Closing out the year, the DGR crew bring us their version of the game of the years, which they call the Daryl Awards in honor of their old landlord who was able to squeeze money from them out of nothing. Simply replace ‘money’ with ‘fun’ and you have the criteria for the DGR top 3 games of the year. They also plan on reading listener top 3 lists and give a final award to the most voted for listener pick.
Starting off with their number 3 picks Hilden chose the open-world playground Red Faction: Guerrilla, while Moe and John go a little lighter with House of the Dead: Overkill and Retro Game Challenge respectively. This is the point where I have to thank the guys for reading the email that I sent in with my top 3 and giving us a plug. Moe starts out the number two picks with Raiden Fighters Aces, which he points out is a bargain at $20. Hilden springs the surprise pick with Street Fighter IV and John jumps in with Uncharted 2.
After a few more emails praising the likes of Demon’s Souls and Assassin’s Creed II, the guys get their number one picks ready. Hilden chooses Uncharted 2 for its amazing amount of polish while Moe shocks with Battlefield 1943. John throws some more love the was of Demon’s Souls for his game of the year, citing spending 7 hours on only the first level. The big winner of the Daryl for the year from Drunken Gamers Radio is Demon’s Souls.
