Games of the Year

<< < (5/6) > >>

est:
World In Conflict is probably my favourite PC game so far this year, but for some reason I haven't really been playing all that much on the PC.  80s/90s invasion of the US by Russian forces while most of the US forces are over in Europe helping allies against Russia there.  Excellent graphics and realistic units.  I am a big fan.

On the DS I am playing a whole shitload of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.  I play a little of this almost every day.  The pacing of it is awesome and the integration of the controls and so forth is top-notch.

On the PS2 I played a lot of God of War 2 and a lot of FIFA 07.  Like, a lot a lot of FIFA 07.  My housemate and I are football fans and I am a fan of seeing numbers go up, so I handle most of the transfers and so forth and we play through seasons in Manager mode.  We tried FIFA 08 but they've fucked it up somehow.  Not sure how exactly, but they've done it and we're pretty unhappy with the situation.  The manager mode in 07 was a marked improvement over 06.  There is not really anything compelling in 08 for me other than updated player lists, which could be an add-on/download for 07.  Oh well.

1. Mass Effect:

I've been playing an 80's Epic Sci-Fi space opera for over 80 gameplay hours and I'm not bored in the least. As long as they don't fuck up the sequels, this game will be guaranteed in my top 5 of all time. If they fix the bugs in the sequels I'll say Top 4.

2. Bioshock

I've certainly played better shooters, but none of them have had the amazing story of this game. The death scene of Andrew Ryan alone was well worth the experience of playing this game. Plus, i could massacre my enemies with fucking bees coming out of my arm.

3. Mario Galaxy

It's games like this that convince me that Miyamoto eats magic and shits miracles.

4. Orange Box

Best valued package I've ever seen, along with one of the most well done and unique narratives that's ever been attempted. Portal is just simply a 1 of a kind game period right now (unless you count Narbacular Drop) and was just absolute pure. The fact it was so short simply meant that the development team knew the game's entertainment limits and didn't want to draw it out, which is amazing of them. The dark humor in the game was also amazing and GLADOS is now one of my favorite characters ever, and sings one of my favorite songs ever.

5. The Witcher

The only real problem I had with the game was that I thought the timed combat was kinda meh. It was really just Diablo point and click but with less furious mashing, otherwise the story was great, the atmosphere of the game was great and collecting cards of your sexual conquest was more amusing than it should have been.

6. STALKER

This is the game that forced me to put some faith in a First Person Fallout. Despite the fact that it was nowhere near what they were planning for the game, it was just plain and simple a lot of fun to fuck around in Chernobyl. I'll admit that a lot of it had to do with the severe lack of post nuclear apocolypse based games.

7. Metroid Prime 3

First Wii FPS to get the controls perfect, and it did it with a hell of a lot of style. Sure, twisting the Wiimote to open doors, or yanking back to gnab shields or tear shit down isn't  necesarry, but jesus shit did it ever make it so much cooler.

8. Rogue Galaxy

I love me some OC dungeon crawlers and this had so much shit for me to mess around with, along with a goddamn dog with a giant fucking axe and a cybernetic arm.


Note that I haven't played Assassin's Creed or Phantom Hourglass yet.

Rizzo:
Portal
Skate
God Of War 2
Mario Galaxy

Johnny C:
Everyone keeps talking about Portal in the Orange Box, but where's the love for Episode 2?

I've been meaning to take a look at Skate.

Rizzo:
To be honest, I haven't played Ep2, just Portal.
Skate is fantastic. 100 times better than any of the previous THPS series. And much more logical to control.
