I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
I know that Im posting this slightly late, but Ive not had much time to use GAF lately.
the gaming industry is becoming very impressive now. Every year there is a constant supply of good quality games and 2005 was no exception. Over the last year there have been many great titles that i have invested a lot of time into.
the highlight of the year came quite late for me, but it was without a doubt Shadow of the Colossus. I was very weary of this game at first because it seemed that all the people that liked Ico like this. Im going to upset many people here but I thought that ico was shit. there was one good plot twist, infact it was a very good and moving plot twist, but other than that the game just felt very average. When I began playing SotC I thought it was going to be sort of the same thing, but I was very wrong. The last game that impressed me as much as SotC was metal Gear Solid 3. This game had everything in it. Amazing graphics, superb animation and a very original yet fantastic gameplay. It was really a gamr that made me get up on my feet because of exitement and panic.
Another great highlight was Splinter cell: Chaos Theory. I had played the previous Splinter cell games and found them alright, but I just felt that everything moved to slowly, not just the pace of the game but the camera was slow and sam moved very slowly too. They corrected that in Splinter cell 3 and for me it drastically improved the game. Splinter cells greatest merits was its realism, from shadows to equipment to the story, it felt a little like 24 but in a game, the only problem was the slow camera, if they could just change that then splinter cell could become one of the greatest games this gen. That was fixed in the Splinter cell 3 and for me it was not just one of the best games of this year but this generation too.
Im not too sure if Digital Devil Saga 1 came out this year, but i know that 2 did. I actually pleyd both of them this generation. i had no games in the summer and I thought that I might try and be a little adventurous when buying a game. im usually very picky when it comes to rpg's, usually I just stick with Final fantasy, but DDS looked interesting and I decided to pick it up. It was certainly a great buy. DDS1 was stunning. Graphics and music were excellent and the story was genius. It was good to see the game have a very opriginal story and one full of surprises. DDS2 was just as good as the original, keeping up the high standards that the first one set.
I feel that 2005 could have been much better if I decided to buy Resident Evil 4. I still have not played that yet, but I hope to do so as soon as I do my exam next week.
There were plenty of other games this year that were great, but those are the ones that really stick out when I think of 2005.
So GAF, what games really stood out for you in 2005 and do you think that 2006 can produce the same quality of games that we saw last year?
