What was the last time you experienced joy in gaming?

[DasDestroyer]

Minecraft.
I was always a huge fan of lego, and when you basically supersize the whole thing... well, it's pretty epic

learning and tryong out new fatalities for any mortal kombat game. theres nothing quite like ripping off all four of goro's arms and then smashing his head with ur fists

Last evening playing Kingdom Hears BBS. Eraqus is such an awesome boss battle! Tough too!

a minute ago playing Bad Company 2. Killed like 8 rocket-spamming engineers clustered together in a small house with a stray grenade launcher.

The last mission and ending of Mass Effect 2, this is not my most joyful, just the last one I can remember.

 

[matthudson]

Alien swarm. Ended up being the last one alive with next to no ammo and even less hitpoints. Won it buy rolling into the finish area just as the doors opened (Rydberg reactor if you're wondering)

LittleBigPlanet 2. There's something wonderful about the simple complexity of the missile game, after you play it for a while you realize that there's a huge amount of strategy involved.

Plus, freakin' LittleBigPlanet 2!

Playing Diablo 2 with My girlfriend earlier today, I was even late for work because we were so engrossed.

Just today, bad company 2. And well...

I spawned right inside a two story building, but before i could do anything i heard a groaning sound coming from the walls. So i sprinted and jumped out the window just before the building collapsed around me.

The second i landed bullets flew wildly around me, so i sprinted into cover... a bad idea. In that second mortars began to fall all around my position blasting any cover and teammates to smithereens. I again was on the run down the street of explosions and gunfire...

I could narrate the rest of that game, but i won't. Suffice to say it was a roller coaster ride directed by Michal bay. Explosions and bullets everywhere... It was just mindless fun.

Yesterday while playing Fable 2. I picked it up for 5 euro so I thought what the hell. The handholding is rather annoying but the funny little details like for example the arrest warrants made me chuckle out loud. I can't stand games that take themselves too seriously. Fable 2 strikes just the right note.

Knocking an Ogre on it's back and repeatedly stabbing it in the face in Dragon Age's 'Return to Ostagar' was a refreshing experience, especially since it was revenge for the King.

Though a moment of true joy would have to been when I beat Crawmerax in Borderlands. To tell you the truth, I squee'd a little bit when it exploded into weapons.

 

[Risingblade]

Babe hunt in Persona 3

 

[Engarde]

League of Legends, making ghosts of ghosts. Practical and awesome!

 

[NaramSuen]

Yesterday when I finally finished the Training Hall and Large Cavern in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Now I am ready to finish off Dracula.

 

[starwarsgeek]

Last night when I played a game of Mario Party 2 with my brother.

Just tonight while playing Bad Company 2 with a few friends. Hardcore mode and a good BlackHawk pilot can make for a ton of fun. I love the teamwork involved in calling out targets to the other gunner, then having the pilot turn the helicopter a specific direction, and get to a certain altitude to get us in place.

Then aircraft to aircraft battles in hardcore? Shit. Just trying to find the fast moving Hind-D and call out its position to my team mates is a blast. I love the adrenaline rush and the chatter as we call out "10 o'clock high. Turn us left and ascend. Left gunner, let me know when he circles around." Then the gunner comes back with "I can't get a shot. He's under us going right side.". All in just a few seconds.

It's amazing. Destroy or be destroyed. Bailing and parachuting into a field with 2 tanks battling it out is fun, too.

 

[Something Amyss]

Rock Band 2, when I nail a tough song. In fact, I was playing Prequel to the Sequel on drums the other night, and I played so well, I couldn't stop grinning when I finished. That game always makes me smile.

Similarly, RB3 nailing parts on expert keys. Even if it's just really simple stuff like "Rainbow in the Dark." Harder stuff is ten times as awesome, though.

while I was playing Call of Duty: Black Ops online( Xbox Live) when I got my first kill with the ballistics knife, the tomahawk and the crossbow thing. It pleased me.
