1.Fallout 3
2. Call of Duty 4
3. Dark Souls.

Skyrim is not even close. The combat sucks, the story is boring and the characters suck.
Bioshock and Halo 3 come in as contenders.

1) Dark Souls. I love me some dark souls. The atmosphere, the combat, the hidden cryptic story, the large weapon choice, the challenging difficulty. To me it comes into a perfect climax of dark awesome.






2) Dragons dogma. Great open world ARPG. A new IP that i really hope gets bigger. It has a lot of great new ideas and while it's a bit unpolished, it has lots of potential. Also i had much more fun with it than i did with skyrim.




3) Tales of Vesperia. I personally like the anime style, and i love ARPG's (if you couldn't guess from my first 2 choices). It had a nice story with likable characters and great combat. It was i think my first fully completed game on the xbox360 and the first game i bothered to do a NG+ on, twice. This game also did a really weird thing. Back in the PS2 era JRPGs used anime cutscenes because the inengine ones usually looked pretty bad. This is probably the first game ive seen where the anime cut scenes looked worse (graphically anyway) than the in engine ones.







Apparently i like JARPG's. Keep it coming japan, hey maybe FFXV will be an ARPG too.

1. Entire Mass Effect series for me, but three was the pinnacle of the series

2. Skyrim 'nough said

3. Bioshock. Amazing story, great gameplay, everything a game should be
Yeah, what he said ^

Still play Skyrim almost a year after the release and I still find places I've never seen before (and yes, I do explore alot and got several characters). Dawnguard just made it even more awesome.

Wow. Tough call. I have no choice but to base my selection on the number of hours I've sunk into them. I think that is the best way to determine which game I found most enjoyable.

Skyrim. The vanilla game isn't all that great. With mods: it's perfect.


Uncharted 2. Best of the exceptionally good series.


God of War 3. Artistic gore.

For me:

1) Lost Odyssey
[small]Oh my god... so much Lost Odyssey[/small]


Some of the deepest characters I've ever seen in a game. The story itself, if you think about it, wasn't that great, but the way it told it and how emotional the game was made it feel so much better. And the characters were the icing on the cake.
Hironobu, I salute you.
[small]Granted, it does take a little while to get good.[/small]

2) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim


Does it even need to be said?

3) Mass Effect 3... minus the ending.
[small]I haven't played the extended cut yet, though[/small]


I don't think I need to explain this one either. Disregarding the ending for a moment, of course. But of the three it was by far my favourite. Disregarding the ending.

Honourable mention goes to Dark Souls, if only because it's the first game I've played in a very long time that knows how to make a game challenging in s genuinely satisfying way.

1. Persona 4. What? Everyone else is saying it.


2. Team Fortress 2. The perfect team-based shooter


3. Fallout 3. 4 years after release and I'm still finding new things to do.

Hey fellas, has the Portal circle jerk started yet?

Metro 2033, Dark Souls and Halo 3 - in no particular order.
