I work for Amazon, so you can just imagine how busy the holiday time of year is. And good luck with that grad work! I know that can't be easy.

I had never heard of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons but it's going to be a free game next month on PlayStation Plus, so I'm definitely going to download it.

Nice awards show, Cary, and no commercials! Your picks were a little predictable but that's just because we all know what you like. And I'm glad you included so many runners up. Nice to be reminded of what came out this year lol. And I just downloaded Duel Destinies tonight. I love the Phoenix Wright games, so I'm really looking forward to playing this one, especially since Phoenix is the main character again.

I'd love to hear the conversations that brought them to these choices. I kind of balk at GTA V as GotY but I'm cynical and don't like those kind of games anyway lol. But I've played, like, three of these, so what do I know?

Congrats on finishing SMT IV! I hate having games just hang over my head. I'm going to start some new games in the new year too, and hopefully finish some ones that have been long overdue for a playthrough. Mass Effect 3 is first on my list.

And here's another game I have but haven't played lol. I bought Shin Megami Tensei IV (and actually played it) and decided to grab this for the $30 eShop credit. I always found Fire Emblem intimidating because of the permadeath but I do plan on playing this one...eventually.

We picked this up as soon as the price dropped but neither me nor my wife has played it yet. I'm amazed at all the bad press it got when it came out because all the real people I've talked to about it have really liked it.

I've only played the original Devil May Cry (though the third one is sitting in my backlog) but I've wanted to play this new one. It's coming to PS+ next month, so I'm pretty excited to try it. And yes, I love short games now. Give me 10 hours of concentrated awesome and I'm happy.

I'm going to try to do a list like this if I have time but it will be pulled from the games I played this year, and a lot of those didn't actually come out this year lol

There are some crazy control options available, let me tell you! You can use GameCube controllers but we sold our Wii when we got a Wii U, so that wasn't an option for us  But you can just turn the remote sideways, like an NES controller, and then you just have to shake the remote to throw grenades and that actually works really well. And all the games are in free play mode anyway, so it's not like it matters that much lol

Awesome. I bet she'll be talking about it for years to come
