Sleeping Dogs was fantastic. Great atmosphere (Hong Kong in the rain with the game's fantastic radio is fantastic), some genuinely decent characters with great voice acting (marred by the disappointing ending), and fun as hell brawling.
It's probably my favourite GTA Clone if you can't count a) The Rockstar made ones, RDR and Bully and b) Saint's Row 2.
Rumour has it Sleeping Dogs is apparently getting a sequel, though. Makes a nice change for these sort of under appreciated games.

Square Enix? What's a movie company doing trying to develop games? Oh, wait...

Well, it makes sense. I liked Wei Shen, but what are they gonna do, make him go undercover again?

I really enjoyed Azurik: Rise of Perathia (one of the Xbox Original release titles), but pretty much the rest of the universe thinks it was terrible.

So am I the only one who actually kind of liked Beyond: Two Souls? I mean, I'll admit it has plenty of flaws, but I liked the story well enough to stick with it, and mechanically it actually feels the most "video gamey" of anything I've played as pertains to Quantic Dream.

I don't know. As much as it went completely off the rails by the end (or Quantic Dreamed itself if I can coin a new idiom) I thought Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe's performances were surprisingly non-phoned in for being relatively famous actors in a video game.

Eh, personally the ending didn't really go that off the rails. My bigger issue is the weird choice of giving it a non-linear narrative: it seems like Cage's first attempt at one of those, and man does it show considering that, at least for me, it seems to lead to all the major problems in that game.
But yeah, Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe were awesome.

Well, this game is unknown to Western shores, but in Japan it only sold 100 copies. Yet, it really convinced me to get a Wii U just to play this game.
What's the game? It's Cat Game.

Squee... Video is weird... game looks wonky... but the cat is cute... I do need a flood of adorable kitten videos and pictures to cheer me up after the week I've been having, so this started it...

It gets better when the cat CEO starts pulling anime punches on her human employees.

Shadow of Rome.
The critics trashed it for the stealth sections, but the arena system was delightfully brutal, grisly, and fun as all hell.

It's certainly better than Ryse for sure.

Wasn't that the one where you could make enemies piss themselves?
