A game that dares to ask the most disturbing question of all; what is it like to live in the mind of a frenchman?

I've sang Black Sheep by Metric more than the actual band has played it live, probably.
Also probably why I haven't needed vocal training since starting estrogen. Thanks, Metric!

I've included links to get MGO2 running again on PC and PS3
MGO2 will forever be an unsung hero of the stealth shooter world. Truly one of the greatest of all time, there has not been anything quite like it ever since, including MGSVs comparably awkward (at best) sequel.
There are now fan servers you can play on the PC and PS3 today, but of course the skill curve is high. The limited player-base alone makes it a shadow of itself, but that shadow still stands tall, and I recommend giving it a go for anyone who didn't get to play this in 2008-12.
Here's a tutorial with some download links to walk you through the process of getting MGO2 up and running on PC, Enjoy!

And I've been a lesbian ever since.

The police station has intestines. The building.
This game depicts the nightmare of capitalism as just that. The police are a cult, and the country is run by a shadow president, the corporate arch demoness. You are her Judge Dredd. Everything looks absolutely disgusting.

Mundfish dares to ask the question we were all too afraid to ask; what if Bioshock was bad?
2005
If you have the patience to get comfortable with the control scheme, it becomes a unique though frustrating-at-times game. The camera angle is the games true weak point, and it makes those controls even more awkward at times. Still, with patience, its a good time. Also Nina is hot.

Love this one. All the same controls and stuff as the SVR games. Only downside is no character creation, but Benikage is probably the character i would have made anyways. The over the top finishers and entrances and stuff are so much fun, too.

It's a real shame GFWL busted this one (EDIT: I've included links to purchase and get LP2 running again, albeit only in singleplayer) . This was the strongest entry in the series, and that is primarily due to its multiplayer. I would compare it to Metal Gear Online in terms of being almost forgotten but undoubtedly one of the greatest.
A faster-paced third person shooter, players would traverse the map both on foot and with grappling hooks, and jetpacks, using mechs placed throughout to their advantage. I would describe the level design as reminiscent of Halo 2 or 3 in terms of the emphasis on vertical layering and symmetry.
It was as if MGO or SOCOM got a Titanfall mod, albeit with smaller 'Aliens'-esque mechs, and a bunch of Halo maps.
EDIT: Disclaimer, i still have no idea how to get multiplayer to work again. There are two fixes here, neither will do that for you.
So, due to Games for Windows LIVE, Capcom has removed LP2 off the steam marketplace, so the first thing youll need to do is purchase a key from secondhand distributors. The more reputable ones include G2A and Fanatical. Though last i checked there weren't any on Fanatical. I got mine through Green Man Gaming, which also had the lowest pricing. All keys should be Global.
This fix removes GFWL entirely, though this makes the game also only available in singleplayer. The next paragraph will describe how to download GFWL, if you'd prefer to try it. If you don't want to try that, this link is all you need.

Microsoft has no links for GFWL anymore as it is a failed project. Here's a link for a download that i have confirmed is clean and has everything you will need:
https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1012-microsoft-games-for-windows-live/
Run all the EXEs in the main file after unzipping this, if you try to run GFWL or the Client exe after install it should give you a connection error. LP2 should be able to launch anyways. Unfortunately this connection error is where it stops because its trying to connect to a microsoft server that does not exist anymore. It will prompt you to sign in in-game, X out of that screen as you won't be able to.

It's MDK, all fuckin' day.
This is probably Rockstar's best game.

A genre-defining work. Who is and is not a replicant is never certain, you can never assume anything from one play to the next. It keeps you immersed and does a great job at inducing the paranoia of being tasked with finding non-humans in an already inhuman world.

Remember when you were playing Shadow of the Colossus, and thought "You know what this needs? A ton of survival and crafting shit."
Me neither.
Me neither.
2016
Titanfall 2 will keep a solid place, in my mind, as a game that set a new standard for FPS multiplayer. Since 2016, it has made the question "But, does it have giant robots?" a standard when trying similar titles.

I honestly hate fighting games but, Bushido Blade is easily the most compelling case for their being enjoyable that I have ever seen.
The combat being so simple and deadly allowed for me to get into it, I didn't feel like I needed to know every combo to win, I just needed to be patient and pick my time. Knowing the combos helps, but most of them can just as easily get you killed. Reading when an opponent is staggered versus blocking or dodging is vital for a combo to go well for you. Knowing your weapons reach and speed is of equal importance in all areas of play.
The balance of zen and violence that we see in classic samurai film fights such as Harakiri is present. The game is every bit as relaxing as it is nerve racking. It's exactly what a game about samurai sword-fighting needs to be.
