This list of games is just the tip of the iceberg of all the notable games on user created Game of the Year lists with impressive wiki pages. If you have the time check them all out especially if you haven't played some of these games. 

Best of Blogs 

We have an unbelievable number of blogs this week, however the highlight this week handily comes from Fobwashed who has created a browser game where you can fight boss versions of the staff as Mega Man. Joining him in the game creation front are nintendoeats and Chavtheworld and you can check out their respective games as well. Marino gives you another snapshot of his adventures in EverQuest, and Mento provides another entertaining MS Paint webcomic for you this week. warsnake was a weapon designer for Far Cry 3 and shares which weapons he designed personally on his blog. BisonHero finally got his hands on Deus Ex: Human Revolution and discusses how it could have been a better experience. aurahack shares a blog listing the best albums of the year and Pepsiman explains why Neon Genesis Evangelion is more than just a bad game after livestreaming it. Video_Game_King had Galerians and Sonic Pinball Party as the targets for his weekly blog, and wumbo3000 decided to examine the entire Ace Attorney franchise with his blog. Finally we have Game of the Year blogs...so so many game of the year blogs that it damn near killed me this week.......

Fantastic Forums 

As already mentioned there is new blood in the Giant Bomb moderation team. If you haven't already done so wish Chaser324 and Sparky_Buzzsaw the best in their welcome thread. If you find any good deals for the Steam Winter Sale post them on the Steam Sale discussion thread. Also post pictures of your pets if you have any and discuss if you'll still find the videos of Giant Bomb funny thirty years from now.
