    Uncharted 2: It was brilliant. Excellent single player. Deep multi-player, both co-op and competitive. The game brought the whole package and excelled in every department.

    Flower - a game that made motion control seem worthwhile. Pretty much alone in that category for now!

    Assassin's Creed II - impressive for addressing all of the flaws of the original, creating a wonderful world with a lot of variety both in terms of locations and tasks.

    Torchlight - old genre maybe but done absolutely perfect and designed throughout extremely well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    +1 for Torchlight - the immaculate design proved that there's absolutely nothing stale about dungeon crawlers if they're done right.
