Games of the Decade, 1990-1999 2
As a finale to these lists I've slowly been compiling, I decided to combine a number of years into a single list. If I were to do each of these years individually, many would have fewer than ten games listed (1990 might have 4?). As an 80's baby, I a

Games of the Year, 2000 1
Another year in which I played more than 10 games, but there weren't quite 10 that warranted inclusion on a list such as this.

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 2014 0
Well, 2014 may be a weird year, but I still found a whole lot of games to enjoy. From new ideas to tried and true formulas, bold fictional settings to actual history, and plenty more, 2014 managed to bring out more games worth mentioning than I could

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

2015 -- GOTY 0
Here are my top picks from the 2015 games I played this year. Ranking is always a tricky business, but I did want to recognize some of my favorites. My criteria is simply what I remember liking the best. My list and criteria are, of course, far from

GOTY 2015 0
2015 ended up being a strong year with a diversity of good games, and more than a few that bring fresh ideas or take something familiar to the next level. Trimming down the games I played to a top 10 was hard, but ordering this was even harder, espec

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

2016 -- GOTY 0
Here are my top picks from the 2016 games I played this year. My criteria is simply what I remember liking the best. Ranks #5-12 were all close for me, but I’m happy with this order. This year’s honorable mentions are Oxenfree and Homeworld: Deserts

GOTY 2016 1
2016 had a mix of huge surprises, games long overdue, refined sequels, and a fair number of great new ideas. I think that makes it a strong year for games by just about any measure, and I can't imagine a person who just couldn't find anything to enjo

(Personal) Ranking of Legend of Zelda Games 0
After ranking Legend of Zelda franchise games with my ATACS friends, I thought it would be fun to create my own list. Ranking lists are, of course, highly subjective. These can also be fluid, since ranks don't tell the whole story -- two consecutive

(Personal) Ranking of Final Fantasy Games 0
Similar to my Legend of Zelda list, Final Fantasy is another great franchise I've grown up with. (It's also another one I've ranked with ATACS). This list only includes titles I've played. I'm including sequels (e.g. FFX-2) but not spin-offs (e.g. Le

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 2017 0
This year was certainly a journey. I spent a whole lot of time playing what feels like a ton of games - many long, and even more of them great. Without a doubt it was a great year for games, but even more specifically it was a great year for narrativ

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

2018 -- GOTY 0
Favorites from 2018 (which had a lot of games)! My criteria is primarily the games which I remember liking the most overall. Currently I'm limiting to original titles (e.g., no remasters) "fully" released (e.g., no early access) in the U.S. in 2018.

GOTY 2018 0
I don’t know when, if ever, we as a culture will get to a point where we collectively get to the end of a year and say “You know what? This was a great year generally!”. It seems, at least in the takes that come across my radar, each year is ended wi

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 inte

2019 -- GOTY 0
The pace of releases in 2019 (plus holiday sales) has given me a long list of titles I'm still looking forward to playing. I'm already a little late, but now's a good time to put a bow on 2019 GOTY. 2019's honorable mentions are Baba Is You and Caden

Games of the Decade (2010-2019) 4

My Ranking of Gaming Years (1991-Present) 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
