Bioshock! It's absolutely wonderful, and really anything from Valve: half life 2, portal, etc. I recommend going through Steam, they have great deals sometimes!

I haven't payed Bioshock yet, I'll have to keep it in mind. Objectivism and drills seem like a pretty sweet combo.

Well you get the drill in the second one. In the first you have to settle for a ton of guns and gene manipulation that effectively gives you magic.

Ohh, the Fallouts! They are great fun, and WAY better with mods to fix the bugs and give you more than 10 songs on the radio.

If you like horror/adventure, the Penumbra games and especially Amnesia. If you like straight adventure, anything by Telltale.On the artier side of things, there's the Void.

I will also say Something Positive about DA2, though it is a very flawed game indeed.

Games on the PC... Fallout is a good one. Even though the ants scare me. And the ghouls. ... and the deathclaws... and... it's still fun. Portal 2 is another good one.

Just finished playing Portal 2 and getting all the single player achievements, and let me tell you... it was worth the wait! Gladdos is still as sarcastically funny as ever, and the in-depth history of Aperture Science is intriguing, especially with the rantings of Cave Johnson. I loved his anti-"When Life Gives You Lemons" rant:

Quote from: Cave Johnson
All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?! Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

And while we're on the Fallout series, I know the perfect song for the game:

Yes! Cave Johnson is one of the best new characters in a video game franchise since Yoshi, and since he's not playable and the only contact you have with the guy is a bunch of recordings and portraits left behind, that's really saying something.

I am very interested in talking about the between-the-lines story they don't spell out for you, if anyone else is, PM me and we'll get a mind-blowiing spoiler-filled convo going. Make sure you read the comic at thinkwithportals.com and finish the single player campaign first. I really want to know if you came up with the same conclusion I did. It's crazy!

4 didn't knock my socks off that much. I still like 3 most of all.

I'm just now realizing how absolutely beautiful the sound engine of FFVI is. I'm listening to songs like 'The Man with the Machine Gun' played using said engine, and it just works.

Ohohoh, man, am I glad someone finally longplayed the first 30 minutes of Galaxy on Fire 2. This one made me a believer in the potential of mobile gaming.

Whoa. I mean, I guess I should have known it after Valkyria Chronicles, but now I'm really a believer in this whole cel-shaded models thing.

Rumor or truth...? I wonder... :?

Legend of Paper Zelda? adorable xD  :P but it sounds unlikely to me.

Yeah... that seems to be the mindset of many people of the Fire Emblem site I found the link. You'd think they'd be more hopeful since there is a 'Fire Emblem Cafe' in the title list as well, but I guess one look at 'Legend of Paper Zelda' threw them off...

Honestly I don't find the concept that weird or unusual. It'd be just a more 'flat' version of Wind Waker and such. But to each their own I guess... :roll:
