Assassin’s Creed II (November 2009)
Assassin’s Creed II is without a doubt one of the best games on whichever platform it has been released on, and that includes the Xbox 360. Assassin’s Creed was already a huge step in gaming, and Assassin’d Creed II improved so heavily upon it, that it almost seems like the original Assasin’s Creed was a prototype, and AC2 is a full blown game that is built upon the prototype that was AC. For all the freedom, variety and awe that Assassin’s Creed II is full to the brim of, we love it like hell.
The Orange Box (October 2007)
The Orange Box, actually, was more of a compilation, but the games that the “Box” consisted of were like none other. Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode One, Half Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal- all of them spectacular experiences, especially Portal, which is probably Valve’s best game till date. There is a lot that can be said about The Orange Box, so why don’t you, who haven’t done so yet, give it a try and prepare to experience one of the best games on the Xbox 360.
BioShock (August 2007)
Not just of this generation, BioShock is one of the best games ever. There are few games that can get as atmospheric as BioShock, and fewer that can maintain the quality and refinement that BioShock boasts of. While its sequel was not as revolutionary as itself, the BioShock brand name is still a very strong brand, and we cannot wait to get our hands on Infinite, which looks as bit as good, if not better than, as BioShock.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
The Elder Scrolls IV was one of the games that defined this gen’s Western Role Playing Games. Having spent literally hundreds of hours playing The Elder Scrolls IV, I can vouch for the fact that few games can ever be as addictive, fun and epic as this one. Oblivion, was, I believe, Bathesda’s peak, and the world that they crafted for this game showcases just how much hard work they put into it. I can give away anything- anything– to have an Elder Scrolls V in the next couple of years.
Mass Effect 2 (January 2010)
I have played through Mass Effect 2 countless of times, and have clocked in innumerable hours of gameplay, and am on my umpteenth playthrough right now, and each of my playthroughs have been as wonderful as if I was playing a whole new game again. It never felt as if I was replaying the same game-the set-pieces, the dialogues, the character models, the weapon loadouts and other stuff is completely different with every playthrough. The character development, story, story presentation, voice acting and the script of this game are incredibly powerful, and I can think of no other game that can match this game’s depth. It is this very depth, this varied structure, this epitome of the very genre of Role Playing Games that make Mass Effect 2 not only one of the best games of this generation, but of all times, perhaps.
