GOTY 2008 1
This list is as simple as they come. 2008 was a huge year for games, and I feel compelled to make a top 10 list just like everyone else. What's interesting about this year in particular is that I can actually make a legitimate top 10 list- I don't kn

GOTY 2009 0
Alright, it's time to do this thing. I've been putting it off for a bit, because this is one of the most difficult top 10 lists I've ever had to make. A lot of internal debate has occurred over the past week or so, as there are easily more than 10 ga

My Favorite Video Games 6
Think of this list as my personal video game “Hall of Fame.” While there are certainly dozens, if not hundreds of games absent from this list that mean a great deal to me, its exclusivity showcases the ones that have had the biggest impact on me pers

Games I've Owned/Rented 0
I know it's the kind of list that ends up being listed a lot, but I though I'd share my general history. This isn't necessarily in chronological order. List is likely incomplete due to my not remembering.

GOTY 2010 0
2010 was once again a great year for games, and forcing myself to sit down and make an ordered top 10 list only makes me realize just how much fun I've had playing games this year. Not to mention the slew of awesome games from the year that didn't qu

GOTY 2011 0
2011 was another fantastic year for games. Even though I definitely suffered some sequel fatigue this year, it goes to show how much gaming has come into its own that even with that fatigue I still had a hard time narrowing this list down to just 10

GOTY 2012 5
2012 has been a weird year for games, and while I don’t think it’s been a particularly strong year when compared to the rest of this generation, it's by no means been a bad one either. I still managed to play a lot of fantastic games that I thoroughl

GOTY 2013 0
I previously thought 2012 was a weird year for games, but 2013 was even more so. There somehow managed to be a whole lot of really good games this year without many clear standouts, which made coming up with (and especially ordering) this list a much

Games of the Generation (X360/PS3/Wii) 2
Like many others, I (finally) decided to post a list of my favorite games of the past "generation". While this list is mostly self explanatory, there are a few points that deserve clarification. First, everyone seems to have their own criteria for wh

GOTY 2014 3
I’m in general agreement that 2014 was not the best year for games, yet forcing myself to sit down and organize a top 10 list reminded me that, yes, I did have a lot of fun playing video games this year. It may be missing those one or two real stando

GOTY 2015 10
2015 was a great year for me; personally, professionally, and also for video games. I’m not ready to back the sentiment that it rests among the best years in video game history, but I can’t deny that 2015 gave us a lot of fantastic games of all shape

My Favorite Video Game Soundtracks 8
Think of this as a companion list to my Favorite Video Games list, and as my personal video game soundtrack “Hall of Fame.” I’m an unabashed fan of video game music, and while there are countless games with music I love, I want to showcase the video

GOTY 2016 4
If I were to try and come up with a concise theme for my 2016 in video games, it would likely be one of refined sequels. I played a ton (a ton!) of really cool games this year, of all kinds, but what stands out to me most when looking back over the

My Ranking of Metroids 6
This list is exactly as it sounds: my personal ranking of the games in the Metroid franchise. It's one of the few long-running franchises where I've played basically every game, and thus feel qualified to rank. Note that I'm only including what I con

GOTY 2017 14
You know, 2017 was another great year for games. At the same time, I don’t rank it among the best ever like many seem to, at least not for me personally. Don’t get me wrong; some fantastic games came out this year, including a few that will undoubt

GOTY 2018 7
Hey! We survived another year! And despite everything else, 2018 was another great year for games, with plenty that I enjoyed; certainly more than the 10 on this list. That said, I also noticed a pair of big shifts for me this year, and it’s hard to

GOTY 2019 6
2019 was an interesting year for me and video games. Following some (positive) personal changes this year, I had substantially less time for games than ever before. That means I had to adapt, and really think about my gaming priorities. What’s intere

Games of the Decade (2010-2019) 4
Compared to other rankings, the "games of the decade" one makes for a weird list. A year is a small enough chunk of time where everything is pretty manageable and comparable, while a generation collects games together based on their shared hardware

My Ranking of Gaming Years (1991-2021) 11
On the surface, this list is exactly as it sounds: my personal ranking of the years in gaming from 1991 onward. Every year during GOTY time, there is some discussion on whether it was a “good” or a “bad” year for gaming. So for fun, I finally decided

GOTY 2020 5
It feels redundant and perhaps perfunctory at this point to try and sum up 2020; to say it’s been a shitty year is an understatement. I also had my own personal turbulence on top of the obvious, which resulted in a clear split in my gaming year. Duri

My Ranking of From Software Games 7
This list is exactly as it sounds: my personal ranking of the modern From Software games. And no, I'm not going to call them "Souls" games or "Soulsborne" games or "Soulsbornekiro" games or any other monstrosity. But you know the games I am talking a

2023 was the first year in a long time where I struggled to keep up with all the new releases I wanted to play, and ultimately didn’t get to everything by the end of the year. Some of that was personal circumstance, but most of it was because, well,
