Kinda surprised that Braid didn't make the list. The major reveal is both creepy and depressing. The most depressing game I've played personally, though, was Child of Light. So much sadness throughout the story, but the game looks and sounds so beautiful that you almost miss how sad it is. Also, on an unrelated note, like the new hair color, Jess. :)
The Kickstarter failures are just sad, honestly. Consumers need to be more savvy and, most importantly, the developers need to make sure they can handle what they're getting into.
For me it was the year that my brothers and I got Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 and Burnout all in the same Christmas. We freaked out when we pulled those games out of the wrapping paper, and my poor mother initially thought that she and my dad had messed up on the gift. We assured her that they could not have done better with that and spent the rest of our Christmas vacation playing both of those games so much that we unlocked almost everything by the time school started.
Jesus Christ. She's going to be the most OP character in the history of fighting games, and probably also one of the most technical. I'm excited regardless, though!
