PSF Game of The Year

[RainySunshine]

This topic will be used for our GOTY Award!

(It is a work in progress)

For a game to be nominated, it must have come out within said year.  Jan 1 through Dec 31st of the year of the award. 

If a game came out in 2014 but had DLC in 2015, it will also be allowed to be a contender for 2015.

The goal of this topic is for us to choose the top games of each year with our combined experienced.

So are we going to have to decide for all those years?  Thinking in hindsite might be fun, heh.

For this year we actually got a good mix of games including God of War, Read Dead Redemption II, and some others I can't think off the top of my head.

[Smiles2us]

So in theory, since Minecraft keeps getting updated, it could be in the running every year since its inception?

[Grapefoot]

Pretty easy list for 2018 of games that should be in the running.  It's the easiest to remember.

Red Dead Redemption 2
God of War
Detroit: Become Human
Shadow of the Colossus
Spider-Man
Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Am I missing anything?

[RainySunshine]

No not at all.  I think we should go year by year and discuss what we think should be the game of the year.

Pretty easy list for 2018 of games that should be in the running.  It's the easiest to remember.

Red Dead Redemption 2
God of War

Shadow of the Colossus
Spider-Man
Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Am I missing anything?

And lets also note that the best game doesn't have to be a triple AAA game.  It can be small games too.

[MasterXtreme]

I'm thinking for each year, people start putting down the games they feel deserve to be in the discussions for the top game.

[Anyponedrawn]

Lets keep building off these lists then start weeding out things as a group.

Do we want to choose a winner by console or maybe choose a top three each year?   I like the top three games idea.

[Miggs]

I'd say top three each year.
I'd personally include the original Dead Rising (2006) and original Dead Space (2008)

[Silverwing]

Thanks, I will add those.

Okay, so lets do the top three each year.  It might get too hard to pick just one.  Top vote getters maybe will be the winners.
