Add your own, take out what you don't care about, whatever. Standard "Gains' overly detailed survey thread" rules apply.

Note: It's really really hard to think of what the true worst games I've played this year are. I have played some really bad ones that most people wouldn't even put on a list.

WORST GAMEPLAY - Kane and Lynch: Dead Men

It's that bad, huh?

So, would it even be worth a $7 rental to play through on split screen
co-op?

I'm always looking for games with offline co-op for 360, but I guess this one is a skipper?

The Witcher knocks everything else off the RPG/story spot.

Mortious had this to say about dark elf butts:
Mass Effect was pretty shallow as an RPG, with a story we've all heard before. Didn't stop it being fun, but hardly game of the year.

Yes, but gains doesn't play real rpgs that don't involve FF7 characters or catchable monsters.

I wholeheartedly agree with this part.

I er.. aquired.. it and it was pretty laffo. It's simply riding on the coattails of Oblivion, while having none of what makes Oblivion good. All the "forsooth!" talk made me laugh too.

wait what

i just got done playing mass effect and the only reason i didn't play the witcher was because my computer can't run it

tell me what these "real rpgs" are, honestly. if you're saying oblivion, i just haven't got around to it (computer ran it like shit) and there hasn't been anything good outside of oblivion for years

Delphi Aegis was naked while typing this:
A lot of the settings in the witcher are turned up so high as to be ridiculous. The only drawback of the game was the longass load times.

1 gig of RAM

Not with the 1gig of ram, just with the vista

(I run the witcher on XP with 1gig)

I like Vista, I just need a couple more bucks to throw some RAM into my box to make it fine.
