A game about feudal inheritance laws! What could be more exciting? This was an incredible, mechanically dense, thoroughly satisfying game that I spent many hours with.
Exploration, survival, and real investment in staying alive make this one hell of an experience.
A novel, well-executed experience in what it's like to run a spaceship. Such a unique, interesting game.
There is so much going on in the world of Far Cry 3 that it more than makes up for the lackluster, all-too-serious main storyline.
This was a late entry, and a game I almost didn't play this year, but it really left an impression on me. A truly engaging world, story, and cast of characters that still manage to be ridiculous in just the right ways.
This game was so much fun that it got me to check out proper Rock Band for the first time.
I'm so glad that developers can make this sort of game today and find success on a large scale.
Any game that gives me the chance to get the Padres to the top of their division by week 5 is solid in my book.
A clever, whimsical game with a delightful hidden layer of secrets.
A rather good video game rendition of Jeopardy! that I enjoyed far more than I expected to.
