Yeah, it’s a weird list, but here’s my own personal top ten of 2011 that absolutely no one asked for!

There’s something about Killzone 2 that hasn’t quite been replicated in other games, not even Killzone 3. There are sheer moments of awe, one of which takes place in Suljeva Village.

Resistance 3 feels like Insomniac had something to prove. Maybe because Resistance 2 was such an awful sequel to the very good Resistance: Fall of Man that they had to redeem themselves. And redeem they did, mostly. Maybe they can put this franchise behind them now.

I’ve always felt like games are just too damn serious these days. Who is really going to get that emotionally invested to a character fighting a major corporation on Mars by using a sledgehammer, for crying out loud? *glares at Red Faction devs*

Many of you know I’ve been working at a coffee shop for the last year, paying off my debt and workin’, and making games mostly on the side. Well, in a few weeks that’s going to shift from part time coffee shop/ gaming hobby to part time game maker.

This weekend- and every weekend until the game’s release, in fact- I did nothing but code, code code.
