It turns out that the unyielding onslaught of enemies and obstacles in Geometry Wars provides a pretty accurate metaphor describing a typical day in a corporate office. This article may help to make sense of, and almost find comfort in, the day-to-day insanity.
Darren writes: "At a glance, you’d assume Geometry Wars had been around for decades, originating in the arcades alongside classics such as Space Invaders and Pac-Man. It had that classic formula, looking and feeling like a retro staple of the gaming world."

No love for Triple Triad from Final Fantasy VIII? Lol. Good list though. I also remember really liking that arcade game in Catherine, and hope Full Body includes it too. Granted, it might be a bit too similar to the main game to top any lists.
I think it was knowing I would have to play Gwent multiple times whilst playing the Witcher3 caused me to lose interest for this game. That and since I was just at the beginning of the game and maybe not paying attention, I did not know where to go to repair my sword after the fight with the "thing" in the well.
Keep hearing very good things about this game, so I'm going to have to give it another go and pay attention.
Can you skip the Gwent sections, or is the game built into the storyline and no way around?
You can totally ignore Gwent if you want, and you won't be missing anything. Witcher 3 takes a minute to find its footing because your repair bills in the beginning are tough and it can be discouraging. Make use of bombs, potions, and study the skill trees carefully.
I initially stopped playing, but then I forced myself to go back. Well, I kept at it and kept enjoying it. Things are rough in the beginning, but if you keep playing you'll be rewarded with a great story and experience overall.
@SyntheticForm thanks for the information and advice. I really do want to play the Witcher3 but was under the false impression that the Gwent sections were some how integral to the story or gameplay somehow and were non skippable.
Surprised they never made a stand alone blitzball game with more fluid game play
don't mention it. i bloody hated it. should it be not mandatory to play, could be another story

While waiting for the next batch of backwards compatible games, GCP came up with a list of 10 original Xbox Games they still want to see become backwards compatible on Xbox One.
Is there a reason you don't want to play Ninja Gaiden: Black as that is the first game but improved and is already on the XBO bc list.
Where in the F is Spliter Cell MS!
They have at least 10 games from the og xbox/360 gen that would make excellent xb1/scarlett games. MS just dont like making sequels unless its Halo, Gears, Forza, and recently Ori/State of Decay.
MS doesn't even own the Splinter Cell IP, you should be directing your first statement towards Ubisoft.
JSRF
Fatal Frame 1 and 2
Splinter cell games
Silent hill 4
Gun valkyrie
Outrun 2
So many good OG xbox games
I'd be happy with the Otogi games, brute force and conflict desert storm. Maybe some full spectrum warrior too
