It took some time but I finally figured them all out. #10 was the major sticking point for me. The annoying thing is, I actually looked at the correct series right off the bat, but I obviously didn't look closely enough. Shows how much I know about it, I guess. ;)

Anyway, email sent it. :)

Quite tough really, but I think it's got to be this for me:

#1 - Mass Effect 2

#2 - Fable II

#3 - Left 4 Dead

#4 - Braid

#5 - Gears of War 2

Honourable mentions (any of these could be in the top 5 too) - Assassin's Creed II, Forza Motorsport 2, Mirror's Edge, Geometry Wars 2, Resident Evil 5

The only one I've spent any time with is Eternal Sonata, which is pretty good. It has some interesting battle mechanics and a reasonably passable story from what I've seen (although I haven't had a chance to finish it yet). The graphics are a little cutesy and anime in their styling though, so depending on how you feel about that may well effect your opinion of the game. Worth a look though for sure, especially as it doesn't seem as long as most.

I've heard good things about Tales of Vespiria and FFXIII as well, but haven't picked them up yet. Hoping to soon though. Not so sure about Lost Odyssey, as my only experience with it was my brother's growing frustration and increasingly foul language. ^__^ He isn't the most patient people in the world though, so JRPG's don't really suit him well. Make of that what you will.

Yes, I'd say keep going. I can understand why you are having problems though. Mass Effect 2 is a much tighter, well-rounded games in virtually all aspects, and if you have played that and liked it, then Mass Effect will feeling awkward and hard to use. That's why I made sure I finished it before moving into the sequel, despite it sitting next to me, taunting my slowness, for weeks! It nearly drove me crazy!

Still, Mass Effect is worth playing for the story alone, plus if you transfer a completed save file over to Mass Effect 2 then you will get a much enhanced version of that game as well (and potentially Mass Effect 3 too), which is a pretty awesome reason to do it in and of itself. Who knows, if you do that then it might even move from your #2 stop on your list to the very top. Just keep at it and see. :)

I voted a couple of weeks ago and haven't received the emblem yet. Hopefully this gets sorted out soon. Thanks, Jody!

Like many people here I voted in all categories at least twice due to the voting error, as I wasn't sure if the previous votes had been counted. I thought I'd better vote again just to be on the safe side. :)

Anyway, here is a selection of the most memorable categories and the way I voted for them:

Game of the Year - GTA IV

Best PC Game - Fallout 3

Best Xbox 360 Game - GTA 4

Besr PS3 Game - Little Big Planet

Best Wii Game - Super Smahs Bros. Brawl

Best Nintendo DS Game - The World Ends With You

Best Platformer - LittleBig Planet

Best Shooter - Gears of War 2

Best Strategy - Civilizations Revolution

Best Roleplay - Fable 2

Least Improved Sequel - Animal Crossing: City Folk

Worst Game Everyone Played - Mercenaries 2

Best Game Nobody Played - Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise

Best Graphics, Artistic - LittleBig Planet

Best Graphics, Technical - Crysis Warhead

Funniest Game - No More Heros

Most Surprisingly Good Game - Braid

Best UK-Developed Game - GTA IV (although I really wanted to vote for LittleBig Planet as well ^^)

I could go on and on but I doubt anyone will be all that interested. :P

My new avatar actually does look remarkably like me. The clothes, the hair. Yup, that's pretty accurate really! ^^

For me it was probably something like Space Invaders on DOS, but the first game I really remember well was Crusader: No Remorse (1995). Good times with that one. :)

[QUOTE="xCrysis"]

This game was pretty amazing. It lasted me a good while. I would atleast try it out. Who knows? You might like it.

Also, escape the fate, is the most amazing band ever. I love your signature. :D

Thanks guys i just opened the game tonight and i love it. And on a side note, escape the fate is my favorite band, i saw them live once with ronnie and i just saw them two weeks ago with Craig. Craig was def a good replacement for Ronnie. I heart ETF. 

 

Awesome! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it. :) Like I said before, it's one of those games that once you start it's hard to put it down, especially when all of the crazy plot twists start. Hope you enjoy the rest of it too. ^^
