That's actually a good idea since most games tend to have massive backlogs.
Regarding your own stack, I'm also really selective about the games I play. Sitting through intros, going through tutorials, etc. is usually more than I can bother with.
But Mass Effect 2 is probably top 5 games I've ever played. Everything about it is amazing.
Sleeping Dogs is also a very good game that I'd recommend.
The rest, other than maybe Borderlands, I wouldn't even bother with.
Check out Hotline Miami (not listed) too. Simple graphics, minimal story, and simply mechanics, but the gameplay is very deep and fun.
EDIT: Forgot GTA V. I've always been a big GTA fan, all the way back to 2, but I actually got bored with 5 pretty quickly. Outside of 'wow' factor, I enjoyed Sleeping Dogs a lot more.

If you've got any buddies that like to play video games invite them over and play that with them.
But seriously, Mercenaries 2 is broken. If you can find an original copy of Mercenaries you should play that.
RE: ORC is made by the same company that made the worst game of the SOCOM: US Navy SEALS series and their idea of "difficulty" is to allow monsters made of flesh and bone to soak up hundreds of rounds of assault rifle fire, when that would've devastated them in the other RE games.
Rage can't decide what it wants to be, Borderlands, Fallout, or some hybrid and it fails.
Darkness II is based on the comic book series The Darkness. I think more people know the game than the comic series, though. Just like Goldeneye the game was way better than Goldeneye the movie. The first game was pretty popular and fun, the second is kinda neat but I got tired of shooting the same old enemies again and again.
GTA:V is awesome, of course, but it's really pushing the limits of what the 360 can do. It's really good but I'm going to play it again on PC.
adding to your critiques,
Shadows of the Damned is pretty good, it did not sell to well but I thought it was a great blend of Shinji Mikami's /Suda 51 style.
Dead Space 2 is great not as scary as the first game but still, great reminded me a lot of Resident Evil 4. Multiplayer was stupid though
Splatterhouse is a pretty fun beat em up game.
My Game back log is pretty bad on steam also, I will probably never even touch most of those games. Gaming really has become a passive hobby for me don't play nearly as much as I used to.
@Anonymousbosch
I and many others hope one day you do drop some articles ,whether on ROK or Roosh's new video game site.

RE: I'm starting a video game site
@AnonymousBosch
I'd suggest shifting Borderlands, AKA 'Obnoxious Pop Culture Reference: The Game', down to the bottom of the pile.
Also, congrats on making it 4 dungeons into Dragon Age II before quitting, that's further than me.
I assume you want to get through those before buying anything else, but I'd suggest picking up Dark Souls sometime.
Fantastic gameplay, few distracting cutscenes, minimal story, no "strong female characters©", and no exploring your bisexuality with ridiculous romances. Solid game, overall.

RE: I'm starting a video game site
AnonyBosch:
There is a game called Final Fantasy Tactics.
One of the most complex and emotionally rich storylines I have ever had the pleasure of playing.
Unlike the ham-fisted moralizing of so many new games, FFT weaves a story about the allure and abuse of absolute power with strong homages to Christian imagery, specifically the Biblical character of Judas.
It is turn-based, so it relies much more on strategy than in-the-moment decision-making and dexterity.
While I'm not sure you would enjoy the game-play (I love it) I am certain you would appreciate the characters, dialogue and story arc.

Looks like I should dive into it, because I did remember hearing good things about it, and with forum members vouching for it...sounds like worth trying it out
It's been a while since I played FFT also, but it was always one of my all-time favorites.
I'm not too far into Tactics Ogre, so I can't necessarily say I "recommend" just yet but it's extremely similar to FFT and I just happened to have started it the other day.
I would however strongly recommend Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor for a more modern take on the genre. The overall mechanics are similar but it has a lot of big differences.
The art style is anime but the story is very dark overall. If you've never played SMT games, it all revolves around demons, angels, and a lot of occult kind of material. It's very Japanese, so none of the SJW crap (that I can recall, been a year or two since I've played it), but there is a main character chick who is pretty annoying.
The game is played within the period of a week, and each hour you have choices about where you go. Choosing to go to one place over the other will cause characters to die and the story to change. It's for DS but I just played it on a emulator.

RE: I'm starting a video game site
As a non-gamer, I read this:
Quote:Our goal is simple: create a safe space for heterosexual males who play video games. We won’t exclude homosexuals or attractive women from commenting on our articles, and we sincerely hope they find value in what we have to say, but understand that this site will be written by male gamers for male gamers. It aims to be a place where men can be themselves without SJW infiltration, judgement, and influence. In the year 2014, surprisingly, there are very few spaces for men online where their message isn’t attacked by white knights, man-haters, and SJW’s. I know an unmet need when I see one.

RE: I'm starting a video game site
Can someone explain this to me?
I don't understand this, and I don't like it when I don't understand things.
https://twitter.com/carolynmichelle/stat...9761141760
Here is Miss Michelle's statement:
"There's so much gold in the Reaxxion mission statement but I think this is my favorite line. http://www.reaxxion.com/1287/welcome-to-reaxxion … "
The line in question is "I won't tell you go to the gym and sleep with thin EE women, behaviors I currently engage in."
This is evidently comedy gold to people, since there are responses like:
@carolynmichelle omfg, that's a gem
@carolynmichelle Oh man I someone totally missed that line, and am now thankful you pointed it out.
@carolynmichelle that made me laugh despite my general rage toward the whole thing
SJWs evidently find the gym incredibly humorous. Or maybe sleeping with thin EE women is funny?
What is going on here?

RE: I'm starting a video game site
While I support #gamergate, I'm not sure if I'm ready to hitch my wagon to them completely. They seem hyper sensitive to their enemies giving false labels like "misogynist" or "sexist". They really care what SJW's think of them and want to come across as noble. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's how their movement can be destroyed.
