Skygreenleopard: This game is great! I wasn't sure the cover shooting system would work well in multiplayer but, if anything, it helps turn deathmatch into a movie-like experience. Close calls with snipers, ambushes, assaults, sneaking around, chaingunning madness, etc. Most times I play there are several moments that make me think, man, that was straight out of a good Indiana Jones-style movie.

S1ocki: I'm not convinced games should try and be like big Hollywood blockbuster movies or tell stories in the same way, but if they do, they should all be as good as Uncharted 2. But more than that, this game was just gorgeous to look at, with a really skillful use of color that wasn't extraneous to the gameplay itself but rather nudged it along in subtle ways.

Polyphonic: The longer I played this very impressive game, the more it wore out its welcome with me. But it clearly is the Dragon's Lair of this era: a visually impressive game that sometimes offers only the illusion of gameplay.

Way lower than I thought it would be, but I guess that's because it's PS3 exclusive?

Antexit: I doubt this will get many votes, but I’m giving it the points I didn’t give GTA4 last year. If there were a few more things to buy and a little more diversity in the fun shit you can do, the three games taken together would be pretty close to what I was hoping GTA4 would be-- let’s hope the next GTA is more like these two and less like their pretentious older brother. It's the best game starring a Jewish biker I've played this year.

JimD: Great concept, great format. And the fact it didn't force you to play too much of any one mini-game meant it really did feel like going over to a school friend's house to play a little bit of everything he owned that you didn't. For that, I loved it.

Forksclovetofu An absolute love letter to gamers who grew up in the mid-eighties. The attention to detail is superb and the insider jokes ('Dan Sock'! Engrish interstices in the faux games! The kid turning his nose up at you if you tell him you read the manual!) are evocative and spot on. It attempts to be a Madeline for Nintenerds and it succeeds spectacularly.

I guess that’s the point but then it’s not really clever-clever in the best way; it’s just kind of gross nostalgia. I’m such a hypocrite I know but this is vapid and worse than paying $100 for Ar Tonelico on the game as fetish-object scale.

uncharted and mw2 that low seems hilariously challopsy in the true vein of ilx polls. the mw2 thread seems to be the most active thread on the board, so someone is playing it.
the uncharted=dragon's lair thing is really false. uncharted has extremely well employed triggered events but that's not the same thing at all. a closer modern equivalent to dragon's lair is a rock band/ddr style game.
― aarrissi-a-roni, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
so glad uncharted didn't place higher.
― toastmodernist, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:05 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm almost exclusively a casual gamer that would rather through Frisbees at video game dogs rather than blow up aliens, but I played Uncharted 2 for a few hours the other day and it was pretty fun. I liked the sniper mode shooting parts the best, the jumping puzzles the least.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Jumping puzzles are the 2nd worst thing in games ever. FPS' that involve jumping are 1st.

uncharted has extremely well employed triggered events but that's not the same thing at all.
Dragon's Lair is like an entire game of triggered events! But yes, Uncharted also has some good gunplay parts and some (incredibly easy) puzzles.
― Your body is a spiderland (polyphonic), Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
i guess the difference is how you are able to respond to the triggered event, which in uncharted is usually a lot more open than, say, qtes (dragon's lair being the grandaddy of qte as a 'gameplay' tool). i tend to dislike triggered events because they are usually done so badly or lazily, but uncharted really makes them stitch in seamlessly. i have been very impressed, enough so that i think this aspect of the game is a huge plus instead of a potential flaw.
― aarrissi-a-roni, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:34 (fourteen years ago) link
They are incredibly well-implemented in the game. Uncharted was in my top 5, for what it's worth.
― Your body is a spiderland (polyphonic), Tuesday, 9 February 2010 21:37 (fourteen years ago) link
most surprising thing about Uncharted 2 finishing so low is that it didn't get any 1st place votes.

the croc level was fine for me; my main issue with Arkham was the MIND NUMBING REPETITION of voice over stuff. I knew I was frustratingly stuck on a level when I had to listen to joker or harley or gordon or thug #12 or a warden say the same shit 99BAZILLION times. They drastically underestimated either how many variants they needed or when the time was to cut off the talking. Having it go on forever sometimes made me have to play it on mute when hunting for riddles.

So I guess I'll give batman a second chance. I hated that demo so much though, I was REALLY BORED within five minutes. Clearly I missed something. Going to grab it again today and give it another go.
Forks, u hero. I'd like to buy you a pint! Paypal? :-)

Oh, and my votes were:
Plants vs Zombies - 5ptsFallout 3: Point Lookout - 5ptsBeatles Rock Band - 5ptsRetro Game Challenge - 5ptsTekken 6 - 10ptsBayonetta - 10pts1 vs 100 - 10ptsBattlefield 1943 - 10ptsShadow Complex - 10ptsRittai Picross - 30pts
Should've finessed my scoring a bit really, kinda nuts that I gave tekken 6 the same score as bayonetta.

(In other news, I fiddled around in some of the deeper menus of Rittai Picross last night, trying to get the text to turn english...and managed to delete my savegame and my 235 completed puzzles, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO). Will wait for the euro one before I restart, I think.
