Fallout 3!
How many times can an exploding skull make me cackle like a vicious 11-year-old? I don't know. I lost count.
LittleBigPlanet!
Please, please, please let Beta participants skip tutorial sessions next time, MM. My love of Stephen Fry cannot conquer the hours of tutorials between me and legitimate level-buildin'. That being said, it appeals to the side of me that likes things that are adorable—a side of me that doesn't get out much these days. Gears 2 ain't exactly cute.
Valkyria Chronicles!
Only just got this one—today, actually—and I'm still waiting for it to ramp up. The battle's intriguing, save for one element in which the logic of the world seems recursively cruel: Enemies won't shoot at you 'til you're in motion. Your turn starts and you select your unit, and God help you if a load of jerks have taken up residence in a semi-circle of death around you. "He's on the move! Should we shoot him now? Okay!"
Left 4 Dead!
Played the game proper at Valve last Thursday with some old homies, got my grubby hands on the demo today. Even under less-than-desirable circumstances (meager desktop computing power, obnoxious roommates), it still managed to impress. But fuck the Witch. Seriously. That shit will haunt me for weeks.
