I'm guessing League of Legends will be one of the frontrunners, and I'm happy with that.ĭawn of War II - Chaos rising (27h) - Picked up an 8 pack for all & sundry. I'm of the opinion that the game that can keep my attention the longest is as likely a candidate as any for GotY. In a couple more days I'll do a time based summary of the year by tallying up the GameLogs. Maybe it's the whole indie scene that gets game of the year? I played a handful, but really didn't have a standout apart from returning to the well of Dwarf Fortress again and again. I felt the same way when surveying the roguelike game of the year voting over at ASCII Dreams. One thing I did notice was that of the AAA games I did own that made the list I felt a little underwhelmed by, which makes giving the nod to a game I didn't even buy seem overly optimistic about how they play too. Handhelds? No iPhone games in the list, and too many to really pull one out (maybe NinJump, but that's really because it's currently in the frontal cortex). Racing? Lots of that, but GT5 is leaving a sour taste in my mouth, and TM Nations is the only one I've been constantly going back to. Shooters? Nup, only TF2 needs to be on my rotation to get my fill. I just finished voting in the AusGamers game of the year and, although I've played well over 50 different games this year, I found myself skipping almost all the categories. Pretty laggy for 5 people on the one connection. League of Legends (1h) - single game at the breakup LAN. Gran Turismo 5 (1h) - Played a little on the big screen at work on the last day. Dug down another route to get a barracks set up overlooking an entrance to the caverns.ĭelve Deeper (3h) - Great little boardgame-like indie game picked up for Cameron. Broke through to the first cave, and managed to get out before opening it up totally. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm (5h) - Into Feralas.ĭwarf Fortress (4h) - Fleshymines, Pop 52. In the end it seems less that Knights of Honor, which is less than Crusader Kings in dynasty management.ĭawn of War II (5h) - Bit more last stand while waiting for the LAN to kick in, as well as a few multiplayer games. First I missed where the tutorial was taking me, then had issues trying to go to war with someone who had already decalered war with me. Reign: Conflict of Nations (8h) - Started a couple of times. With monsters and damage enabled on the server, it's a different, more exciting game (with even more potential for griefing). Minecraft (11h) - Took up most of the Christmas LAN building up an old settlement. Mechanics seem very similar, but the graphics have been smoothed over in Elven Legacy. Managed to get into the top 10 on score, but was ~13th to beat Paris.įantasy Wars (14h) - Looked very similar to Elven Legacy, and turns out it's a precursor to it. Managed to jump into the start of the second server where they had a competition for the first 10 to get to the end of the second campaign. Go on, I'll wait.Batheo (15h) - New online game that has more focus on battles and tactical setup than simple time-based progression. Plus, I dare you to try to make a 16x16 pixel tile that depicts a relief of an image of cheese, or a relief of a dwarf cowering in fear and an elephant laughing. Adventure mode just wouldn't feel right with graphics (unless you believe in playing the new graphical versions of nethack, in which case you are a heathen).
