Game of the Year?

My Game of (last) Year: Dragon Age Origins
[I realize this came out last year, but this is the game that dominated my gaming experience in 2010] Awarding something ‘Game of the Year’ can be done under a number of different criteria, but one that works for me

Interruption!
Game characters are terrible conversationalists. I came to this conclusion after the last three games I’ve played: Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2 and Metroid: Other M. First, we have Fallout 3‘s Lone Wanderer of the Capital Wasteland. This is a

Catherine has gameplay!
The internet is a funny place. Andriasang has reported that there is in fact gameplay in Catherine, and everyone there seems to be pretty okay about it. The rest of the internet, though, seems to be taking this as some

Rampant Dragon Age Skepticism
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRAUKN3_tJA&fs=1&hl=en_US] Someone could call me a Dragon Age 2 skeptic. I was a pretty big fan of the first Dragon Age (though nothing compared to either of my fellow DA:O fanatics, Patricia and Graham), but I’m not a massive Bioware

Alan Wake Writer Blames Ludonarrative Dissonance on Game Expectations
Ah, ludonarrative dissonance: we’re all familiar with it. It’s the disconnect between the narrative and ‘play’ aspects of a game. Think, for example, how Nathan Drake is characterized as a likeable good guy and yet we spend all game killing

Mass Effect 3, By The Numbers
In light of recent discussion regarding metrics fetishism, I’ve tried to parse Destructoid’s newly revealed Mass Effect 2 statistics with some perspective. We all know these numbers aren’t just random trivia: they will be part of the basis for changes
