Best Games of the Year 2009: Steve’s List

pv09

With the curtain closing on one hell of a banner year in gaming, here’s yet another “best of” list to whet your appetite. I had a hard time whittling this list down to even ten titles, let alone the proposed five that everyone else has agreed upon. Obviously one of us is more hardcore than the rest. There are 5 extras to fill the 6 to 10 slots, and there’d be a list of about 12 honorable mentions that I had a blast messing with. I’ll also say that, much like Erich, my list is probably considerably different from everyone else’s, but that’s more because I march to the beat of my own drum. Leave some feedback if you want to tell me how insane I am. Check it out after le break.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 40: Turkey Day

turkey_day_bp

Erich, Steve, Jon, and Dave gather around the seasonally decorated table to celebrate (U.S.) Thanksgiving with a discussion of gaming “turkeys.” Among the bounty of stinkitude: Devil May Cry 2, the reboot of Shinobi, Hard Drivin’, Outlander, StarTropics, and hated levels from otherwise loved games like Uncharted 2, Ninja Gaiden Black, Gears of War, and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 37: I’d Rather Be Vault Hunting

vault_bp

Erich, Dave, and Tim tear themselves away from a certain game. On the way to a mega-discussion about said secret game, the boys tackle the other titles they’ve been playing, including Dead Space: Extraction, World of Goo, and Uncharted 2. Following up on last week’s Halloween podcast, Dave and Tim trade picks, giving their respective takes on Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space. This week’s Symposium Ad Nauseum asks the hard-hitting question, “what counts as a vehicle?”

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 35: The Big Canadian Brawl-a-palooza!

episode35

Join Pixel Verdict’s Canadian contingency as they waste about an hour of your time. Jon’s been playing Brutal Legend, and throws the gauntlet down for one Tim Schafer of Doublefine Studios (Dear Tim, Jon’s coming, and Hell’s comin’ with him). Adam has been spending quality time with his wife and Rock Band. Steve’s wife, meanwhile, is cheating on him with his copy of Brutal Legend, so Steve drowns his loneliness with Demon’s Souls, and the amazing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Borderlands. The boys discuss the news of the week (or lack thereof) with their typically Canadian lack of zeal, including Steve’s dissatisfaction with Natal support for Fable II and Fable III; Grand Theft Auto thrusting beyond the borders of good taste (yet again); a new game from the Timeshift guys; and Street Fighter IV‘s Seth gets tougher (read: cheaper). Adam waxes philosophical about a particular 90′s cinematic masterpiece featuring a pre-Party of Five Scott Wolfe and short shorts-wearin’ Alyssa Milano. You’ll have to listen to find out what it is. It all ends in a climactic discussion about brawlers good and bad.

To reiterate: TIM SCHAFER! Jon Mercer (PSN ID: Kidinthehelmet) WANTS YOUR BLOOD! Meet him on the virtual battlefield of Brutal Legend if you DARE!

Bonus: listen carefully for Mrs. Adam’s brief cameo…

Review: Uncharted 2 — Among Thieves (Single-Player) (PS3)

u2cover

The Charge:

“Aw crap.”

Opening Statement:

Back in the early days of my PS3 ownership, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was the first game I played.  It immediately shot to the top 3 of my favorite-for-this-gen list of games.  I had never before seen such a masterful approach to cinematic gaming; the folks at Naughty Dog has crafted the finest game/movie hybrid effort ever, mixing quality gameplay with an engrossing story and memorable characters.

Needless to say, since the announcement of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, I have been gripped in a churning excitement, restless with the anticipation of what delights Naughty Dog has cooked up this go-round. Click the jump for the review.

Is the PS3 Slim a New Console Launch? And Will it Matter?

ps300

We batted around this question a bit on the podcast, and I think I’ll side with the consensus–the upcoming PS3 re-design does in fact feel like a new launch.  The console looks dramatically different, the crap Spider-Man font has been ditched for a cleaner logo and its unveiling to the public will tie in very closely to Sony’s monster title of the year, Uncharted: Among Thieves.
