Dark Souls. They're geniuses simply for having the balls to make a game so hard but at the same time making the player know that every fuck up probably was your fault and not the game being overly cheap.
Man, you guys are GENIUSES!

Nah it's still the games fault... especially on the 360 because the combat lags a bit, it's nearly impossible to backstab and you get hit by attacks when you were already 3 steps away from it.BiggyShackleton said:
Making the enemies overpower doesn't make it your fault. Some of the moves they have are just cheap :/ especially guard breaking >.<
The only time I've had frame rate issues was in Blightown, combat in there can be incredibly annoying. Outside of that I've never had a problem. As for the enemies, overpowered? The whole game can be completed at SL1 if you're good enough. DS is one of the few RPG's that can be completed without increasing anything stats wise, although generally it's a good idea to enchant your gear.Bruenin said:

and super smash bros. Such an obvious idea in retrospect, strange they didn't think of it sooner. Glad it ended up in Sakurai's hands, though.
I'd also say kingdom hearts for it's excessively excellent combat system. Though as a qualifier, the people behind it were mad geniuses, as no one would ever had been able to predict how disney canon would mesh with final fantasy.

OT: This was pretty much the only thing running through my mind when I ran across somebody who had taken it upon themselves to explain all the symbolism and symmetry in Silent Hill 2. Team Silent, y u so smart?? I remember reading about how James' flashlight -- which was his beacon of light taken off a mannequin dressed like Mary -- only fizzled out and died once he'd watched the videotape in the hotel and found out what he did. It might all be bullshit, but it's romantic bullshit, dammit!

Splinter Cell: Conviction lets you lean over short walls if you're in on the second floor. You don't know how useful that is until you're playing the 2 minute Hunter missions and you've got single digits left to cap one of the mooks.
I always thought games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre were damn clever, I love the idea that they combine what is basically chess with rpg style combat and job classes.
Super Meat Boy is very clever as well, the way that you can still have a platformer with infinite live and no time limit and still be really hard is amazing.
Little Big Planet, specifically the creations people have made with such simple tools and an excellent physics engine combined with the ever increasing ammount of content astounds me.

Plants vs Zombies could hardly be called original considering it's just another take on the Tower Defence genre(a good one though)Lugbzurg said:

Dwarf Fortress springs to mind, I mean just look at what goes on in that game.
Deadly Rooms Of Death, not so much for the mechanics (although the simplicity is rather special) but for the incredible design of the puzzles.
Most of Planescape Torment, even after several plays the plot is still just genius.

Fancy Pants, I just started watching Videos like these: And thinking, you know, that would make an awesome game.
Sure enough someone did, and now it's probably one of my favorite Flash games that I have ever played ^_^ It's not mind blowing, just creative and fun I guess
