This is where you all come in. I need your advice on which of these games I should play next, and why. Check out my list below and let me know what you think. Help me Destructoid, you're my only hope!

Which game should I play next?

Just face it, almost everyone here is gonna say BG&E. It's really a spectacular title.

Make sure you play Dead Space, then Ninja Gaiden 2, imo (LAWLS action-whoring for the win).

IMO, while 99% of people will say BG&E, I think you should wait until you have nothing on your plate to enjoy it.

Out of all the videos you could have put under Failtoid, why the Top 10 Shoot'Em Up Movies? It lists John Woo's Hard Boiled, that movie was anything but fail. asdfkjasdfk I like to nag about pointless stuff like that.

Also. Dead Space. And after that, BG&E

Aw. Even when I create a LNL failblog, it makes the top sauce. You guys are number one.

BGE, then Gears, Then Resistance, then MP3, then SC4, then NG2. I say that last because it will murder you with it's difficulty.

Don't know how much it means coming from me or in general, lol, but as a few before have said, I would nominate Beyond Good & Evil. It's one of the ever growing "few" games I've played from my collection, and I hold it in high enough regard in terms of gameplay, story, etc. that I would call it a very honorable and unique enough Ocarina of Time clone.

Beyond Good and Evil. Also, thanks for the top sauce bump!

Dead Space, only because I've only just started playing BG&E because it's not behaving with my graphics card.

Resistance 2. Love that game.

I am going to be the controverisal voice and say that BG&E was just okay, it didn't blow me away like other games I have played, and in the end it didn't interest me enough to even finish it. Even THAT moment, (you guys know what I am talking about)didn't affect me whatsoever, simply because I deducted long before what was going to happen to 'him'. It is a good game, but not near as awesome as most people make it out to be.

However, the art style is sumptuous, and the visuals a real treat to the eye.

I'd say go with Dead Space,awesome audio and you get real sense of fear from that game. Luckily the game length feels just right and you don't feel like the game drags at all.

As is the general concensus I suggest BG&E first then Dead Space it's a really good visceral action game but a decent horror game. Overall you'll enjoy Dead Space but expect the scariness to wear away pretty damn quickly and be replaced surprise.
