@Chowzburger

Bingo. Sometimes I feel bad for shoving it everywhere, but Nintendo is my preference and what I'm exposed to 99% of the time. And also, this is KYM, which is basically the opposite of the entire internet where Wii U users are a majority.

Game of the Year: Alien: Isolation. The best Alien game in the latest years. I wouldn’t say It was scary,(afterall, we all know how an Alien looks like) but it was tense!
Perfect soundtrack, outstanding graphics (lightning effects in special), good mechanics and good story. A great game!

Best Story: The Wolf Among Us. Technically, it ended this year. (FYI, I haven't played TWD season 2)

Disappointment of the year: Destiny. Were did all the content go?

DLC of the year: Don't Starve: Reign of Giants

Best villan: Pagan Min from Far Cry 4.

Honorable mention: Evove. I can't wait for the full game to come out next year. I think anyone who played the Big Alpha share this thought. I'M VERY EXCITED FOR THIS ONE.
