What a well made disappointmentnof a game. At its core this is still a great Bungie shooter with beautiful art direction. Too bad its systems hem you in, its worlds feel small and its story is nonsensical. Here's hoping Bungie pull off an Assassin's Creed 2 with the sequel and realise the potential for something special.

for its sophomore effort Supergiant came up with a world More beautiful and memorable than that of Bastion. The battle mechanics were also thoroughly engaging. Here's to many more worlds from Supergiant!

the year's biggest surprise. Basically a text adventure based on a fanciful retelling of a Jules Verne novel? Though of course that really is the perfect formula for a thrilling adventure spanning the globe.
