Regarding the PS4 controller: I hated the old Dual Shock design. The PS1, 2, and 3 always had great games, but using that controller dug into my palms and made them ache.

That being said, the PS4 has improved the controller design in every imaginable way save one; the sticks being side by side rather than offset. That's not a flaw though, just my personal preference. I like the Xbox design better for shooters and the PS4 is WAY better for fighting games. Both controllers have gotten their share of improvements though. The Xbox fixed it's laughable D-pad, the Sony was made far more comfortable to use.

I don't know if that helps you decide, and personally I've had way more fun with my Xbox. But I wouldn't let the PS4 controller put you off if you really want to go with Sony. Good luck deciding! :)

Thanks @zombiepie!

Really hope you're feeling better! :)

I picked Halo: Combat Evolved for your poll. But honestly, there's really no way to say which is the definitive best as each one has it's own merits.

I think Halo: Combat Evolved has the best campaign. It's lengthy, it tells a self contained story, and had some great moments that rank among my favorite in gaming.

Halo 2 had that great classic multiplayer that was pretty much perfect and it set the standard in its day.

Halo 3 had the best co-op I think. While I prefer the story in Halo 1, the wrap up in Halo 3 was great and all the added weaponry and equipment made for the absolute best co-op. Campaign Scoring and the Theater and Forge were great additions that added a whole new level to the ways we could have fun in a Halo game as well.

ODST has the best version of Firefight. The campaign was also very fun and I liked the characters.

Reach... well Reach was a game that many people seem to not have enjoyed the multiplayer. But I loved it. By the time Halo 3 came around, I was kinda getting tired of just the same old FFA, team deathmatch and Big Team Battle modes, and Reach had some great chaotic multiplayer that made it stand out for me. I would never say it's the best multiplayer, but I did really appreciate it. And I loved that Six was customizable. It was MY Spartan through the campaign, the co-op, the multiplayer, and the Firefight mode. That gave it an edge for me. Plus assassinations were awesome and the DMR was a game changer.

Halo 4... well Halo 4 kinda sucked for me. The campaign was weak. And while it was ambitious, the Spartan Ops was a poor substitute for Firefight. Also the multiplayer was fun but a bit too CoD for it's own good, and I hated the Prometheans. But I had fun playing the story co-op anyway, so I'm not calling it a total loss.

Bottom line: They are all great in their own way. Even Halo Wars has it's charms (though obviously it would have been better as a PC release).

Going to get it for sure.

This year has had some great games, some disappointments, and a whole lot of average stuff. MCC has been my number one pick since it was announced. I can't wait to see Halo 2 in all it's new HD glory, I can't wait to play the old Halo 1 multiplayer on Xbox Live, and honestly I just want to revisit some of the old favorites in the new 60/1080.

Can't wait for MCC!

Wow, thanks @zombiepie :)

@brutushayesosu: That is fantastic! :)

I'm going to load up Horizon and download that one ASAP!

@zombiepie: Awesome!

Super Smash Kart is a game I'd love to see. And have it be just as nuts as the roster for Smash Bros. Wii Fit Lady, Kirby, throw in anyone they like. It's really the next logical step.

I would buy that so fast, you have no idea.

Give him a Master Laser Sword, some Space Armor, etc. You can do the same gameplay loop, just use a sci-fi background instead of a fantasy one.

I'd love that!

Oh and, that motorbike looks pretty sweet too. :)

Shoving one aspect into other games was never the point of what I was saying though. It's one interesting part of an otherwise pretty decent game. The point was that I hope people expand on it while doing their own thing as well. (Preferably in a Star Wars setting, but that is just my personal taste. )
