Giant Bomb's Game of the Year 2010: Day Four

It's the Story of the Worst Trend at an Eastern Bloc Party for the Nintendo DS! Or something!

Step into the sausage factory with our Day Four Deliberation Podcast to find out how these ridiculous choices got made!

Character We'd Most Like To Party With  

  

The Illusive Man 


Have you seen where this guy lives? As far as we can tell, he's got an apartment orbiting its own star. Do you understand what kind of blue alien ladies you can pull into a room with that kind of view? The Illusive Man doesn't just know how to party, he throws the slickest soiree this side of the Omega IV relay. He's a fixture on the cover of Galactic Quarterly. Realistically, the Illusive Man is too classy for us to party with--but we should all aspire to be more than we are, right?  

         
No Caption Provided
In all seriousness, the Illusive Man doesn't just know how to enjoy the finer things in life. This is a guy who gets things done, and doesn't let petty ethical quibbles or alien opposition stand in his way. He's a man of singular vision and unending drive, a strong personality that commands the respect of everyone around him. Plus, he's got robot eyes. That must make for a pretty good conversation piece.

Now, we're realistic enough to know what it would actually be like to party with the Illusive Man. We'd probably be lucky to get in the door at all, and even then the place would be packed with salarian sycophants and asari hangers-on. The Man himself would be sequestered in the VIP room, calling the shots and letting people come to him. It's precisely that elusive mystique that makes the Illusive Man the clear choice for this year's character who best knows how to show people a good time.

Dave's Eastern Bloc Game of the Year 

 

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

 
No Caption Provided
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a recognizable franchise at this point. While that may seem like a simple statement for most of us, for Ukrainian developer GSC Game World it proves that they're finally maturing into a major, international player in the realm of video game development. While Call of Pripyat differs little from the previous two games in the series in terms of gameplay, it's surprising nonetheless for how polished and complete it feels. Considering the famous stability and technical problems that plague other games made in the region, it marks the moment when you can almost see this series going mainstream in its next iteration. This is a great shooter that blends the FPS/RPG hybrid in a natural, realistic way that in many facets is the polar opposite of the Fallout series--the game it is most often compared to.

Make no mess about it, Call of Pripyat is definitely an RPG. While the game eschews the normal experience system found in similar games, it rewards exploration and quest completion with a constant progression of weapons and armor that make a real impact on your tactics. Add in some excellent day/night mechanics, weapon upgrades, and a real need to eat and drink vodka and you've got one of the most hardcore RPGs released in the past year. While Call of Pripyat could benefit from some instruction or hand-holding in the early game (it pretty much just drops you into the world) this feels like a natural progression in difficulty for those players who enjoy Bethesda or BioWare-style open-world games and want something more combat-focused. The fact that we can make that recommendation without also adding the normal caveat of "as long as you're OK with it being kind of broken" makes us feel pretty good this year.

Worst Trend


Retailer-Specific Pre-Order Bonuses 

 
No Caption Provided
This just seems like the worst-case scenario coming to pass. Who are the people most likely to pre-order a game? We're guessing it's people that are already fans of whatever it is you're selling. These guys, as it turns out, are usually the people who are excited enough to want every single piece of content surrounding a game. So what's the best way to disenfranchise a game's biggest fans? By telling them that they actually can't get every single piece of content unless they're willing to do something drastic, like pre-order three copies of the game to get every single silly little download code. 

Look, we don't mean to be thick-headed here. We get it, pre-orders of games have become a necessary evil, giving retailers clear signs of how many copies they need to buy from a publisher for the months ahead, and the best way to goose those numbers is to entice people into a specific store with the right kind of loot. But this practice is making games worse, not better. The industry needs to stop punishing its most ardent followers and make pre-order bonuses generic across all retailers.

Best Story 


Red Dead Redemption

 
Rockstar Games has been the standard-bearer for gritty, sophisticated storytelling in video games for nigh-on a decade now, but it delivers something surprisingly personal with Red Dead Redemption, a game that celebrates the bitter, fascinating revisionist Western as defined by dark, thoughtful material like Unforgiven and Deadwood. The story of John Marston's bloody search for redemption--or, at the very least, some measure of peace for his young family--in this most volatile of settings puts him both up against and in league with a colorful cast of thoroughly compromised characters, each despicably human in their own unique ways.
 
Admittedly, much of the game has Marston serving as an errand-boy for scoundrels, but the game's exploration of themes like the encroachment of modern life on the frontier, plus a series of quietly surprising turns in the narrative, set Red Dead Redemption apart even from the nasty genre stylings of the Grand Theft Auto series.

Best DS-Only Game

 

Picross 3D

 
No Caption Provided
The best handheld games are still the ones that can fill any length of time effectively. Whether you've got five minutes or five hours, Picross 3D is the sort of thing that just swallows time, filling the gaps between car rides, busses, trains, toilet trips, whatever. Picross 3D's brand of logic puzzle isn't always the most difficult, but chiseling out all of those little block puzzles is the most engaging and downright addictive thing we did with a Nintendo DS in 2010. 
 
It's got a ton of puzzles, but you can also go in and create your own and get new puzzles from other players or go online and grab free new puzzles from Nintendo. There's actually not much more to say about it other than it's available at a very reasonable price and we recommend you pick up a copy if you haven't already. Picross!

I currently own two DS games, Picross 3D and Super Scribblenauts. Both are puzzle games while being completely different. DIY and Layton are both great games as well.

As a newer DS owner, Picross wasn't even on my radar.  Guess I'll have to look into it.  And people sure seem to dig 999.

I'm going to be that guy for a few minutes.  
 
I've read the Mass Effect books. 
The Illusive Man, while open to using aliens for the sake of humanity dosn't care for their social company and views them as animals and tools. 
The room he's in in Mass Effect 2 is part of a small mobile space station-ship that houses only the most sycophantic of the Illusive Mans supporters. You know the type, the ones that wouldn't even kill him even if he destroyed their entire family. The ones that would form a wall around him if he being shot at. 
   
And whenever he has visitors the Illusive Man has security and a type shadow high alert status the whole time the visitors are on the station. 
 
Once the visitor has left the station, the station moves to another very well hidden solar system until he wants to move again for reasons he dosn't have to tell anyone.  
 
While I understand why the Bombsquad chose the Illusive man based on the game, the further Lore of the Mass Effect universe proves that he is a very difficult man to deal and socialise with and personally I'd be scared of him taking something I said the wrong way. 
He's the sort of person that dosn't intimidate people in words but in his silence and his very presence and knowledge. (He's even outdone Aria for Intelligence skills in the books.) 
Not really the partying type. 

Nerd out-burst over. Now I'll be normal again.

"
Thank you for fucking up what could have been a very cool revelation from the Mass Effect 2 books that I ordered 2 days ago from Borders. Have you ever heard of a spoiler alert?

The only reason that Red Dead won best story is that they didn't play 999.  Don't get me wrong, Red Dead's story is quite good, as is the story of Mass Effect 2.  As for Alan Wake, it felt like a lot of a the story was being made up as it went along, and I've even played through all of the DLC.  It still ended up with a cliffhanger and virtually nothing answered.  If Alan Wake was nominated, then Heavy Rain should have also been nominated, as it's story also looks good on paper but is actually quite a mess.
Or to put it another way, 999 had the best story of the year and it was robbed, especially when you consider that it's the only catagory it could have won.

Am I the only one that hates all of the choices for Best Story?? 
 
Out of those three Alan Wake is the only one that comes even close, but considering the miserable ending I still wouldn't have nominated it myself. 
 
Red Dead bored me so much I never finished it, and ME2...don't get me started.

Man are you into some good times! IMO the best platform this gen has not been PC or 360 but the DS. The phoenix wright games, advance wars games, Rune Factory 3, 999, Layton series, fire emblem, Golden Sun, Wario Ware DIY, Picross, Hotel Dusk, Zelda, New super mario bros, Castlevania, etc etc etc
 
Just so much variation and content regardless of your tastes and games that you can pick up and play in 5 mins to monster 60 hour rpgs. Amazing platform.

Fuck yeah Dave! STALKER COP was my favorite FPS or RPG I've played all year. By far the best in the series. But being in the middle of Metro 2033 right now, I could totally stand an open world version of that game too... hardware permitting.
 
Curious how STALKER 2 will turn out being a multiplatform game.

What?! Story-wise RDR was chosen OVER Mass Effect 2?! In my opinion, the timeline does more for the "feel" than the ACTUAL story. The story is fucking terrible. You're the lapdog for the gov and that just keeps dragging on like a dead horse.

No I didn't hear that and neither did you.  Actually RDR has been regarded as a pretty excellent game by numerous outlets as well as just about everybody on my friends list based off of what I saw them playing this year.  Bioshock 2 doesn't get the love you want it to, so I guess fans of other games all deserve your endless snark.

Hell, you could make the case that the DS is one of the most diverse platforms right now. It's certainly up there with some of the bigger consoles.

@EoinMason:   Inside Story is on my list of "to get soon".  I've been stocking up on RPGs, Layton games (awesome), and other types that  simply didn't exist on my PSP, like Super Scribblenauts.  For all the junk that seems to exist for the system, there certainly are some incredibly creative ideas out there.

Retailer specific bonus content is fine with me compared to limited time demos. There's no way to try NFS Hot Pursuit or BF Bad Company 2 without buying them now that the demos have expired. This is by far the worst idea in a long time.

The Illusive Man is a tightwad most of the time through the physical game.  You only see his partiabilityness in a bit of text in the latest DLC to come out for ME2.  That these guys would choose him on that basis alone seems in poor taste.  He'd probably act like a socialite yuppie asshole if you attended an actual party with him   Chuck Green on the other hand will make you a beer hat with duct tape.

I want to care about all this, but I don't. The closest I've come so far is for proponents of God of war 3, and thats a game I'll never play. Just the same, the QL and all showed some really nice visuals. 
 
I do want to get back to Call of Prypiat, and some other games, and have my own belated heated bunch of opinions and comments, probably during the summer when no one will know what the fuck my problem is..

" @EoinMason:   Inside Story is on my list of "to get soon".  I've been stocking up on RPGs, Layton games (awesome), and other types that  simply didn't exist on my PSP, like Super Scribblenauts.  For all the junk that seems to exist for the system, there certainly are some incredibly creative ideas out there. "
There's a tonne of that there, which is great. I'll throw in Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes (if you can find it over there) as a great example of RPG/Puzzle elements that works when it shouldn't.
 
I'd even say Time Hollow should be got (for a very very cheap price) for the awesome story it has involving time travel. Even though the controls are the definition of 'Plow through to get to the next bit of the story'. I finished that in about 7 hours...and I don't finish games fully very much. :P
