The Escapist Staff's Five Faves of 2008: Russ

[Mariena]

He's bald and acted like Sonic. How much more unconventional do you want that to be?

 

[Susan Arendt]

Except they aren't Best Of lists, they're Favorites lists, as in the games we enjoyed playing the most this year. You can see behinds the scenes chicanery if you like, but that's simply not the case.

 

[Russ Pitts]

Yeah you kind of have to be unconventional to work here. It just goes with the territory. I don't get the reason why this is a bad thing, but ... OK. I will commence feeling bad about this because you say so harhol.

I tell you what I'm upset about though, it's that glaring typo in the section Copter400 quoted. Unconvetional is one thing. Unconventional and shitty at typing is a wholly other thing. Arrgh.

I think it happened again.

Arrgh. Next year's list will include Typing of the Dead.

I agree with pretty much everything on this list. I also loved Mercenaries, and felt GTA 4 was a winner even if it wasn't for the same reasons. Deadspace ranks high on my top 5 as well. All in all a list of fun games that pretty much anyone could enjoy. Is Russ this site's Joe Six-pack?

Given that Yahtzee actually works for The Escapist, I'm surprised I never see any love for Trilby: The Art Of Theft anywhere.
That was a tight little jellybean of old school quirk.

Seconded.

I know I didn't comment on any of the others, but I really enjoyed these "top five" thingdings you guys did.

Technically, that game was from last year. But I agree, it was a tight piece of old-school game making. But seeing as it's one of the very few games we've ever hosted at the site, I see that as a fairly significant expression of love.

Ah.
