@b-cell The risk there is that we end up with Fighting Force or State of Emergency or Final Fight Streetwise or...

Mario, Zelda or GTA, I will probably squeak. Metroid, my neighbours will file a noise complaint.

@scotty Who is this?

@tokyoslim You know, I started it a year or two ago and something that I can't remember (maybe controls?) bugged me to the point of a hard quit. This video has made me want to go back.

@dmcmaster If Mattingly still hasn't done anything about those damn sideburns, I'm out.

Hitman 2 - only a year old but still needs to be on my list. Such a treat. I will head back in soon I think so I can try out the DLC.

Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - so good. I'm not sure why I didn't pick this up closer to release but I'm glad I finally got around to it. A little easy towards the end but I guess it's not as easy for them to create challenge in 2D games?

Red Dead Redemption - As a lover of GTA, I am not sure why I had near-zero interest in this one at launch. While I did tire by the end of the story, I really enjoyed this world. And it still looks incredible. Time to finally start the copy of RDR2 I have had since June!

Here we GO. The big one. That's right - it's time for the Game You Played For The First Time Of The Year 2019.

Simplified: these are the best games you played for the first time in 2019, regardless of their actual year of release (2019 qualifies).

You can do just 1 or a list but let's maybe try to keep it at or below 5 (soft rule). Feel free to also divide into genres, categories or any other group you like. If you did the Tackle the Backlog, that's probably a good place to start (I'm headed there right now).

@dipset Yeah it was $49.99 CAD at Walmart for Black Friday, sold it for $60. I think I'll just grab one of the older ones soon so I don't have to feel guilty about the price when I barely play it.

Too bad about the updates, all that talk about this being the biggest update ever had me intrigued - though I guess I feel better in my decision now.

@dipset Update: I just sold Modern Warfare - and I made a smooth $4 profit!! I liked it but have, since buying it, realized that I just don't have the time to get in long play sessions like I would like. And the few times I actually tried to jump in, there was always a huge update so I couldn't.

For the first time since 2010 (Black Ops 1), I am the owner of a Call of Duty game. I have enjoyed my limited time with it but have yet to try out online or Spec Ops. I am pretty sure I will hate online as I will likely often be the other guy in Youtuber videos but I'm ready to give it a go at least. Anybody else pick it up?
