If I had to make a list of video games, and was told that any games that weren't on the list would cease to exist....this would be that list.

        This game is.....hard.In more ways that one, this game is just exhausting, and I really can't describe my experience with it as "fun," but I also couldn't give it up.It's too expensive, there's too mu…

            Yet another open-world game I couldn't consign to the void. Stunning, I know.There's something about the magic and gear and monsters that make this truly unlike anything else I've played.To turn aroun…

              The pinnacle of the series, as far as I'm concerned.Revelations was good in its own way, and Syndicate was surprisingly good (though I couldn't enjoy it because after 3 and Unity, I didn't trust them …

                The King of all MMOs.You can take the rest of them, but this one has to stay, and has earned its right to continue to exist time and time again.

                        Until or unless I love 5 better, I gotta keep this one.If I'd bought a physical copy, I'd be worried about wearing the damned thing out by now.
