Top 5 Games of 2016 (Game of the Decade Countdown)


By: Ryan Ramakrishnan

2016 is sort of the middle of the current console generation. It was a time for some games we had been seeing since the PS4 and Xbox One debuted. It was a year of many notably great sequels and reboots. And 2016 saw some of my favorite games of the generation in a year I didn’t realize was so packed. Sadly however I did also miss some of the best games released then so this list is, in theory, subject to change.

Top 5 Games of 2015 (Game of the Year Countdown)

By: Ryan Ramakrishnan

There are a few massive titles released in 2015 that just won’t be on my list. This is subjective after all. I do however love the games I will be talking about. I have fond memories of my favorite games ads you do your’s. So here is a list of the game I loved the most from one of the best years for released during the console generation.

Top 5 Games of 2014 (Game of the Decade Countdown)

By: Ryan Ramakrishnan

2014 was an interesting year for my gaming experience. Since I never even owned a Wii-U, I missed out on some of 2014’s greatest experiences, which I would later get on the Switch. I also didn’t play or just didn’t love a few of the most high profile games released that year either. But with all that being said, I did find myself enjoying some titles in 2014 immensely. So let’s go back to the first full year of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Top 5 Games of 2013 (Game of the Decade Countdown)

By: Ryan Ramakrishnan

As the final year of the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, 2013 was easily one of the best years in gaming. There are few years that have so many amazing releases across their 12 months. 2013 was a wonderful swansong for the seventh generation of consoles and it left me with plenty of favorites.

Top 5 Games of 2012 (Game of the Decade Countdown)

By: Ryan Ramakrishnan

Following the stellar year of 2011 and even 2010, I was wondering what games stood out in 2012. Then I looked it up and I was brought back to a year with some of my favorite experiences on the consoles at the time, though perhaps some quiet favorites, differing from most people. So with that, I am very excited to count down with you my favorite games then.

Top 5 games of 2010 (Game of the Decade Countdown)

By: Ryan Ramakrishnan

With the decade coming to an end in just a few days, it is time to look back on the many video games released. There were many titles that I enjoyed across most to all platforms from 2010 to this year. In fact, this decade is when I really got into gaming. So I have decided to break up this discussion into multiple countdowns. I will be writing a list for each year of the decade, counting down from 5 to 1, my favorite games of that year. So let’s take a trip back to 2010.

Who Should be Super Smash Bros Ultimate's Final DLC Fighter?

By: Ryan Ramakrishnan

With the SNK icon (or maybe not, depending on who you ask) Terry available for a bit now, it’s hard not to question who is going to be the next character to debut in “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.”

There have been many leaks suggesting some beloved characters are or are not in fighting chance (no pun intended) of making it into the roster. Wishful thinking is something I always do when it comes to such a topic though. So, let’s take what we have heard and put it aside, as only facts from the developers are what guarantees anything for sure. I’d like to do a countdown of 10 characters I most want to see appear in “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate” as the fifth DLC fighter.

The 2019 Games That Never Were

By: Ryan Ramakrishnan

This year saw plenty of hotly anticipated games release. We finally got a proper “Devil May Cry” sequel, “Borderlands” returned better than ever and Electronic Arts released a single player “Star Wars” game with no loot boxes or microtransactions. But 2019 had a lot of titles set to be out before the end of the year. As Thanksgiving is over and December is here, it is sad to see a list of games that are set for a 2019 release to have no release dates. It is pretty safe to assume they aren’t making that deadline afterall. These are some of those games.
