Bastion's reactive narrator doesn't just elevate the game...it personalizes the entire experience in ways even Mass Effect and Portal don't.

RockYou5452d ago

Da One5452d ago

wait a minute.......

The Legend of Zelda: OoT (and doesn't LTTP, too?) and Earthbound are two that I can think of off the top of my head. Are those the same that you thought of?

LockeCole5452d ago

Very sad I don't have an Xbox and can't play this game. Maybe it's time...

Seriously? Hmm.....

ok *now* I'm getting excited for this game.

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
