A lot of people have been talking about it, and I'm interested to see what it's all about.<br /><br />That's a pretty good list of games you got there. Waiting on games like LittleBigPlanet was probably a good thing in retrospect, as now the community has sorted itself out a bit.<br /><br />@Noah<br /><br />Yeah, to be honest, who knows if the whole "expand my horizon" thing will work out. Rest assured though, Braid is high on my list. I've even been able to avoid spoilers all this time!<br /><br />Borderlands really surprised me as to how much buzz it generated. It wasn't really on my radar, but it seems to be making a big impression with folks who like a little Diablo with their FPS.<br /><br />@JT<br /><br />Nice call! Now, to start up the EXP hype machine. He'll have to cut us in once he's a rich, famous game designer right? I only want a small mansion... ;-)Scott Justerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775296635863850847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-30731262105422954922010-01-04T20:16:30.083-08:002010-01-04T20:16:30.083-08:00@ JT

To start with, the Steam holiday sale lasting a couple more days has it priced at pocket change. More importantly though, Braid is the <i>only</i> game that I played multiple times through last year. Given your self-admission of being in a rut of platformer games and your quest to look deeper into games that others just play for fun it is a tragedy that you haven't yet played Braid.<br /><br />Other games I'm hoping to play this year include Mass Effect (in anticipation of what looks like a fantastic sequel), Split/Second, Space Invaders Infinity Gene, and Heavy Rain (working on Indigo Prophesy at the moment). I haven't played any God of War games yet, but the PS3 collection is a tempting introduction to the series.<br /><br />Long term, I'm most looking forward to games that attempt to iterate on the gameplay of Borderlands. It was a very enjoyable game but without as much polish as I would have liked and it makes me excited for either a sequel or something else inspired by it.<br /><br />The gaming community has as much potential as ever this year and I'm excited to see how things unfold this year!Noahhttp://twitter.com/psoplayernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-11580982079580899772010-01-02T06:57:45.567-08:002010-01-02T06:57:45.567-08:00Resident Evil 5

Letting go of that self-imposed imperative liberated me somehow, and now I don't feel guilty spending more time with games that deserve closer scrutiny, knowing I'm doing it at the cost of playing other games. <br /><br />So, for what it's worth, I recommend not getting too bent out of shape about not playing Muramasa, for example. In the case of that particular game, you're not really missing much anyway. :-P<br /><br />Have a happy 2010, Scott.Michael Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437378247420941499noreply@blogger.com
