There are a lot of games I like, but none that I really looove here.

I had fun with Tecmo Super Bowl, but it's not a BGE for me. I never liked Sonic. Illusion of Gaia and Master of Orion are excellent, but I never put enough time into them to fully appreciate them. Borderlands I liked but again, I didn't invest as much time into it as I could have and Destiny did so many things better. If this were happening later in October, then maybe I would have had a chance to play Talos.

I'm probably between Gaia, Orion, and Borderlands here. I'll mull it over throughout the week evening.

I liked Sonic the Hedgehog and Tecmo Super Bowl. It was a tough choice between those two. I think I played Illusion of Gaia but I'm not positive. Was that an action RPG or am I thinking of something else?

You can vote for more than one!

Illusion of Time was pretty great, I voted for that.

Almost abstained here, but on soundtrack and youthful nostalgia alone, Sonic gets my pick.

Voted for Borderlands because I cherish some memories of playing the shit out of it during a Thanksgiving week with a friend.

We got all but one achievement (get to level 50) together in 5 days.

If you're bitten by a snake, you should run around like crazy and he'll let go.

Sonic the Hedgehog will advance to round 2!
