This is a great list. I'll have to try some of these. ^.^
I feel like it oddly compliments this post I made today about feminism, gaming, and how much everyone really just wants to hang out and have fun.

If you have a PS2 or a PS3 I highly recommend Shadow of the Colossus and/or its HD remake, respectively. The controls can be a bit off-putting at first, but stick with it and you'll experience a beautiful and tragic story in a fleeting, yet unforgettable world with a score that inspires bravery in even the most timid of players, and will make you want to listen to it again and again.

Every couple of years or so I feel prompted to play through this game again, and it just never gets old, no matter how many times I've beaten it.

I've been meaning to play that forever! Especially since The Last Guardian is on its way. Thanks for reminding me!

I guess I need to start checking out more video games. I think i'll try the last of us first. haha!

Lol next time you come over.

A thinking gamer is always welcome.

Wonderful list! (Even though I haven't played the majority of these games, it is well-written and makes me think twice about being an almost exclusively F2P gamer)

I think that "The Stanley Parable" and "The Beginners Guide" Also deserve a spot on this list. (Or a similar list for short games) If you have never heard of them, DO NOT DO ANY RESEARCH, just buy them. (Learning about them first takes the fun out of the game... and it's a unique 1-time experience that you won't get with many... any other games).

P.S. You look exactly like a (sorta) friend of mine! Obviously a little younger, but you look scary-close alike to her.
