This past week Kotaku recapped the year that was in video games, on subjects both naughty and nice. And before we know it, seven days will have passed, and we’ll all begin working on another 365-chapter story of video games, how they’re made, and who plays them.
For now, we invite you to revisit these retrospectives. And we thank you for choosing to spend a part of this holiday with Kotaku. From all of us, happy holidays, and a very merry Christmas to you.

Goodnight 2009, hello 2010.
I’m going back to bed.

I’ll probably say the same in 2010, so either we’re on an upward trend or I can’t recall longer than 12 months :D

My game of the year would have to be… Arkham Asylum. But considering it was pretty much the only big new release this year that I’ve gotten my hands on it doesn’t have a lot competing with it. ;)
