I think, that after playing through the Dead Space games I'm going to have to give it to Dead Space as my favorite new IP.  I would not rate either of the games above either of the NMH games, but as a peice of IP, judging by the depth o fthe story, the pacing, all the supporting media, I'd have to give it to them instead.

I can never pick just one. Maybe PES for the wii? Love the team strategy  element in that one.
Honorable mentions to excite truck - bots kind of tarnished it and mirror's edge - developers not brave enough to remove or tone down the combat.

OMG Aangry -- good to see you.  I agree entirely on Mirror's Edge.  I don't think DICE would have had any say in the inclusion of the combat (which ruined the game).  As a protest I went through 6 levels without using a gun -- until ultimately it was required -- it totally was against the whole spirit of the game -- which is flight over fight.

Oh, I'm still around. I just don't post as much as I could. I'm like the little kid listening into the family discussions that nobody notices is there.

Wait - I wanted that to sound sort of warm and friendly but now I'm thinking of Damien.

Oh yeah, me too. To me the fun and spirit of the game had little to do with combat, especially picking up a pistol.  I always play games like you're "supposed" to but with this one I flat out refused. I actually got a kick out of disarming thugs and throwing their weapons away more than shooting them. A friends kid (slightly bloodthirsty) was watching me play and was mad that I wasn't shooting anyone. I quit playing after I got through a section with a bunch of guys gunning for me - I had to replay it a bunch of times to get through it but I did it and then gave up on it.

Yep, I really liked this game but I could have loved it.

What about the more realistic freeze?

Fight, flight, or freeze. Nyaa

Though it would not make for a very long game.

Shit, freeze is good too!  I loved the Thief games.  And being an invisible hobbit thief when I tried out that lord of the rings mmo was fun. I played Call of Cthulthu in super stealth mode under assumption that it was a horror game and you couldn't go one on one with the crazed townfolk. ( you start out more on the run)  Stopped playing it after I started getting into too many gun battles..

There's not enough games that insist that you be sneaky/stealthy .

Yeah, I became completely reliant on Stasis (freeze) in Dead Space, so much so that when I was playing Arkham I went to use it a fair bit early in the game.
