Slapstic.com, in their
usual sardonic tone, has delivered a follow-up to their widely
appreciated “Top
100 Xbox 360 Games list!” over the last week.
 With handfuls of
both questionable and gratifying releases included, author Ryan Rigney decisively whips true-shape into that short phrase both the
PR blurb and ourselves in the media are guilty of pigeonholing
videogames with; genre.
While we see the entirely predictable inclusion of big
franchises, Gran Turismo, Devil May Cry, Prince of
Persia, God of War, Tekken, Grand Theft Auto,
it’s encouraging to see the likes of Psychonauts, Okami,
Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy in the US, and also in
Slapstic.com’s feature) and ICO
included in the line-up.
The second-half of Medal of Honor: Frontline may
bring into question it’s eligibility for inclusion in a “Top 100”
list on a format with so many competing releases, but the
recognition of Beyond Good & Evil as a “Zeldaish Warthog
Companion Simulator” and Rogue Galaxy as “Some Artsy Game”
ensure that most attentive gamers will be encouraged to look twice
at more than one or two entries.
“The
Top 100 PS2 Games” is available now over at
Slapstic.com. |
