Anglerbe's Top 10 Favorite Games as of 2014

10. Devil May Cry 3 (PS3)

The epitome of great hack-and-slash games, with one of my favorite protagonists in any series. There's something about the way that this game controls that just feels natural. And skating around on a demon with two blazing handguns after running up a wall is just badass. By the way, the list of difficulty levels is borderline ridiculous.

9. Warhawk (PS3)

One of my favorite games to play with friends, and a great third-person-shooter, as well. I'll really miss this one when the servers go down...

8. Silent Hill 2 (PS2)

One of the best stories I've seen in a game thus far, coupled with Silent Hill's trademark creepy atmosphere. Despite James being an outwardly flat character, the depth and development of both him and every other character in the game is nearly perfect. And Pyramid Head.

7. Carnivores Cityscape (PC)

Despite some of it's flaws, one of my favorite FPS games, with surprisingly great atmosphere. And dinosaurs are cool.

6. Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)

A fantastic adventure game with an atmosphere of both colossal epicness (I hate to throw that word around, made up or not) and vast emptiness. It also has a surprising story/character depth, for a game with a near-silent protagonist and very few characters. And the music is very fitting and pleasant to listen to.

5. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (GCN)

So bad/cheesy that I can't help but love it. Crush 40 makes it all the better, and even the multiplayer is enjoyable.

4. Luigi's Mansion (GCN)

Probably the game I've beaten the most times, granted it isn't all that long. There's something I love about this game's atmosphere, as well. It's very different than any other game in the Mario series, and I think that factors into its charm.

3. Resident Evil REmake (Wii)

My favorite game from one of my favorite series, with one of my favorite villains and one of my favorite supporting characters. And once again, atmosphere, largely because of the flesh-eating monstrosities but also because of the soundtrack.

2. The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Wii)

Another of my favorite games from another one of my favorite series. I love OoT and MM as much as the next guy(/gal), but there's something about this one (nostalgia?) that puts it on top for me. Twilight Princess also has my favorite overworld warp system in the series.

1. Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter 3 (PC)

My favorite game from a genre that nowadays is almost non-existent, and in many cases where it does exist it's completely misconstrued. Also probably the first game I ever played.

Some honorable mentions:
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (PS3)
Carnivores 2 (PC)
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GCN)
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 (GCN)
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (PS3)
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)
Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)
Mario Kart DS (DS)

Anglerbe's SSB Roster Prediction 4/17/2014

First of all, it's been several months since I've made a post, so hello all you readers (not that anybody actually reads these things). Since StevieJay made a SSB4 roster prediction post, I've decided to create one of my own, which I've drafted after some discussion with friends. Anglerte made the observation that on the official website, there appears to be 7 unused boxes on the character roster at the bottom of the site (pictured below). Assuming that this is an indicator of the number of characters left to be announced (and yes, this is a big assumption but it's all we have to work with right now), here are some of my predictions for the remaining fighters:

Note the 7 boxes

1. Grass Type Pokemon (Pokemon)

Okay, I know this isn't a specific character, but let me explain my reasoning here before you shut me down on this one. They've already announced Charizard, the fire type from gen 1, and Greninja, the water type from gen 6. Because they removed Squirtle and Ivysaur, and replaced the water type, it would logically follow that they will replace Ivysaur with another grass type. Some of my friends have speculated that this new grass type will be from a middle generation (probably gen 4), but because Lucario has already been announced as a returning fighter, I don't see why they would add another gen 4 Pokemon.

2. Pac-Man (Pac-Man)

This one sounds like a stretch at first, but if Wii Fit Trainer is a thing then nothing is out of the question. Considering certain items from Namco games were displayed in the Nintendo Direct, it is a possibility that Pac-Man would join the roster with fellow video game icons Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man.

3. Dante (Devil May Cry)

This one might be just wishful thinking, but I might as well still add it. With the relatively high presence of 3rd Party characters that have already been announced, the likelihood of this actually happening is small, but if Capcom let Mega Man into the game then why not Dante? He already has a little experience in the fighting genre, and his combination of gunslingling and swordplay would bring a reasonably unique play style to the fight. And Capcom is dying not-so-slowly anyway, so it could be like a swansong to them. Just put him in it. Please.

4. Crystal/Falco/Slippy (Star Fox)

We've made a lot of jokes about Crystal being in the game, but as of yet no Star Fox characters other than Fox himself have been announced. Falco has not even been confirmed as a returning fighter, prompting me to think that either a. He's late to the party or b. He's not coming at all. If he isn't making a return, I feel like either Crystal or Slippy have the best chances of taking his place, Crystal because of the potential of her staff and Slippy because, well, he's Slippy.

5. Mew (Pokemon)

Because Sakurai is a troll.

6. Dolph Lundgren

No.
