Ok, here I go...
The best games you've played this year?
Final Fantasy 7, played it for the first time and fell in love with it well before disk one was over. So simple to level up in unlike with FFX. It wasnt hard at all and I never had a game over, I really hate dying in rpg's haha. Id put it on the same self as Zelda OoT and Mario 3, which Ive played those before when I was a kid and over again this year..
Your overall game of the year?
Getting into retro gaming through emulation has been amazing, I cant afford new systems, and the newer games that sell well outside of Nintendo arent the same type of games that used to be amazing. When I think of one game that captures everything I really like in my life and in old games I have to go with Symphony of The Night. RPG-like, side scrolling action, beautiful creepy enemies, great music and secrets that make it easier than you first think. It has everything you want.
Your most beloved franchise(s) this year?
Castlevania, played a number of different games from NES to NDS, and man when it comes to 2D scrolling action theyre the best besides Mario.
Your most beloved gaming company/companies this year?
SNK, I like that they go for niche fans. Learning about them this year was one of the many delights I experienced. As a kid I missed the arcade crazy of the early 90's. So glad I can experience all of their games on my computer and even though I suck at them I really appreciate them out of all the Street Fighter followers.
Your most beloved gaming platform this year?
PS1, so many amazing games Ive downloaded for it, almost 100 by this point in 4 months. I got a ton og work cut out for next year haha.
Best soundtrack/video game music of the year?
Symphony of The Night
Biggest surprise of the year?
Me getting into fighting games, I really want to get good at them, Im not sure why, but I just really like 2D ones.
Biggest disappointment of the year?
People not getting sick of FPS's and buying Black Ops 2 so much. sigh.....
Most memorable VG character of the year?
Safer Sephiroth, I love his battle theme and if I were to cosplay as a game character Id want to do him right.
The game you sank the most hours into this year?
FF 7, 82 hours. sounds like a lot, but thats only 4 days out of my life, and they were amazing.
The game(s) you're looking forward to the most next year?
Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, both those I havent finished but started, and FF 4, 6, DS 3, 9, Also a ton of NDS games Ive downloaded.
