List of Games Beaten in 20151
New year, new list. I've made so many of these "games beaten in [year]" lists now that I've actually run out of things to say. I mean, it's all the games I beat in 2015. Tell you what: I'll keep this particular list free of Back to the Future II refe

Hoverboards & Humility: Pile of Shame '154
Though many are optimistic about next year, for whatever reasons they may have, I'm safely considering yet another year of plumbing the back catalog for games I missed out on. We gripe that there's so few games being released that A) are fun or B) ac

Game of The Year 2014 Users Choice0
Same list as GOTY 2014, just replicated for the Giant Bomb tracker thing. Check there for appraisals.

GOTY 20146
I guess it's time. After fourteen days of Go! Go! GOTY!, I think I'm finally prepared to render my verdict on the games released in the year of 2014 of the Common Era that I was fortunate enough to play. This list will be a little lacking, alas. Whil

PAL By Comparison8
I made a list some time back that looked at games I very much wish could receive PAL releases. I could've made that list a lot longer by including games that were already given localizations and released in the US. It's a fairly common and discouragi

One of These Days, Alice...3
Hola, lunatics and lunachicas. I've sometimes found that a game, when faced with a self-imposed challenge to continually raise the stakes with its narrative, usually settles on one place in particular that's sort of in the local vicinity but really n

Super Famicom's Super Also-Rans1
I really just have this list as a notepad file for my own reference, but I figured it might be of some interest to people: These are all the Super Famicom (and the very few SNES) games that I've added to the wiki, as part of an ongoing quest of mine

Knave-iators of The Air Corsair Corps2
Sky pirates, was what I was going for there. Though they occupy a mid-point between sea pirates and space pirates, air pirates are perhaps the most fun of any of the pirate phyla. At the very least, they seem to pop up a lot whenever a JRPG features

Tales in Ten6
After beating Tales of the Abyss, the seventh game from Namco Bandai's RPG series that I've seen through to its conclusion, and writing up an extremely long blog about the game and my opinions on it, I've realised something: that for a lot of people

The Cut of Courage6
Sometimes all it takes is a symbolic gesture to prove your resolve, and your desire or need to change who you are. Since most video game characters aren't adept at shapeshifting or creating fake IDs (with the obvious exception of that one guy from Pa

The (Near) Infinite Indie Information Inquiry Index0
Assignment: an (assuredly assonance-heavy) assembly that assiduously assimilates all my Indie game assessments, to the assumptive assistance of my Giant Bomb associates. Yes, I realize that sounds like a lot of ass, but I simply figure that after pla

Prepare For Trouble, Make It Double2
While Team Rocket's James makes strides in the WVGCW as the most dangerous manager ever to grace the pseudo-pseudo-sport, I figured we'd take a look at famous duo bosses from the world of video games. These guys always attack as a pair, and whether t

Home, Steel Home1
It seems I've started a Cool RPG Cities themed list series around here. I posted one semi-recently about cities trapped in permanent night, and there's another municipal trope I'm always happy to see in a game I'm playing: that of the city made almos

List of Games Beaten in 20140
The fifth one of these. Soon I'll have been reminiscing about the games I've beaten on Giant Bomb for half a decade. That's... yeesh. Let's see what mischief I got up to this year, shall we? (New for this year: Rankings! This list is almost useful co

GOTY 20139

Shameageddon 2014: The Chagrinening1

The Future of Law Enforcement3

Permanently Post-Meridiem Municipalities7
I don't even know what you'd call that type of wordplay. Alternating assonance? I think the technical term is "a bunch of words stuck together". But yes, this is a list of video game cities that seem to be stuck in a perpetual night. Often there's a

Japanese Role Playing Games: I've Played a Few More8

In Memoriam: Ryan Davis25

Ornithophobia2
For some reason video games really don't like birds too much. There are exceptions, of course, such as the plucky (as it were), invicible and psychopathic Cuccos of Legend of Zelda, but there are far more sequences in games (or just entire games) tha

Finally, a Boss "Final Boss Theme"-Themed List0

That's MS. Pirate To You2
