Ha! I’ll bet you thought I’d forgotten to post a game of the year article this year. I mean, January is halfway over already. Well, after I spent so much verbiage defending review aggregation, it’d be disingenuous to just leave those descriptive statistics just lying there. So get ready to hedge and prepare to evade personal responsibility, because it’s time to bow to the wisdom of crowds.

The new year is upon us and so it’s time to take a look back. For gaming websites like this one, that usually means some sort of game of the year award where the editors of the publication get together and vote/argue for their personal picks.

How myopic. It’s a new year; some perspective is in order.
