1) Halo 3
the game was so fucking awesome on Heroic Solo, I loved every last bit of it. I tried to hack it on Legendary, but snipers just kept raping me. Love the feeling you get every time you fuck up a Scarab.
Many hours were spent trying to secure a pre-emptive encounter by sniping Brutes with Gravity Hammers and Fuel Rods. Bastards.
I just loved it all, so much.
2) Saint's Row 2
guns, money, cars and strippers. What more could anyone want in a game? well you know, besides the removal of the censor bar.
You know it's fucking funny when someone makes their character look like Kurt Cobain and he's terrorizing the ghetto of Stillwater. Character customization is very detailed and you can actually find a few guides lying around on youtube or at gamefaqs on how to make your characters look like renowned rappers or even Will Smith.
I'd say the game plays a lot like the GTA series, but it's just got a distinguishable level of humor and some very cool characters, like Johnny Gat. Leader of a Rival Gang gets his woman killed, he intrudes on the funeral day. Johnny says he's not gonna kill anyone on that particular day, so they (you and Johnny) kick his ass and bury him in the coffin.
That's fucking hardcore.
My only real qualm with the game is that you can't play with other players who don't have the same DLC as you, regardless of whether or not you're going to explore that content.
3) Assassin's Creed 2
There's not much to say, but Assassin's Creed 2 was an amazing recovery from the bore that was the original Assassin's Creed gameplay. The story was better, the game was better. It was a massive and much needed improvement.
4) Tales of Vesperia
Tales of Vesperia is your typical hick boy goes on an adventure to save the world with his friends story, but I feel like Yuri and Flynn are characters of exceptional quality. It's the first time I've ever seen characters remind me so much of myself.
Yuri has a very strong sense of justice and retribution and is a very bold character. Flynn is Yuri's best friend, and eventually Yuri becomes a criminal. Being a Knight, Flynn has a hard time making the right decision knowing that it is his duty to apprehend criminals as well as promising himself that he would change how things worked from the inside, but he also can't bring himself to prosecute Yuri for the crimes he's committed.
The promise was a promise that Flynn and Yuri made together, but in Yuri's misfortune of witnessed events his nature prevents him from keeping this promise.
I really like most of the characters from this game, but Yuri is just such an overpowering and impressive character.
However, the gameplay suffers from artificial intelligence quite a bit. It's a bit sad really. the series took a step up from Tales of Symphonia in terms of gameplay when Tales of the Abyss came out, Tales of the Abyss had crappier characters (besides Jade) but massively better gameplay, and now we have Tales of Vesperia where the oppopsite philosophy of WoW Boss encounters applies: the more melee you have the better your party will be!
Karol and Raven both have healing abilities on top of their good defensive status and amounts of health. Rita has low health and when enemies target her she has no uptime on her offense because she can't even get a cast off.
but really the worst offenders are the fact that you can't switch targets on the last few seconds of a heal and that your melee characters won't even try to combo. They'll hit a boss like twice before they move back and run back in. Because of this, they usually take a lot of easily avoidable damage.
The game is clearly still playable... But you're going to notice when derpadurrrr runs back in and gets himself killed 2 times in a row.
