    It has been a decent year full of good and bad releases and as the year ends and we reflect on all the playtime,achievements/trophies earned,rage and enjoyment. What's your game of the year(or games)?. If you'd like to break down your GOTY into one for each genre or the genres you play the most feel free to do so as well.

    Fighting: Persona 4 Arena - Anime fighter or not it's a game you should look into playing.

    Indie: Hotline Miami - Unforgiving,frustrating,tactical,awesome

    Shooter: Halo 4 - This is not a fanboy rant, I've played all current gen shooters and the multiplayer on halo 4 is what recharged my batteries not to mention the single player campaign is awesome in it's own right. I have full faith in 343 studios and can trust them with the halo franchise for two more games.

    Role Playing Game: Persona 4 Golden - When this game first released on ps2 at the end of ps2's life cycle I wasn't able to get a copy so when it was announced that this was being reworked for the PSVita I had to get a Vita and this, I've played all Shin Megami Tensei Personas except this and now I can say this is the JRPG/RPG of the year Persona 4 has so much packed into it and it never gets boring.

    Multiplayer : Natural Selection 2 - Intense matches,fast paced action,heavy strategy that's only the surface of this little gem I've been playing this game since it was in beta and now that it's launched everyone should check it out.

    Action RTS/Moba: DotA 2 - I started off this year hating this game thinking it was too slow and the world of glitches but eventually it grew on me, the hero positioning the strategy involved the overall pace of the game changed as I got into it more and now I have become a full fledged DotA whore again there are others such as League of Legends and HoN (Heroes Of Newerth) but I wont be going back I strongly believe DotA 2 is the future of Action RTS games.

    Strategy: X COM: Enemy Unknown - If you don't know the older X com games you are too young.. that has to be the excuse right? cause any older pc gamer should know of this great series am I right? right!. It's essentially an easier version of the unforgiving older X Com games but it works firaxis has done me and most gamers proud with this title it might go on sale for steams' christmas sale get it!.

    Left 4 Dead 2 Cold Stream is definitely the best DLC i played all year. Its an even better deal if you never played the original L4D as it also includes the original campaigns
