Games of 08 : The Neglected

Nope, not "The Ugly". These are the big games I never got around to last year. They're top of the list for the next couple of months. Hopefully the industry can cooperate by not releasing a ton of games worth playing for a while. I've presented them in roughly the order I plan to attack them.

Prince of Persia - I've watched it being played, and I've run through some bits for myself, but it deserves to be played as a complete experience. I'm a little wary since it seems that someone on the PoP team hasn't learned that quick-time events still suck as much as they did when they were first spawned from the depths of hell. We shall see.

Tomb Raider Underworld - It's really odd that this is still sitting on my shelf mostly unplayed. I'm such a fanboy for this series, but it came at an odd time with other game releases. It's also not a "pick up and play for 30 minutes" game... more of a "let it consume your entire weekend" game. Once I have a good clear weekend, it shall be consumed.

Metal Gear Solid 4 - I played some of 2 & 3. Never understood what the big deal was, but it came with my PS3 so I might as well give it a play or two.

Dead Space - I've played this for about 30 minutes and found the gameplay really interesting. It's also damned creepy, so I'll get back to it eventually.

Gears of War 2 - This one was easy to put off, because I know exactly what to expect... more of the same. That's not necessarily bad, but that doesn't make it a release day play for me.
