@Col_McCafferty It's nice if games feature interesting characters and story lines (even though that's very, very rare), which the Witcher certainly does, but I'm the opposite to you, as I play games for the gameplay aspect. It's what sets video games apart from other media in my opinion. If I want interesting characters or narratives I'd rather read a book. Ah well, each to their own of course!

Excellent environment for developing a new Ratchet and Clank game in I'd say.

@leucocyte Yes, I've got the same gameplay issues with the Witcher, so I'll be skipping Cyberpunk as well probably.

Completely forgot about the Xenoblade Chronicles remaster! I don't play a lot of jrpgs but am definitely looking forward to playing this one again.

It's DOOM Eternal for me! Also looking forward to Axiom Verge 2.

@KALofKRYPTON I don't want to replace it either It's a plasma tv and for some reason I prefer how games look on it insteada of how they look on some of my mates' more modern tellys.

@KALofKRYPTON 2008 must have been a terrific year for tvs as I still my LG from that year!

@kyleforrester87 +1 for mentioning Dead Space!

Yes yes, I'm one of the few who've never played them. Skipped the ps3 at the time and really disliked The Last of Us so never gave Drake a chance. I'm about halfway through the first one now and I actually quite like it!

Still need to complete my second run for RE2 first!

@Mergatro1d Excellent, in that case I'll be playing that this year!

I might have picked it up if it was just Vanquish as Bayonetta doesn't really float my boat.

These Capitalised Titles Keep Confusing Me.

Is that just me?

My source is telling me it will actually play SNES cartridges too!

I'm not getting my hopes up. Doesn't help that he posted some artwork that seems to be inspired by Chernobyl.

@playstation1995 Ah, Vice City stories, happy days! I found it incredible to be playing a spinoff from my (still) favourite GTA on a mobile console. You can't beat the eighties!

@Powerpellet Thanks, I'll have a look!

@playstation1995 I've actually hooked my ps2 up again to my telly in order to play them both this year

@playstation1995 Oh man, I'd love a new Ghost n Goblins! How about a new Maximo game to boot?

A new Ratchet and Clank? Tell me more! Bit odd probably, but that's the only title there that would make me really excited.

My favourite top 5 so far! Will be checking out Blazing Chrome and Nina Saviours (but first back to the Castlevania Collection!)

Happy new year folks! First resolution: clearing out my backlog before ps5 arrives without buying too many games in the meantime.

Excellent, that means Dirt Rally 2.0 will be number 1!

@Jaz007 I'm aware of that, it's just that the character design is quite similar.

@HellOfaHunter I'm sure the gameplay is fine, I just can't cope with the aesthetics of it.

I had an okay time playing Final Fantasy 15, but only because I imagined being on a boyband tour. Although I like beat em ups in general, I'm not up for going on a second leg with a different boyband.

Got the Castlevania collection last week, finished Castlevania 1 and The Adventure, now having a crack at Simon's Quest. Also some Demon's Crest and Into the Breach.

Nice to see Obra Dinn on there. Shenmue should be higher, obviously.

Shenmue 3
Dirt Rally 2
Bloodstained

They're doing terrible in the poll, which of course reflects my exquisite taste in games.

@oldschool1987 Happy Christmas!

Playstation wise, I'd go for the Shadow of the Colossus remake, followed by Alien Isolation, Dark Souls, Hollow Knight and Darkest Dungeon.

Happy Christmas folks!

That's nice to know actually, as I'm not convinced yet about the looks and gameplay.

@JohnGrey Good to see some like-minded people. World-building and atmosphere were great, gameplay not so much.

@oldschool1987 That's where I live on!

Same number 1 for me this year. Still can't properly comprehend it actually exists.

That makes it 3 out of 6 from the list that I've never played!

1. Resident Evil (ngc)
2. Resident Evil 2 (ps1)
3. Resident Evil Code Veronica (dc)

@Undeadlogan First time I've been called that

Really enjoyed the singleplayer campaign but never played the online part. I do hope part six will play in a different country though (here's looking at you Sleeping Dogs).

@Nickolaidas Yes, let's all just downvote people with different opinions to yours.

I'm probably the only one but to me these characters looks like cosplay gone horribly wrong!

@ApostateMage Nah mate, a game with controls that clunky can't possibly be the game of the decade, even though the atmosphere and script were wonderful.

Dark Souls rightly belongs in this list. The game itself is terrific and the influence on other games cannot be overstated.

Happy Christmas people! Hope the lists won't be too similar to mine as it is of course the season for heated discussions

God of War 4. It's been a while since I enjoyed myself with a AAA Western game, but this has been an enjoyable, if somewhat run by the numbers, hiking trip.

@johncalmc If only they could have locked the door!

Great, I can switch between the awards and election coverage in the dead of night here in the UK!

No, it's fine as it is. I'd rather have a remake of 2 and 3 in the vein of the gamecube remake of 1 actually. That's not going to happen of course, so my choice for the next one would be Code Veronica.

Although I really enjoyed the RE2 remake, I feel the characters look like cosplay gone really bad, even more so with this new trailer for RE3.

That trailer of a trailer at the end summed it all up in my opinion. First and last Sony Direct I've seen probably.
