Category: Best of Year:

I celebrate the final days of a year by doing a top ten list of movies and video games I’ve gotten my eyeballs into the preceding 12 months. I also end it with my biggest let downs.

Wooderon Games of the Year 2016: #9

Day number two of my Games of the Year listings, and it kind of feels like I didn’t play much more than 10 games this year. Which not to say this bottom end of the list was scrabbled together from the only other games I could figure out I’d played this year, but it’s been light.

Look I liked all the games on this list, whatever. Like before I’m going to recap and link to previous entires before talking about the next game on the list.

Wooderon Games of the Year 2016: #10

2016 has most defiantly not been my most prolific video gaming year. I have spent a significant amount of time looking at screens for sure, but I’ve noticed my tastes and gaming habits changing. It isn’t just me though. I think the industry as a whole has gone through a bit of a shift.

The focus on buying new games every couple of weeks seems to be dying down a little. Games are expensive, and more of them are coming out than ever before.

3 most disappointing games of 2015

You thought I’d counted my days wrong didn’t you. Well it just wouldn’t be me if I couldn’t top off 10 days of praise with a nice little cherry of negativity. I’ve mentioned that I didn’t get the chance to play everything I would have liked to this year, and I’m sure my list would have looked a little different if I’ve gotten around to games like The Witcher 3, Bloodborne, SOMA, Dying Light and more.

However, just because a game was absent doesn’t mean I just didn’t play it. Some games this year let me down. They managed to build themselves up and then ultimately fail to deliver for me in a way that meant I needed to bring them up here to clear up a few things and complain.

for your displeasure, here are my three most disappointing games of 2015: Continue reading “3 most disappointing games of 2015” →
