Unfortunately I haven't played the new PoP or Gears 2 yet, but of the others it is GTA4.  Bioshock is a close second, for all its influences it doesn't have the empathy of GTA.

Some of this thread got real scary... real quick.

If large countries (and the worlds only superpower) start to apportion blame there will never be peace in the region.  There have been warcrimes on both sides of this conflict.  Having grown up in the UK during the era of IRA bombings I know you only ever solve these things by getting the moderates on both sides to sit down and talk.

I am confident that your incoming President will give this more credence than your last one.

It's all subjective, but HL2 is an amazing game.  More so perhaps because it doesn't beat you over the head with it's storytelling and the characters are actually there for more than just plot progression.

I hope you stick with it, the payoff in the last two episodes is worth it (I think at least...)

Manic Mansion/Day of the Tentacle

Syndicate

Elite

Gonna stick with my old one unless a mindblowing game comes out that needs the new gimmic.. er functionality.

I wonder how much cheaper this is than shelling out for long-term post traumatic stress counselling?

I'd love to see something like Bloodbowl sell well (but it won't),  Starcraft worldwide... by some margin.
