No it proves that FFVII is a solid game but it is the most overrated game of all time, The only reason its gets such love is because most people were rpg virgins going into it and the graphics were great at the time

If everybody played FFVI instead it would have its own films and stuff now aswell, which it deserves because its possibly the best game in the entire series

Anyone going to see Robert Plant in November? I've already seen him twice, so not sure whether to go or not seeing as I haven't heard any of the new material yet.

I just wanted to come into A&R and pretend I understood one of Retros rants about some obscure game from the tibetan foot hills.Why is the 360 ruining my fun

Liamario

Favourite 360 game?
Hmmmmm Uncharted 2!

Retr0gamer

I'm off to see him.

I'm a professional gamer. I get paid in praise for beating Megaman 2 on demand.

Jack burton

Gun of the Uncharted 2: Little Planet is a great game

1 - I was trying to sound like a 12 year old gamer. Spelling generally goes out the window when you do that.

Capital letters at the beginning of sentences are just as important to grammer as spelling.

The last time I saw him was on the Mighty Rearranger tour. Before that back in 1995 with Jimmy Page. Not sure about this one though, I think it's meant to be folky? Not my thing really.

Retr0gamer

Would anyone actually want to be a 'professional gamer'? Playing the same multipalyer game for hours on end. I'd get bored. Maybe fighting games because the community isn't full of bellends but nothing else.

Unless you guys mean reviewing games which I did for a while. Not as great as it's made out to be. RPGs and sandbox games are the bane of your life. GTA4, Lost Odyssey and Crisis Core almost broke me. Did love writing features about my own interests.

o1s1n

Never EVER make your hobby your profession. In most cases it'll just ruin it for you.

YOU reviewed games? oh deary me. im sure you put many a poor soul off buying a good game

Retr0gamer

Whatever. I was damn good at it and got asked by the guys to do one last review before christmas which got a small piece in the evening herald as well. I just tell it as I see it. No need to get upset when you disagree. Starting a HG101 article soon as well which you guys would get a good laugh out of if I said what it was on.

Jack burton

Haha cant wait for that!

Moved from Arcade and Retro to Games. A more suitable forum as this console is 7th generation.

The MLG crowd seem to like it, their Halo 3 tournaments specifically do pretty damn well. Same for the pro Starcraft crowd (*cough* fixing crontrovesy *cough*).

Oblivion
Fallout 3
Mass effect 1/2
Burnout paradise
DIRT

naasrd

Turok!

Landoflemon

Alan Wake (Loved everything about it!)
Gears 1 & 2
Arkham Asylum
Dead Space!! (I had to stop at regular intervals to calm myself down!)
Assassins Creed 2

Although I don't like the way Activision do business, I really enjoyed the visceral feeling of the shooting mechanics in both MW1 and MW2

I hated Halo 3, didn't feel...solid or something. Very Low res textures all over the place really put me off too. Character models were also awful.

And I'm slowly getting bored of Red Dead Redemption. too much time spent on my horse, and I really don't like horses and vice versa.

Couldn't get into Mass Effect although I've tried several times, and unfortunately I have to say the same for Bioshock! I'm probably not going to get a lot of love for that, but the shooting mechanics in both of them were poor. Not that I could do any better, just sayin'!

Far Cry 2.... way too much time spent driving around. That should not be a key gameplay fixture. Also the respawning on NPC's at checkpoints was a game wrecker for me. The final firefight in the game was unnecessarily difficult I thought.... Unlike the end of Gears 2!

boredatwork82

Oblivion.

gizmo

While many of my favourites have already been mentioned, I gotta add Ninja Blade in there too. While it's far from perfect and a little too QTE heavy, there was just something cool about it.

Some of the boss battles were hilariously over the top too. This clip shows it best I think, skip to 4mins 50secs...

hshortt

Condemed. ->Far too many pants spoiling moments to mention in public. Great game.

Need for Speed - Most wanted. -> My first game and my only 1000 points game. Loved it.

I'm not a big gamer, but loving Bioshock 2 at the moment. I completed the first one some time ago, great games too.

superb list, alan wake was so engrossing, the gameplay was phenomenal and the characters were brilliant. gears 1+2 were excellent, particularly 2. Arkham Asylum was one of the best games of last year, along with borderlands. dead space and assassins creed 2 rule!
in my opinion red dead redemption is one of the greatest games of our generation. as for mass effect, i loved it! bioshock is over rated, it really did nothing for me. MW1 is great MW2 is a rip off!far cry 2 i've only seen so i can't say
