Alright everyone, I figured that since I'll be heading out on vacation in less than a week and won't be back until the new year I better do these a bit early. So, basically the Jamester awards are when I decide my favorite games based on storyline, genre, ect. So lets get started.
Best Storyline Award: Mafia 2
So, there are a number of games that had fantastic storylines this year, but Mafia 2 definitely takes the cake. In the crime filled city of empire bay there's nothing better than pulling out my 1911 and robbing a gun shop. This game was made for it's storyline, no multiplayer, no free roam. Just straight forward storyline.
Best Character: John Marston (Red Dead Redemption)
I think every that has played Red Dead Redemption would agree with me when I say that John Marston is the best character for this year. His sometimes ruthless attitude made it so much more fun tracking down outlaws throughout New Austin, Blackwater and even Mexico. SPOILER ALERT: And I think we all cried a little inside when he was killed at the end of the game.
Best First Person Shooter: Call of Duty: Black Ops
I know, I know, you guys are all probably groaning in your seats right now and calling me a fanboy but you guys have to realize what this game is. This was my personal choice because it truly did remake the series, after the frustrating year of MW2 CoD needed a boost. Although the game turned out poor for the PC, it was the most balanced game (in my opinion) since CoD 2.
Best RPG: Fallout: New Vegas
This should be no surprise to anyone. Fallout: New Vegas was easily the best RPG this year. Although to me it felt like a re-vamped Fallout 3 the new world, factions, guns, and quests were enough to make me faint. Even after 75 hours of gameplay I am yet to finish all the sidequests and do all the endings.
Now, I don't want to get into EVERY genre out there so I'll go straight to the game of the year.
Game Of The Year: Fallout: New Vegas
I honestly couldn't have not given this game the award. It's stand alone feeling and satisfaction you get while blowing the head off a legion troop was the very meaning of the word 'Awesome'. Bethesda and Obsidian released a fantastic game that millions of people worldwide got to play. Thanks Bethesda!
Thank you all for reading through my 'Basic' awards. I may release another thread later going a bit more in depth with the different genre's.
Thanks!
