i think both little big planet game of the year and fallout 3 game of the year should be mentioned because of the extra content and lower prices. especially for ps3 owners
very sad to see such a low review score. as a kid around 7 years old this was one of my favorite games to play. my friend would come over and we'd play for hours until we finally beat the game. in fact just today i downloaded an snes emulater and played through the game and i still find it very enjoyable
personally i thought that the biggest facepalm in half life 2 was when gordon is almost to the lab to destroy everything and then decides to get in a restraining device instead
it's almost impossible for the second to live up to everything the first one did so well. that's why people shouldn't concentrate as much on comparring it to the first one and just accept it for the things it does right.
unfortunately it looks as if it might take the same path as resi 5 and become more of an action based game. but as long as it doesn't get made on the wii, it can't be too bad.
i've liked almost every final fantasy that's come out, but 7 was actually one of my least favorites. i think number one should have gone to 6 because of the most compelling storyline and realistic characters
