I’d add Uncharted 2 & 3, Journey, Dragon’s Crown, and Infamous to that list (I’ve also heard many great things about Infamous 2 and Resistance 3, but haven’t played them myself) ;)
Journey and Dragon’s Crown seem right up my alley, although for different reasons. Journey sounds intriguing because of its desolate landscape waiting to be explored while Dragon’s Crown lures me in with the promise of some oldschool brawler action. Both have in common that they’re visually impressive. Might be cool. Never understood the praise for the Uncharted games, but I might even end up getting them if I find them in the bargain bin for really cheap (probably not). I’m on the fence about Infamous since I’ve played Prototype and didn’t like it too much, and Resistance 3 is a clear “No”: Never play a first person shooter on anything but a PC.
ethnogeneric replied to your post:
I personally loved Resonance of Fate, though I admit that it may not be for everybody.
Guess that includes me since everything about it rubs me the wrong way. Remember our brief conversation about Valkyria Chronicles and anime kitsch? Yeah.
In any case: Thanks for the suggestions, guys. In addition to what has been mentioned, I’ll probably get one of the Yakuza games, Catherine for the uniqueness and Armored Core: For Answer for some hot mecha on mecha action.
Best thing that happened to you so far this year? I was able to enjoy the company of my friends that live in LA.

Any embarrassing stories? My whole life is an embarrassing story. Here is a short one. One day I was talking on my phone in my room. Something came up so I had to leave my room.
