You should give the ones you already have to a friend!

I'm a mix of Enabler and Retro, but I think this list is missing a "Hipster" category. While I'd never thought of myself as a "videogame hipster," I've been called that on two occasions in the last week. Frig.

Unrelated, but your avatar is awesome.

to be fair, most Sonic music isn't really suited for a full orchestra. More like a jazz combo.

False. The best new album of video game music is Sonic Generations

I can beat those games in ten seconds flat :P

I agree with you SO HARD, especially your first paragraph. I've noticed a lot of commenters saying "I disagree because I really enjoy unlocking stuff," which I sort of think proves your point. The enjoyment of unlocking stuff is a shallow pleasure that lets the developers get away with not making the game enjoying to…

Spoiler alert: the guy wanting to retire and be a father ends up having to shoot people.

DAT HAIR

split screen dammit

Dammit, Kotaku. You just reminded me that due to a mix-up with my credit card my release-day shipping of 1Q84 didn't pan out and I STILL DON'T HAVE IT >:(

Yeah, but I heard 1Q84 Generations is a return to form. Classic, chubby Murakami teams up with Modern, taller, slightly-darker blue Murakami, and the chapters alternate third and first person! I really liked the preview chapters... let's just hope we're not disappointed again.

I agree. One thing I've always liked about her character is that she wasn't sexualized, and I'd rather the figurines not ruin that.

I'd put my money on D.C., and given the U.S. currency font I can't imagine it'd take place in another country. I was hoping it'd be in Moscow, though :(

The story is pretty crappy, but the missions are probably the best I've ever played in an RTS. There are very few straight-up RTS "destroy the bad guys" missions: every level has some unique gimmick or conceit, and most of them are LOTS of fun. Plus, there are all sorts of challenge modes, and the hardest skill level…

wait, there's a series on the escapist featuring lisa foiles waving her breasts in my face? why was in not informed of this?

GLaDOS voice for Siri would also be swell.

i can tell from some of the pixels

I agree so hard. I usually say Halo 2 is my least favorite in the series... but then I remember Lockout. It's probably one of the best levels in videogame history.
