So 2008 is technically not over, but for gaming it is(for the most part). So, what are your picks? Let down year or best year ever?
For me it wasn't quite as exciting as last year, but I did really enjoy a few games.
1. Little Big Planet - Such a varied game, depending on the level it could be a platformer, adventure, action game, or even shooter, and best of all it never ends. I doubted the power of the community initially, but now that it's been out for a couple of months we're really seeing quality levels out there thanks to the creativity of gamers and the brilliance of the level creator.
2. Bangai O Spirits - This game is just fun, and it's incredibly easy to play in short bursts. It's warioware for action gamers.
3. Braid - Brilliant and pretty. The puzzles were challenging, without being tedious. Each puzzle left me impressed rather than frustrated, and the art and music couldn't have been better...seriously.Oh and writing's ain't too shabby either. It's almost like the perfect game for me.
(I just realized that my favorite games of the year are all 2D....I guess 2D is coming back finally?)
