Just a little note; Check out the last Award, MOST FRUSTRATING DELAYS. What is missing?
—— BEST GAME: “BioShock.” A first-person shooter turned morality play, a thinking person’s action game, a piece of electronic fiction with a soul. There are many positive ways to describe this gripping game and they’re all true. There’s just nothing else like this eerie vision of an undersea social experiment gone horribly wrong. Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows PC, $59.99, Rated M.
—— BEST DEAL: The Orange Box. For $59.99, the innovators at Valve Corp. have provided one of the best bargains in 2007. You get five games, and all of them are excellent. “Portal,” in particular, seems destined for legendary status, having spawned a cottage industry for plush companion cubes. (If you don’t know what that means, you’re really missing out). Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows PC, $59.99, Rated T through M.
—— BEST GAME THAT INVOLVES GETTING OFF THE SOFA: “Rock Band.” Close the windows, lock the doors and warn the neighbors before you blare the volume. “Rock Band” elevates music rhythm games to arena-filling levels in a game that gets better the more people there are. For a true rocking experience you’ll at least need two guitars — lead and bass — plus a drummer and a singer to belt out the dozens of tunes. Groupies are optional.
—— WORST TREND: The annual holiday video game deluge. Please, video game makers, you’re only hurting your most loyal fans here. We spend all year with hardly anything new to play, then October rolls around and it’s like an avalanche. Suddenly, we’re faced with tough decisions about which of the dozens of good games we can actually afford to buy. Why not release more of these gems in the winter, spring or summer doldrums, when we’re really looking for — and more able to afford — something new?
—— MOST TIRING CONTROVERSY. “Manhunt 2.” OK people, it seems pretty obvious that “Manhunt 2” is not a game for the kiddies. So why all the uproar? Ratings issues aside, if a game that lets you perform execution moves is a turnoff, change the channel. Parents have a tough job keeping content like this away from their children, but it’s ultimately part of the responsibility. And this game is no more graphic than any number of R-rated movies I’ve seen — except they aren’t being altered to appeal to industry ratings groups.
It’s sci-fi/fantasy week on the Virtual Console™, and you know what that means. The Cybernators are deadly, the aliens are ruthless and the monsters are…cute. It’s a collection of three …
