The Gamerscore Gamer's Game of the Year 2016 (3 Games)

I have played many games over 2015 and I have selected my personally favorites. Here in no particular order are the best games of 2015.  ( also, not all of these came out, in  2015 but they still made the list because I played them in 2015) I have played many games over 2015 and I have selected my personally favorites. Here in no particular order are the best games of 2015.  ( also, not all of these came out, in  2015 but they still made the list because I played them in 2015)
Rocket League  (2015)



 There is only one sport game that made me feel like a Rocket Car flying through the air, That is Rocket League. This game was heart pounding and intense and with games being so short. I could play a couple games before work either way Rocket League was amazing in every since of the word.
The Wolf Among US (2014)
When I heard of The Wolf Among Us, I shrugged. This might of helped it because when I did play this game with the "ridiculous sounding premise". I was utterly blown away. The story was good, the Art style was awesome and it was interesting. I wanted to get to the bottom of the case and I wanted to change the way that people look at Bigby Wolf. I think in the Year of First person shooters with no story, I think it was really refreshing to see a game, take a story to new heights
Batman Arkham Knight (2015). 
 This was the one game that I was iffie on. On one hand you have the best combat in a action game this year, the best performance of Mark Hamil's joker and the conclusion to the last generation's definitive superhero Franchise. With that being said it's not perfect. The twist sucked with the Arkham Knight and the Bat Tank was a begrudging OK. I still think this game is easily one of the best games of the year even with it's few faults.

Honorable Mentions 
Halo 5: Gurdians
This would made the top 3 but the story was tooooooo big of a jump from 4. The multiplayer was good.
Hotline Miami 2
This Game had a good shot but I didn't much care for some of the level and story changes compared to the first one..
Light Saber Espcape 
I think for the pontinel for the Technology is what make this game the honorable mention.. Now if the actual game would of been a tad bit more controllable and actual a real game, then  it could be serious talk of this game making it on the big boy list.
 Call of Juarez 
I am going to come out and say it. I love this game. It was in my top 3 for at least half the year. I would of kept it up their but then the summer happend and they only beat it on scale but this game was a lot of fun. Wheter it was constant twists, the fun gunplay and that artsyle was awesome.
Halo 2 Remastered 
 It took me until halo 4 to get into halo fully but with the modernization of Halo 2, that all changed.
This remaster changed the way I look at remasters, this took the game to new heights and it felt like I was playing a new halo and I enjoyed every Minitue..

Did the games you play this year make the list. What was your Game of the Year. Did it include a browser/phone hybrid. Either way I hope you enjoy 2016 gaming. I will be conduction a poll of the peoples game of the Year but if you want to see the most anticpated games mine and yours click below.

The Wolf Among Us: How I was Wrong


 Wolf Among Us 
 ESRP M17+
Price $25.00 
Reviewed on Xbox One 
Publisher/Developer Telltale Games

How I was Wrong. I played the Walking Dead Season 1 because everyone was talking about it but Honestly other than the Story I thought it was kinda of Mediocre. I really didn't enjoy playing through some parts of it. So when I heard The Wolf Among Us was coming out I wasn't to excited but once you get into it, you see that (personally)  Telltale has came along way from when, they released Walking Dead Season 1. I personally Believe that Wolf Among Us is far superior  in its flow and the way the story progresses.



Setting  2/2
The game is based on the Idea. That all of the fables (Cinderella, Tiny Tim etc...) have left their
happily ever after. It truly a unique set up and I really never found those stories to interesting but Wolf Among Us changes all that. The way the world is built up is so interesting because you these mythical being trying to scrap by New York and the way they interact in these  situations is really cool because its puts them in situations , that we wouldn't dream of seeing them in.


Story/Setting 2 points 2/2
 Now lets get on to the actual story. Light Spoilers You play as Bigby Wolf , Hes the the Sheriff in Fable Town. Bigby and Snow White investigate a Murder. The first one in fable town in along a time. This puts a huge amount of pressure  on Bigby and Snow White to Solve this murder. Bigby sort of a lone wolf type of guy. He seems to be a troubled guy , who puts in a lot of work for no payoff. He lives in the Dumpiest apartment in Fabletown. There are a lot of twists and turns in the Wolf Among US. The story flips table on you many times

Gameplay 2.8/3
The gameplay in Wolf Among Us, for the most part is enjoyable. I really liked being able to toss the people around a bit. I wish there was more consequence for messing up, there were a couple of times where, I missed a button press and nothing really happened. Don't get wrong it wasn't the worse thing for me because I'm mediocre at games but I still think there should be some type of difficulty. I always really liked the gameplay in the Telltale games some people complain about it but honestly I really like the flow  of it. It never feels pointless like in some games and the only reason you're fighting some guy is because of your actions not because villain magically comes back alive. It's nice for a game to have reason and not throw logic out the window. 

Performance -.8
I usually would not count this for a category but when the action picks up in Wolf Among Us the game chugs like no other. Usually what happens is that the game will get suck on one screen while the audio plays in the background. This is the one problem what took me out of the experience. It was the worst part of Wolf Among Us. 

Final Verdict  
  9/10  A Great Game:Sliver Rating:MUST BUY!
