That was a good gaming year all in all! Some great memories from my late teenage years. I suprised myself a bit with my #1 and #2 games, we'll see if they make the cut.

@neocweeny Yes, the Double Agent version are vastly different. The older gen versions being the better ones.

Yo! What was the deal with Final Fantasy XII back then? It was released in NA in October 2006, but here in Europe in February 2007. What a weird thing to think about. So is FFXIII now eligible? Or I mean... it clearly is. But for me it's a 2007 game. This complicates things for my votes.

Edit. Same thing with Okami...

Yeah, this was a shitty race. Way too many unclear issues throughout the whole thing. And the hell were those offers? It was all just so... stupid. Like come on, be better at this, all of you involved.

@ozymandsss Heh, well thank you very much! :) This was a really nice surprise waiting here.

I tend to be a bit perfectionist in certain matters and games easily fall under that trait. The trophy lists can bug me a bit if there are unearned ones still left. I like taking a peek at trophy guides of the games I know I'm getting and then weigh in the pros and cons of going for the platinum.

Often when there are multiple playthroughs needed I give up and won't do it, like Lost Judgment just a month ago. No way I was gonna beat that long game twice. But for instance now I have Psychonauts 2 and Far Cry 6 in the "platinum process", it just takes time with them. I'll get there eventually. And Deathloop I've finished, but its remaining trophies seem easy enough to earn. At some point.

BioShock's an excellent video game, my #3 of that year. The world and the whole scenario is atmospheric as hell, and how you get to know all that as you journey through Rapture feels great. The audio tapes worked well back then (and I still have nothing against them in games nowadays) and the voice actors in general do really nice job throughout the game.

Excellent. My first PS3 game and it was from my favourite game studio. This started something extraordinary with the fellow named Nathan Drake. I've lost count on how many times I've finished this one (and the other Uncharteds), they're simply a joy to return to. I've platinumed the original trilogy twice and would do it yet again in a heartbeat if given another opportunity still.

Number 8? Wow, Kratos getting butchered here by you people.

I picked the game as my GOTY of that year. Simply an awesome mix of superb gameplay, rage-filled revenge story and always cool Greek mythology getting their heads cut off.

This one surprised me big time this morning. Things look goooood. And there's a lot different modes to be played. The fan favourite GM mode returns for the first time since the 2008 version. Haven't ever played it personally, but it does sound neat. And the graphics and the wrestlers themselves look really detailed this time around. I'm kinda hyped, to be honest!
