I've got in for PS2. One of the best games I've ever played. Like you say just like an interactive movie. The story is amazing. It's got absolutley zilcho replay factor, but who cares when the first go is so damned good!

It's quite similar to my favourite PS games of all time, Fear Effects 1 & 2 but raises the bar in terms of interactivity. Check out these games if you can:

Fear Effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My fave game of last year was Smackdown v Raw 2008 - A return to form for the franchise. (You can clearly see I'm still in the dark ages stuck with a PS2! - none of your funcy Xbox nonsense!)

Great game, I had it on PS2 but got frustrated with the dual joystick "dodge" sections as I am basically, shite, with console controllers.

I found it again on PC - which is my games weapon of choice - and the control was even worse!

Fantastic concept, with an immersive storyline, but I feel that they missed a trick by trying to make it too "Super Mario" with complex control demands.

I did enjoy the storyline of the game though and would love to finish it sometime, but I just didn't have the patience to repeat whole chapters over and over again when I got "killed".

If it's backwardly compatible with the PS3, I'd certainly try it again - FIFA 08 & Resistance:Fall of Man have great improved my coordination!!!

Yeah i know, i stopped playing at about three on sunday morning, (3 hours after i told her i was away to finish) i checked my stats and realised im only half way through after playing it for about 50 hrs!!

Defo no replayability though, but looking forward to the conclusion of it!

My favourite game of 2006, got a bit weird towards the end, but a definite recommendation to anyone.

Portal for 2007, I would have paid the full £30 just for it alone. The Half-Life episodes and TF2 was just the icing on the cake, lie or not

Out of curiosity, how much have people completed in Portal?

Ive done every advanced chamber and got bronze medals on all the "least portals" challenges (also got gold and silver on some). Only got a few bronze medals in quickest time challenges and haven't got ANY in least footsteps. Also still have 5 achievements to get.

Played through the game again the other day in an hour. It's just so incredibly fucking awesome.

As for TF2, still play it just about every day and have begun to use almost every class at some point or another, only 2 more achievements to get. Ace.

I started the advanced level stuff one day but I actually forgot I had done that (better get back to it). I think I got stuck pretty quick, the floor has been replaced with green stuff that kills.

Have you seen the guy completing portal in 18 minutes on Youtube? check it ooot.
