I hate word games. I think I hate words in general. Giving up on life.

if: Ouendan with classic Final Fantasy music, a couple of extra gameplay touches, and levels upon levels of RPG complications which are mostly there to take or leave as the mood goes - all good things. It gets the difficulty curve just right as well, from initial introduction through to full on concentration and desperation. The point when I realised that this game had really got to me was when I was watching a Paralympic medal ceremony and started picturing the Brazilian national anthem as a series of taps and swishes.

Mordy, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 04:47 (eleven years ago) link

Mordy, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 04:48 (eleven years ago) link

From here on in, I'm proud to say that ZS' great animations will accompany the rest of the games on the countdown. Basically everyone on this board probably already knows his work, but if you don't, check out http://weinventyou.net/

More tomorrow!

I didn't get the minecraft release date wrong did I? Pretty sure it did come out in 2012, can't remember the rules on incorporating last year's votes though. Anyway I agree that it's not a fun game, but it lets you turn off the game parts, and then it's a very fun play set to hang out in with kids.

JimD, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 07:11 (eleven years ago) link

it would break some kind of gamers' honour code i am sure, but i would love to see some combined ilxor hours logged #s for all these games

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 12:22 (eleven years ago) link

I'm actually sort of surprised waking mars didn't get more votes -- it did pretty well among a segment of critics. Maybe just not a lot of room for long-form games on ios?

s.clover, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 15:21 (eleven years ago) link

analogue a hate story is much better than the last one but still not as good as digital.

Mordy, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 16:48 (eleven years ago) link

Oh man, I had no idea 2K couldn't get the rights to use John Stockton's likeness and had to settle for Chris Kattan.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 16:50 (eleven years ago) link

So I was the only vote for Analogue, huh? I was somewhat disappointed (think I've said on every possible thread that it's nowhere near as good as Digital) but I still thought it was worth a reasonable vote. It's much much better than most 'Visual Novel' type things.

emil.y, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 16:51 (eleven years ago) link

wow, nobody else played NBA 2K13? that game kinda blew my mind! of course, I haven't played an NBA game in like ten years, so... but still!

Nhex, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 16:51 (eleven years ago) link

I played the demo for NBA 2K13 and thought it was their best in years. But I haven't seen it for cheap -- missed the Black Friday deals -- so I haven't picked it up yet.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 16:54 (eleven years ago) link

lovin the gifs

zero dark (s1ocki), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 16:54 (eleven years ago) link

i felt like digital was the perfect amount of gameplay to storytelling. analogue was just a giant text dump at times. she needs an editor.

Mordy, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 16:55 (eleven years ago) link

POCKET PLANES that was gaming to me in 2K12 for better & mostly for worse

Euler, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 16:57 (eleven years ago) link

these animations are great.

really glad i got off the pocket planes early on when an idevice died. at least with the other time-waster pellet dispensers you can run out of things to do pretty quick. pocket planes quickly ramped up to where you could be managing yr. planes all day nonstop.

s.clover, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 17:07 (eleven years ago) link

my life this term has been Pocket Planes IRL so I appreciated the mappiness of it. I am basically a sucker for games that have real world maps involved essentially in the game play (cf. Plague Inc)

Euler, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 17:10 (eleven years ago) link

its a game that invites min/maxing but at the same time makes you ask why you're reallly bothering. that article linked is pretty good on the topic, i guess, but more positive about it.

s.clover, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 17:13 (eleven years ago) link

...yeah, i am at a loss at how i spent so much time on Pocket Planes and Tiny Tower. don't really regret it, but i'm kinda glad to be out of the addiction cycle as well

Nhex, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 17:24 (eleven years ago) link

someday i'll get around to playing Analogue just so i can yell at you guys for overrating Digital

Nhex, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 17:24 (eleven years ago) link

i could see myself (regretting) getting lost in pocket planes so i will steer wide of that.

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 18:11 (eleven years ago) link

c+p has by far the best production values of any poll, nice work forks and zs

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 18:12 (eleven years ago) link

the gifs are really nice

Nhex, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 18:50 (eleven years ago) link

graphics 5/5
story 5/5
sound 4/5 because it doesnt have any

Bob-omb The Videogame Industry! (Will M.), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 18:57 (eleven years ago) link

Pinball Arcade was my vote, and I'm surprised I was the only vote. All of the pinball machines in the game are simulations of real machines, using the actual layouts, sounds, and animations.

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link

huh I could have sworn I voted for that

Ima R.A.E.D. (DJP), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:01 (eleven years ago) link

just doublechecked, you didn't.

it was very clear that it's a sarcastic song (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:02 (eleven years ago) link

btw the gifs are, one and all, amazing; lots to look forward to

it was very clear that it's a sarcastic song (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:03 (eleven years ago) link

maybe I thought it was a 2011 game?

Ima R.A.E.D. (DJP), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:04 (eleven years ago) link

This is the poll for old games that were re-released on random platforms in 2012 so there is no room for actual new games.

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:06 (eleven years ago) link

anybody want to start putting in bets on the top ten?

it was very clear that it's a sarcastic song (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:07 (eleven years ago) link

NO
(jk)

Z S, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:08 (eleven years ago) link

I'm guessing that #3 is the gamification version of the 1040 EZ tax form or something.

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:10 (eleven years ago) link

great work on the animated gifs so far, looking forward to what gif is chosen for my no1 game that no one will have voted for!
also : really need to get round to playing a Christine Love game - i think i got Analogue in a Steam sale, but do i need to play Digital first?

( X '____' )/ (zappi), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:14 (eleven years ago) link

they're unrelated but digital is significantly better than analogue

Mordy, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:22 (eleven years ago) link

gamification

Ima R.A.E.D. (DJP), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:22 (eleven years ago) link

on the gifs: i'm doing the best i can (still need to animate top 18), but they take a lot of time and i'm really crunching on a bunch of stuff so quality may precipitously decline!

Z S, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:34 (eleven years ago) link

this is where I am sad that wallogina.jpg is gone as that would be an outstanding backup

Ima R.A.E.D. (DJP), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:59 (eleven years ago) link

it's gone?!
