    It was a great year for indies. So many fantastic games. Bastion has amazing narration, Gemini Rue reinvigorated adventure genre, To the Moon with its heartwrenching storyline… but for me, Frozen Synapse was the best. That’s the most engaging tactical game I played in years.

    Absolutely love Cipher Prime games. Great challenge.

    Pulse volume 1 Is truly awesome. The graphic is clever, beautiful and delightful to watch as you play the game. As for the music they certainly keep you on your toes and after playing the game you can’t help but walk away humming the tunes. There is sure to be one or more that becomes your favorite. Cipher Prime you guys rock!! You guys deserve this! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!!!

    I really loved Bastion, however i couldnt help but think they built upon “the night of the cephalopods” released a few years back..

    Wtf? Why is there no Terraria? I call bullshit

  • Carol Kibler

    Nitronic Rush Rocks!

  • GORE

    ROCHARD. Nuff said.

  • Jordan

    I would of voted Terraria hands down of it was on here but the game of the year I would say is Frozen Synapse. It may be overlooked but is extremely fun to play and requires massive amounts of strategy.
