I got just one new game for christmas, and holy guacamole was it a good one.

I heard about this game from the Gamespot "Big Game Hunters"feature.

I could talk forever about how great this game is. Portal is unlike anything i've played before. TF2 is an extremely unique and fun multiplayer FPS. The Half Life series is quite possibly the best PC game ever, now converted for platforms.

I would also like to take a moment to thank Gamespot for being such an awesome site. I can always find interesting and reliable news on the games I love and features like this one that never steer me in the wrong direction.

I haven't been a member of the Gamespot community for very long but I've enjoyed it so much that my new years resolution is to contribute more to Gamespot--and to get my hands on more of the games on the aforementioned Big Game Hunters list.
