Direct interference in a person's life does not enter our scope of activity, nor, on the other, tralatitiously speaking, hand, is his destiny a chain of predeterminate links: some 'future' events may be linked to others, O.K., but all are chimeric, and every cause-and-effect sequence is always a hit-and-miss affair, even if the lunette has actually closed around your neck, and the cretinous crowd holds its breath.

 It's OVERWATCH, that's the game of the year, period. It was also the game my PS4 playing pals and I agreed was the GOTY.

 The Rest.....

Dark Souls 3

Not an evolution...nostalgic to the first Dark Souls..still pure joy. Some of the best Co-Op gaming this year for me.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Best ending/epilogue to a series....best game ending this year...best game ending since Last of Us.

BioShock: The Collection 

It's Bioshock. Next year will mark a decade you've been listening to me talk about it, 'nuff said.

Dishonored 2

I don't want this game to end. Good thing you can/should/are meant to play it twice as the different characters.

WATCH DOGS 2

I really got into Mr Robot this year and this is kinda Mr Robot the game BUT it's the countless hours I've spent having fun in the seamless Co-Op and PVP modes that really got me. I even made it to Master in the leaderboards for Hacking Invasions which are so satisfying when pulled off. This was the "whatever I'll try this game...whoa its great....damn i'm obsessed" of the year for me.

Darkest Dungeon

An acquired taste of Art, Style, Lore and Game Play that finally made it to PS4 this year.

Invisible, Inc.

I thought my favorite strategy game of the year was going to be XCOM 2 but this one consumed me way way more. 

Forza Horizon 3

Best racing game since my second best fave racer Dirt 2. Honorable mention: The best racer ever, Burnout Paradise, is now backwards compatible on Xbox One. Finally!

Hearing this song on the Spiderman: Homecoming trailer reminded me of the best use of it, the finale for Skins, the original generation.
