I bought NHL 12 used recently (F you EA for the online pass thing) but I enjoy the game tremendously playing against the CPU. Playing online is frustrating for beginners anyway.
Call of Duty: Black Ops is the best game ever made(Nazi Zombies and the online mode are ridiculously addictive) The Madden series and NBA 2k series always keep me coming back because the gameplay is awesome. I wish Madden would innovate a little bit. I really wish they would bring back the old training camp modes and throw in some 2k style halftime shows and weekly highlights. I wish NBA 2k bring in a better online mode(more like maddens) Also, I love the Mass Effect series. I've never liked a game like it before(not even Elder Scrolls), but there's something about the detail of the galaxy that amazed me. It's as if the creator of the game actually got kidnapped by some aliens and saw all of it first hand. Still haven't gotten the chance to play the 3rd one, but as soon as I graduate this May and get a few bucks, I'm going to get it.
Black Ops may have been the most disappointing FPS to ever come out. It is close with Battlefield Vietnam. As soon as they were released, the creators forgot about them and moved on to the sequel, or an update disguised as a sequel.
Kudos on the Darksiders collection, Ryudo. Love'em. Blue Dragon was an excellent rpg. I was a teen when I played it, but in the later part of the game it got brutally difficult. Never did beat it.
Capcom didn't pass the logo around the staff I can see. It looks like a Giraffe getting a blowjob from a woman
