HebrewSanta: Best of 2010
Characters, voice work, gorgeous graphics, believable writing, and a twist that still has me thinking. This is what gaming should be. For capturing me, challenging me, and being more than I would have ever expected, this game gets my number one.
I hate JRPG's. So there. For this even to be on the list is a testament to how special it is. I also never play games over again. Unless they are less than 5 hours long (this game is not 5 hours long). Play this game.
Mesmerizing. Simple. And a great game to introduce to people who don't "understand" games.
Great writing that is also entangled into great gameplay should be rewarded. Alan Wake is game that does more right than most games before it. For a video game story it's incredible. Characters are well developed. Etc, etc. It is amazing. Pushing the limits of what video games can be.
After I beat the game I realized, this game just scratched an itch I didn't know I had. It kept me immersed and on edge by always having new controls and different consequences. This is a game that realized story-telling potential.
Reminding me that video games don't need to be bound by our preconceptions of what they should be. This game is a gem.
I don't usually play games for their multiplayer. But this game challenged me to learn a new skillset. I have put a lot of time in the game, and out of the game, just to be a better gamer. Soon to be diamond.
Easily the most expensive game I bought. For still being Halo in a Modern Warfare future. Emotional, well told narrative. I also want to note that I haven't been this excited about getting a game in a very long while. Good times.
It did things I didn't like. And I had a tough time getting into it. But by the end I was savoring every moment.
This is a placeholder, until I remember every game I played. I enjoyed this game. But not as much as every one else it seems. Things done right, things done poorly. It is still great, no matter what I say, but the year was very good, if this game can barely make it.
