  • This game, man. I'm not really sure where to start. Okay. I am now. Motion controls. Stupid, right? Most of the time, yeah. But somehow, Skyward Sword actually manages to make the combat feel great through its use of the Wii Motion Plus. Of course, the art and music are also amazing. The dungeon design and puzzles are the best in the series, especially that last dungeon. Holy shit. And the story actually manages to tie together the whole Zelda universe in a way that doesn't feel like total bullshit, making use of characters that I found myself caring about a great deal by the end of the game. In short, Skyward Sword has become one of my all-time favorite games and is in my opinion both the best Zelda game and the best game to come out this year. Does it have a slow start? Yeah. Is having the game pause every time you pick up a material annoying? Yes. Did any of Skyward Sword's faults stop me from enjoying it? Not in the slightest.

  • I'm not going to try and justify my enjoyment of Pokemon. I'm just going to say that I put almost 250 hours into this game, the Pokemon from this generation are the second best after the original, and this game actually has a decent story. Also, my starter Pokemon was a luchador pig with a flaming mane.

  • Portal 2 has both a great single player, fantastic co-op, and the best writing in any game I have ever played. The fact that it isn't at the top of this list is more a testament to how much I enjoyed these other games than anything else.

  • I wasn't sold on the 3DS's ability to do 3D well until I played Mario, but that isn't what makes this game so great. It's just plain FUN. I have no idea what it is about running and jumping I like so much, but man do I like it. Super Mario Land 3D (that should be its actual title) also has tremendous level design and a great set of power-ups going for it.

  • Kirby Mass Attack is a DS game with achievements. As truly bizarre as that is, it didn't stop me from S-ranking it. Sure, it didn't do anything on a system-wide level, but I just did not want to stop playing. I think that says something about how good this game is.

  • Nobody freak out, but this game was released on Nintendo's e-shop. And not only is it a great game, it didn't get buried in obscurity. Weird, right? Especially considering the NDX hasn't pulled into the station for a while. In any case, Pushmo is a pretty great puzzle game and I hope it's a sign of what's to come on the e-shop. On the other hand, Intelligent Systems should probably get back to making Fire Emblem games (AND ACTUALLY RELEASE THEM IN NORTH AMERICA HINT HINT).

  • It's maybe a bit weird how much I enjoy Terraria considering my general apathy towards Minecraft, but I guess Terraria is more of a game? Maybe?

  • Having never played a Rouge-like before, Dungeons of Dredmor was surprisingly easy to get into and enjoy. And enjoy it I did.

  • Fuck this game... It is pretty good, though.
