Wonderputt is kinda the golf version of that guy who made all those little browser based evolve RPG toys. very pretty and cool looking, but not really much of a game (and now that i mention that guy, i realize that i don't remember his name or any of his games' names and can't find him in google)

yeah those grow games held my attention briefly too but they seemed like mostly just trawling thru trial and error

really striking visuals tho iirc

I couldn't deal with Wonderputt at all. It's beautiful, but I couldn't get anywhere with it.

The Eyemaze Grow series contains some of my favourite web games ever. But yeah, I get that they're not really 'game' games. I suppose the thing I like the most is that failure is often just as awesome as success.

I almost voted for Kingdom Rush, but to be honest, I found it more annoying than a lot of TD games - if I get stuck I do like to be able to improve through grinding in that sort of game. Puzzle-based stuff I don't mind agonising over but anything aside from that I do like to be able to force my way through if I have to.

holy crap ok maybe we're moving a little too fast now. the space between entries was to give us some room to talk, ya know...

honestly i'm kind of i'm the only one who voted for MK! along with Portal 2 it was the major AAA release in the early half of the year. if you have ANY fond memories of MK 1-3 you gotta play it, it's just ridiculous stupid fun in the single player modes, and the multiplayer is better than all the old MK games (not saying a lot there i know but still)

i mean, is there any other fighting game that unifies every single character into one coherent story mode, forcing you to play as everyone through the same plot? and they don't even cheat by making you replay events, the story keeps moving on as you move from chapter to chapter. yes, it is the dumbest story ever, but i'm still in awe of how hard tried with it (I heard MK vs DC might've done this but i didn't play enough of it to see
)

Scribblenauts: neat, worth a buck i'd say

Zen Pinball: i'm totally obsessed with this on xbox now, and the iOS version controls surprisingly well

second paragraph: kind of surprised

Yikes, sorry! Yeah, agreed it was a little fast today, but I wanted to move us forward in the results since I had been slow recently. Once we get into the top results, I'll definitely slow it down a bit (while trying to remain consistent in the rollout).

This is good. All good.

it's cool man! i'm happy you're back yo

trying to remember how many of my awesome choices i have left - spoiler: if i had played it before C&P voting i would have had rage in my top 5 for sure, but i have the feeling it might not place. DONT ANSWER THAT, i hope i am wrong, but if im not, its really worth a shot, dudes that kept saying that it is a short game are doing it wrong, because i am 15 hours in and havent even gotten to the second major settlement yet. and oh shit does it look O_Omazing.

see now if it does place you can farm this quote

So many games I have never heard of! <3 this

salsa shark, Thursday, 15 March 2012 10:24 (twelve years ago) link

i voted for wonderputt! totally playable and fun imo. i want a sequel immediately.

40oz of tears (Jordan), Thursday, 15 March 2012 13:52 (twelve years ago) link

i would have voted for ico/shadow of the colossus if i had a ps3. i'd love to play sotc again, and i've still never played ico.

40oz of tears (Jordan), Thursday, 15 March 2012 14:44 (twelve years ago) link

I got ico/shadow of the colossus at xmas time. I've only played a small bit of shadow of the colossus and it's certainly beautiful but I have definitely had issues with the camera that make the game more frustrating than it needs to be.

treefell, Thursday, 15 March 2012 14:58 (twelve years ago) link

i didn't mind it the first time around (on ps2), but maybe i've been ruined by decent game UI by now

40oz of tears (Jordan), Thursday, 15 March 2012 15:26 (twelve years ago) link

this reminds me of my reaction to the beyond good and evil 360 port - super excited until i spent a bunch of time staring at walls or getting nauseous as the turn ratio ratcheted out of sync.

Thu'um gang (jjjusten), Thursday, 15 March 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago) link

i couldn't hang with that one either

40oz of tears (Jordan), Thursday, 15 March 2012 15:40 (twelve years ago) link

yeh i was a bit disappointed when i replayed SOTC over xmas
the clunkiness of the controls didn't help, but i think the main problem was that the game is at heart a puzzle platformer, and once you know how to do the puzzle part the rest of it becomes kind of rote - there was only one colossus i didn't immediately remember how to beat :/
