Let's keep it punchy, no reasoning. Just list your top three games! In no particular order mine are: 1) Bioshock. 2) GTA IV 3) Flatout: Total Carnage.
Halo 3 Ghostbusters: The Video Game Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Of course, I've never played Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, or any of those other really popular games.
The order would depend a lot on my mood, but Mass Effect Bioshock Fallout 3 I'm tempted to put Borderlands up there, too, but it hasn't been out long enough and I haven't played through far enough to see if it's going to be hold up as well long term as my other choices.
Mass Effect Fallout 3 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion* *probably to be replaced by Dragon Age: Origins come November 5th And yes, I'm a glutton for western RPGs. Haven't played Borderlands yet, so this list is subject to change.
1) Saints Row (inc Saint's Row 2, just to be awkward and get a fourth option) 2) Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 3) Um, er, now it gets difficult... Probably either Rainbow Six Vegas, Hitman Blood Money, Need For Speed Carbon, Crackdown, or The Orange Box as a whole
