Rich artwork, addictive gameplay, and a wonderful story prove that Bastion, despite its humble presentation, has all the right ingredients to be one of the year's most satisfying games.

Rich Storytelling Sends Bastion Over The Top
Published on Jul 19 2011
Bastion is a wonderfully diverse game that offers up a great deal of flexibility in how you approach its many challenges.

Storytelling is a finely honed craft. Great stories often depend on great storytellers; someone who can do more than recount a sequence of events. A great storyteller will lure in his audience, captivate them, and have them hanging on his every word. It is rare to see this art translated to the medium of videogames, and in Bastion we find not just a great story, but a great storyteller.

Too longwinded and singleminded for its own good, Final Fantasy XIII still delivers a grand, gorgeous adventure...eventually.

Branded by the gods and exiled from their homes. Can they still save the world?
