Sidelines Game of the Yearies

Baldur Gate's successor becomes a reality in Origins, a nostalgic return to a classic and definitive role-playing experience. Bioware had make something that other role-playing games didn't, innovation and creating a new concept towards the attitude of this genre. The storyline comprises of six origins stories, making a unique difference to each race and class you chose, and characters in the game acknowledges you for that decision. The voice cast, soundtrack, gameplay, graphical detail and story makes up for how this game is 2010's 2009 Choice Game and it completely shows.

360 release - Special Edition. Playing this for the first time is quite a treat. The comedic dialogue, colourful characters as well as puzzle-solving has never lose its edge and it's a blast as ever. Also the fact that every character in the game is fully voiced, updated graphics, a feature where you could swap from the new version to the original and a hint system makes it's even more worth playing. I enjoyed much of The Secret to Monkey Island and wished that I've fully gotten the S Rank but due to being new with these games.. I wasn't able to. :(

Fked Black Ops, I purely enjoyed much of Modern Warfare 2 than that game. Granted moments of that game is great and you can't disagree on Gary Oldman and Ed Harris but maybe Sam Worrington. Anyways, this game's storyline features Russian invading US.. this is it.. I really wanted a game that could fully do that.. Freedom Fighters did that yes but being able to walk out of the trench and see the White House or flying over such monuments in DC or shooting yourself through a Burger King and then a residential area is definitely a insane experience for me. I haven't even touched the Prestige Mode, avoiding it and continuously playing the single-player mode and the highlights of what made this game awesome!

Like any other Sims, I played a ton of it trying to build a model house with all sorts of Sim(s), either it's a lesbian couple or a perfect family. The main disappointment is that Sims 2 has some features and things that I ready enjoyed and I wanted to have a hot tub or a piano in my house..

Even though I only watched Hamster's Let's Play in it's entirely, I was still feeling the atmosphere and the intense and thrilling experience of him hiding from monsters and the atmosphere in that game proves to be quite a haunting one. From a unknown developer to me, I might say this is quite a horror game that doesn't utilize the use of weaponry and takes the conventions of old-school horror games and the useful physics engine and mixes it into a hell of a game.

Being in the most disappointing category of this year with everything I said about it's jankyness. Deadly Premonition features not only a insane storyline but a insane atmosphere that feels like David Lynch's wet dream. I mean, seriously when Zack/Francis Morgan go to the otherworld, it feels Silent Hill-like but when you mix these two worlds together like having the town of Greenvale in the fked up world as you high-tail your ass around the town by running in the street whilst avoiding those freaks and following a girl with a red dress goes into being a psychological experience for me even though I watched the two Endurance Runs. Though even the real Greenvale spooks the hell out of me because of it being so wide and the way that people drive in the town. Also the fact that it's like Se7en with it having a psychopath torturing and killing a victim in the scariest way possible and having to find that the psychopath was next to you the whole time...

Like Amnesia, I decided to watch a series of walkthroughs of this game and was sucked into the atmosphere like that game. The game plays pretty much like STALKER with it's post-apocalyptic world, atmosphere, mutated creatures, first-person and being set in the Motherland. And like STALKER, the horror aspects also plays on you like a broken toy.

Man.. I'm on the roll with Russian-themed games or games set in Russia. Like Metro 2033, of having creepy creatures/enemies and a twist plot - this game has a case of being dark with the places you go to and the fact that it plays into Bioshock's arsenal and tone.

Undead Nightmares DLC. While it plays as a parody to zombie survival horror games, the zombies just felt scary and it's like 28 Days Later of not being slow-ass zombies. Also that the ammo is sparse in the game resulting John to use the torch/maybe lasso often in my playthrough. I didn't enjoy the main game but this DLC is alright.
