There's so much room for movement in terms of the kind of character you want to play.

My bf and I wanted to try it out through a demo, but then couldn't find one. Might pick the game up after the holidays.

FFVIII was the first game I played that wasn't a platformer or Street Fighter. It made me the geek I am today!

Although I'm odd (apparently) and think XII is the best. It's not as melodramatic and Japanesekindawhacky as the other.

I approve

@ DILLIGAF
Probably, but you don't look like you care much.

I'm so funny.

is anybody else looking forward to the Miles Edgeworth game coming out next year? It's part of the Phoenix Wright game series which i love! i am already counting the days until i can play it!

i'm also thinking of getting a dsill when they come out in the uk next year. i would trade in my normal ds to get the bigger version... i like how big the screens are!

Ugh, but thats what makes the games so strangely addicting. I hated XII because it was just too...normal? I mean, its Final FANTASY, why would I want to play a normal sounding game, haha.

Borderlands - man oh man, this was ridonkulously good fun. I can't wait for the DLC to be released for PC.

Torchlight - for everyone who is waiting for Diablo III to come out, check out this little dungeoncrawler in the meantime. It's by the team behind DII, so the easiest way to explain it is all the good stuff of DII without all the annoying stuff, and given a seriously good-looking make-over.

L4D2: Hard Rain. 'Nuff said.

Hard Rain on realism mode is just friggin' nuts.

Last time I played it I made a point of headshotting every single witch on the way there, heh.

Thread resurrection!

I've been playing Fallout 3 GOTY version after buying it for super cheap on Steam and oh my god. Every time I start to get really into it, it either randomly crashes or I come across some insanely stupid little bug that wrecks it :<

On the plus side, I've had a ball with it and Fawkes is totally my 8' yellow bro.

I hope Fallout New Vegas is going to be a bit more polished :3

 

[LMD84]

i totally forgot all about this thread!

my favourite games from this past year have been the edgeworth ds game - but i knew i'd love it!! seriously addicting stuff and great storylines! and also mario galaxy 2! so much fun, a bit tricky in places though but still enjoyable!

my hubby was pleased to see that all his and his work mates hard work paid off because red dead redemption got really good reviews and has been very successful

i hope he gets a big bonus at Christmas to show for it!

it'll make all his 12 hour days worthwhile!

Tell him I loved RDR. I rarely touch my consoles - I'm p much a diehard PC person - but I ordered RDR early, got it on release day and basically sunk two weeks into it.

I need to keep playing though; I took a break right as I'm about to leave ersatz Mexico and then got stuck into FO3 and Bad Company 2 instead. I've already had the ending spoiled for me though

i will let him know you like it

and it sucks when an ending gets spoiled like that

i feel bad for hubby because the games that Rockstar make are usually games that i'm not too interested in. or i find them too hard and then get bored and give up! although GTA vice City is a good one that i did really enjoy

 

[kaliraksha]

lara, I remember you being excited for SC2? Did you ever get a chance to check it out?

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

Gah, last thing I played was We

Katamari when it came out years ago.

I did! I played from the start of the closed beta, then a friend snagged me a US retail key so I'm not region-locked into Asia. I took a few weeks off though, so I need to get my groove back.

I've been playing Protoss mainly - I am that terrible jerk who spams Void Rays, sorry

I also love harassing with Zealots to distract whilst placing a sneaky pylon right behind someone's base and warping in Dark Templars. No cannon cheese though, I'm not that bad.

If anyone else plays without being too super-serious about it, feel free to add laratron.750 or [email protected]

 

[spectrolite]

^I've been playing SC2 >_< I've had a bit of a break from it lately though because work is killing me and I'm too tired to play when I get home. I like playing Terran and Zerg.

Has anyone watched the trailer/game play movie to Bioshock Infinite?? It looks frakkin amazing!

I love the insanity of the characters in the Bioshock games.

Haha I completely forgot about this thread! I've been trying to finish fall out 3 so I can play new vegas... I also have played RDR for a bit on ps3 but i'm more of a pc gamer.
Hanging out for New Vegas, COD Black Ops, and Little Big Planet 2.

 

[lara]

Lyssah, I don't know if you've preordered New Vegas at all, but it's only US$49.95 on Steam as opposed to AU$110 at Game and EB. The pre-order bonus on Steam isn't too bad either.

Australian retail prices for games are INSANE.
