1. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey Collector's Edition
I mainly bought this cause of The Longest Journey. I was a huge fan of TLJ but found myself immensely disappointed by Dreamfall. Long story short, I ended up selling the game itself and kept the goodies. Not sure where they are atm but probably somewhere.
2. Into the Dark
It tries to sell itself as a "so bad it's good" game but it's just bad. Janky programming and douchy developers who tries to excuse the lack of polish as an intentional style. Stay away.
3. Aliens: Colonial Marines Collector's Edition
Needs no explanation. While I didn't hate the game entirely, in fact I enjoyed a lot of it, it was still disappointing compared to what I was expecting. That being said the goodies that came with it such as the Powerloader statue, the patches and other nice stuff was really cool. Still not worth what I paid for it though.
4. Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex - First Assault Online
An online FPS set in the Ghost in the Shell universe shouldn't be that hard to sell and it wasn't. But holy shit, this game is janky as f***. And the amount of hackers is insane too. Not recommended.
5. Defiance
It later went free to play I think, but this MMO shooter is probably one of the most disappointing experiences I've had. Tied in with a mediocre TV show the game feels like a bland ripoff of Borderlands with less likeable characters. And some weird censorship going on, using "shtaco" instead of shit etc. Huge amount of glitches and just all around not very fun. Definitely regret paying for it.
Those are probably the only games I regret paying money for.

Silent Hill has always struck me as an impressive setting. Perhaps not in its grandiosity, but more in how it revels in the normal/ordinary and twists our preconceptions of a "normal" seaside town into this nightmarish otherworldly HP Lovecraft-esque vision. It's incredible, really. Every time I see fog, I think of Silent Hill now. That's the sign of an iconic game.

Here's a few more contestants who could arguably make the cut for me: Ben Folds Five, Weezer, Meat Loaf, Coldplay, Counting Crows, Beck, Air, The Strokes, The Virgins, Daft Punk, Aimee Mann, and Blur. (Sorry for the cavalcade of bands!!!!)

So far I have only played multiplayer and a little Blackout since getting the game and I have to say that Hardcore Team Death Match and Hardcore Kill Confirmed are my two favourite modes on multiplayer. I am yet to try zombies but I am being told that there are mixed reviews regarding the Zombies side of Call Of Duty this year with some loving the mode and others not liking as much as previous games and they feel they tried to do too much to it. I will be trying zombies myself at some point but as it stands right now, hardcore team death match and hardcore kill confirmed are my go to.

That’s awesome! Sounds like you’ve traveled a lot, dude. I would absolutely LOVE to visit Japan one day. It’s on my bucket list.

Tough question. My contenders would be Radiohead, The Libertines, The Beatles, Super Furry Animals, Belle & Sebastian and Neon Neon. 

Agree with Alyxx and Katri above. Well directed cut-scenes and a focus on a strong narrative give games a cinematic quality. I often think third person perspective games are a little more filmic than first person, but both can be cinematic. Uncharted, The Last Of Us, the recent Tomb Raider titles and David Cage games are good examples of cinematic video game experiences.

I've been to The Philippines, South Korea, Saipan and spent a few days in Japan.

Thanks Dylan! Let's see what this game is all about now 😮

Yay! Thank you for this. I have no interest in using this myself, but I will definitely blog about it. lol My readers love a good freebie, especially games, so this is right up their alley. Thanks again!

Oh, and I also liked Primal Rage a lot. 
I mean dinosaurs duking it out with each other sells itself.

Street Fighter 2 all the way. However, I've also got a soft spot for Tekken 3 and Mortal Kombat. 

Can’t get better than free, right? https://www.humblebundle.com/store/sins-of-a-solar-empire-rebellion

Awesome! Thanks for sharing all those deals btw. I may not be in America but some are indeed interesting 😛

Nuketown is an all time classic I'm sure everyone was excited and pumped for it to come out it's a good think they switch up the designs also a new nuketown design every release looks promising. 

I hope I can find a cool GPU deal and finally complete my upgrade. Fingers crossed 😄

I'll trust you and buy it. If it's 50% as good as FTL we'll have a great time together hahahaha

NOOOO! What a nightmare! Perhaps a Black Friday Black Ops 4 console deal may tempt you to join the dark side 😛  lol

One of my favourite games ever. My go-to was always Ryu or Ken. I liked all of them but those two were my tops because of the shoryuken and hadoken and what not. ❤️

And my PC can't even run it 😢 I'll have to go build a fort in my sister's room and play again hahahaha

Luckily, I haven't been affected by Carpel Tunnel Syndrome as of yet. Really hope I don't ever get it. Sounds like a nightmare.

I would have never thought about it but now, damn, I want it hahahaha

With upgraded textures this one would have been amazing. Can't think of any fair moves for that boss though 😄 it would have been totally unfair for us to fight it hahaha

3 great games for one great price: https://www.simplygames.com/p/uncharted-the-nathan-drake-collection-hits-range-ps4

This is an awesome deal. Just wish it had turn-based combat like the first one. 😛 https://www.base.com/buy/product/ni-no-kuni-ii-revenant-kingdom-ps4/dgc-nnk2ps4.htm?1=1&awc=2694_1542046514_b2ff29eba0aa5096d389de436466c394
