Demon's Souls doesn't belong on the list. That game got so popular.

Metro 2033 will make your GPU Bleed! AWESOME game and i can't wait for Metro Last Light!
Sniper Elite V2 is dam good and again you may wanna go check the digital download numbers cause S.E.v2 was more popular with PC gamers than consolers just like Metro 2033!
good list of games though!

I would add
Vanquish
Chid of eden
A nice mix of uber masculine western males and the ridiculousness of the east.
Love it.
FEAR is a highly underrated series.
I'd like to see Condemned 3 aswell.
A flawed masterpiece IMO - big fun factor and interesting game mechanics, just not expertly executed like i would've liked.
The multiplayer is alot of fun.
The people that hate it seem to be the COD kids expecting COD. I tried selling it to COD kids several times and they don't play past the first level.
Singularity's story/plot twists were contrived, uninteresting and poorly thought out.
I have never played any of the CODs ever.
Not trying to step on anyones feet here but I enjoyed Binary Domain a lot more than I enjoyed any of the Gears games. It had a much better story, incredible boss fights, and above all there was much more feedback when shooting enemies. Parts flying all over the place. It's like a perfect mix between Vanquish and Gears actually.
If you are going to try it out don't judge it by the demo on XBL. The full game is a much better experience and one that any shooter fan should give themselves. Oh, and Singularity is amazing too. Has a kind of Half-Life flair to it.
Other than that I agree with the list for the most part.....except maybe Saboteur which is really BOOBS, the game.
Well most video games have mediocre at best stories if not any story at all. So calling SOTD terrible because of its lack of story is pretty baseless.
<terrible gameplay that is suppose to mimic Resident Evil 4 but fails completely,>
Disagreed. Unlike RE4 or even 5, SOTD had more character freedom of movement. The ability to move while shooting. Virtually all modern TPS games have this. Even Dead Space despite not being able to evade.
<oh and they say dick and a** EVERY OTHER WORD.>
So does Bulletstorm.
*For the record I've never played it, so i have no sense of the quality of the story. Just thought it was interesting logic.
SOTD was a mediocre shooter at best. You could argue it was "unique" in its universe, but that doesn tmean good.
And OMG the lame humor. There was one part you had to hold off the enemies and he just kept saying "take my big boner". I was like THIS is funny? No, its trying to hard to be edgy or cool.
"You could argue it was "unique" in its universe, but that doesn tmean good."
A rough translation in the english language.
"This game was unique but i didn't like it."
Oh and the humor. Has it occurred to you that maybe some people genuinely like that sort of raunchy toilet humor?? Myself included. Yeah, just something you should think about.
As for the "translation", I was basically referring to how many gamers "gush" over unique games, many times overlooking basic quality issues. Poor writing, weak gameplay, etc often get overlooked as long as something is deemed "unique".
As for raunchy toilet humor, that is fine if you like that. I didn't. Low brow or toilet humor can be funny at times (see bulletstorm) but SOTD just seemed weak.
As you can have your opinion, I also have mine.
You listening?
Note: As asked in a PM, I wasn't sure if your post was meant to debate and exchange ideas, or if it was intended for a bit of an attacking post. Just figured I would ask. I am all for an open exchange and all, but not here to be in a pissing match, so to speak.
Binary Domain seems interesting, i'll give it a try
I believe it is the most underrated game ever made.
The Saboteur was very good.
Except the last one.
"I know for a fact that if you played this game that scene with said giant animal scared the living crap out of you just like it did me."
that was the one of the begist WTF moment I've ever seen in a game o_o .. its scared the shit out of me
Outside of Odyssey (which I never liked a NT game, they seem to have no idea how to make a proper combat experience) and SOTD (mediocre shooter, trying to hard dialogue and writing) I agree with several of these.
sotd had mediocre gamplay but the way the game went grindhouse style allowed idiotic things to happen which i didnt mind. it didnt really take itself seriously which gave it abit of style. maybe it was the makers of the game that actually made me enjoy the game more than i should have.
odyssey was a game that i was tempted to buy day one but cancelled on the last minute. i led nt because of heavenly sword and will probably buy dmc day one aswell. odyssey however just looked strange, maybe the idea that they bastardised/f**ked up journeybto the west. monkey/goku just didnt look likable at all.
Enslaved is OK but I found it too be too drawn out.
The weakest on the list is IMO Saboteur. Not sure I'd recommand this one, really depends on your ability to overlook some severe design flaws.
The lack of fast travel and the simplistic stealth system killed it. On top of that, it's way short for an open world game.
Darkness II was a nice surprise. They took out most non linear aspects that made the first good, but it still manages to be quite immersive and emotional.
Binary Domain is OK but character development is uneven, and level design a bit bland.
Condemned 2 fleshed out the hand to hand combat of the first one well, with some nice combos, but the slightly forced gothic visuals were a bit too dark and mindnumbing at times.
