Video games of today

Ok so the other day my friends asked me what the last video game was I really enjoyed. Like was crazy in love with.

I got to thinking, and really, I couldn't come up with anything from the next gen era at all. I've played all the hot titles, I've played all the hidden gems.

Really nothing has impressed me for a long time. Everything I wanted to play has disappointed me somehow.

It's... Well it's sad actually.

Anyone else feel this way?

Also I think the Wii as a system is a big flaming pile of dog s***

They sold out the gamers who supported them long enough to make the Wii while we were playing their gamecube goodness no one else wanted. I hate nintendo so much right now, and I'm glad I didn't actually spend my hard earned 250 on the system and someone gifted it to me.

So my answer to the last game I truly enjoyed?

I'm actually still thinking, but I might honestly have to say Okami for the PS2, which I don't consider that new considering that it took it almost 3 years to come over here from Japan. But that probably isn't the answer.

I actually cant get enough Call of Duty 4.

Best shooter ever....

Multiplayer is bloody brilliant.

This gen..

Mario Galaxy is one of my favorite games of all time.
I have sadly put in more hours of Burnout Paradise than I would like to admit.
And the Valve duo of TF2/L4D with GTers is always a welcomed treat.

I thought SSBB and Zelda:TP were pretty epic. Oh and World of Goo.

Half-Life 2.
TF2.
L4D.
Fallout 3.
And Halo Wars is surprisingly more fun than I thought it would be. It has potential to last for a while.
Id have to say that most of the games I have bought did not disappoint me. Theres a few I regret buying but I can always use those as frisbees.

I still maintain that Mass Effect might be the best all around game ever made.

Super Mario Galaxy
Half Life 2 and it episodes, Portal and TF2, so Orange Box

Uncharted (though not as much as the other ones, but it was a great game)
The Banjo Kazooie demo (yes, the demo, I didn't buy the full game yet, but I'm sure it would've been on the list)
Edit: Whoops, I forgot about BioShock. Whoa, a game I call best game ever, and I forget it..
And I'm currently playing Psychonauts, and loving every minute of it. But it's last gen, so I guess it doesn't count

But nothing - nothing - will ever give me the same feelings I had when I first played Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie and Perfect Dark. Those are my ultimate games ever. Oh, and BioShock..

SILENCE MORTALS!

No one has mentioned the greatest game ever made.

Earth Defense Force 2017

Portal and TF2 had me pretty pumped. Is it love though? I don't know...

The last game I really fell in love with was on the N64...I believe it was called Ocarina of Time. Wind Waker came close. Twilight Princess just did not captivate me, although I will play through it again one day.

Wasn't HL2 last gen?
