Shawn Petraschuk (Executive Editor) – Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
If you can’t tell by now I have an affinity for games that were underappreciated. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was a captivating and well fleshed out game that unfortunately just didn’t sell well enough to ever get a sequel. In fact, it did poorly enough that it caused Curt Schilling’s company, 38 Studios to fold and go bankrupt. A damn shame considering that the world of KoA was well worth checking out. Graphically beautiful containing a vibrant RPG world and fantastic gameplay, it’s too bad we’ll probably never see anything again from this IP.
Trevor Houston (Executive Editor) – The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series
Games like The Last of Us, and Telltale’s The Walking Dead series started a shift for me several years ago. While I still enjoy the odd mindless shooter, story driven games have slowly become my go to gaming experiences. Like a good TV show or movie, a story driven game sucks you in and Telltale’s Walking Dead game did just that for me.
Paul Sullivan (Content and Video Editor) –Â The Last of Us
Naughty Dog’s best game ever. Joel and Ellie were captivating, and the world they lovingly constructed was a nightmarish joy to experience.
