GiffTor’s Games of the Year 2011

2011 was a much better year for me than 2010. I learned how to use Twitter, I got to go to PAX, there were a crap-load of really great games and I met my future wife. (Author’s Note: that list was not arranged in any particular order of importance like the one below, for the record). I also learned that while some games can make phoenix-like returns to awesomeness after a decade, other games should just stay dead. I learned that [...]

JPizzle151′s Games of the Year 2011

I know a lot of people around here are stressing out about how to rank and file their games of the year. My selections have been fairly cut and dry for a while now. So I graciously present to you my top 5 games of 2011: 5. Crysis 2 – I may have never picked this game up if it wasn’t for the launch trailer. B.O.B.’s rendition of New York, New York sucked me in. It was the first time [...]

The 2011 Grimmys: Comeback of the Year

Down, but not out. Franchises, companies, and game genres all go through their ups and downs, but it was nice to see a few rise again. The Nominees Double Fine - After a rocky exit from Activision and a game that did not meet the hype surrounding it, Double Fine regrouped to release a handful of quality downloadble titles. Each was small, focused, and entertaining in its own right and served to reintroduce the Double Fine entertainment experience to new and [...]

The 2011 Grimmys: Story of the Year

We’ve reached a point where a video game can get by on story alone, regardless of any other features. That these stories happen to be interactive make them all that more interesting for gamers. The Nominees Bastion – The Kid wakes up and from the start is surrounded by destruction and unanswered questions. Constantly pushed forward to try and repair the Bastion piece by piece in hopes that the world can be saved. The Kid is faced with a truly [...]

The 2011 Grimmys: New Character of the Year

Getting attached to characters is a key ingredient to the long-term success of a franchise.  Whether they’re the protagonist, a side kick or mortal enemy is unimportant, these are the individuals that stood out amongst a title’s main players and are most worthy of becoming plush dolls. The Nominees Narrator (Stranger) (Bastion) – Playing video games is fun, but playing a game with a play-by-play voiced by a man with sensuality-fueled vocal chords takes it to a different level. While most narrators are resigned [...]

Gaming Connoisseur: Open World Diversity

Until recently, open world games had ironically gotten painted into a bit of a corner. The complete freedom of gameplay was limiting the games themselves. It seemed like the genre was going to give way to more linear and focused games that were easy to create year in and year out. However, game designers have risen to the challenge and with the initial sales success of games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and the announcement of a new entry [...]
