Unlike Diablo 3, I avoided most of the coverage of this game. This probably contributed to me liking it a whole heck of a lot more. Great shooting, unique humour, interesting enemies, significant character progression choices (NUKE TURRET) and a million times better with friends. Of all the RPGs on this list, Borderlands 2 hits all the right notes for me. I'm looking to get back in for another go if anyone's interested (XBOX Live Tag: Esteven713).

What a surprise of a game. I loved the story of this game and it has all the fun (addictive) RPG trappings that you'd want. Came back to this for the DLCs a little later in the year and still found it very enjoyable. I also took the recommendation from some fellow Bombers to avoid the sidequests when they start to wear on you. The faction and main quest still make this a huge excellent game.

I finished the back third of this game in one long Saturday sitting. I forgot to eat all day and rushed toward the end (wanted to see what all the talk was about). I was incredibly bummed that night as the credits rolled and made dinner for myself at 2 am because I couldn't sleep. Going back to it now for some of the DLC, I do appreciate the rest of the game. I think its probably got the second best third-person shooter controls (behind the Gears of War series). Between the squad members, powers and the mechanics of tearing down shields/barriers/amor, I have a lot of fun with this as a shooter.

Pre-ordered this for 360 after hearing Vinny's reception on the Bombcast (and QL). Excellent storytelling and some interesting mechanics that set it apart from other games of its kinda.

Played these in pretty quick succession a week ago because of the hype. A powerful game. Hoping this encourages storytelling of its kind in future games.
-
My expectations for this game were simply too high (having to wait over ten years for a sequel to one of your favourite games will do that). It's really fun but the story and character building (or lack thereof) keep me from coming back.
-
I played this for the first time this year. Great game but took a break at Sen's Fortress (out of frustration). Hoping to get back to this during the Holidays.
-
I had fun with this, but I wasn't a fan of the loot system and it took too long to get going. If only all the dungeons could be as inventive as they are towards the end.
-
Reminded me I really want a proper sequel to Alan Wake (as unlikely as it may be). The arcade mode is throw-away, but I can recommend this if your looking for more of the first game.

Great multi-player game I played with a friend who recommended to me. Not so good playing alone.
