Spider-Man 2 – Xbox
This game still stands as THEbipolarBear’s number one video game of all time across any platform and in any universe.

Upon its release, Bethesda had struck gold. The gameplay was smooth and interesting, the open world offered countless hours of exploration, and the customization kept gamers coming back again and again, causing a fantastic game and a legendary series.
