The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Free Next-Gen UpdateRecommendedThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Free Next-Gen Update 5.0/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend2Target0“An Open World Masterpiece + Gwent”**This game was breathtaking in it's scope and world building.** I've spent hundred's of hours becoming more and more attached to the gruff and grim **Geralt of Rivia** . My Geralt was fair, oppurtunistic, and always ready to scuffle. But my playthough was unlikely the same as yours. This game lends itself to be played in many ways and that speaks to the depth in storytelling and worldbuilding at play. Like most games with multiple story paths, I find myself conflicted in starting a new playthough because I'd like to believe my decisions carried some conviction... Unless this were fallout or BG3 where I can save scum and see many story altering branches. And I MAY have save scummed a bit to puruse Geralt's great loves. No you can't have it all but both main love interests are worth pursuing. The **GWENT **was somehow one of my favorite sidequests to track down in a game whose combat is extremely intricate. That is unless you max out QUEN and just reflect all damage with your shield bubble. It wasn't just fun to play, it was immersive. Hard to argue for me that this is a masterpiece.

Super Smash Bros. MeleeRecommendedSuper Smash Bros. Melee 4.6/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend1Target0“Eternal Memories”This game, it's sequels and predecessors were pivotal in my childhood up to adulthood. Whooping my friends, and yes also getting whooped has been so entertaining. One of my favorites RecommendedOpen Transmission
SSX TrickyRecommendedSSX Tricky 4.8/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend1Target0“The wildest moves”A Vibrant and exhilarating competitive snowboarding game. Of the series this is by FAR the most stylish and in my opinion the best of them all. Amazing sountracks and unreal tricks make this game one of the most memorable I've ever played. EA please bring this series back. RecommendedOpen Transmission
Hollow Knight: SilksongRecommendedHollow Knight: Silksong 5.0/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend1Target0“Unbelievably challenging and equally rewarding”An absolute gem I fear many won't see through till the end. You can and SHOULD change your builds to deal with different scenarios. If you can't beat something, explore elsewhere, gain strength, new tools, and return invigorated. RecommendedOpen Transmission
Elden RingRecommendedElden Ring 5.0/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend1Target0“Discovery and Challenge”Another hit from fromsoft. This game kept me hooked for months. The only times I wanted to put the controller down was after insane boss fights or unlucky circumstances carrying a lot of runes (souls). I will play this again an again. Melania gets this game a sixth star in difficulty. The only thing I wish it had was better availabilty and options to experiment with upgraded weapons, but that's a general souls gripe.

Final Fantasy XRecommendedFinal Fantasy X 4.9/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend1Target0“Groundbreaking Graphics and Romance”This was my first game on the PS2, and the graphics and cutscenes were jaw dropping at the time. Truly they still hold up. Finding this game here made me look up the musical score and download it. My favortie FF to this day. RecommendedOpen Transmission
God of WarRecommendedGod of War 5.0/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend1Target0“Cinematic and Deep”An emotional story of disagreement, communication, forgiveness, and growth. One of the most memorable campaigns I've played through. Filled with puzzles, sidequests, and rpg elements. This game has it all. The combat is not half bad either ;) RecommendedOpen Transmission
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WildRecommendedThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 4.6/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend1Target0“An open world adventure of your own - Part 1”This game gives you sooooo much agency that you will frequently forget WHAT you were supposed to be doing. What makes this different to most other open world games is that it's not sidequests that are necessarily distracting you, it's the game systems. Climbing, swimming, running, and horseback riding all feel like their own mini games. Combat has a tremendously high skill ceiling. The best part about this game is getting lost in those systems, and getting better at them. RecommendedOpen Transmission
Batman: Arkham City - Game of the Year EditionRecommendedBatman: Arkham City - Game of the Year Edition 4.8/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend0Target0“Dark Setting for the Dark Knight”The heavy hitting Bat returns for a bigger and better installment of Arkham Asylum.

The Last of Us Part IIRecommendedThe Last of Us Part II 5.0/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend0Target0“Untitled Report”Incredibly cinematic, emotional, and heavy hitting title. Stealth or combat, a choice that sometimes feels entirely out of your control. RecommendedOpen Transmission
Halo 3RecommendedHalo 3 5.0/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend0Target0“THE ARBITER!!!”As a follow up to one of my absolute favorite games, it's hard to believe that they only got better up to this point. Refined Multiplayer, Stellar Graphics, and a Gut Wrenching campaign filled with wild rides in the old Warthog, fighting on Scarabs, AND the best Co-op companion to date. THE ARBITER!!! RecommendedOpen Transmission
Halo 2RecommendedHalo 2 5.0/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend0Target0“Legendary Challenge”This sequel had the best multiplayer I've played to this day. Dual wielding, amazing vehicles and game modes that were endless fun. Campaign was solid too but damn... Lan Parties in this game were legendary. RecommendedOpen Transmission
Halo 3: ODSTRecommendedHalo 3: ODST 5.0/5 HD Intel CompletedDefend0Target0“NEEDS SEQUEL!”Unbelievable that the Halo universe could give us the power of masterchief and yet still make an absolute banger where you play as these highly specialized unit of grunts. One of my favorite halo games hands down. RecommendedOpen Transmission
