As editor of GameCritics.com and the host of the So Videogames Podcast – and also as a person who just generally loves videogames – I strive to sample as much of the industry as I can.
What’s the new hotness? What’s the current design trend? What’s everyone talking about?
I’m also always on the lookout for hidden gems or indies that fly under the radar, so it basically means that I try a ton of titles every year!
For anyone who’s curious what 12 months of plays looks like for me, here it is in the exact order that I played them. There are no notes (except if I rolled credits – that’s mentioned in bold) but you can hear my thoughts on nearly everything on the podcast.
Also, if you’re curious what my top 10 were after playing all of these, you can catch me counting them down on SVG episode 420.
