Journey

I played this once, beat it and never returned because I don't think anything will be able to beat that experience. This was one of the most emotional multiplayer experiences I've ever had. The way the visuals, music, gameplau and anonymity of the multiplayer mesh together is so seemless and unique that I urge everybody to play it without reading about it. It's an event.

All you do in Journey is walk and flutter amongst beautiful environments for two hours. I felt closer with my anonymous partners trekking through the unknown lands than I have with my friends of years playing Halo, and I'll never know their names, but we helped each other; we cared for each other's success. We felt the need to simultaneously lead and follow each other. And by the end - God, by the end. This is by far my favorite game of its generation.

Straining the definition of game, but a great experience.

I'd probably have more fun with someone choking me with that scarf.
