When Have You Taken A Day Off To Play Video Games?
I don't know if it's a universal thing, but in any office I've been at, you can generally spot who the gamers are by looking at the amount of annual leave that's banked up. For whatever reason, gamers tend to be the ones in the offices that rarely take annual leave, are generally the ones working over public holidays and Christmas ... until a major release comes out.
Six Hours In, Borderlands 3 Just Feels Like More Borderlands (And It's Kinda Busted)
Borderlands 3 is almost certainly the game that you think it is. Six hours in, a lot of my feelings remain the same as they were when I first played Borderlands 3 at an extended preview last month. In a lot of ways it’s a time capsule, in some ways embarrassingly retrograde in its sensibilities, and in other ways confident that its central draw of shooting and looting always was and will continue to be enough. Because of how little the franchise has changed, the best way to know if Borderlands 3 is for you is to boot up one of the previous games in the series and see how well it works for you today.

Kerbal Space Program FTW
Not saying it doesn't deserve to be here [it rocks!]. But how do we class games like KSP? It wasn't released this year. There have been a constant stream of releases for the last several years. But then, *technically* they have all been beta releases, so it's not really fully released anyway.
Are we just going off the addition to Steam as a "release"?
Torn between Gunpoint and Monaco. Gunpoint was hilarious and fun. Monaco was hilarious and fun, but more so when I could get three other friends online to play.
I got really invested in Papers Please. For something so simple, it's quite a powerful game.
The Stanley Parable also deserves a mention.
Not to mention disgusting.
I vote for The Cave.
Come on. Seriously? Rogue Legacy or Stanley Parable?
I spent well over 20 hours on Rogue Legacy and beat it, and that was ridiculously fun.
However Stanley Parable was super interesting and funny as hell
No Brothers?
I voted for Gone Home. Really enjoyed piecing together the story here and triggered all kinds of '90s flashbacks for me.
I want to say Wolf Among Us, but it's really hard to judge by just one episode.
Really surprised that Brothers: Tale of Two Sons isn't on the list. Sure it had a silly name but was one of the best games I've played, ever.
Because of no Brothers, vote goes to Thomas Was Alone.
Haven't played any of those, although I hear great things about Papers Please.
Quite liked Contrast, not perfect but had a nice balance of mechanics, story and art style for me.
Umm Call of Juarez: Gunslinger not on the list? Such a good game. NO VOTE FROM ME. CoJ was way better than Monaco, Runner 2, I abstain!
State of Decay ofr me. Was the zombie game I've always wanted.
The Swapper is criminally underrated. Great visuals and atmosphere, unique mechanics with challenging puzzles, and an interesting storyline. I know it probably won't win this category, but people, check it out!
I cant see the results today
Stanley parable is an easily my favorite this year, I spent way to many hours annoying the hell out of the narrator.
So many games....I voted for Kerbal - yeah it gets boring at times but making hilarious rockets and see if it launch and get you into space is always fun
