Bastion - my surprise Game of the Year

Xbox controls are perfect and it’s not a graphics intensive game.

For me it’s a tradeoff. I couldn’t aim my ranged weapon for shit with the sticks and was a perfect shot with my mouse, but walking on an orthographic plane is indisputably easier on an analog stick.

You’ll be able to get it for $3 on PC during a sale but it’ll probably stay $15 on xbox forever. Otherwise just use whatever controls you want on PC. I used a 360 controller but with the autoaim it has it does reduce the challenge.

By the way, tested and confirmed: mortar kills rattlers dead.

Spread the word, Bastion is available on the XBLA this week for $7.50

Sweet. I’ll be taking another shot at the dreams soon, then.

What’s the difference as far as doing a second run through in score attack or new game+? What should you do?
