The Final Countdown
One man's opinion on the best games of this year
Honourable Mentions
Mass Effect 2 was a great a game, well written and such a step up from the last game. The only thing that bugged me was the damn mining aspect of the game, it drove me mental and I wanted to careen my ship into the centre of the sun out of protest for their archaic mining techniques. Surely they could have employed a giant magnet to suck it all up. Otherwise, a nearly flawless adrenaline fuelled tale of space marine bad-assery. Definite GOTY contender.
Bayonetta was another gem that went largely unnoticed in terms of sales, but then, it’s all about quality and not quantity. The game, while more stereotyped than a 70’s sitcom topped any previous game in the action game canon. I think the only problem is that it left a lot of people thinking, where do we go next with this?
Dishonourable Mention
Final Fantasy XIII. I had such high hopes for this, I wanted, neigh needed this to be great but through all my wishing and hoping I was disappointed. SquareEnix really dropped the ball in the FF franchise this year and need to start employing some specialist ‘ball catches’ to rectify this problem. To be honest they’ve dropped so many balls in their next gen endeavours that I feel like I’m at some tea-bagging enthusiasts meeting. It lacked the scope and feel of previous FF games and I think the only hope in the franchises future rests with Versus XIII.
Two Worlds. I paid twelve of my hard earned pounds on this monstrosity. Some people have said that you need to give it a chance and look past the awful graphics and hack dialogue and see what’s on the inside. I’m not that kind of guy, I’m superficial, I drive fast phallic-shaped cars and date a carousel of supermodels so I have no time for this wait and see attitude. God’s be damned it sucked so hard it nearly caused a vacuum after I inserted the disc and tried to suck me into its world of suckiness.
There it is then, the countdown. This is my opinion and it does not relflect the opinions of other New Game Network staff or the site as a whole. My opinion is to be taken as solid, stone cold in your face facts endorsed by an almighty power from up on high. If you have any queries please direct them to your hand. Merry Christmas.
