The best games you've played this year?

Well, see, at first I was, like, WHOA CONTRA HARD CORPS... uh, what's the last word of the title? Actually it's not even named Contra I think... you know, the PS3/X-Box store game... uh, SO I WAS LIKE BEST GAME EVER RETRO CONTRA GOODNESS and everything was totally fabulous, but then it got old way sooner than I thought it would, and I got really sad.

The Ninja Gaiden trilogy for the NES really did knock my socks off. I was a bit disappointed, difficulty-wise, they are actually quite easy to master once you manage to turn off your frustration, but yeah.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, AND MARIO PARTY 3! PLOT TWIST! Also Castlevania, beating Death and Dracula is so much fun for some reason.

InFamous 2 was alright aswell.

Your overall game of the year?

Wait that said it's obviously Ninja Gaiden III.

Obviously. Or maybe that, uh, Minigame Marathon for X-BOX360. I fucking rock.

OH! OH! OH! ANd there was that Fire Emblem hack (I made a thread about it... I think) WHICH WAS BRILLIANT!
