Game of the Year
God of War
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: SCE Studios Santa Monica
Why It Rocked: God of War has everything. And by everything, we mean the kitchen sink and then some. In addition to its award-winning story, musical score, and its status as the best action game of 2005, it garnered more awards from our PlayStation 2 site than any other game this year... and won by a landslide across the entire IGN network as the single best experience of the season.
But why all the accolades and admiration? To be perfectly blunt, it kicked major ass on all sorts of levels. It was a balls-out action game with crazy combos, chain moves, and a ramped up difficulty on par with the hardest titles of 2005. It was also an extremely well-designed platformer with challenging jumps and puzzles that not only made you think, but weren't arbitrary or ridiculous in any way. Don't forget all the great bonus features, Easter Eggs, and other little tidbits either -- they added an even stronger value to an already powerful package. Oh, and did we mention that its technology, direction, and use of audio was on par with major Hollywood films? It is.
No matter how you cut it (or slice it, or rip it to pieces), God of War is one of the single best action games you'll ever play... and certainly the best overall game of 2005.
God of War: Additional Editors' Comments
Santa Monica Studios and David Jaffe have created a next-generation game in the current generation with astounding results. As casual enjoyment, God of War satisfies in an immense, powerful way. It's fun and engaging on the surface -- but there is so much going on underneath. The integration of Greek mythology into the fictitious new story revives the ancient stories with verve and imagination like no other developer has ever done, whether it's the manifestation of the three-headed hydra, the enormous war god, Ares, or the Olympian king, Zeus. The gameplay falls under the basic description of action, but you'll find everything from puzzle-solving to platforming and adventuring, and all the while a fantastic, compelling story is being revealed. Jaffe and staff haven't made an easy game, but they educate the gamer as well as any Nintendo game: Once you learn a fighting technique, you'll use it to defend your life. Technically and from a production standpoint, it's a PS2 marvel, at once one of the best looking, sounding, and playing games on the system.

When God of War first appeared on the scene, at a glance there wasn't much to distinguish it from any other violent game. But once we got our hands on this masterpiece, there was no denying its exceptional value. Few games have so elegantly demonstrated our need to carry out brutality. The combo system that God of War has makes violence look like art -- ripping someone in half has never felt so satisfying. But fighting maneuvers alone aren't the only factors that contributed to the great design of this game. Everything from the music and sound effects, to the voice acting, cutscenes, and story, are what make this game a sure pick for Game of the Year. Even the gore in this game seemed well-suited to the experience. It was never too overwhelming, but cool enough to keep us going and wanting to see more. Although many titles that come out during the year add little to the sum of gaming achievement, God of War undoubtedly resonated with almost every gamer that picked it up, and left us craving for a sequel.

I've been waiting for a game like God of War for years. It's a game that gets melee action down perfectly. It's a game that presents an awesome character fighting against awesome odds. It's a game with some of the most beautiful visuals I've seen in quite some time both artistically and technically. Most importantly, it's a game that makes me want to rip the wings off a harpy and crap down its neck.
I love Greek mythology. It's been an interest of mine from the first time it was introduced to me in grade school. Creating a character like Kratos, a man fueled by his desire for bloodshed and the horrible circumstances surrounding his family, to inhabit this magical world was a masterstroke. He's a total asshole, but you fall in love with his determination and ferocity, much of which is demonstrated through awesome animations, effects, and terrific voice-work. This is a powerful man and you feel just as powerful while you're playing because of the intense and brutal action. This is as close to a perfect action game as you can get. I can't wait to see what David Jaffe and company come up with next.

Resident Evil 4
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom Production Studio 4
Genre: Third-Person Action Adventure
Though God of War took this award without that much of a challenge, it's impossible to deny the merits of Resident Evil 4 as a Best Overall Game candidate. While it didn't really endanger God of War's chances to win, it did pull in a commendable amount of votes. By itself, RE4 is an amazing game with an immersive atmosphere, startlingly lifelike enemies that incite as much awe as horror and an engaging storyline. If you consider how RE4 fits into the series as a whole, it's even more impressive. The control scheme was finally refined, the combat made much more intuitive, the item boxes done away with and the frustratingly illogical puzzles removed. In addition to the gameplay, it helps that the game has exceptional graphics and sound, as well as the addition of upgradeable weaponry at item vendors. RE 4 was a landmark game that will undoubtedly be remembered fondly for generations to come, and is a title every gamer needs to try out. If nothing else, it'll teach you how to repel an assault by a pack of rabid Colmillos, should that ever happen.

Shadow of the Colossus
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: SCEI
Genre: Third-Person Action Adventure
I find Shadow absolutely captivating -- a great game despite its faults. The why of it was a little hard for me to pin down at first, but I believe my appreciation of Shadow stems from it subtly delivering not just the excitement associated with death defying acrobatics (of which I am a great fan), but also the wonder of facing the unknown as well as the sense of triumph that comes from toppling a titan with little more than sword, bow and steed.
The struggle between man and walking building and the portrayal of this conflict as an enormous reflex-intensive puzzle is brilliant. This design instills in me great wonder and fear and apprehension, but then becomes wholly satisfying as each colossal battle eventually climaxes. I don't believe any other game in all of history has so compelled me to conquer its foes. And yet in a very strange way, I felt genuinely sad about winning in Shadow. The sights and sounds of the game really helped me develop an emotional connection to the hero, horse and ancient lumbering beasts of the game world. And every single time I vanquish a colossus I feel as if I should explore more, see more and battle more. I feel as if only Agro were by my side I could raise my sword high and spite any dark lord of any game's land. I actually feel like the hero. For that alone I can do nothing but adore Shadow of the Colossus, for without beating me over the head with its fiction, it has still managed to envelop me in its world.

Guitar Hero
Publisher: RedOctane
Developer: Harmonix
Genre: Music
It was a lot more than a feeling that made us fall in love with Harmonix's gem of a music title. The banging soundtrack of classic and contemporary rock coupled with the feeling of sheer joy from wielding the Gibson SG-based guitar peripheral controller -- among the coolest accessories on the market -- made Guitar Hero one of the must-play games of 2005. Strange, too, because Guitar Hero at first resembled any other music game, like Dance Dance Revolution with a plastic guitar. But the amazing rock and roll presentation along with hilarious cartoon band members that sing and play appropriately to each song -- reacting to your mistakes --separated Guitar Hero from the pack of other music games out there. A strangely addictive multiplayer mode, in which you and a buddy take turns rocking out to the same song, rounded out the experience. Not only does Guitar Hero prove itself to be one of the best music titles of all time but it transcends the music genre into the realm of best overall games of 2005, period.
