Fable II is the most recent one, namely this week. I've already returned it, so I'll try to resist last-minute changes of heart from now on. There's also a bunch of those games in my Steam library for obvious reasons, but I haven't played them yet.
Now that I finally have some significant free time during the weekend after 2 months of exams, I'm going to be playing some CoD 4 (of course), getting started on Darksiders (which I got during the Steam sale) and maybe finally getting into StarCraft II multiplayer. I'm kind of excited.
It used to be strategy (RTS, TBS, city-building)by a mile, but right now I don't think I have a favorite genre. My least favorite is probably fighting games, because I suck at them and I don't have the patience (or the skill) to become at least decent.
In most games I go for Hard difficulty. The only game I've played on Normal in recent times was Modern Warfare 2 and I enjoyed it a lot less than the previous installments which I played on Hard, simply (probably) because it shortened the game by an hour and a half or so. I also switched back to Normal on God of War: Chains of Olympus, because playing it on Hard on a PSP was hurting my hands too much. I have never completed a game on its hardest difficulty though (only a few levels in CoD 4).
Objectively speaking I would probably have to agree with 1998, you can't really argue against that list. However, since I was 8 then, I didn't get to play most of them. For me personally, it was 2007: BioShock, Call of Duty 4, Portal, Europa Universalis III, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Civilization IV - Beyond the Sword. That's not even counting Mass Effect, which came out in 2008 for PC.
And if 2011 is going to be even half as good as we expect it to be, it's going to be up there.
There is just too much coming out in 2011, and I haven't even caught up with 2009 and 2010 yet (and 2007 and 2008 for that matter). Fortunately at least some of them will be postponed.
