2017 will probably go down as a very good year in gaming. We got a new 3-D Zelda game, a new 3-D Mario game, 2-D Sonic and Metroid games…heck, we even technically got a new Animal Crossing game! Well, we also got a new Bubsy game, but let’s try to stay positive. It was a way better year in gaming than 2016, anyway. So now it’s time for my Best Games of 2017 Awards Show! Keep in mind that no outside opinions went into the making of this list. It’s just my own picks. And if a game is missing from my list, it either didn’t appeal to me as much, or I just simply haven’t played it yet. Can’t play all the games out there, you know! And I did kind of break the rules with my Game of the Year award, so expect some surprises. Anyway, let’s get started!
Can you believe this year is already half over? What I like to do this time of year is write about the best games of the year so far. Everyone is all excited over recent E3 announcements, and most of the really good titles come out during the Christmas season at the tail end of the year, and the games that come out earlier tend to be forgotten. So this is where those games get their due. Keep in mind that no outside opinions went into the making of this list. It’s just my own picks. And if a game is missing from my list, it either didn’t appeal to me as much, or I just simply haven’t played it yet. Can’t play all the games out there, you know! Luckily I have to say that this year we’ve already gotten way better games than we did at this point last year, so that’s a good thing. Anyway, without further ado, welcome to Cary’s Best Games of 2017 SO FAR Awards Show!
Well now that the excitement of last week’s E3 has died down, hopefully we can all get back to ‘normal,’ so to speak. So how about kicking back and relaxing while reading some of my most recent reviews at GamerDad.com? Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a comment or two. I’d really appreciate it. First off is a slew of LEGO Dimensions packs followed by one of the weirdest Taito game combos I’ve seen in some time!
By now you have probably opened all of your presents and are wondering what else to do with your day. Since you can’t go to the theater to watch The Interview (topical!), why not kick back with some eggnog and listen to the Nerds Without Pants have an exhaustive discussion about some of our favorite music from the seventh console generation? And yes, I realize that I blundered when I brought up BioShock Infinite. We were almost 4 hours into recording, so cut me some slack! Happy Festivus! EDIT: You can thank Angelo for pushing to get this episode out early for you Christmas Eve travelers. Enjoy!
Well, we have the family gathered for Sunday and my parents are watching PBS. This show called Endeavour is on via something called Masterpiece Mystery!, and my mom thought this one singer sounded like Adele. Dad and I said no, and she got upset, cause last time I told her she was wrong about something like this, I was wrong, and in both instances dad sided with me, cause I'm seen as the "media expert" in the household I guess, what with my Radio/TV degree and the fact I was reading movie reviews at age three.
