    you know the game I'm not terrified to play is Demon's Souls. This game is so hard that I am giving it back...good riddance.

    I'll get MW2.

    where's AC2?

  • Nosnitsttam

    @bredeyabo - maybe not AC1. but AC2? are you kidding me? it is incredibly time consuming, there are so many side missions and different things to collect, not to mention many different approaches to all the missions. and come on, trials HD isn't THAT time consuming either. yes its very good and very addictive but i'd put AC2 on there instead.

    Man I need to get Fallout 3 and Borderlands...

    @Nosnitsttam assassins creed wasn't that time consuming as these other games.

    in generally all rpg & racing game is ruin my social lives!
    talking about fallout 3, dragon age, is like my breakfast, lunch, dinner,
    & ma nightmare. looking forward for borderland to play tough! because MW2 is only last half of ma day in veteran level! great game, but still too fast for me!

    this game list indeed become the source of ma unsocialized live

    Dragon age is great, real friends put in storage for now.
    Can't wait for Diablo 3.

    Too bad WoW is still a joke, most of the rest of the games are cool though.

    I most admit that Fallout 3 took a lot of my time, a lot.
    but the two games that taken most out of my life most have been FFXII and MGO, I actually had to trade in MGS4 when I got Dragon Age to stop playing it, I miss MGO so much

    I don't know about you'll but for the past couple of years I've seen and played some of the best games of all time, each new release out doing the others. And it looks like 2010 will continue the trend.... I actually get mild bouts of depression whenever my girl or family plan an outdoor activity that will eat away from my one on one time with my true love one..... Mrs. XBox 360

    demon's souls much?... spent about 50+ hours on that... and only have half the darn trophies...

    FO3 has awesome story telling and amount of quests. Not to mention Mods that contains quests and other cool stuff that keeps you playing whole day.

  • whizeguy

    Posted Nov 25, 2009 6:17 pm PT

    Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 both sucked 50+ hours outta my life, been a while since single player games have claimed that feat. And I don't even wanna talk about how much time Steam says I've played Left 4 Dead, that number just can't be right, but I've got 25+ hours in on Left 4 Dead 2, and that's between Warhammer Online marathons...I really need to get out more.

    its a shame Assassins Creed 2 isnt on that list. it has everything i loved in the first one while making everything else a whole lot better. best open world game since prototype

    It's gonna be tough to get out when Starcraft 2 comes out as well as Bioshock 2, Mafia 2, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

    I wanna get MW2 but I think it'd be best to just buy borderlands then wait for Christmas to get it, or should I do it the other way around..choices choices choices..

    i honestly cannot see anyone getting so wrapped up in a game, where they'll loose a week of their life, of well... i guess i have never been there so i can't understand it...

  • dexl

    Scared to play? such misleading title, I give it a booooo....
    Though this is a good general game overview.

    must... play... borderlands... so... poor...

    What about runescape? XD

  • LXIndustries

    Posted Nov 11, 2009 6:45 pm PT

    I agree with most of that list. I already plan to take off a week when Mass Effect 2 comes out, I played that game for so long when I first got it, that I was nearly unable to leave the house.
    Same as Fallout, I play it non stop, then realise how I added too many mods and how buggy the game is, only to put it down, and a few months later, start the cycle all over again...
