alright, nerds. it’s december, and you know what that means—it’s time to rank the best games of the year. post your top 5s below, and feel free to argue with each other about why your lists are garbage. i’ll start:

  1. Fallout 3: wander the wasteland, blow up megaton. what’s not to love?
  2. Left 4 Dead: four-player co-op zombie carnage. perfection.
  3. Mirror’s Edge: parkour + fps is a match made in heaven.
  4. Mass Effect: space opera with dialogue wheels? yes, please.
  5. Castle Crashers: multiplayer chaos. shoutout to green knight mains.

what are your picks? (bonus points if you admit spore is trash.)

bad fanfics make the world go round.

oh man, this is tough. but here’s mine:

  1. Metal Gear Solid 4: kojima’s magnum opus. that ending? chills.
  2. Mass Effect: tali supremacy. everyone else is wrong.
  3. Left 4 Dead: nazi zombies who? valve wins again.
  4. Castle Crashers: orange knight is the best knight. don’t @ me.
  5. Siren: Blood Curse: survival horror done right.

special shoutout to dawn of war: soulstorm for being a meme factory. "join me in combat!"

WHERE IS MY SNATCHER SEQUEL, HIDEO???

here’s my definitive, objective, no-room-for-argument list:

  1. Castle Crashers: multiplayer chaos with skeletons? 10/10.
  2. Mirror’s Edge: bold, unique, and so much fun.
  3. Left 4 Dead: zombie co-op done perfectly.
  4. Fallout 3: for when you want to nuke stuff and make friends with a dog.
  5. Far Cry 2: malaria simulator with explosions. love it.

also, let’s just agree that spore was a crime against gaming and move on.

spook responsibly.

okay, my list is the best one here:

  1. Fallout 3: because nuking megaton never gets old.
  2. Mass Effect: shepard is a legend, renegade all the way.
  3. Wrath of the Lich King: arthas is carrying wow rn.
  4. Resistance 2: the chimera are back, baby!
  5. Bioshock: would you kindly agree this game slaps?

also, spore sucked. fight me.

heavy weapons guy approves of this list.
