[Question] The Gamingforce Game of the Year 2010: Vote a Go Go

This was my favorite game this year by a long shot. Skip past the VERY EASY jokes and this game proved itself to be an over-the-top, ridiculously-fun and sexy romp in a land of hedonistic, angel-slaying violence. Bayonetta a hot spark plug with a sword, a whip and wit to spare and stands front and center in front of a beautiful package with silky-smooth graphics, superbly responsive controls, a classy music soundtrack and the single greatest handful of boss fights of ANY game this year. In fact, what the fuck am I doing here? I should be playing it again and trying to beat the game again because even my girlfriend likes this game and she saved over my original save. I'm gonna go play it on VERY EASY now.

It's really quite impressive that the two best games this year were put out within months of each other by the same studio and, yeah, here we are at the end of the year with Platinum Games punching out another shit-your-pants awesome action game that was just as over-the-top and fun as its sexy contemporary above. The sometimes-cheesy dialogue was my only minor gripe in a game that is otherwise chock-full of futuristic look with the crisp graphics to match it, smooth controls and the intense gargantuan bosses was just balls-to-the-wall fun and the fact that neither of these titles sold that well makes me weep for the species.

I had never played the original Championship Edition so, when I played the demo for this and saw that it was basically PAC-MAN with hyper-speed and bullet time I was hooked. This was an amazing, challenging and fun game with a spine-winding dope techno soundtrack and should be on everyone's list.

I get that it's basically last year's game repackaged but this is a package that added so much more content to an already-rock-solid fighter and one that I have spent countless hour playing against my friends and with my students online. New characters, new online gaming modes and new ultra combos for every character Just the joy of having a handful of people all gritting their teeth over watching a battle between two worthy adversaries, whether at our house during summer gaming nights with barbecue, with my students after school or online with some of GFF's best fighters, was worth the $40 price tag.

This game was kind of an enigma to me but, the more I played it, the more I wanted to find out about the "boy" and, even though, this game was meant to be a bleak scuffle through a soulless land of monochromatic grimness, this game had more soul than dozens of other like-minded platformers. About the only game that even comes close to this is Braid.


Honorable mentions:
Bioshock 2, Halo Reach, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Video Game, Chime, Infinity Blade, Angry Birds.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
