The Year That Was

TheSlyMoogle, how is it that the game you most regret not playing, Torchlight, is also your most surprising game? Pretty sure you'd have to play it to be surprised by its quality, dude.

I've watched a ton of videos for the game, and I've been following it since I heard about it. Then it came out and it really was basically a revamped diablo and was still a good looking game. I was surprised and impressed when no one had anything negative to say, except that they were addicted.

Battlefield 1943

Firing up NSMBW in co-op, such an awesome experience.

What was your Game of the Year?
Only one? Here's five.
1. Uncharted 2. Completely varied gameplays and locales.
2. Madworld slightly behind that for it's awesomeness of commentary (by Greg Proops and John DiMaggio) and its super fun gameplay.
3. Demon's Souls. Best western-inspired JRPG ever.
4. Probably MW:2 behind that. Solid experience, and it's great to see some gentlemanly competition between Infinity Ward and Naughty Dog.
5. Infamous. Open-world super-hero done right.

What was one game you regretted not having played yet?
Finally got a PC so I could play Fallout 3 GOTY edition. Only game I haven't played this year is Dragon Age. I'll probably get it cheap soon.

What was your downloadable game of the year?
Secret of Monkey Island remake

Biggest disappointment of the year?
Street Fighter 4. Terrible game, horrible interface, boring online.
Runnerup: Resident Evil 5. We waited HOW long for that? RE4 on the Wii was the best game ever and they trashed it. Coop was fun though.

Most surprising game?
Tie. New Super Mario Bros and Batman: Arkham Asylum. Free for all in Mario is probably my favourite birthday activity ever.

And favorite moment?
Madworld in general. Such an awesome game, and it never gets stale.
Video Capture for Need for Speed: Shift was an awesome job, too, because the game was fun. I still play my copy now.
