    That can't be serious. I mean, I can't even remember what was the ending to Black Ops. That's how good it was.

    You find out what the numbers mean. Also, sunglasses. Or something.

    edit: My apologies for an absolutely terrible top post

    The whole list was a joke; it was mostly a circlejerk of recent popular games or really old console games that everyone played as a kid (which you'd expect from a popular vote, but still).

    Games like Freespace 2 or Alice: Madness Returns certainly deserved a mention. I'm a huge fan of Fallout 3, but there's no way its ending is better than either of those, and I'm sure the same holds true for many other games on that list.

    that's not even the ending so much as the twist in the penultimate chapter.

    If there was a world record for most wrong list, this one would be a pretty strong contender.

    That sounds a lot like the post apocalyptic martial arts movie script I dream of writing.

    It is called The Atomic Fist: Tales of the Kung-Future

    Just got a free code of Dear Esther for review.

    I wonder how difficult it'll be to review this. Last I checked, the original was more of an atmospheric story game, not sure if they changed anything for the remake.

    Regardless, it looks pretty and I get it a day before anyone else, so woop woop.

    I'll also probably have a review ready for Fortune Summoners midway this week.

    I've seen a lot of comments from people who self-proclaim that they know nothing about Dear Esther (including reviewers) and can't wait to give it a spin. I can't wait to see the reactions.

    I've already read one 5/10 review today.

    I haven't played Black Ops yet, but I have played through MW2's SP campaign, and it sure as shit does not deserve to be ranked 15 places ahead of ME2.

    In my opinion.

    I am intentionally keeping myself in the dark. Besides seeing a few screenshots and knowing the game's origins I don't know anything and want to experience it without any expectations except that I want to explore a really pretty thing!

    Wasn't Bastion in an indie bundle? That probably made the completion percentage plummet.

    To be honest I'm surprised at how high that is, I was expecting about 25%. But that's the cynic in me talking.
