		<description>You thought Left 4 Dead flew under the radar??? I couldn&#039;t disagree more. Not only did everyone I know who plays video games walk around hyping it up for weeks before its release, it seems like every time I talk to someone they&#039;re recommending it to me.

At first I just wasn&#039;t interested in it because, as you say, it&#039;s easy to write off as just another zombie game (a genre I&#039;m not a fan of in the first place). Now I never want to hear about it again because I&#039;m so sick of people recommending it to me.

Ahem.

Dominion&#039;s been a huge success with almost everyone I&#039;ve played it with, with only two (very notable) exceptions. A guy I know named Bryan, who&#039;s actually published a couple games and runs a bi-weekly gamer group, is willing to play it but doesn&#039;t care much for it. More disheartening, though, my fiancée doesn&#039;t like it. :( But I&#039;ve played it with many other people and they all think it&#039;s fantastic. It&#039;s quickly become one of my favorite games as well.

Got Monty Python Fluxx as a gift. Not a huge fan of Fluxx, but this is a good deck as far as Fluxx decks go. Creepers return and they&#039;ve added a lot of new ideas to mix it up a bit.

As long as you&#039;re recommending Braid, let me recommend another Xbox Live Arcade title: Castle Crashers. I&#039;m not generally a fan of beat &#039;em ups, but this game is really well done and, more importantly, the quirky humor and style are really nice.

		<description>Great list! I may have to pick up Fallout 3 since I keep hearing so many good things about it. :)
