Sonic Colors was good
Sonic Generations was good
Sonic Spinball was good
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing was good
Sonic Mania will probably be good.

You seem very wrong.

Categorically false! I got a hankering for more progression filled pinball action after playing Pinout on ios this year and I went back to Sonic Spinball, and it's (still!) straight garbage. They failed to make it feel like good pinball. I bet the Casino Night Zone has better mechanics and physics.

Walked by two NPCs in Watch Dogs having an argument about which Final Fantasy is better, 6 or 7.

This game seems alright

The first level of Spinball is good. That's it.

Only one GB staffer spend 100+ hours playing an old game this year. Come on Vinny, this is your category, nobody else really cares and they will give it to you easy.

I finished Recore.
Don't play Recore

Holy shit that ending

I knew there was going to be a grind in the last quarter of the game before I even bought the game, but nothing could prepare me for the door requirements in the last dungeon. The orb requirements were like double what I had at the time. I was absolutely stunned. It's like half the game got cut.

I gave up and looked at the ending on Youtube. I still consider this finishing the game, cause I'm not gonna waste precious hours for a horribly stupid ending. I actually stopped playing the moment I reached one of those orbs on the map and realized that I needed the one robot I didn't bring with me. And that ending....

Also I spent like 5 minutes to figure out how to uninstall the damn thing. Very intuitive W10 store, very intuitive.

I realized I've played 6 games that were actually released this year. Thanks, early access! I'm over halfway to being able to put together a GOTY list.

Titanfall 2 might actually bump out Overwatch for me on my GOTY.


It does the frantic action of a COD type game(Better than COD) as pilots and hte 'class based' thing not quite better than Overwatch but gives me a very similar feeling of bigger engagements with more stakes once in Titans. And it helps playing an online FPS where I don't feel forced to play a healer because no one else will.

Play Zenyatta

Landing headshots is so goddamn satisfying. Zenyatta is so goddamn satisfying.

Hes my pocket carry. Fuck, Zenyatta is so awesome. Feel badass flinging orbs and debuffing fools and then becoming invulnerable like a gos.

If no one is playing healer, Zenyata's not really a good choice by himself. I can only play Zenyatta in the world where there's already one healer.

Which isn't what most of the OW community seems into.

Mine is pretty and pink
I mostly play Tanks and support but I've almost become a "mainer" of a single hero. Zenyatta is just too satisfying, it's hard choosing anything else when he's available.

He feels awesome to use. The noise of him flinging orbs makes is so damn pleasing. The animations as well.

Overwatch deserves GotY tbh.

Best Character will probably be something disappointing.

They didn't even choose Franchis York Morgan that year. Mordin Solus and/or Bayonetta over him? Just the worst. (This was in 2010 so I guess I'm bitter... didn't realise it was so long ago. Bah.)

Jeff complaining about people driving the speed limit.
I can't get behind that.

I don't know the roads Jeff uses, but there are a lot of places where driving at the speed limit can fuck with the flow of traffic and absolutely make the road less safe
