I've always been curious about Forza.
 
Hmmmm.
 
Need For Speed 9/10

I remember playing Gran Turismo 3 on the Playstation 2 when I was younger. It was awesome. Probably the best driving game I've played on a console.

Halo Reach: 9.5/10. Probably the best Halo game since Halo:CE
 
Halo 3 ODST: 8/10. Awkward pacing but good story.
 
Fable 2: 7.5/10. Better than Fable 3, worse than Fable: The Lost Chapters (Main game and expansion)
 
Bayonetta: 7/10. Weird mix of Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry and God of War (in my opinion), controls just feel too stiff compared to these three

Agreed I actually liked Halo 2 story better but you tend to forgot that when you play Halo 3 or Reach.
 
Even more if your online.

Agree on Reach.
 
Agree on Fable.
 
I enjoyed Bayonetta more than DMC because the story was more than just 'Dante is a jerk: the game'
 
Also as far as Forza goes...here's an idea about how I spend my time in Forza. I love drifting. So...pick the right car (takes quite a few hours), tune it very very meticulously (few hundred hours), paint it (with little anime girls. Takes the most time. 600+ hours), and finally I drive it a little! lol
 
And this is why Forza is better.

'I enjoyed Bayonetta more than DMC because the story was more than just 'Dante is a jerk: the game'
 

true that- storywise, it is a lot better than DMC or NG, but i just find the controls a bit iffy; my combos just dont flow as well as they do in DMC or NG
 
I just got Borderlands: GOTY and Ninja Blade from the bargain bin of a local shop and started playing NB- anyone who likes NG or GoW will enjoy this OTT rip-off of the two. The campy story is just hilarious

Best game released in 2009. IMO

Not started playing it yet, but thanks for the heads up, I'm sure i got a real bargain considering i paid ~$25 brand new for it and it contains codes for all the expansions

I don't think I ever want to play Reach again after getting destroyed by an entire team of bungie employees last night; flaming blue skulls and all. Though I think bungie's dedication to their games is pretty cool, perhaps even admirable.
As for Bayonetta...

Haha, I used to play GW pretty hardest-core. I was hailed as the best infuser(tomb) in the game by many during my prime. Even to a degree where people would recognize me when I joined pug and they would tell their guildmates that I joined their party. I was one of the less than 20 people w/ a phoenix emote back in 2007. Now it's a dime a dozen w/ dragon emotes and stuff but meh..but then that was a long arse time ago. I used to play 16 hours a day way back when I was in school. Haha, I really took good use outa my summer vacations. Good old days. Wish I have time to play games as much as I did back then. A cropped screenshot of my total number of hours played:
 

 


 

GW is fun and all, but how did you ever find enough stuff to do for that long? Granted, I wasn't really into the PvP, I played mostly PvE and had the best everything and ran out of things to do so I got bored. I quit shortly before expansion 1 and moved on to WoW. After I ran out of things to do in WoW, I raided quite heavily in EQ2 for quite some time. I quit about 2 years ago and haven't looked back.

I'm kinda looking forward to GW2 however. I feel that it's both casual and interesting enough that I can play more casually. I hope they have an an auction house.

 
It was all pvp. If you like to play competitively against other players, you know pvp never gets old. there were core people I I used to play w/ on a daily basis. I remember holding hoh regularly and good runs went up to 3x times in a row w/ my regular buddies. If you remember way back, 3-monk backline was the norm w/ 1 prot, 1 woh, and 1 sb/infuse. I was the sb/infuser back in the days. I rose to fame after beating players who were known to run spike builds like r spike, necro spike, rit spike, searing flame spike, lightning orb spike, fast mes spike, degen spike, mo spike, sin spike, holy strike spike, smite-off-of-pet spike, standard war + ele + shatter enchant spike. You name it I infused against all.
 
I had occassions where they tried to kill only me to -60 dp because they felt they wouldn't stand a chance if they don't have me down and in other occassions I had teams where they would lose hope as soon as they see me and go, "ah crap. They have xxxxx. Just resign guys. It's gg. " and they would resign spike b/c they knew as long as I"m infusing they don't stand a chance. Hahaha, like I said good old days. Pvp never gets old. I still do some ra runs on my mo and derv from time to time. Recent nerf to derv left a bitter taste on my mouth so I rarely play anymore. Meh.

I thought I had much fewer hours, but I just checked, and I have almost 6000 hours spread over 2 accounts... GW had me hooked for quite a while. And I wasn't even into PvP at all! What did I do then? Mostly speedclearing, getting GWAMM and 50/50 HoM scores on both accounts, buying all available elite armors, weapons, etc., just pretty much completing and getting anything that can be completed / gotten in PvE. Now that I have done all of that, I can finally say I'm done with GW, at least the PvE side. Now the wait is for GW2

.

 
I pretty much have done all that. FoW armours on my rit, mes and elite armours on the rest of my chars. But pve got boring real quick after 5-6 months. Then I got into the world of pvp and realized, "holy shI#! this is so much more fun and more challenging" and pvped exclusively for the next 4-5 years. I'm also waiting on GW2. Looking foward to seeing how they managed to transision the old tomb system into that of GW2.
 
A couple of screenies showing off my past good runs. I had better runs but lost most of them during hdd reformat, but I still got my phoenix. You might have heard of me if you've been around long enough. xD

Mass Effect 2 (PS3) ~ 12 hours playtime, I think I'm in love. :rolleyes:

 

[Sylverant]

The skate series is one of my all-time favorite "casual games." I can just play those games for days trying to screw around with the physics. So fun and chill. Or trying to break every bone in the player characters body.

Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven - 9.9/10. No commentaries required.
 
Space Rangers 2 - 9.5/10. "Space Rangers" is a series of two TBS by a Russian game developer Elemental Games (the team of these games' developers is now known as Katauri Interactive, a developer of the '08 King's Bounty, a remake of an '90 game). These games are not very popular outside Russia due to bad advertising and a "casual" name. It is a 2D space TBS with numerous text quests. It is quite hard for me to describe it as I haven't played any similar ones, but I strongly recommend these TBS to anyone. I hope that the translation is good as humorous dialogues and text quests are a great part of the game. Games have no multiplayer so you can simply torrent them, but if you always buy games, you can get them both on Steam for $25.
