Even though 2017 was an amazing year for games; I really did not play many games released throughout the year; in fact, I played a tiny amount of games released in 2017. It made picking my GOTY much easier than it has been previously though – and that is something that I can get on-board with! Continue reading
Even though 2017 was a pretty poor year for blog output (especially the second half of the year) it was an absolute stormer in terms of me playing games! Unfortunately for me and my Game of the Year, most (if not all) of these games were released too early to be considered for the title!
When I look back at those games that have stuck in my head, there is a real variety in genres, tones and content!

As regular readers are more than aware of by now, I hold back a few games each year in order to play through them over my Christmas holidays (being a teacher has its benefits – namely a 2 week break over Christmas). Sometimes I hold back these games purposefully because they are part of a franchise that I associate with Christmas (like Tomb Raider), and others just happen to be pushed into the backlog because I buy too many games and complete too few!
This year is no different; I have a list of games the length of my arm and choices are going to have to be made this Christmas. I am expecting to have a few family nights this year so – for perhaps the first time ever, my list is dominated with multiplayer games that I plan on enjoying with those nearest and dearest to me (the true meaning of Christmas gaming)!

Let’s keep the festivities going in MrJohnSherry’s absence!
