With 2011 now behind us, let us reflect on the many great video games the year bestowed upon us.

"I'm still Batman!"

Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to RockSteady’s critical darling, Batman: Arkham Asylum. The original was a breath of fresh air, a comic book-based video game that not only did justice to its source material, but was a genuinely fantastic video game through and through.

As was the case with my movie awards, my award for best game will be presented in am upcoming “top ten countdown” post. This is a celebration of achievements such as “best visuals” and “best music.”

Without further ramblings, here are my Yammies for the video games of 2010! Read more

Super Meat Boy is an independent game created by Team Meat. A platformer, Super Meat Boy looks to create a unique take on platforming with a sharp difficulty. But does Super Meat Boy live up to its initials (Super Meat Boy, Super Mario Bros.)? Or is it a little too difficult for its own good? Read more

I bet you thought I forgot about my video game awards didn’t you? Well I didn’t, I was just slow at getting to them…sorry. You can thank all the other updates I’ve had since my movie awards as well as several yet-to-be-published ideas I have for future posts (like those oft-procrastinated Best of the Decade things….).
