Game of the Year 2023 0
This was a year in two parts. The first half was dominated by two things: Freelancer (an absolute runaway juggernaut) and playing comfort-food games on the Steam Deck. Being back in the Steam ecosystem means the barrier between me and impulse buying

Game of the Year 2022 2
Optimism doesn’t feel like the prevailing vibe of 2022, in many ways it’s quite the opposite, but that can’t quash the positivity I continue to experience in my personal life and hobbies. It was a year about honestly engaging with the ways the world

Favorite Game From Every Year 0
Yeah, this is the Twitter thing that’s been clogging my feed circa July/August ‘22. I don’t want to spend any time pumping content onto that hellsite so… here we are. Games are picked with minimal release date fudging (don’t be a pedant). The list en

Game of the Year 2021 0
In many ways this was the year where the chickens came home to roost. The delays that started to appear in 2020 were amplified as 2021 progressed and we ended up with tons of anticipated games that seemed to be lifted out of their release windows and

Game of the Year 2020 0
Last year’s list ended on a massive note of optimism after what felt like a tepid year for games. That’s especially ironic for a few reasons, A) one of the two games I mentioned last year as a big contender will appear this year as my most disappoint

Game of the Year 2019 4
What an odd year. I spent the majority of it waiting for something interesting to come around. There were plenty of experiences that were okay in the first two-thirds of the year, but they were few and far between. I guess I shouldn’t have been surpr

Game of the Year 2018 1
This is the first year that truly felt like we were smack dab in the middle of a console cycle. The last few years I had enough older games to play that I was always standing with one foot in the past. Things were different this year, with a cavalcad

Game of the Year 2017 0
I played a lot of different games this year, which is not what I would have expected considering all of the business, academic, and personal things that cropped up over the last 12 months. This has certainly been the year that cemented games as my me

Game of the Year 2015 0
I came to the console game relatively recently. I got a 360 in 2012 which had the benefit of a massive backlog of games that my BootCamp equipped MacBook couldn’t handle (basically anything newer than '08 unless it was an indy, or I wanted to play on

Game of the Year 2016 0
This was an interesting year for me. I played fewer games overall, but spent just as many hours playing. I think it speaks to the need for "comfort food" games during stressful times. Since I'm finishing up college, I tend to return to a few games th

Jeff's All-Time Favorites 95
They're not always the best games. They're just my favorite for one reason or another. This list isn't in any particular order and I'm going to go for the more obscure stuff first, since no one needs to see a list that says "OH MAN SUPER MARIO WORLD

Obscure Fighting Games That Are Worth Some Attention 22
The mid-1990s were a pretty special time in gaming. The PlayStation was everywhere, and mod chips were becoming common. This opened me up to a world of crazy-ass import games. Since I happened to have something of a budget that I could put toward acq

Games I Will Accept As Your Answer to the Question "What Is The Greatest Game Ever Made?" 212
Different people with different upbringings in different eras mean that everyone's going to have a different answer to the question.  For the record, when people ask me, I usually say Tetris. It's certainly not my favorite game of all-time, but if yo

Characters I Would Recruit For My World-Class Fighting Force 36
If I needed to start a world-class force of fighters--you know, men and women who needed to be on-call at all times, ready to fight terror wherever it may rear its nefarious head--these would be the guys at the top of my list.

Good Licensed Games 42
I should note that I mean licensed in the traditional sense of taking characters or stories from other mediums and bringing them to games. I don't mean sports games like Madden or Tony Hawk, even though both are technically licensed products.

Pile of Shame 32
One of the (relative) downsides of covering games for a living is only having a finite amount of time to play games, and often having to play a bunch of games you'd rather not mess with. A consequence of this responsibility is lacking the time to pla

Shamefully Shameful Pile of Shame 31
Out of over 700 games that I own, these are top 50 or so (in no particular order) that I regret never finishing or, in some cases, never even started. Â In my defense, I buy alot of games simply for collecting purposes. Â But some of these are too sham

Bad Games That I Can't Help But Like... Or At Least Remember Somewhat Fondly 20
Or, if you want to be all technical about it, "guilty pleasures."Â Â And yeah, "bad" is probably a strong term. Some of these games are merely middling. But at some point I don't want a huge title for the list.

Games for Future Dictators of the World 2
Troubled times make great opportunities for political careers. Economic suffering is a primary cause for revolutionary action and aspiring dictators should be capitalizing on the present woes affecting the global economy. With the world suffering its

These are the sorts of games that, if they were to come up while arguing with someone who didn't like games, you'd just have to shrug your shoulders and say "yeah, well... yeah."

Games Best Suited for DJ Hero Turntable Support. 10
Buying a game peripheral, be it dance mat, fake guitar, or maracas, is a damn tricky proposition. On the one hand, you get a game with a unique set of input mechanics that make the gameplay experience novel. On the other hand, your expensive peripher

While reviewing games certainly has its challenges, comparing two games that have next to nothing in common is actually much harder. These apples-to-oranges moments forced me to really consider things like "is a weird portable rhythm game better or w
