    We're better than that in Videog Games and Technology.

    1. The game that made me say "Wow!" is... Gears of War 2. I hate, hate, hated the first. The second hit every mark in the bullseye. I was never bored. Combat was consistently varied and interesting rather than the firsts corridor, cover-room-fight, corridor, cover-room fight etc. 2 was wicked cool shorts.

    2. The game I wish I hadn't spent money on is... Lego Indiana Jones. Tired of Lego Games. It just felt completely flat compared to Star Wars and even Batman.

    3. The game I spent most time thinking about when I wasn't playing it was... Rock Band and Rock Band 2 (both released this year in Europe :p ). Love that game so fucking much.

    4. The best game I (legitimately) downloaded was... Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix. Fighting Smang and co. has never been so much fun. Still as good as it was when it first hit.

    5. My game of the year is... Metal Gear Solid 4. A solid, mind blowing, utterly memorable experience that will remain just as amazing 10 years from now as it was the first time I booted it up. Very much like MGS itself.

    2. The game I wish I hadn't spent money on is... - Final Fantasy IV DS

    3. The game I spent most time thinking about when I wasn't playing it was... - I don't buy much games. I blame the economy.

    4. The best game I (legitimately) downloaded was... - Punch Out!!!, unless that was last year, and if it was last year, then nothing becuase Punch Out was the last game I downloaded

    3. The game I spent most time thinking about when I wasn't playing it was... Left 4 Dead and Fable 2

    4. The best game I (legitimately) downloaded was... Maybe Streets of Rage 2. I can't remember when I downloaded it.

    1. The game that made me say "Wow!" is... Mirrors Edge. Run and Jump and look down and 'HOLY SHIT!'

    2. The game I wish I hadn't spent money on is... Iron Man. I bought it on the strength of the Demo, its not that bad, but I don't play it cuz its too hard so now I wish I didn't pay money for it... even if I did get it cheap. Also, even though it didn't come out this year, I got it this year with my Wii, so in a way, I did pay for it. Super Fruit Fall. Waste of plastic.

    3. The game I spent most time thinking about when I wasn't playing it was... Can't hink if anything really, when I'm not playing I switch off games. But Star Wars: The Force Unleashed springs to mind, the whole Star Wars feel really gets under your skin. Shame the game doesn't live up to the polish.

    4. The best game I (legitimately) downloaded was... Castle Crashers. Most fun I've had playing games with the wife. Normally its quite frustrating but not this game. Hack and slash at its best. Swiftly followed by SSF2THDR, 2D quality. The only thing that would make it better is more parallax.

    5. My game of the year is... Fallout 3, without question. I haven't been sucked into a game like this since Mass Effect or KOTOR. Sublime. Who knew leveling up so I can repair a combat shotgun to 100% then killing a super Mutant in one shot by shooting it the face would be so satisfying?

    1. The game that made me say "Wow!" is... Transformers Awakening for my phone. The game had so much to offer for what it actually was. The graphics were good, the gameplay was enjoyable, and it really remained true to the G1 characters. Metroplex and Trypticon acted as bases for adding in new characters, ratchet heals, soundwave has cassettes, etc.. it was just really really well done, and it was G1.

    2. The game I wish I hadn't spent money on is... Spore. I love the concept, I think the execution was pretty decent, but they kind of ruined things with their choices for which copy protection software they chose to use.

    3. The game I spent most time thinking about when I wasn't playing it was...SSF2T HD remix. I ended up playing a lot of street fighter 2 turbo while trying to wait for this game

    4. The best game I (legitimately) downloaded was... SSF2T HD remix.

    5. My game of the year is... MGS4
