So does anyone else find it baffling that Frog Fractions wasn't mentioned at all during the year, not a news story or a podcast mention, and then goes on to become one the best games of the year according to the Giant Bomb guys? And I get that the GOTY podcasts have spoilers, so I can deal with the twist of the game being ruined, but at no point during the year do I remember the guys saying "Hey try Frog Fractions!".

For the record I can think for myself, and I do find games on my own, but I come to a site like this for a bit of guidance. I feel a little let down this game wasn't mentioned earlier in the year. Am I alone?

There's nothing to spoil about Frog Fractions. There is no amazing revelation. Some guy made a game that was super wacky and some people were caught off guard by it for some reason, as if a flash game could not do the things that Frog Fractions does. Everybody started talking about it at the same time and hyperbole inevitably followed.

i noticed that but it didn't bother me as i never plan to play it.

It's just some stupid flash in the pan that came along and freaked everybody out right before Game Of The Year discussions.

I think there was a Worth Reading about it.

I'm not saying it's a big game, so it being a "flash in the pan" shouldn't matter. If it's worth playing I think it's worth mentioning, especially if it's considered one of the BEST games of 2012. I don't just come to GB to hear about big AAA titles, I want to hear about indie stuff too... it should have been mentioned IMHO.

Its all based on opinions, if you agree...good for you, and if you don't...well then good for you :)
