A Plea

So after I posted my I Miss Gaming post yesterday, I was struck by the realization that it’s awfully hard for one person to know about all of the awesome games that are out there to play.

The games that maybe didn’t make the most money or maybe didn’t get the most press but still rock and are games that have a hardcore following.

See? THOSE are the games that I want to play.

I want to play the games that people play because they LOVE them and not because they think that they should be playing them and then they find themselves hating the game but they can’t quit playing it because what would people think of them?

Wait. Am I the only one who has done that?

Assassin’s Creed was like that for me.

I was SO FUCKING EXCITED by the things that were offered by that game. The graphics were awesome. The story was pretty solid. The gameplay was good…until you had assassinated like the second person and you realized that every single assassination was going to be just like the first assassination…and the second…and the third. After a while, I felt like I had to finish the game, even though I was so amazingly bored by the whole deal that I started having fantasies about folding laundry.

If I am having fantasies about folding laundry while I’m playing your game then you know that you have officially lost my interest.

So.

I come to you with a plea, of sorts.

What games are you playing? And not just what games are you playing, but what games do you LOVE? Gross, sloppy, tongue kissing in love with.

A couple of restrictions, since nothing with me can ever be easy:

1. Has to be a PC game
2. Has to be a PS3 game [though I have a 20GB PS3 so PS2 games are an option, as well]

I know that there are probably some dynamite games out there for 360 and the Wii but I have no interest in shelling out the dough to purchase those systems. Also, I’m fiercely loyal to Steve, my Ps3, and know that it would hurt his feelings if I cheated on him.

Let me have it, y’all. I can’t say that I’m gonna run right out and grab up everything that you suggest but I’ll definitely give them all a good, hard look.

Not like I have any ideas of my own right now.
