There's no such thing as a best game ever made because personal taste and what system you are using to judge a game by. Oblivion and Skyrim have a ton of issues but are by far and away my two favorite games of all time. Yet some games that may be considered perfect I may consider boring. There is no game that could qualify for best game ever made and it's silly to even think there is one.

That said, I fell deeply in love with Oblivion when I first played it much like my love of Skyrim now.

It irks me when Jeff says Burnout Paradise is the best game of last gen because it's just his favorite game of last gen. That's the only statement you can ever make.

Elder Scrolls by far.

That show is incredible!

The horror genre lost its appeal to me when it went the whole amnesia way. I don't enjoy being hunted through the whole game. If a game can scare me and be fun to play, then that's the horror game I want. Resident Evil 2 and Dead Space 2 are my ideal horror games because they have the right balance of scares and action. One long game of hide and seek isn't my idea of a good time.

Either that or a game like Gone Home where the atmosphere is what is scary not continually being hunted. That's what makes the best horror movies so good, it's that the running for your life is only happening in 20mins of the hour and a half film. There's a big difference between fear and stressed.

Ok, I caved and bought Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Child of Light. The first games I've purchased in this sale.

I love Legend of Korra and I love platinum games, so no complaints here.

Cliffhanger is the closest thing to the original Die Hard, even more so than any of the Die Hard sequels.

I really enjoyed Bad Company 2 and not really anything since.

So far not that much... There have been more disappointments this year for me than surprises. But games coming out later this year give me hope.

Dark Souls II and Bravely Default were easily my favorites and that's about it. That said I have yet to play Child of Light or Wolfenstein: New Order, which I think I may like. Transistor, Jazz Punk, Infamous: Second Son and Metal Gear weren't bad, just disappointing for me. Watch_Dogs and South Park don't appeal to me, so I probably won't play them.
