@huntad: Yup, this is something I will slowly chip away at for years to come. I'm hoping 2017 will be a catch-up year. All that's really on my radar is Red Dead and maybe RE7.
@huntad: I played Rez on the 360 with an extra controller behind my lower back for added vibration haha and it became an instant classic. The music and visuals are somewhat of an acquired taste and you sort of have to let the experience absorb you. Child of Eden is basically the sequel to Rez and doesn't get enough love if you ask me.
Silent Hill 2 is likewise an unforgettable masterpiece of the medium.
They brought over the wrong GeomWars. There I said it!
Good choice for Best Moment - I remember being a bit giddy the first time I found one of those and I felt the immediate need to ask a friend who was also playing the game if he had discovered any.
@nagafen: Most people I know play/stick with Gears and Halo because of the competitive multiplayer. Frankly there's nothing quite like either of those game in terms of their mechanics, hence why those multiplayer communities still exist over a decade later and have survived without dev support at several points in their histories. The problem of player counts dwindling has almost always arisen out of the developer attempting something new that breaks the existing sandbox or pillars of gameplay and upsets the existing fans who have kept the game afloat. If you don't think it should exist, then don't play it. Plenty of people do.
