Christopher Walken-Through: Mario
AllRightRamblers Best Videogame of 2011
3. Bastion - Great downloadable game you can find on Steam, XBox Live Arcade, or the PSN Network. It has a wonderful watercolor painted art style, tight controls, and the only game I know to have an active narrator continually commenting on your actions. It was quite a unique moment when I decided I was going to destroy every crate and barrel in the first tavern in search of extra money only to hear the Sam Elliot sounding narrator chime in “The Kid knew there was a mission at hand but he just had to blow off some steam and destroy everything in sight”
2. Portal 2 - This is what a sequel should be. Take everything that was great about the original and make it better. Portal was one of the funniest games I have ever played. Utilizing the talents of Steve Merchant and J.K. Simmons, this was a polished game experience.
1. The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim - Wow, what can I say about this game? The scale of this game is massive. The options available to the player are endless. You play the game you want. The music and sound design is epic. Having surround sound turned up hearing the wind swelling around you while you wonder through the snowy mountains, all of a sudden the orchestral music kicks in and before you know it a dragon is swooping down on you… it’s why I play videogames. I purchased this game on release day and ever since this was the only game I played. The only thing that got me to stop playing for the time being is my XBox account being hacked and Microsoft locking my account for 20 days while they do their investigation.
Anyways ARR Game of the Year goes to The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Other games that might have made the list had I had a chance to play them: Batman Arkham City and Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (which I started today)
So I don’t know much about this Saint’s Row game. I haven’t played any of the previous games and haven’t heard much about this new one. All I know is this is a picture of the collectors edition. It includes a headset that has autotune built in. Once this thing gets into the wild, Xbox Live is going to explode. It’s annoying enough listening to all the hate-speech spouted by 12 year olds on there now… just imagine it autotuned…
