    Re: Best game of the year so far.... ?

    Not been a great deal of choice - most of it was spent playing last years games (like Fallout 3).

    Toss up between Dawn of War 2 and Dragon Age:Origins

    Madworld on the Wii is the stand out game for me.

    Re: Best game of the year so far.... ?

    Batman : Arkham Asylum (Own on PS3)
    Unchartered 2 - PS3
    Borderlands (Own on PS3)

    There are a few others that have stood out also for me. I like Cursed Mountain on the Wii, Dragon Age Origins on PC, Prototype on (I own on PS3).

    Theres been quite a few decent games out over last 2 months or so.

    Biggest Turkey for me this year has to be Op Flashpoint 2 though

    Re: Best game of the year so far.... ?

    So far it's between Uncharted 2 and Arkham Asylum for me but Guitar Hero Metallica, Shadow Complex and the GTA4 DLC packs deserve a mention as well in my opinion. People have been saying it's not been as big a year for games this year as it was last but as far as I'm concerned theres still at least six or seven different games I could quite happily call game of the year so it can't be all that bad

    Without a doubt it would have to be Borderlands for me. Looks fantastic, plays fantastic and is awesome in multi-player. Is addictive and keeps me hooked for hours at a time!

    Re: Best game of the year so far.... ?

    This year has seen a big change for me, most of the games I've bought have been for the ps3 as opposed to PC games in previous years.

    Best game of the year for me though, it's without a doubt Uncharted 2. Nothing else came close to what was such a great story, great acting, excellent attention to detail and essentially, non stop fun. Other games that have scored highly for me are Infamous and Dirt2

    Only PC game that I've really looked forward to all year as far as I can remember is Modern Warfare 2. However it's only been a few days so maybe too early to say how good the MP side of it really is until it settles down, but the dedicated server business has already left a bad taste for me, and I'm already missing them.
