Gamesblip - Blippy Awards 2015



			POSTED 30/12/15 GAMESBLIP 'BLIPPY' AWARDS 2015 Whoomp! There it was. As 2015's taillights fade it's time once again to get all judgy on the console games that we played during the year. As we're not superhuman - and have a day job - we didn't get to play everything, so can only type of that which we know. We've streamlined it (a bit) this year as the Blippys were turning into a monster, plus we don't have a 'game of the year' as such now, just our favourite of the year. It may not be the best thing released, but we really liked it. After all, opinions are like arseholes - everybody's got one. So these are our arsehol- erm, opinions for the year... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST ACTION THING RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER Crystal Dynamics/Square Enix We'll always bear with you, Lara. Even when you're monoconsolic. Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST ADVENTURE THING EVERYBODY'S GONE TO THE RAPTURE The Chinese Room/Sony It may be languid, but what an immersive trip. Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST ARCADE THING DARIUSBURST: CHRONICLE SAVIOURS Taito/Degica Super expensive, but super arcade perfect. Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST DRIVING THING FORZA MOTORSPORT 6 Turn 10/Microsoft Hoon down Conrod Straight 'flat knacker' and just try not to grin. We dare you! Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST FIGHTING THING ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS 3 Omega Force/Bandai Namco One of the year's most out-and-out fun surprises. Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST GUILTY PLEASURE THING SAINTS ROW: GAT OUT OF HELL Deep Silver What it lacks in polish it gains in wonderful, hilarious insanity. Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST MONEY PIT THING LEGO DIMENSIONS TT Games/WB Games Hey, tire of it and at least you have a bunch of (scarily expensive) blocks and minifigs to chuck into your LEGO collection! Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST PLATFORMY THING TEARAWAY UNFOLDED Media Molecule/Sony We love things that inspire creativity, and so do Media Molecule. Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST PUZZLY THING THE TALOS PRINCIPLE: DELUXE EDITION Croteam/ Devolver Digital A philosophical puzzler with an actually sane learning curve. Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST REMASTERED THING RARE REPLAY Rare/Microsoft Studios Blast Corps and 29 other games - some great, some dated - in a superbly presented package. More please. Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST RPG THING THE WITCHER III: WILD HUNT CD Projekt RED Much more fun than an arrow to the knee... Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST SHOOTY THING SPLATOON Nintendo Nintendo's day-glo way to go gun crazy. A wonderful surprise, and killer (well, splatty) multiplayer experience. Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST SNEAKY THING METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN Kojima Productions/Konami The only Snake that we don't hate. Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR ACEST SPORTY THING ROCKET LEAGUE Psyonix Car soccer, or 'soccar' if you prefer (hopefully you don't though, because naff - unlike the game, which is tops). Review... 2015 BLIPPY FOR BIGGEST DISAPPOINTING THING ROCK BAND 4 Harmonix/Mad Catz So very disappointing. Much of what was good about RB3 stripped out, a D-grade track list, stupid additions and promises made that are still nowhere to be seen at the time we're writing this (like exports we've previously paid for, and that were used as a major selling point.) At least updates are slowly improving things, but it's a dud so far. 2015 BLIPPY FOR OUR FAVOURITE THING ASSASSIN'S CREED SYNDICATE Ubisoft AWOO! Grapple hooks of London... Loading times suck really hard, but the bits in-between are just great fun, even if we can't make that bloody carriage destruction trophy pop... Review... 2015 BLIPPY CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR THINGS DISNEY INFINITY 3.0 (Review...) FALLOUT 4 (Review...) LIFE IS STRANGE (Review...) PROJECT CARS (Review...) UNTIL DAWN (Review...) XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X (Review...)		CLICK THIS! CLICK THIS!
