LBP- Nice creative tools destroyed by unplayable platform physics. Gears of War- Pop and shoot repetitive gameplay with a broken multiplayer. Assassins Creed- Repetitive missions and boring combat. Not top five material at all. Mass Effect- Solid first game but with a sequel that strips out any semblance of RPG from it and gives us more pop and shoot gameplay with a meaningless plot. Uncharted- Good game. Pop and Shoot gameplay is broken up with fun platforming and excellent writing. However its very linear and without much replayability. Not top five quality.
Here's my top ten for clarification in no particular order (and yes I did vote) Blazblue- fantastic frenzied and fun battles with an awesome cast of characters and a deep meta game. Paid DLC charracters sucked though. Demon Souls- Old school difficulty and with far more custimization and strategies than so called RPGs like Mass effect. Also an amazing and innovative online system. STALKER- Tons of content and amazing mods with a immersive world where things actually happen that aren't scripted events. This is the game fallout 3 should have been. The witcher- The game that dragon age should have been, really well written and fantastic gameplay with a ton to do. I haven't gotten into two yet but I can only imagine its one of the best games of the gen. Dawn of War- Took away starcrafts rts crown this gen. Squad based tactics are sweet and the Warhammer 40K world is perfectly represented. I still need to get retribution. Portal- The perfect puzzler with amazing writing. 2 does everything bigger and better. Only issue is length. Killing floor- the Perfect mix of co-op and competition and with its class based system and ranks it completely blow L4D out of the water. Dead Space- A fantastic first game to a series that could be the next resident evil. A lackluster and actionized sequel has me wary but I still have a lot of hope for this franchise. Patapon- A cool mix of rythym games and strategy games and a perfect fit for handhelds. Easily one of the most unique games of the gen and one of the psps strongest titles. Valkryia Chronicles- Brings action and excitement into the sometimes boring realm of strategy games. Also great art design and the roster is filled with a bunch of babes drawn by Raita himself. Honorable mentions- Infamoose |
I can't disagree with you more. Here's my review of the games your talking about.
LBP- Great creativity, amazing story and neat MP. Easily one of the best platformers this gen. But it can get boring fast. Despite all the stuff to do.
Gears of War: Bloody, Great story, innovative and the MP was okay not that great though. One of the best Co-op modes though. One of the Best TPS.
AC: Great concept, amazing new gameplay unlike most other games, and intreesting MP. But the missions sometimes do get repetitive.
Mass Effect: Fun gameplay different from most RPG games. But meaningless stories and characters gets boring easily.
Uncharted: Great gameplay, graphics, multiplayer, single player was pure epic. Different from most game stories which happen as of today (mostly about armies now days). The best New IP this gen.
My top 5 new IP's would be
Uncharted
Gears of War
Resistance (One of the best MP games this gen and amazing single player. It'll take you a long time to get off this)
Assassins Creed
Left 4 dead: Great Co-op amazing MP and story is appealing. Gory as hell though.
