Videogames. Let's talk about them. More specifically, the videogames that happened this year. I truly wish I had time to play more of them, but such is the conundrum of having no time for videogames because videogames. But, I did manage to still play an okay amount of titles this year, and of those I put together a list of my personal top ten favorites.
I really slaved over this list, and even still changed a couple things around once again while writing this, but I think this list is the final version. Let's do this.
1. The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead came out of nowhere and blindsided us with characters that we fell in love with, and made us deeply
care what they were doing and what was going to happen to them. Staying true to the source material, you just always knew what was going to happen in the end, and what was going to happen to each character. But you didn't want it to. You pulled for these characters, and even when things looked bleak (when didn't they?), you always thought it couldn't get worse. But it does. And what a hell of a ride it was to follow the story through all five episodes throughout the year.
I'm not going to talk your ear off on why it is you should be playing this game. If you follow
any videogame outlet, you know why this is the best title of the year, bar none. It's nothing else.

I also thought I'd throw in my list of honorable mentions (or a list of games that I loved and wished I played more of, but couldn't justify putting them on the list because it didn't feel right or I simply just hadn't played enough of them).
In no particular order:
Dishonored
Gravity Rush
Kid Icarus: Uprising
LittleBigPlanet Vita
Lollipop Chainsaw
Lone Survivor
Lumines: Electronic Symphony
Mass Effect 3
Max Payne 3
New Super Mario Bros. U
Persona 4 Golden
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Xenoblades Chronicles
ZombiU
