Favorites 18
Everyone has a favorites list. I can't really remember everything I like since I sorta have to be in the right frame of mind to even remember stuff I liked or still like. Played many games...

Mortal Kombat characters I like to play 2
I find myself usually playing certain MK characters, preferring some over others. This is my attempt to figure out just how many there really are.

Wii games people apparently like 5
Where I try to list all the games people tend to like, to help counter the blind hatred some people have for the Wii because the franchise is successful without these folks having given any money to Nintendo. I've not even SEEN a Wiimote in person,

Favorite Publishers/Developers 4
Everybody has their bad games, but these publishers and developers have churned out enough great stuff for me to keep me genuinely interested in their work, even if it goes into genres I ordinarily don't play. If there's one on this list, I highly re

Game Boy games I TOTALLY own 3
I mean "own" as in have in my possession; I haven't even beaten Tactics Ogre or Tactics Advance yet.

I've watched these all the way through but never played them 14
Tired of being left behind in games conversations, I've just watched the games I've begun watching others play games I've wanted to see. It's not usually the ideal method, obviously, but some of the elements in most games can be enjoyed no matter ho

Intriguing Minimalism 8
I don't know why, but white-on-black minimalism somehow does something to my brain. I can't get enough of it. Maybe it started when I saw the white halls of Bespin in Empire Strikes Back, only to find the corruption within. This theme was repeate

Inspiring Premise 2
Whether or not I know a thing about the game itself, the premise causes creative sparks in my brain.

Games Purchased in Tokyo Summer 2009 5
This is the list of games I acquired in my trip to Tokyo during the summer of 2009. The majority of them are probably from Super Potato in Akihabara, but there are probably other sources, too.

Arcade Games Played in Tokyo Summer 2009 5
Game centers in Tokyo are a pretty damn flashy spectacle and as long as you don't have epilepsy, that's in a good way. This is thusly a list of arcade games I gave some love to over the course of my trip in summer 2009.

Soul Calibur characters I like, or play frequently 3
Started playing Soul Calibur II when we had a guest over, and got reacquainted with the game. Wanted to record some of my thoughts on the game by highlighting some of my favorite characters, both ones I play, and ones that look cool but don't happen

Games which trigger my rage gene 2
With everyone a bit weary over the mindless, screaming debates of late, I thought I'd commemorate a bit of my personal gaming rage in a short list of games that make me go a bit crazy.

Games that Managed to Spook Me 13
Not so easy to do unless you do the JUMP IN YOUR FACE thing. The good ones get inside your head. This list will probably increase the more remember some of the old nightmare games of my past.

Games with Music that Haunts Me 10
I tend not to think about music so much in games. I guess it's all about how it fits together. But sometimes a track really stands out, and I turn into a Youtube zombie until I can find it. Here are games that spring to mind as having tracks that par

Simple Can Be Good 4
In many ways, you can't go home again. I grew up with the 2600, moved on to the Atari 400, and kept going up the gaming evolutionary chain, usually a few steps behind where everyone else was. Cheaper that way. Many of the games, when I picked them

Not Color-Blind Friendly 4
You heard me! Not every one of the offenders really makes a huge impression on me; I usually manage to find ways around the problems. Every once in a while, though, the game becomes all but unplayable due to bad color choice. Special awards go to

Interesting Aliens or Supernatural Creatures 2
I honestly don't know if they're out there. I love that we use our imagination to guess what they might be like, but too often people try to make aliens a bit TOO relatable. Since it's impossible to guess what a true alien might be like, aliens wil

Apocalyptic Toolkit 7
You know what? I don't care if it's zombies, the bomb, aliens, robots, foreigners, domestics, whatever. If people get feral on me, I'll be sure to let them know that there was once a vast, complicated, imperfect civilization, and that I saw it all.

If Pepsiman were a developer, she'd be taking notes from these games. 5
Good games or bad, if I were ever to be in a designing position at a game developer, these are the ones on which I'd be taking notes. By no means is this a "best of" list, though; sometimes the greatest hits offer the fewest lessons because of how th

Stuff I Regret I Missed Out On 4
This is more about stuff that can't be played on the current line of consoles and computers. I realize there are ways, many ways, to play old games, but I'm talking the straight and narrow here.

For those of us who have friends or partners who actually live in the same house, whom you don't want to kick out in order to play a video game with, this song is for you.

If I get a PS3... 17

DARK DARK DARK DARK DARK 21
As much as I like the word dark, I'm making this list to remind myself just how often people have been overusing it! :)

Quirky Games Worth Checking Out 10
Sometimes it's a premise too abstract to ever make gangbusters in the mainstream. Sometimes it's got a unique sort of charm you just can't find elsewhere. Whatever the reason, these are games that, while very likely flawed in some way, are still wort

Games I Own That Go Against My Conscience 5
Bad games are bad games, no matter how you slice them, but sometimes it's precisely because of their mediocrity that they're still worth buying anyway. That's what this list is for, compiling games I know I probably shouldn't own, but have acquired a

Mass Effect as Human Training Simulation for Inclusion into Spacefaring Culture 2
As Jokek's A History of Human Inclusion shows, the video game Mass Effect was instrumental in preparing a sizable quantity of human fledglings for their initial induction into Galactic society. Since then, humans have, in turn, been instrumental in

Games with Iconic Final Boss Battles (Spoilers much?) 8
For some reason or other, these are the games whose final bouts within the main storyline stuck out the most to me. It might be the gameplay, it might be the difficulty, it might be something else altogether. When a game knows how to not make its las

Abstract Game of the Year Awards 2009 70
[blank] of the year awards tend to be rather cliched affairs at times, even if I'm not helping by making my own lists. To rectify that, the following is a list of 2009 games that would get more abstract awards from me. It doesn't necessarily take a w

Power Up the Mainframe! (Games that use painfully anachronistic computing references) 0
Despite some notable exceptions, mainframes are on the outs compared to distributed networks. Distributed networks allow you to link a bunch of cheap computers and get decent processing power and relative security as compared to the old centralized

Emotional Shot to the Gut (Spoilerburgh) 1
That a manly enough title for you? Some games I spend enough time with that I become attached to the characters. It's different than a book or a movie, but there's still a connection, and the investment of time and interest can lead to some pretty ha

Games I've Broken 10
Let's see if I remember to add to this list. I have a talent for breaking games. Makes me a good tester, but it also makes me a harsh critic who pushes for robust design.

Perfect Arc 0
Maybe I just clicked with the game, but these felt like they had a great arc that I like to revisit, even long after these games came and went.

Games That Have Deprived Me of Study Time at the Worst Opportunities 6
Ordinarily, I'm a pretty studious person. I have my book-cramming and paper-writing schedule more or less set into stone so I can properly budget free time into my routine. This tends to work out pretty well. I get stuff done and usually still have e

Hidden SHMUPS 2
Weird as this may sound, there are a few games out there that try to put shoot-em-up into their perfectly innocent side-scrolling action platformer or action RPG. Here's the only two I can think of right now, but feel free to suggest others.
