Arguably not a game, but i wanted to list it anyway. Interesting experience that I've had my eye on for a long time, since the first teaser trailer. Loved the vibes it gave off and I'm a sucker for these 'experience' rather than gameplay games. Beautiful too, which doesn't hurt. £9.99 (with soundtrack) might seem a bit steep for a title that lasted around an hour but I don't regret it. Going to pick up Journey finally, which I'm ashamed I haven't played yet, given we interviewed Kelly Santiago on our podcast about it and i was super hyped pre-release.

22: Diablo III (PC 6/7)

Ran through the single player portion of Starhawk, and after finding out I was playing on the EU server, I switched to the NA servers and had to start over again. Ran through normal with a demon Hunter this time. Way harder than the monk, but also more fun. You need to be on your toes as a DH around some of the bosses and yellow mobs.

I'm playing Beyond Good and Evil on PS3 (HD version) at the moment. Got PS2 version from Ebay a couple years ago but disk turned up scratched so couldn't play It's really good so far, i love the visuals. Lots of charm.

Excellent! Man, every time I see people only play Shadow of the Colossus from the HD collection, while ignoring ICO, it makes me really sad.

23-Beyond Good & Evil HD

[zippypatrick]

Excellent! Man, every time I see people only play Shadow of the Colossus from the HD collection, while ignoring ICO, it makes me really sad.

Yeah, it's a shame some people look over ICO. I got SOTC a long time ago and adored it, it's probably my favourite game ever. Got ICO on PS2 maybe a year later and played about an hour before having some errors with the disk, i didn't get round to picking up another copy because they were kinda expensive, so the HD collection was right up my street. ICO was brilliant too, such a well crafted game.

Got for about £5 when my local Game was shutting. Loved the gameplay, so exciting and really makes you feel like a badass. It's been a while since a game has had me saying 'OH DAMMMMN' and such to this extent. A bit on the short side, just over 5hrs30 on the game's timer. Would love to see a sequel one day, don't know how likely that is though.

Finished nightmare mode with my demon hunter. More difficult for sure, especially when they drop 2 or three blue/yellow mobs on you all throwing up walls, lobbing mortars, and putting down arcane turrets at the same time... Still loving it though.
