Epic Fail

Monday, March 01, 2010
A worldwide PS3 error bricked my system yesterday. So, as of right now, I'm two consoles in the hole (at least until Sony gets a fix out).

While I'm mulling over that with generous amounts of bitter disdain, I've another top 5 list. Because that's just how cool I am.

Top 5 Games of All Time (the Annoyed At Sony Edition)

1.) Borderlands: This is the first FPS that I've not just thoroughly enjoyed, but I'm good at it. The story is a little on the sketchy side, but gameplay is fun, and Claptraps make me think of Wall-E as a teenager. (I want one!)

2.) Mass Effect 2: It's predecessor would have been on this list until the release of this here gem. The game is a spectacular improvement in every way, and it looks unbelievable in 1080p.

3.) Final Fantasy X: Sprinkled with liberal amounts of nostalgia, I'll admit, this game has an incredible story. It was the first Final Fantasy game I'd ever played, and it's what I bought my PS2 for after I'd given it a go at my cousin's house. CGI scenes still stand up, but in game graphics are a little painful to look at now. I also loved this game despite the wretched Cloister of Trials. Mention of the crazy awesome soundtrack is also obligatory.

4.) Xenosaga III: For so many reasons, I love this game. It's the best in the trilogy, though if you can't stomach the first two games....don't bother here. You will not understand a thing. The ridiculously convoluted story and hours worth of cutscenes are the icing on the cake for me, but not so much with 99% of the rest of the gaming population.

5.) Ceasar's Palace: It's an old school Super Nintendo casino game. Er, it's mostly just a nostalgic OCD thing on my part.

It's getting harder and harder to narrow down gaming favorites, what with all the incredible games that have been coming out. Also, because I have to end this on an equally bitter note as what I started it with, this PS3 error is killing developer consoles too.

Game over?
