Well it took me long enough to actually continue this list but a few things happened over the last .. er .. 3 days? I can't remember but here I am to quench your list bearing thirst by giving you my top 3 games!
3. N+
Yes, I know it's an
arcade game. Yes, I kno-, wait let m- ALRIGHT ALRIGHT, I'LL EXPLAIN WHY.
First of all, I've always wanted to love a 2d
adventure game with enough testosterone to cover the sun so whilst I was in my
Halo 3 era, I came accross something where you could be a ninja and eat gold.
Being the insufferable little rouge that I am, I instantly went out, got some points and bought this little gem.
I came.
Seriously, it's addictive. It's frustrating. It's everything it says it is. You can't do this game in one shot, it's huge and it takes a level of skill only known by most NASA technicians for some levels. Trust me on this, it's delicious. It's a bit old right now and there's a free online version just called "N" but N+ is really worth your money, I'll put my balls on the line.
Unless you've got some form of anger management problems, this game runs the risk of you putting you TV through but it is very fun to play with friends, I've had some good times on this game and it even appealed to one of my non-gaming ex-girlfriends so if it appeals to a girl then it must be worth it, right?
Just buy it. 'Nuff said.
2. The Last Remnant
I REALLY regret letting go of this game. It actually hurts. In fact, I'm going to scour the online shopping places and buy the copy.
If it's cheap enough as I'm literally dirt poor right now as I <3 online shopping.
And it's not cheap anyway. Balls. I'll have to wait until I come across some more expendable income i.e. everything I make. Probably buy about 15 other JRPGS whilst I'm at it as I am a whore for that genre.
Back on topic, as stated before on the Dynasty Warriors listing, I really do like games where you can command your troops but also be in the battle as well, not from a top down view and this fits well. You start off as one guy and as you progress, you build up a bigger army and then command them, move them and tell them what to do. Again, I'm heavily baised when it comes to this genre and this style of gameplay but if you're a sucker for these, like I am, I have to say that this is the best one that I've played out of every JRPG game. Well, every JRPG Xbox 360 game, FF8 still holds number 1 in my book.
1. Halo Reach
Ohh, I cannot wait for the bombardment of COD fanboys who though MW3 was number 1. Oh, not on your nelly.
The
Halo franchise is one of my favourite franchises. I've played others like Call of Duty, Medal of Honour,
Gears of War but out of all of them, I find Halo the most challenging. You have a shield that needs to be worn down. In COD, the quickest shot counts. In Medal of Honour, same applies. Gears of War, it's about wearing your opponent down or getting close enough to initiate an instant take down.
With Halo, every shot counts. They don't go down in one hit. You need 4 shots from a DMR, fires a single bullet, to the head to take them out. 4 precise shots. You need to know your weapon. The
Assault Rifle is a spraying gun and it takes a full clip to take a person out. So you need to make sure that your reticule, which for the AR is quite big, stays on your target who's strafing and knocking your aim off shooting back at you.
The games just challenging. You need to make every shot count, no matter the weapon. A lot of luck is involved when it comes to Halo but every weapon needs to be mastered to be effective with it.
Another thing that makes Halo shine is the ability to make your own maps, download user created maps and make up your own gametype from scratch. The freedom you get is quite good for a
shooting game. You can customise your character with armour and s*** but that's just for the side bits. Rank progression is now based on how much you play and how well you play.
There's loads more stuff I could say about this game but I wont to save your eyes from me rambling on as to why I think Halo gives you the most challenge. I still like playing other shooters but this is my favourite game of all time and the only thing that'll knock it off my list is
Halo 4.
Well, that's my list. Thanks for reading it, chaps, I do like the attention, saves me having to camwhore all over my Facebook page asking people if I'm cute then saying "DON'T BE SILLY, NO AM NOT"
Ciao, Squeers.
