In the latestTalking to Women about Videogames(post coming on Tuesday),I had the audacity to saythatMass Effectwas the last great single player-only series in gaming. That was silly. It was arguably even sillier when a few Youtube commenters corrected me, stating thatSkyrim(a game they have presumably not yet played) is thereallast great single player experience in gaming.
That got me wondering; where were theZeldafans at to defend their favorite series? Isn’t anyone out there ready to declare thatSkyward Sword(another game they have presumablynot yet played) is the reallyrealestlast great single player experience in gaming?
All I know is, the game looks like it has everything it needs to be one of the bestZeldagames ever made. The graphics look amazing by any standard, the swimming looks similar to the excellent Zora Link-stuff fromMajora’s Mask, there are switches to whip, water spouts to ride, spiked walls to dash from, and… purple zombie Bokoblins? All great in theory. We’ll see for ourselves next month if Nintendo pulls it off in practice.
