 graphics still look rather muddy, and the pixel hunting was a bit of a pain since there are no pop-up descriptions for hotspots. But those weren't nearly enough to detract from the story and atmosphere :)

It's too bad the "640x480" version only enhances the interface...

Right now, I'm playing through The Witcher for the first time, and I'll be picking up L.A. Noire in a week or two.

Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light (DS).

Wonderful fun (they managed to make a macro battle system work) and a nice throwback to the roots of the series. Not sure if I can forgive the lack of Chocobos and old-style Black Mage hats even in a gaiden game, though.

Witcher 2. While there are definitely some issues, I'm very satisfied with the game. Well worth the purchase. I'll likely play through Roche's path in the very near future (I did Iorveth's this time).

Last night I finished Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal shortly after completing the main game. Baldur's Gate 2 is still one of the best RPGs I've ever played.

A couple days back, I finally completed the Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion. Prior to that, I competed Knights of the Nine. I just found out that I neglected to mention that earlier.

Duke Nukem Forever - Fun but very flawed. Feels like a patchwork quilt more than a cohesive experience but I still had a good time.
