A.K.A. EVERYTHING ELSE I FORGOT TO MENTION

Seeing as we’re in a new year and possibly a new gaming generation, I figured blah blah blah bullshit bullshit bullshit you get the damn point. I’m sick of that paragraph. I’ve been copying and pasting it all god damn month. Thankfully today is the last day in January and I can finally move on. But seeing as it still is January I feel bizarrely obligated to make one last post in this series. So today is for all the mild disappointments and modest surprises and a bunch of other crap I couldn’t cram into the last thirty days.

My Biggest Surprises and Disappointments of the Last Gaming Generation Pleasant Surprise: The Beatles Rock Band

Rock and roll all night! ...what? I'm not obliged to make Beatles references. =P

(Insert obligatory Beatles reference here!)

Seeing as we’re in a new year and possibly a new gaming generation, I figured now is a good time to look back on what games from the last few years really defied my expectations. Either because they went above and beyond what I was expecting of them or because they were horrible letdowns that made me feel stupid for buying them. My final surprise for this series is The Beatles: Rock Band, the rock band game born out of a cooperative effort between Harmonix and the Beatles’ music studio, Apple Corps.

Oh, how I envy the dead...

Spoiler: The world will end in 2012!
Other Spoiler: It’s 2013 now…

Today’s disappointment is Assassin’s Creed, the convoluted science-fiction/medieval/fantasy/futuristic something that sucks so hard that they had to put the word “ASS” in its title, twice.

Today’s surprise is Batman: Arkham Asylum, arguably the only truly great superhero game we’ve had this generation. (Other than maybe its sequel.)

inPROPER CAPitaliZatIoN iS So CoOl!

I’d make a pun about this game being infamous, but that’s actually giving it way too much credit…

Today’s disappointment is inFAMOUS, the oddly capitalized superhero/villain wide open sandbox game from Sucker Punch, which, appropriately, felt like a total sucker punch to me.

My Biggest Surprises and Disappointments of the Last Gaming Generation Big Disappointment: Uncharted 2

Just let go. Really, the world will be better off without you.

No! Without you, who will kill hundreds of people in ill-advised adventures that almost release unspeakable evils into the world to satisfy your ego as an explorer!

Today’s disappointment is Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, the harrowing tale of a murderous crazy person killing hundreds of people led by a different murderous crazy person for some vague treasure that will have even vaguer repercussions.

My Biggest Surprises and Disappointments of the Last Gaming Generation Big Disappointment: Valkyria Chronicles

Make sure you always bring your good bonnet to a war.

Nothing quite builds character like a war. Good thing wars never have horrible lasting consequences or this game might be kind of depressing…
