Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Mass Effect 2

1. Mass Effect 2

The continued support of its DLC and the rich universe Mass Effect 2 expands on made this a no-brainer for it to be my GOTY.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

2. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Two things Blizzard does right here, 1.create an easy-to-approach game for newcomers whilst having extreme layers of depth & 2.get you excited for sequels. Although the multiplayer is a zone I'd rather not attempt to tread in, the single player alone stood out as an experience I want more of.

Bayonetta

3. Bayonetta

All sorts of crazy, rewarding in all moments of gameplay via game mechanics and reaction time. The self-awareness and what-the-fuck Japanese crap layered on top is the reason I treasure this game so high on this list.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

4. Super Mario Galaxy 2

More of the same, which is just what everyone wanted.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

5. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

A multiplayer experience very reminiscent of the original Battlefield games, my only hope is that complexity is explored in Battlefield 3 and the player count raised.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

6. Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

An RPG-ass RPG, no other RPG this year really made me sink so many hours in to it.

Darksiders

7. Darksiders

Zelda with a heavy Comic book vibe? HEY I LIKE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THIS

Red Dead Redemption

8. Red Dead Redemption

Outstanding landscapes with great character design, I was totally engrosed in Rockstar's Western universe up until they swapped my character out at the end for some annoying gobshite.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

9. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

Hey, I still like World of Warcraft. Not as much as I use to, but enough to reach max level and get my Azeroth-got-merced experience.

Rock Band 3

10. Rock Band 3

A final hurrah for plastic instruments? A setlist lacking to its new instrument(the keyboard), I found most of my time being spent on my previous Rock Band Library.
