Golf Club tho.  I'm intrigued.

Only bother if you want a pure golf simulation. No bells or whistles, just average graphics, perfect physics and a hard challenge.

I remember when Fuzzy Zoeller's three-shades-of-green flybys were cutting edge, golf is golf.  Has it got a snap though?  Never liked the modern PGA analogue swing.  Shoud've grabbed it when it was £11.99, can't justify more than that when I haven't finished the MG dlc.  Will pick up a cheap disk copy at some point.

Djornsons Top 5

In a similar way to Speedhaak, i find that the actual game is only one factor in whether it makes it in to my top 5 or not. A huge factor is just sheer luck that particular game happened to hit me at a particular time in my life.

5) Trials HD
Because of Badgers. Getting up extra early in the morning to get a couple of hours of trials in desperately trying to beat a forumites time and climb up our competition ladder. I was average as far as the forum went but fuck it made me get good compared to my friends. Fingers still remember how to play. Fiance's brother is playing through Fusion now, he spends hours setting a time, i play for five minutes and beat it. Great game.

4) Counter-Strike
I remember being amazed by the fact i could play online against other real people. This was way back in the days of original Counter-Strike with 56k modems, you were a god if you had ISDN, my friends were playing mega drive or something couldn't even comprehend online videogames. Between the ages of 9-13 my brother and I didn't get on. Then one day he found Team Fortress Classic which later lead to Counter-Strike. It absorbed us both. We had to take it on turns on the PC, he would play for 3 hours while i watched then we switched. It was just an amazing game, we got broadband, we got in a clan, we started pwning noobs.

3) Dark Souls
Because Dark Souls

2) Halo
I was still playing Counter-Strike. I thought Halo was shit and slow. I started hanging out with a new group of mates. They loved Halo. 16 player LAN party at one of their houses complete with huge CRT TV's. I was sold. I bought an Xbox. I'm not going to bother describing why Halo is an awesome game

1) World of Warcraft
Where to begin. I am glad i played World of Warcraft, i will remember certain experiences from the game forever. I didn't really know what it was when i started but i remember reaching the first big city and wow, it was so atmospheric, so much atmosphere lied ahead. I spent something like 320 days actual days playing. I never reached highest level. I'm literally insane. After my initial hit of amazingness my guild disbanded and i kept making new characters searching for how good that could be. I'm not really selling it am I. My favourite memory is making it on to the world of warcraft europe front page. I had joined the very first roleplay + player versus player server as a Tauren. I joined a Tauren guild and we had an inter-faction rivalry with a Troll guild. We decided we were going to go attack the night elves in their home city. On the way we saw the trolls who conveniently had the same idea at the same time. (Obviously the guild leaders were organising each other.) I shouted something like 'for now trolls we fight together' and my character with that speech bubble was immortalised on the website. We made it to Ashenvale and everything was strangely quiet. We got to the Night Elves home city and suddenly out of nowhere thousands of night elves materialised. (they had a special ability to go invisible.) They murdered us all. It was fun.

Top five seems too few.

Also, this.

My head is too boggled today but my top 3 haven't changed since the mid to late 00s.

Also, Destiny 2.0, definite 2015 GotY for me.

Not possible as not a game release on its own. Indeed, I could play 2.0 on just last years destiny:)

Grinding, always online, DLC required. Yeah sounds like this gen. If it was broken as well then it would be definitive.

I could have the 2.0 loot updates indeed.

When I loaded it up on bono without ttk it said "welcome to 2.0"

And when was this?

Im def not putting in anything on this gen, not even things like Splatoon which has been my most played game this year, because I dont think ive had the critical distance and settling time. Only the way I see it, but thatll def be in my logic.

Bayonetta 2, though. Easily best game of 2014 with no contest and one of the best ever.

So this year.

GotY!
