Games I've Played
Mostly Shooters and Stuff
- Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer
According to social.bioware.com I've played 266 hours of this, as of December 9, 2015, over 840 games. I doubt that includes lobby time or character customization.
- Halo: Combat Evolved
Legendary solo
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!
- Halo 2
Heroic co-op
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.
- Halo 3
Legendary co-op Legendary solo All Skulls found
- Halo 3: ODST
Heroic co-op

Gave up after like 30 minutes
This game was terrible.
- Resistance: Fall of Man
Hard? co-op
- Resistance 3
Hard co-op
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.
- Killzone 3
Veteran? co-op
This game offered alternate color modes for colorblindness, which is awesome. Shame the dialogue and plot was so literally laughable.
- Resident Evil 5
Veteran? co-op Broke one level
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.
- F.3.A.R.
Fearless? co-op
As far as I can tell, these people have no idea what the phrase "survival horror" even means.

Halfway
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.

Extremely Indie
(This section is kinda by nature going to be extremely incomplete; a lot of these games take like ten minutes to play, and often get forgotten. Talk to me and I'll recommend more, and just check out every game by porpentine.)
Extremely Memorable
- Shadow of the Colossus
Hard Time Trials (Normal) Climbed the temple
I love this game so much I'm not even going to write about it. I'd say too much.
- Ico
Ico was very pretty, and had some of the same qualities that Shadow of the Colossus had, but it didn't tie together nearly so well.
- Mirror's Edge
Easy Test of Faith (Pacifist)
This game has the best platforming I've had the pleasure of experiencing - and I'm a sucker for good platforming.
- El Shaddai
Normal
I loved this game from an aesthetic point of view, but I kept waiting for the story to get interesting. I'm still waiting.
- Zeno Clash
The aesthetic really makes this game stand out.
- Iji
Normal Somewhat Pacifist
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
Normal No deaths
Valkyrie Chronicles had such a cool gameplay and storytelling style that I have to include it.
- No More Heroes
Mild All Beam Katanas
It's hard to describe this game. It was fascinating.
- Elite Beat Agents
Sweatin'! Hard ROCK!
Probably my favorite rhythm game.
- Silent Hill 2
Gave up In Water ending
As of September, 2013, this game is too scary for me. As of November, 2013, Glen and I finished it!
- OFF
Batter ending Judge ending
- Journey
White Cloak
The only game I've played or seen with such an emotionally powerful and compelling anonymous multiplayer experience.
- Bastion
Both endings Altruist (all vigils) Mind Voyager (each trip to Who Knows Where)
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.
