Welcome to my Game of the Year Extravaganza. Last year, I went through my honorable mentions then dug into my top ten games of the year. This year will be a little different. I am not talking about my honorable mentions and instead will be spending one day on each of my Top 10 games.

Rise of the Tomb Raider : The rebooted Tomb Raider was an excellent start to the series and I really enjoyed what was going on with the gameplay and the story, even if that part got a little weird real fast. This game takes e...
Welcome back to my GOTY countdown for 2015. Today I’ll continue my list with the 10th-6th best games of the year. I will warn you that this will be long so buckle in for some decent(maybe?) longform writing about video games. These games are in order from 10 to 1.

Welcome to my Game of the Year Blog. This will take place in two parts that will be done over the course of two days. The first day will be my honorable mentions, which are games that I played this year but didn’t think warranted being put into my actual Top 10. Tomorrow will be about my Top 10 games of the year. So, let’s get to the honorable mentions. These are in alphabetical order. GOTY Hon...
He always says his name twice when going to the ring 1) Money in the Bank Ladder Match: The people involved are Jeff Hardy, King Booker, Finlay, CM Punk, Mr. Kennedy, Matt Hardy, Randy Orton and Edge. The match itself is a great one that gets the show off to a great start. Some of the big spots are with the main culprits (Edge, Matt and Jeff) and they are great. One of the best ones is when Jef...
Welcome back to my somewhat scheduled look back at the 10 best Wrestlemanias of all time, as chosen by Wrestlecrap.com. Today, their number 8 choice: Wrestlemania 22 Carlito and Chris Masters vs. Big Show and Kane (c) for World Tag Team Championships : We start off with me being sad because there was a time when Big Show and Kane were enjoyable to watch in the ring. Carlito is always enjoyable...
The beginning of my new series is here. How it will work is I will just go through each match and discuss my feelings about each match. At the end, I'll give it a rating out of 5 Run GFBs. Wrestlemania VIII (1992) This is at the end of Hogan's run with WWF at the time so they had a double main event of Hogan facing Sid Justice and Ric Flair defending the WWF Title against Macho Man Randy Savage...
It seems like everyone is doing a blog series these days so I wanted to get in on it. My fandom of wrestling is known but not well known. Wrestlemania 31 is coming up and I have wanted to continue to grow my knowledge of the WWE and this is my chance to do so. I'm going to begin watching through the 10 best Wrestlemanias as decided by wrestlecrap.com. I'll be doing it from #10 to #1. I'll do it...

If you've missed any of my other blogs for Game of the Year, check them out here: #8 , #9 , #10 and HM Tomb Raider This game was one of the best surprises of the past year for me.

Dead Rising 3 My history with this series is also one where this is the first one that I played. I did try out Dead Rising but not enough to truly decide if I liked it or not. I can say that I really enjo...
Here we go. The main event is starting now. These blogs will feature one game per day with my thoughts about the game, why I enjoyed it and hopefully get across why it is one of my Top 10 games of the year. So, without any more delay, my Game of the Year blogs continue with #10: Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition Some background is in order to start off this entry. I had not played any Diablo game...
So, this year was the year where I actually played more than 10 games throughout the year. I'm limiting this to my Top 10 as well as 5 Honorable Mentions. This post will be about the 5 HMs and then each day going forward will be about one game on my list. All of these games were played either in an Xbox 360 or an Xbox One. The version will be specified next to the title. Since these are games t...
Top 10 Games of the Year 2012 So, it's time to finally put my top 10 list together after the new year is over a week old. I wish I could have done this last year but I did not have the time to do it until now. So, without further ado, here is my top 10 games from 2012, listed in order from 1 to 10. One more thing: The Walking Dead is not on this list because I did not start playing it until the...
At this moment, I am downloading League of Legends right now and I feel that I will either play this game for a long time or just play it for a day and then quit. I have been interested in LoL and DoTA and other games like that for a while but I didn't know how I would get into them. Since it's free to play, I felt that it would be a good thing to at least try and then delete it if I don't like...
So, it's been since the first week in January that I have done a blog post and I felt that it was time to bring one to you, my followers. In the past 8 months, we have gone through the summer movie season, the Great Gaming Drought of 2011 and are about to start the Gaming Monsoon of 2011 as well. Let's get started. In the world of video games, I have been somewhat busy and in other ways not bus...
So, felt like doing another blog to let everyone know what's been happening since my last post about a week ago since a lot has taken place since then and that one was just looking at one thing I had done. In video game news, I have been playing through all of the DLC in Mass Effect 2 since it was on sale during Microsoft's runup to New Year's Day event. I beat all of them since I got them and...
So, it's that time for everyone to put together their list of games that are the best of the year. Without further ado, here is my list: Best of 2010 1. Mass Effect 2 The best game of 2010, this game took everything that was great about the first and fixed all of the things that were messed up about the first as well. Not many sequels do that and that is why this game is the best game of 2010....
Welcome to another edition of my ramblings on video games and other stuff. My life in video games has been limited to one game and one game alone. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood has totally taken over my gaming time recently and I don't even feel sad about that. I finished the story and man, does the ending of that game seriously mess with your mind. I won't spoil it for anyone but suffice it to...
Well, it has been a long time since I wrote a blog so it seems like it is the perfect time to do so. In video game news, the I have been playing some older games recently. The oldest has been Command and Conquer 3 for the 360. I really enjoy playing that game since I got back into it but I do know that if I was playing it on a PC, I would be enjoying it even more. The controls, while very easy...
Well, it's been a while since I posted a blog, so let's get caught up with what I've been doing. Gameswise, I have been playing a lot of Battlefield 1943 and Lego Rock Band. In Battlefield, I have 91 games played so I'm just 9 games away from an S-Rank in it. Lego Rock Band, on the other hand, I am working on playing through every set in the game, which will take a really, really long time but...
Since others are talking about Leigh Alexander's second go round on the podcast, I might as well blog about it myself. So, if you will, lets take a short trip back to the past and then we will move forward to the less past. When I listened to the podcast from last E3 with Leigh on it, I hated her with a passion. She was a total fool and overpowered everyone else who was on the podcast. She was...
Since I am now almost 20 hours into the game, I thought I would give some thoughts as to what I think of the game. If you want the short version and don't want to read my entire post, here it is: Get this game. It is awesome. Now, to some details about the game. Story I am now into Act 3 and almost done with the missions in the city you go to there. Since I am trying to do this spoiler free, I...
Well, a few weeks ago I had the grilled Double Down and I have to say it is not that good. The original recipe is way better so if you plan on getting one, definitely go for the original recipe one. The grilled one is way to salty and that just overpowers the other flavors.
Well, we are now in June so it's time for another installement of Time To Get Pumped. This week has no good movies whatsoever and we are sad that Ryan Davis has no movies to see this week. At least he works for a video game website so he can play video games instead and also get wasted most likely. Next week, however has my most anticipated movie of the summer, The A-Team. It looks like it will...
Today in the US is Memorial Day, where we use it to honor all of the veterans of our great country who have served our country. I would strongly suggest that if you live in the US and you know of a veteran, thank them for what they have done or are still doing. They fight to keep us free so it is the least we can do. Have a great Memorial Day and long live the United States of America.
Man, looking for a real job is hard work. I have been putting out teacher applications these past few days and I am going crazy. Fortunately, I'm already nuts so it's not a big deal. However, the saving grace is that many of the districts I have applied to use the same form for their applications so I don't have to fill all of my info in again. I have put in 14 apps in one week and if I can kee...
Well, my Pro died from the E74 bug and I didn't feel like getting it repaired again. I got an Elite and I got the one with Forza 3 and Halo:ODST with it. I am really loving Forza and I got to play some of the Reach beta but not any of the actual game. I also picked up Red Dead Redemption today and I am really enjoying it so far. I have finished up the Bonnie missions and I could not lasso a dam...
This being my first movie review here, I thought I would go with one that came out, well, yesterday. This review will be some of my random thoughts about the movie, the characters, how the movie moves from point to point and also discussing some of the important parts of the movie that will affect how Marvel movies of the future will play out or how I think they will play out(this part will be...
Why do you ask? It's almost summer movie season, that's why. After last summer, which was not that good, we are now in store for what I believe will be an amazing summer for movies. I won't go through every week but these are my picks for the movies that everyone should see, starting with the month of May. The first movie is, of course, Iron Man 2. It looks like they did a really good job of ke...
Well, last night I had the Double Down and it was truly delicious. I thought that it would either be truly awesome or truly awful. Fortunately, it was truly awesome. I am so glad it was delicious and if you love chicken, cheese and bacon, you definitely need to try this sandwich.
I was playing this game earlier today and was loving it. I really enjoyed it and I still think it was the best game from last year. If you have not played it, you should definitely pick up a copy and play it. A great story and awesome combat that seems simple to use but is difficult to master.
Well, yesterday I completed 8 quests, including the limited edition quest. Today? Who knows how many I will complete.
Well, I feel like my blog page shouldn't be empty any longer so it is time for my inaugural blog here on Giant Bomb. Well, I'll start this off by saying that I started playing Bioshock and got about 2 hours or so into it and I must say that I don't really like it that much. I had heard so many good things about it and I really wanted to play it. A friend of mine let me borrow it and I started p...
