Confined to a remote cabin in a remote location, free from all distractions while working - remotely - on this year’s TOP 10 video game list, only one burning question remains... Where’d I leave the remote???
Creed: Okay, I can see leaving the intro to you was a mistake already. Is this all supposed to be clever?
Kenny: Oh will you stop?! I was just setting the mood! Give it a chance to, uh, you know, build the anticipation.
Creed: For what? Your terrible list?
Kenny: Well, for your information, Creed, I was getting to the part where I spend my days away from the ring monitoring the neighbours from my rear window. There’s a part where I suspect maybe there’s a murder and everything! And then....
Creed: Yeah, that’s Alfred Hitchcock and that’s pretty much the entire premise to his movie called, “Rear Window”. Also parodied on the Simpsons. I know you know this.
Kenny: Whoa whoa whoa! Any similarities to people, places or things living and/or dead (or undead), are simply coincidental. This is like when people criticized my idea for a group of friends that zap ghosts for a living...you saw the match, I know you did!
Creed: ..... Oh yeah, we ALL saw that “match” of yours, Kenny.
Kenny: I know, I know. Masterpiece, right?
Creed: I thought that it did a good job of respecting the source material, at least...
Kenny: I felt we did a better job of it than when you and your goofball friends did Final Fantasy or Gears of War!
Creed: WE’RE the goofballs??? And I don’t want to remind you that those were OFFICIAL collaborations whereas you - incredibly irresponsibly might I add - took it upon yourself to cosplay whatever the heck you wanted that day.
Kenny: Cosplay wrestlers... I think I like that. Thanks, Creed!
Creed: That’s not a compliment!
Kenny: Well I wanna take it as one!
Creed: Well it isn’t!
Kenny: Listen to this guy making the big decisions. Like, Who died and made you King?!
Creed: It’s funny you mention that...
Kenny: Oh no, let’s not go there. Can I just pretend to congratulate you and move on?
Creed: Would you pretend to congratulate Bret Hart or Billy Gunn?
Kenny: Of course, I wouldn’t!... Okay, I see what you did... YES, Creed, it’s quite an accomplishment. Truth be told, in some kind of way I’m happy that a fellow gamer and TV show host for G4 was able to pull it off. You’re quite a busy and successful man.
Creed: Why, thank you, Kenneth.
Kenny: ......Okay, now do me.
Creed: Come again?
Kenny: My turn, right?! Talk about all the stuff I did now!
Creed: Congrats on all the belts and whatever cool stuff people said about you.
Kenny: That’s it?!
Creed: Can we just get to the list already???
Kenny: Yeah, this intro has gone on long enough. I tend to milk the drama a bit too much when I work with people from other companies. My bad.
Creed: I get it, trust me. We gotta give the people what they want though.
Kenny: Couldn’t agree more! Soooo without any further adieu, let’s start the yearly top 10!
I’m gonna start by saying I unintentionally slacked a bit this year. I couldn’t play games in the volume that I wanted to so some strong contenders may not appear on my list. I’ll do better next year, but by no means, will my list be inferior to Creed’s.
Onward!
Kenny's 10. Persona 5 Strikers
I’m usually not a huge fan of Musou/Dynasty Warriors style games, but with the additional investigation and Persona-esque RPG elements and unique environments, I really enjoyed my time catching up with the familiar faces of P5. Also, the art and music are stylish as ever.
Creed's 10. Halo Infinite
First halo campaign I’ve ever played. I was distracted by unreal tournament 2 when the first one was out and I never jumped in after that. Really fun multiplayer obviously and the campaign has been fun.
