2012 will in all likelihood be the last holiday season dominated by the current generation of console platforms and was another very strong year of gaming (uninspired box art trends aside). The survival of the Mayan Apocalypse means I now get to share with you some of my favorite games from the past year, especially …

Another year has come and gone, and while it wasn’t the greatest year for new releases for me, there were a handful of great games that came out. Oddly enough, at least from a personal taste, a lot of the games on this list were chosen based on their production and story-telling. Each will be …

Since everyone else on Twitter is posting their favorite musical selections from video games, I figured I’ll pull off a double and post some of my favorite tunes from games released in 2010. This way it is both timely and I get to post awesome video game music. I will say that I haven’t played …

Disclaimer Time: Game of the Year awards are always based on opinions, there’s no scientific measurement to say that this game deserves it more than any other. I know off the back, people will ALWAYS have problems with a list, but people expect different things from their games and experiences. With that said, here are …
