Your going to tell me Riddick felt like any other FPS you have ever played? It didnt do any one thing that was completely original, but the combination of its elements and the polish of them has never been done before, and the sum of its parts was a gameplay expirience that was completely original.

Maybe from an idea point of view...
Breakdown had some pretty serious issues. :\ Damn shame, though, as there was some serious potential. I still really enjoyed the game, though, and the 30 minutes of the game were some of the most surreal stuff I've seen.
I'm gonna shoot you in the face!
Seriously, though, I'd say Ninja Gaiden was actually my suprise of the year. I absolutely adore the game, but I never expected to. I really was completely uninterested up until release. The high marks convinced me to try it...and boy am I glad I did.

Ninja Gaiden was one of the best games I have ever played. I was waiting for that game for years so it wasnt as much of a surprise for me. But I loved every minute of that game. Just the big guns came out at the last minute to steal its glory. Much like great movies that come out right after the Oscars.
I didn't think Riddick was hyper-polished either, I guess (and I agree it's better than Breakdown, which is flawed in execution)... I don't want to sound like a hater or anything, because I think it's a solid piece of work, but it's truly bizarre to me that people think it's a better game than Ninja Gaiden.

Dual Wielding is innovative, look when James Bond grabbed to weapons back in 1997
Dude, the category is 'Original Game mechanic', if you can't come up with an 'Original Game Mechanic' then the game doesn't deserve to be in the 'Original Game Mechanic' category due to the lack of Original freaking game mechanics. And no you can't say the whole game is an original game mechanic. Because that would be insane.StoOgE said:

Yeah cause hey, light bloom is so fucking fantastic. Fuck WoW.
Halo 2 allows individual control of two unique weapons. I don't believe GE offers that.
Honestly, though, it has actually been quite a while since I've played GE...so if you don't mind, could you refresh my memory on whether or not you can use two different weapons? I'm pretty positive that you cannot fire them individually, but I can't recall if it is possible to pick up and use two different firearms...
Strategy IS a big part of the feature, though. If you were simply using two of the same weapon as if it were one weapon...it really doesn't change things a whole lot. However, the dual weapon function in Halo 2 has many very strategic uses. A simple example would be a charge pistol and a magnum. One blast from the charge shot will take out an entire shield and carefully placed shots to the head with the magnum will kill the opponent almost instantly.
you can't compare a mmorpg to a game like echoes purely on a room by room basis. you really have to take into account the world's scope + the sheer variety in locations + the wonderful texture work. i didn't really think too much of WoW until i bought the game. there's just something about seeing it all in motion. especially the gryphon rides.olimario said:

Actually Marathon 2 had dual wielding... including dual shotguns utilizing a reloading mechanism too complex for us to understand. It came out around the same time as Rise of the Triad. But yes it was similar to GE in how both weapons fired at the same time.
