Help me decide what game to buy next

I'm addicted to games

DKCR is retro? I had no clue. Will definitely be getting that one soon then.

So even though I'm still not finished with Portal 2, Fallout NV or AC3 yesterday I bought another game from my list. It didn't receive many votes, but RE6 fell in price to $20 and I'm a sucker for cheap games. Probably won't even start playing it until I at least finish Portal 2. I also got severely distracted this weekend by a "double xp" event in Final Fantasy 11.

Play more Tetris!

You should definitely pick your Fable and play the shit out of it. The entire Fable universe is really great and all 3 Fable games are really good!

Professional Shaq Fu Speedrunner

I've never played Fable 2 or 3, but I did play Fable 1. I've never routed out or considered the speedrunning aspect to Fable 1, but the game itself is ridiculously short, and the lightning spell is ridiculously OP in casual play. When I can stand there and just hold lightning and hit a magic potion hotkey to refill magic for almost the entire fight, I'd call that one heck of a disappointing ending. While there are the "lost chapters", I don't own that version on Xbox. While I don't regret buying and playing it for the price I did pay for it ($5), I shudder to think of paying $50 dollars for the game when it came out. I finished it in 12 hours. And that wasn't even trying to go fast.

With the right combination of spells (something like berserk, speed up and slow time) even the final final boss (Lost Chapters DLC) goes down before it's properly done with the intro cinematic. As much as I enjoy breaking games by finding really overpowered combinations like that, this was a surprise even to me. Still, I find it a really enjoyable game and even played it through a few times more. I do not regret borrowing it.

As you already have Portal 2, which would be my first suggestion, I'd say you might want to look into Mario Galaxy 2 after that. For some reason unknown I really can't stand the Wii, but that game got me to sit through motion controls for quite a few hours, getting all but one star. Damn you, 242!

I strongly recommend playing FF9. As @Poxnor said, it's a slow opening, but well worth it.

The speedrun is ~1:45:00.
