Butcher – Games of 2016
I will admit defeat when I know I can’t win. Butcher is mean. Butcher is brutal. Butcher is a tough as nails 2D version of my favorite 3D arcade shooters. I didn’t think it was possible for a platformer to feel like it belongs in that genre. It never stops and never lets you breathe.…

Gears of War 4 – Games of 2016
Gears of War 4 did not deserve the ridicule that I was heaping on it from the second I first saw gameplay video. Sometimes I just get defensive of my favorite franchises and want them to strive for better over striving for more. Gears of War 4 made me realize that more is more than…

Super Mario Run – Games of 2016
So much anticipation. So much hysterics. So much hype. In the end, Nintendo made a fun, dynamic mobile game. On the surface, it is a simple runner where you can jump and spin your way to the familiar flagpole at the end of the level. Dig a little deeper and you find challenging puzzles that…

Ratchet and Clank – Games of 2016
This new generaton of consoles has exceeded my expectations, but it’s still kind of weird that it took a reboot of one of my favorite games to really smack me across the face with what my PS4 was capable of. Ratchet and Clank is flat out gorgeous and still as fun as ever. It actually…

2016 Games of the BGRadio – The List
Wow, what a year of big highs and huge lows! I’m talking about the video games of 2016, of course. As a self-described variety gamer, the upside is that my highs way outnumbered the lows. I’d go so far as to call it a "year of gaming positivity", a major victory. So much so that…

2016 Games of the GiffTor – The List
My 2016 in gaming is probably best described as your junior year of college where you experimented and tried new things you probably won’t tell your kids about. Ever. Like that time I played 82 hours of a 4 year-old game. It was also known as the Year of No Chill, a moniker which goes…

Titanfall 2 – Games of 2016
It feels good when your hopes for a game come together. I wasn’t exactly invested in the Titanfall franchise to the point that it could disappoint me, but damn it felt good to see Respawn shine. The bonus for me was that I got to play a pretty cool buddy adventure with a bad ass…

Stephen’s Sausage Roll – Games of 2016
I mean, I don’t know what I expected. How could I? The only thing I had to go on was that Stephen’s Sausage Roll was a "fun but difficult puzzle game." I couldn’t even tell what was happening in the screenshots, but I was intrigued nonetheless. It turns out that I needed a dose of…
