I think Borderlands had a great story and the ending of the game had a great build up… until they completely ruined the ending. That was my only problem.

Word. Oddly, Inafune is still the public face for Capcom. Even back when Shinji Mikami was rocking Resident Evil and shepherding both Suda and the Clover talent, the damn Megaman guy was probably still the star.

Capcom has been able to put out some of the best games on the market, but they don’t have that rockstar like Kojima or Cliffy B yet. I’d love to see Capcom’s rockstar come from the Resident Evil franchise.

I agree, RE5 is going to be a game people will hold future Resident Evils up to. You hear less and less about Resident Evil 2 nowadays and more about the past two.

Remember those cold, confusing days after RE5 came out? The game seemed distant, withdrawn, morosely serious in place of the series’ usual syrupy schlock. Then there was the lumbering boss design, the hints of racism. As the months passed with more play-throughs, Resident Evil 5 revealed itself as a misunderstood classic. It’s one of those games that could legitimately be called a “grower,” striking in strange places beneath the skin and leaving lasting bruises. Keep your eye on Jun Takeuchi. With RE5, he has proved himself Capcom’s most vital talent of the generation.

Ando, you should get it. I would play through with you. I’ve actually been looking for someone to play through again.

I really like Borderlands but its still hard for me to see it this high. The co-op is amazing but the lack of story kind of kills some of it for me… its a large RPG and one of the most important parts of an RPG (if not the most important part) is the story. Its fun as hell to play online but I find myself board after a little while when trying to play single player. It turns into go here, kill that guy, turn in quest, repeat… why? IDK, because that is how you play the game, not because the story tells you that you are doing something to save someone or progress the “plot”.

RE5… I still need to play that :/

Only if RE had come out later in the year. It was one of those games that came out early this year that I played the CRAP out of. When I was reviewing my games, it was one of those that I seemed to overlook. I believe that both of these are in their correct spots!

Now, FEAR 2 should be removed. Just throwing that out there
