I'm actually about a week late on posting this, but I completed
Magicka and its
DLC packages.

Rainbow Making |
The Magicka spell system impressed me. After all the glorious applications of spell combos, other RPGesque spells seem so tame. I feel trapped with only using a single spell in Champions of Norrath (I want to link to the Sony page here...but it's down). I do hope more studios incorporate combination spell casting in to their games. In fact, they could use the idea and expand it to other combat types.
I also thought
Arrowhead did a good job by not taking their game too seriously. They referenced everything from
SkiFree,
300,
Highlander to
Chuck Norris. They were even comfortable enough to mock themselves by creating a "Crash to Desktop" spell that humourosly added lines like "Goblin Archer has disconnected from the game."
I look forward to what Arrowhead pumps out next.
