When I think samsung I think mobile :P

I don't like their mobile division because all these tech ignorant people I run into some how think that Samsung is the only android phone manufacturer and that they created android. You have no idea how many times I've heard stuff like "I just love my samsung!" "I know right! The way it works is great, I love the operating system they made!".

Well Vanilla Android just yells "Paint me!", while Samsung just profiled it's wish. Touchwiz may be the best Android skin ever made. (Warning: Biased opinion) But there are reasons why Samsung became the largest manufacturer of mobile devices starting from 2011. It's because Samsung make good products. You'll see things get better with ignorant fans as Samsung moves away from Android with Tizen with Google trying to take back control over the Android ecosystem, like the "Powered by Android" requirement Google's emphasizing.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 Multiplayer Mod, I went into that game thinking it would be really boring, but when I was roaming around with other people across Europe I realized it was really fun. Its not something everyone will like but its worth a try :D

Single player:

Alan Wake - One of my all time favourites, great narrative and twisted story.

The Walking Dead Season 1 (Tell Tale Games) - Very touching game.

Silent Hill 2 - It'll screw with your head.

Crysis 1 - That and warhead are the only ones worth playing in the series and its still beautiful even today.

Portal 2 - Funny as hell.

Multiplayer:

Battlefield 4 - Its come along way in the last couple of months :P

Team fortress/Custom team fortress - The original on the Quake engine before the half life version spoiled it.

Nidhogg - So simple but so much fun!

Star Citizen - Pre-alpha awesomeness.

Worms - Very amusing series.

Could list a bunch more but five a side is probably a good list length ;)

I kind of love story based games more than action based

 

Longest Journey

Planescape Torment (Take a vacation before playing this one) 

Witcher 1 and 2

Hacker Evolution (Can't think of another game which closely resembles hacking as this one)

Hawken (Mech Online Shooter loads of fun)

Hotline Miami 

Tomb Raider Legend

Mirror's Edge

FTL (So addictive I had to stop playing to avoid it eating up my life)

Papers Please
