-
The gaming equivalent of am award-winning foreign film. From the story itself and how it's presented to the way the game plays the game is a true gem, it's sad that it didn't really achieve a measure of financial success but the fact that it became an underground hit is just as good. This game is an example of the argument of video games as an art form.
-
The evolution of the action-rpg, everything from a engaging interactive story to the myriad of way you can affect it...everyone must at least give it look.
-
one of the rare examples of how well a Comic Book game can be when there is a genuine collaboration between team behind the comic and the team creating the game.
-
From the Disney-esque art style to the unique control scheme, this game must be played. Mark of Kri is a fine example of Untapped Potential, a testament to the places and cultures that are still left to explore in Gaming.
-
A true Stealth Game in nearly every sense of the word from the setting to the genre of warrior used as the main character(s) Wrath of Heaven played of both the conceptions and Misconceptions that most people have about ninja; shadow assassins and demon fighters, mercenaries and original school secret agents. Above all else the most important thing about Wrath of Heaven, the game is just plain fun.
-
Much like Mark of Kri this sports the most imaginative visuals ever seen in gaming. It also continues to re-enforce that great story telling can still be told through cutscenes. This game, and it's predecessor, is ripe for a remake.
-
The essence of pick up and play, anyone can pick this game up and play it and have a blast with it. The game also doubles as a unused Driving School tools, playing the game in first person has the effect of showing how bad an accident can get.
-
Hardcore wrestling fanboys' dream. Every wrestler that nearly ever existed in one game, granted they aren't listed by their names but still. FirePro also shows how hardcore-ness comes at a price: the learning curve on this is monumentally high, I put it on the list for the mere fact that everyone should at least expose themselves to how hard an actual wrestling gamenay..sports game can get.
-
Not only a great licensed games but also a fine example that is possible to put just about everything including the kitchen sink into a game and it still be playable. EON gets extra points for being a Bond Game that is not linked to any movie.
-
Just as Mark of Kri and the Rise of the Kasai were great pieces of gaming that showed that cutscenes are a great story telling tool, Half Life just as well shows the other side of the coin. There are no cutscenes in this, I repeat, there are no cutscenes in this and it is the definition of immersion.
