I play a lot of Games together with my gf. I am playing, she is watching :P ).

We really really enjoyed Beyond: Two soulds and Heavy Rain!!! This is what u need if u wanna get a girl interested to videogames.

After I got her to play videogames, I bought many Lego-Games. A lot of fun together.
he3..what a nice gf. It used to be like that here, but now she's addicted to something called Polyvore. So gone is my trusty gaming buddy.

But I just bought Laracroft: The Guardian of Light to start over, hopefully it will work this time.

Those two tittles are exactly on my list! This time she play the game and I watch :) Going to be a nice break before playing Diablo III. Pity that Heavy Rain didn't have a download version, since I prefer the download version for all of my game. Will buy the disc for that one.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is going cheap now, it has a mixed review, but interesting to me. Since spiritual thriller is on the limited side on console, specially for a Gabriel Knight fans like me.

Btw, I am playing a onlineshooter (called : UrbanTerror) since 2007. It is a quake3 mod and still very adictive to me.

So my Favorite List is
I'm going to play TLOU next week..after not playing any game seriously this week. So I can fully enjoy it.

It's surprising that UrbanTerror, something that I just heard right now has such a high rank over those great games! Must be something really special. Will keep in mind about it, because I'm not into FPS actually, more into TPS kind of shooter.

That's a great list, several of the game choices are similar with mine. I just did a mini review for Hitman in local language. Already finished Tomb Raider, Batman: Arkham City and UC3. Those are certainly on my top rank list of the story driven games:
1. Sleeping Dogs
2. Vanquish
3. Infamous 2
4. Tomb Raider
5. UC3
6. The Witcher 2
7. Batman Arkham City
8. Hitman Absolution

I'm a big fan of Indiana Jones, the first two tittles for pc were among the first game that I ever finished, along with GK. But disappointed with the lego version, played that on PSP a long time ago. May be I'll give another try using a big screen.

You will love TLOU!!!

After some hours of playing (5 days, 3-5 hours). I thought it is over in the next hours, but then there was a change in the story and i noticed that i just played 1 quarter o the story.

That was a really nice moment for me and my gf.


I would give the lego series another try, but only in coop mode it is fun. (cause you can kill your partner :) )

I got to the part where you are hanging upside down and you have to shoot a clicker in the head (possibly several times) before it kills you. I attempted this for about a half hour and then I just retired the game. :x

Since I don't have the kind of time I'd like to play video games and I get bored of most of them midway I still enjoy watching them so I'm grateful for the people who do a great job of capturing just the campaigns in high quality and putting them up on YT.
For example Last Of Us and Watch Dogs. In reality I'm not going to play them even though I'd love to, but it's still fun to watch them on YT just like any other show. Same with Heavy Rain:)

I was playing in easy mode. :x

The new Wolfenstein has a super easy mode where they put a baby bonnet and binky on your character. I was rather enjoying the game until it got to a boss battle with a giant robot that was firing a bunch of different weapons at you that you have to shoot out one at a time while constantly dodging and recharging your weapon. I only found out how to do that after watching a 20 minute video showing the whole routine. Pass. :x

I only played a little when it first came out. But yeah I'd jump in. It can get pretty chaotic if people just roll in and blast on you. Taking out those bandit strongholds with a friend would be fun though.

Oh, I forgot to say what Iam playing right now. I play X-COM:Declassified.
Time to Face Scan http://youtu.be/5S0zH4Z57mY

I used to be a loyal fan of EA sports game, from NBA Live to NBA Street to Fight Night and Fifa.
But seems like EA just lost their touch for the sport games, so I'm more into PES and NBA 2K series now.
Hopefully the new NBA Live 2015 going to be a come back for EA, since many people claim that FIFA 2015 is superb.

imho the trailer of the new FIFA 2015 is one of the best ever http://youtu.be/Q21bznzy_HY

How do you like X-COM? I've tried to like "Enemy Unknown" but can't.

I've been stuck on steam for months playing with friends and family through Australian winters. Mainly:

- Payday 2
- Supreme Commander 2
- Skyrim
- Garrys Mod
- Saints Row 3

I have also gone back to play through Bioshock 1 before I play through Infinite. Also played though the new Wolfenstein and thought that was OK until the final boss which I thought was just way too hard compared to the rest of the gameplay so I got bored when I had to actually read up on what to do FFS.

Lame or not I have also just jumped on Minecraft because my 5YO daughter has been wanting to play games on the PC and kept telling me about this game she saw her cousins play. It's a great trainer for using KB+Mouse for kids and being networkable means I can play too. Even have the wife getting into it where she is not a gamer but those building blocks are addictive.

Played GTAV on PS3 all the way through but will buy it again on PC just to see it how it was suppose to be played.

Hopefully, I usually don't like a very long game, except for this one. Planned to dedicate a month just for the game. Hopefully my wife will like it too, she enjoyed watching me playing UC3 and Tomb Raider.

Only tried Lego in a single player mode, never knew it has a fun coop mode. Is it online or local? Interested mostly in local co-op.

I usually play in a normal mode, except for Saints Row: The Third, because I just want to enjoy the stupid time..less brain, the better :D

So, what do you suggest me for playing TLOU..easy or normal mode? I'm not a platinum hunter, but I like collecting trophies. Does easy mode affect trophies?

You should definitely try Vanquish, it based on a simple story and shoot em all the way, with cool bosses battles http://youtu.be/U5qHL3yVCGY

Great list, I will try Red Dead Redemption and Blacklist one day. Always curious about Tom Clancy's series, but I'm not really good on heavy stealth game. More of an open fight type of person. How difficult was it compared to Hitman or Arkham City?

The trailer never grabbed me, mind to share more about the exciting part of the game?

yes, I imagine that it's going to be useful for people with limited time like my brother in law, who used to be a hardcore gamer.
