Played in one night on a christmas eve many years ago, liked the idea of the darkness mechanic but didn't love engaging with it, has an impeachable aesthetic.

Can be a frustrating play at times but nails it's world so well, I didn't mind the flashlight mechanic but it's definitely finicky, slept on soundtrack.

Love the feel of moving Meat Boy through the air, is so hard that I am upset I can't get to the cooler secret levels, deserves it's spot as one of the genres most influential games.

Incredible track list, control of the mix is truly in your hands, I get the mashups stuck in my head just thinking about them.

I love the detail Mafia puts into a world that you just follow a story in, really nails it's plot and without making any character feel out of place, driving is insufferable at first but when you get the hang of it you can live with it.

Best character action game of all time hands down, everything feels so perfect in this game it's like controlling a graceful panther, actually has some truly funny shit in it.

Most of the cool base building you like in MGSV comes from this game, when played on PS3 it controls like a great Metal Gear game, does an amazing job filling in some of the gaps in the Metal Gear timeline.

Physics get wayyyyy too out of control in this one, building your own brand is not that fun when the only art you can do on your deck is super basic logo shit, best competitions in the whole series.

Simply the best Kingdom Hearts game, characters actually interact and change each other throughout the game instead of in a few impactful scenes, combat was finely tuned to a perfect symphony.

The depths you need to find within yourself to get the final ending will change you, Yoshi was an ok addition, has some of the best Mario levels ever.

The perfect Assassin's Creed game, ability to call in brotherhood members was so badass, absolutely wild jaw dropping ending.

Maybe the best cast of all time, best played with no reloading, the peak of producer style storytelling in games.

2009

Found it extremely frustrating the first time I tried to play it, have never felt the need to go back, there are plenty other games like this that I would rather go back and finish.

Never played too much of it but it was fun for that small amount of time, was such a breath of fresh air at the time in that space, art style did not hold up.

Outside of MGS:Peacewalker this is my favorite PSP game of all time, felt really good in your hands, has galactic conquest which is the Battlefront mode people should actually be begging to make a comeback.
