It was a strong game, and I've had a soft spot for the Halo story - I don't think it's particularly deep or told with finesse, but it's <em>fun</em>!</p> </li> <li>Halo 2 <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty hard">Heroic co-op</span> </div> <p class="thoughts">I've been telling myself I'm going to beat Halo 2 on legendary by myself since the day I beat Halo: CE on legendary. I feel the overwhelming urge to be able to say I've beaten the whole trilogy on the hardest difficulty! On the other hand, it's really goddamn hard.</p> </li> <li>Halo 3 <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty max">Legendary co-op</span> <span class="difficulty max">Legendary solo</span> <span class="achievement max">All Skulls found</span> </div> </li> <li>Halo 3: ODST <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty hard">Heroic co-op</span> </div> </li> <li>Halo: Reach <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty hard">Heroic co-op</span> </div> </li> <li>Gears of War <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty max">Insane co-op</span> </div> </li> <li>Gears of War 2 <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty hard">Hardcore co-op</span> </div> </li> <li>Gears of War 3 <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty hard">Hardcore co-op</span> </div> </li> <li>Half-Life</li> <li>Half-Life: Blue Shift</li> <li>Half-Life: Opposing Force</li> <li>Half-Life 2 (and Episode 1) (and Episode 2)</li> <li>Portal</li> <li>Portal 2 (and co-op)</li> <li>Army of Two</li> <li>Army of Two: 40th Day</li> <li>Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement bad">Gave up after like 30 minutes</span> </div> <p class="thoughts">This game was terrible.</p> </li> <li>Resistance: Fall of Man <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty hard">Hard? co-op</span> </div> </li> <li>Resistance 3 <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty hard">Hard co-op</span> </div> <p class="thoughts">These games weren't very deep, but they had decent shooting and good weapons. Resistance 2 didn't have co-op, so I didn't play it - I just watched my friend do it.</p> </li> <li>Killzone 3 <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty hard">Veteran? co-op</span> </div> <p class="thoughts">This game offered alternate color modes for colorblindness, which is awesome. Shame the dialogue and plot was so literally laughable. </p> </li> <li>Resident Evil 5 <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty hard">Veteran? co-op</span> <span class="achievement max">Broke one level</span> </div> <p class="thoughts">My pal and I played this over one break, and we couldn't take it seriously. Once we beat it, we spent our hard-earned points on getting infinite ammo for a few weapons - and decided we'd try to unlock infinite ammo for every weapon. We didn't end up doing that, but we did get so practiced at going through one level - which drops the most money for the time you spend in it by <em>far</em> - that we beat the max difficulty time trial by <em>half</em>. The magnum in that game is ridiculously overpowered.</p> </li> <li>F.3.A.R. <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty hard">Fearless? co-op</span> </div> <p class="thoughts">As far as I can tell, these people have no idea what the phrase "survival horror" even means.</p> </ul> </section> <section> <h2>Not Shooters</h2> <ul> <li>Pokemon: Red <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement normal">Beat the Elite Four</span> </div> </li> <li>Pokemon: Silver</li> <li>Pokemon: Diamond <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement normal">Beat the Elite Four</span> </div> </li> <li>Prince of Persia: Sands of Time</li> <li>Prince of Persia (2008)</li> <li>Super Smash Brothers: Melee <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement hard">Every SP challenge</span> </div> </li> <li>Super Smash Brothers: Brawl <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement max">Every achievement</span> <span class="achievement bad">except one sticker</span> </div> </li> <li>Mario Kart: Double Dash <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement max">Time Trial Staff Ghosts</span> <span class="achievement max">Every Cup on Mirror</span> </div> </li> <li>Mario Kart: Wii <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement max">Gold Medals on Everything</span> </div> </li> <li>Okami <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement normal">All brush techniques</span> </div> </li> <li>Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening <p class="thoughts">I think this might be my #1 pick for best Zelda game.</p> </li> <li>Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time</li> <li>Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess</li> <li>Super Mario 64</li> <li>Super Mario Sunshine</li> <li>Final Fantasy</li> <li>Final Fantasy 6 <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement bad">Halfway</span> </div> </li> <li>Final Fantasy 7 <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement bad">Halfway</span> </div> </li> <li>Final Fantasy 8 <div class="accolades"> <span class="achievement bad">Halfway</span> </div> <p class="thoughts">I feel like including Final Fantasy games that I haven't finished is still reasonable because not finishing a Final Fantasy game involves a similar time commitment as finishing many other games.</p> </li> <li>No More Heroes <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty normal">Mild</span> <span class="achievement normal">All Beam Katanas</span> </div> </li> <li>No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty normal">Mild</span> </div> </li> <li>Guitar Hero <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty max">Expert</span> </div> </li> <li>Rock Band <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty max">Expert Guitar</span> <span class="difficulty normal">Medium Drums</span> </div> </li> <li>Super Metroid</li> <li>Metroid: Fusion</li> <li>Metroid: Zero Mission</li> <li>Metroid Prime</li> <li>Metroid Prime 3: Corruption</li> </ul> </section> <section> <h2>Extremely Memorable</h2> <ul> <li>Shadow of the Colossus <div class="accolades"> <span class="difficulty max">Hard</span> <span class="achievement hard">Time Trials (Normal)</span> <span class="achievement max">Climbed the temple</span> </div> <p class="thoughts">I love this game so much I'm not even going to write about it.
