Chrisv2010: Black Ops has toned down the sniping to the point that there are no more of those quick scoping shitheads. A sniper rifle needs to be used like a sniper rifle.

Antexit: I feel like I get more or less the same sort of concentrated pleasure from the new pac-man game as from this game. the amount of playtime it would take to get up to 15x prestige you could probably work at mcdonald's and save enough to buy gold-plated guns irl...

I feel this, yeah. After I sent my ballot in I realised I should've maybe scaled down my total points relative the number of things I actually voted for. My number one choice def deserves its 5-point inflation though.

Mitch Krpata: Fitness games are one thing, but you'll break a sweat without complaining in Dance Central.
http://image.gamespotcdn.net/gamespot/images/2010/228/reviews/997631_08172010_640screen007.jpg
Polyphonic: It's very easy to humiliate yourself playing this, and the track list sometimes leaves a bit to be desired, but this is a very well-made Kinect game that is a blast to play or to watch. This is the ultimate girlfriend game for a large segment of girlfriends.

Dance Central would almost be enough to persuade me to get Kinect, if it wasn't for the fact that my flat is way too tiny for it to work properly.
― if, Thursday, 5 May 2011 18:50 (twelve years ago) link
It lives! Thanks forks and thanks polyphonic!
I really wanted to like Chime but it feels kinda clunky to me. But I've been playing it on my laptop, which is not a gaming machine at all and doesn't have a real mouse, so maybe that's why. I liked the music though, and since I got it for like £2 in some Steam sale or other it was still worth the price.

#61: Alan Wake – 360 – 19 pts – 2 votesOfficial Game Site
http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/alan-wake.jpg
Craig G: This game genuinely spooked me and got me panicky in places when fighting/running for survival. The narration really reminded me of Max Payne, which I loved back in the day. I didn't finish the game, but I really want to, just to get the rest of the story (though I think I heard it ends on a cliffhanger). The episodic layout of the game had an almost certainly deliberate Twin Peaks feel to it, and also fits quite nicely with my short attention span.
http://mktplassets.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/5DDA154F-EDCB-4D43-9A6F-1D3EF6C43672/0/simAlanWake00.jpg
GM: the visuals are not a problem at all. kinda digging it so far, despite similarities to failures like Heavy Rain and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSB4QcQMm6E
Cozen: the visual style reminds me more of the 2005 remake of the fog
http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01417/alanwake2_1417057c.jpg
bnw: some good ideas behind this game but plagued with an unlikable main character who never shuts up ... I think its biggest issue is that its just not freaky/weird enough especially in comparison to SH. it tries for this psychological thriller level but isn't smart enough to move it past cliches.

jjjusten: not one scare in the whole thing, ultra repetetive gameplay to the point of huge frustration, garbage script, super boring visually, makes the color palatte in FO3 look like a rainbow brite episode, pointless driving sections, terrible characters, and for bonus points direct ripoffs of other games and the most noxious product placement ive ever seen (not in quantity, but in the way its done). god i hated this game.
