What I Like

So this year I've beat quite a few games already, some taking a bit longer than others. It's been through these games that I realized what I really quite like and that's games that take no longer than 10 hours to play through, are generally single player, and have very strong narrative. Even if the controls are a little broken, well it doesn't matter as I will trudge through just so I can experience a great story. Case in point, Alpha Protocol, and Enslaved, 2 games that are pretty broken but I just dug the characters and story so much that I forgave bugs and random deaths caused by no fault of my own, just a glitchy engine. As well though I really can't get into a game that will clock in at longer than a dozen or so hours, unless it has something really great going for it (like a certain Commander Shepherd) and thus I am now going to plow through Prince of Persia, Bioshock 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction, and wait in anticipation for Mass Effect 3.
