2012 Showies: Nominate your Game of the Year

If the Showies are known for one thing it's bucking the trend when it comes to game of the year. Sure the VGA's can try to ruin GOTY awards by giving it to The Walking Dead, but The Showies did that long ago. How could you forget the PSP Hamster game from the first annual showies? It was so shocking that AustinD left the show right after the announcement.

This year should be no different. Nominate the game that you think needs to be The Showies GOTY. Leave a comment below or use the hashtag #2012ShowiesGOTY. I can't put into words what my GOTY is, so I will just link to a video like most of my other posts.

But, you do get a handy skip option that solves this problem for those who want to get into the meat and potatoes of this game.  Super Bullet Break is broken up into 7 levels with unique themes inspired by different game genres. These themes have “bullets” that synergize to fight together. Bullets are what the games equivalent of cards are called. See each playthrough you begin with a premade deck consisting of cards, or bullets

Review: Just Die Already (PS4)

Image
Just Die Already is a game where you choose an old person to play as and cause mayhem around a sandbox area. The best way to describe it is, goat simulator but replace the goat with a boomer. That sentence will be the best rundown I can give for those who have played goat simulator. Otherwise read on to get an idea whether or not this game is for you.    Once you select one of four old people to play as. Your character is free to roam an open area with loose goals and objectives. There are puzzles and items you can interact with to cause crazy stuff to happen, and unlock new areas and objectives. Everything feels optional past the 5 minute point. Once you’re dumped into the world, you’re on your own. The exploration is one of the strengths of the game. It feels refreshing to have no tutorials or a large arrow pointing you to your next objective.  Another strength of the game is in its humor. This can also be a weakness depending on your brand of humor. Slapstick comedy is the central t
