Games I've Played

I really liked Halo: CE. 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 fun!

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.

This game was terrible.

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.

This game offered alternate color modes for colorblindness, which is awesome. Shame the dialogue and plot was so literally laughable.

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 far - that we beat the max difficulty time trial by half. The magnum in that game is ridiculously overpowered.

As far as I can tell, these people have no idea what the phrase "survival horror" even means.

I think this might be my #1 pick for best Zelda game.

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.

As of September, 2013, this game is too scary for me. As of November, 2013, Glen and I finished it!

Ehhh... Just not very enticing, you know? And kinda too hard.

I love this game so much I'm not even going to write about it. My thoughts would take up too much space.

Ico was very pretty, and had some of the same quality that Shadow of the Colossus had, but it didn't tie together nearly so well.

This game has the best platforming I've had the pleasure of experiencing - and I'm a sucker for good platforming.

I loved this game from an aesthetic point of view, but I kept waiting for the story to get interesting. I'm still waiting.

The aesthetic really makes this game stand out.

Iji remains one of my favorite games of all time, for its excellent pseudo-morality system - one of the best I've seen.

Valkyrie Chronicles had such a cool gameplay and storytelling style that I have to include it.

It's hard to describe this game. It was fascinating.

Probably my favorite rhythm game.

Oh gosh this game. I loved it so much. Such a masterpiece of storytelling - two days after getting it I finished it, and two days later I finished my second playthrough. When I design games, this is what I try for - with maybe more female characters.

The only game I've played or seen with such an emotionally powerful and compelling anonymous multiplayer experience.
