2021 -- GOTY 0
It's another GOTY list in mid-January! Committing in December is usually a little tough, between holiday sales and finding new games (through GOTY discussions). My honorable mentions for 2021 are Griftlands and Blue Fire. I enjoyed a lot of games fro

2020 -- GOTY 0
I originally wrote my 2020 GOTY list with only nine titles. A big reason for 2020's smaller list is that I was happy to play quite a bit of FFXIV (usually splitting my time between one or two other games). I started enjoying Immortals: Fenyx Rising m

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

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.

(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

(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

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 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

My favorite games of all time. 1
This is always really hard to do, but I'm willing to try and name my favorite 100 games of all time. This list is completely based on what I like, and has very little to do with the objective merits of each title. (Its actually 105 items long, and

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

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

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 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

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
