The Rare Art of Gaming Perfection

Hopefully everyone has played a game that when you experience any particular part about the game or just the product as a whole you think to yourself, “Wow, that game really does (x-feature) really well.” If you haven’t then I suggest you should just play every game you can get your hands on and embark on a quest of game discovery. There are many ways in which a game can be perfect or can present something unique to anyone who plays them. Whether it be environmental design, character design, voice acting, even something as basic as controller layouts. Literally any feature or part of a game is a chance for perfection or excellence.

Usually I would say that it is a rare occasion where I find a game that I put on a special shelf of games I will never part with because they did one thing so well. Perhaps it is because I find myself in a less than totally cynical mood while writing this or maybe it is because it is the holiday release season where all good things gaming are supposedly showering down around us for a good 5 months. My point is that this presentation of something so wonderful is usually a rare experience. So let us take a wonderful journey through some of games I feel truly stand above the rest in one form or the other.
