I talked a bit about Bayonetta two weeks ago on the podcast I co-host. The game is very divisive, which could make for some great discussion between us all.
Yeah, it’s kind of a “you’re either down from the first 10 minutes, or you’re out” proposition. Because that rabbit hole only gets deeper (read: absolutely bugshit insane).

I’ve only played a small percentage of the game and I honestly say I’m down. I love that game.
If everyone has at least a basic pc setup, may I suggest for a fun, old(ish) school RTS we can all have an opinion on and play against each other…

Gotta be available on Steam for cheap. Lemme check. Ten bucks. Worth it, I’d say.
Worth every penny of ten bucks and then some, damn fun RTS that captures the perfect tone for its subject matter - and if I can play it on my shitty old laptop almost everyone should be able to.
I think i may be one of the few that actually finished bayonneta (and loved every single second of it), so im down for giving it more love.
Also, some fighting games should make it here, specially if they have spectator modes.
ASomeone recently mentioned to me that they never played Half Life 2. I was floored, but after I got over it I thought I would mention it here.
How about Half Life 2? if I’m not mistaken Orange Box did come out for all the systems and the game does present itself in chapters so we could set dates to complete certain chapters by.

I’m up for THAT…
…and if those assholes on the ‘Black Mesa: Source’ team ever get their collective thumbs out of their collective arses and FINISH the damn thing, I’d be up for THAT as well!!
Half Life 2 is a fantastic idea, though, the last time I played it, I got severe motion sickness, something I’ve never gotten in an FPS before.
I’m definitely down for another go at Half-Life 2. It’s weird how I’ll be playing other games this gen and it feels like I’d rather be playing HL2 or Fallout 3 instead. It happens a lot. At least now I have Skyrim.
Bayonetta is a great suggestion as well, been meaning to play it.
Personally, I have a bunch of games I’ve picked up used(and inexpensively) from Gamestop and either haven’t gotten around to playing, or haven’t gotten far in. X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Bulletstorm, Prince of Persia(the Cel-shaded one), Bioshock 2, etc.
What if some of us have never played Half Life 1?
HL1 is cool if you want the backstory, but honestly you could basically read a Wikipedia article on it and dive into HL2 and its subsequent two episodes and still be equally blown away.
On that note: Does The Orange Box for PS3 suck as bad as people say it does? That was my favorite thing ever on the 360.

Bioshock 2’s definitely going on the list. It’s like the 2010 to Bioshock’s 2001. That’s complimentary, i might add.

My first ever playthrough, i had only ever gotten halfway through HL1. Limped my way through the rest on PC, and didn’t feel like I gained anything from it, really.

Good news! It sucks marginally less.
Can I just say I have no interest in Half-Life or anything related to it? I know, as a writer, I should go nuts for it, but on the podcast I do every other week, we trashed it and I have no regrets.
It’s worth playing EVENTUALLY just for shits and giggles, but really, anything relevant to what that series becomes happens in the first 20 minutes and the last 20 minutes.
I’m ALWAYS down for more Half-Life 2. Still the unchallenged pinnacle of FPS games. And I will debate anyone claiming otherwise to death.
