If anything, that's a very original list of Games of the Year. It's been a very busy year with a lot of good and awesome videogames, so picking a top 5 is a lot of trouble. Even if I try to pick 5 good games to be the best games of the year I will go through a lot of hassle.
What to pick? Bayonetta, Alan Wake, God of War 3, Mass Effect 2, Heavy rain, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Epic Mickey, Super Scribblenauts, Dead Rising 2, Limbo, Red Dead Redemption...I could go on but I won't XD This has been an awesome year for videogames, the best since 2007. I say that the TIME Magazine list is good as it is.
