Maxis’s Big Bang began with a two-bed two-bath home, nestled in a nook of familiar and anonymised suburbia. One of the fascinating aspects about The Sims is that it sprang forth from nowhere. Countless games, expansions, and spinoffs followed, and I think it’s safe to say that that metaphor didn’t last. The Sims was intended to satirise capitalism and consumer culture, creator Will Wright said. Mafia II, in aping the open worlds of games like Grand Theft Auto, it proves a reassuring point: it doesn’t matter how well-trodden the territory, in game design-as in Vito’s grim world-it’s execution that counts. And for those who relish collectibles, Empire Bay was strewn with authentic issues of Playboy, a smart little smear of American authenticity. The eras jumped and jived to the songs on the soundtrack. It served up a neapolitan of stealth, barefisted brawling, and gunplay, all of which had zip. All of which forms the perfect framework of the forgettable: a protagonist who talks of inner turmoil while caged in the cutscenes, only to spree merrily through town, tommy gun in hand, when unleashed a plainly handsome city, whose thrills are ankle deep and a story that’s stale from the start.īut I haven’t forgotten Mafia II. He lives in Empire Bay, which we see first under banks of wartime snow, in the 1940s, and then in the bright, booming light of the 1950s. He is enrolled first in the Clemente crime family, and then, after a stint in jail, joins the Falcone family. The hero of Mafia II, an Italian immigrant named Vito Scaletta, returns to America from fighting in Italy, in WWII (“Who says you can’t go home again,” he quips.), with his moral compass dented and bent out of shape, pointing permanently to a true south of the soul. These are the games of the decade that meant something, for some reason. These may be big or small they may have been blighted by arriving in particularly gilded years or else they may be made merely of the all right stuff. Imogen and I have compiled a list of games (there was little to the compiling, save for a slight twist of the stop valves of our recollections) that have, for one reason or another, meant something to us. Now is the time to consider, with practically Proustian weight, the games of the 2010s-which of them, as the decade draws to a close, are marked on the mind’s eye? The banks of my memory have long been broken, overflowing with a muddied stream of not just the classics but the games that strutted in their shadows. Whether or not they will roar, like they did a century ago, remains to be seen.
