Annnyywaaayyyy….
I am happy to announce my game of the year as…
Crysis
What?! That’s right – I’ve picked an FPS over one of my favorite games evar, Supreme Commander and other RTS heavy weights (C&C3 and World in Conflict). It even topped Portal and HL2: Episode 2…
Why?
It’s hard to explain. The narrative is great, the gameplay is fun – my favorite part was beating a level and then reading GameSpot’s guide. They usually suggested using the cloak feature and hiding while secretly doing things. I basically ran in, guns a-blazing. The game is open-ended. Linear is best used to describe the last 2 or so hours, but still – the first 10 or so are entirely up to you and your play style. It’s a nice change for the genre.
Also, there are aliens… AND Koreans. Both like to be killed.
So, anyway, try it out.
Runners-Up: Supreme Commander
Portal
