Greatest Console exclusive games: a GBAwards exclusive!

Now we'll get to see which games were considered the best for two specific consoles, games that are exclusive to that console only. Today we just have two console winners. The next will be Xbox sometime later this week. Now here are the two console exclusive winners:

*platinum winner*
LittleBIGplanet 2
console: PS3

Release: January 2011

Surprisingly, a lot of really good PS3 exclusives came out this year. All were neck and neck to be the greatest, but in the end it was LittleBigPlanet 2 that achieved. Perhaps it's the fact that you're able to create entire games on this fabulous platformer, or maybe it's the family friendly fun that never gets boring. LBP also succeeds in the multiplayer aspect that allows you to play locally with three other people. It seems no matter how many times you play this, you will always find something you've never seen the last time you played. Good job LBP and thank you Sony for making LBP a future legacy.

Runner ups:

Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception *gold*

Infamous 2 *silver*

Killzone 3 *bronze*

Resistance 3 *beer*

*platinum winner*
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Console: Wii

Released: November 2011

When this game was announced, and after almost a full year of waiting, we knew that this game had great potential. It presented itself nicely and the gameplay itself is well achieved. besides the Ocriana (Ocrana?) of time 3DS remake, this is the newest Zelda game that we've gotten since what seems like forever, and boy was the wait worth it. Not only was this the Wii's last great game, and this years best Wii game, but it perhaps is the greatest Wii game to ever be made. Thank you Nintendo for allowing us to play as link on the Wii one last time.

Runnerups:

Xenoblade *gold* (foreign but it still had great success)

Kirbys Return to dreamland *silver*

Mario sports mix *bronze*

N/A *beer*

[NOTE: 2011 was not the best year for the Wii. Besides the amazing Skyward Sword, not many other Wii exclusive games came out or were worth mentioning. This is probably due to their preparations for the Wii U]

now these are just the rewards for greatest console exclusives, we still have the contests for greatest game of a specific genre. until next time...

Shining Force Feather

       With Shining Force 2 recently released on the Virtual Console we've all been reminded just how important this series is to console strategy games. There have been countless sequels, but Feather looks to be more promising than everything that has come before it. 

      Because the game was completely in Japanese I have no idea what the TGS demo contained story-wise. Instead I can only comment on the battle system that I briefly experienced at the SEGA booth. In the demo I was given control over four characters, with a top-down view of a battle field much like the original Shining Force. However, once combat starts, the updates to the series are very apparent. 

      First off, the grid is gone. Instead of moving characters a set number of squares over the battlefield, each soldier can move in a set circular radius. This allows for quite a bit more freedom of movement. Once in place, each character also has a designated range of attack that once initiated throws players into a close-up side view of the action. To attack, players must press a series of buttons in time with an oscillating attack meter, allowing for multiple strikes in one turn. The instructions at the booth illustrated that it was possible to team up for more powerful attacks, but I wasn't able to accomplish this during my play session. 

      The screen also displays a horizontal timeline of when each character will be given a turn, making it much easier to check up on the flow of battle. So far Shining Force Feather appears to be upgrading the classic strategy game without changing too many of the qualities that made it great.

Demon Souls

HARD    AS    H#LL!!!!

System: PS3

Year: 2008

Story

A basic RPG story like any other that takes places in midieval times, except with a much darker tone and the sense that there is danger around every turn. 

Gameplay

Hard to get used to at first, because the game is very precise. But eventually you get the hang of it and learn to love it.

Graphics

For a game that primarily focuses on gameplay, the graphics are surprisingly stunning. Especially in the character design.

 Music

Great music for an RPG, as well as a dark game in general.

Entertainment

This is the second hardest game ever made (first being its sequel Dark Souls) so a lot of times it's hard to keep playing a level or stage that you keep dying on. But in the end you feel so accomplished and happy.

Overall

9 / 10

It is a very hard game, but it is one of the greatest games ever made for the PS3. you'll never get that same happy feeling again from when you beat this game, Great memories you'll have down the road.
