15 Best Video Games Of The Year (So Far)

8. South Park: The Stick Of Truth

The video game adaptation to end all video game adaptations, Obsidian Entertaiment's turn up to bat ended up with them knocking it out the park and into the next parallel universe - The Stick of Truth was everything every South Park fan had dreamed it could be, and more. From the spot-on graphics that genuinely look exactly as if you're playing the TV show, through to Trey Parker and Matt Stone pushing the boat out even further with what they could get away with saying and doing thanks to no longer being bound by television censorship, this was the abortion-showing, male-undercarriage-flailing foray into the darkest annals of comedy we'd been waiting for since that first announcement two years ago. The third RPG on this list, gameplay in South Park was vintage Final Fantasy at its best, albeit with perks to weapons that set people on fire or added the "Gross Out" ailment, suitably prompting any opposition to up-chuck their morning eggs whilst shouting all manner of curse words at you. It's such a polished game (save for a few bugs that lock animation-loops) you'll be laughing all the way through to the end, thanks also going to a script written by Parker and Stone themselves that powers your custom-citizen and their quest to see everyone from Timmy to Al Gore along the way, South Park is most likely going to be the most fun RPG of the year.
