News:: Stephen Turner's personal picks for Game of the Year 2016

“Well now everything dies, baby, that’s a fact,” sang Bruce Springsteen on “Atlantic City,” and while everything that dies likely won't come back, save for a zombie apocalypse, I hope you take solace in knowing all your passing icons live on in every song, photograph, and movie.

But hey, enough with the sourpussing. Let's talk about video games (or more specifically, why I’m skipping the likes of Uncharted 4). While I did play some big names this year, I thought it was best to pick out the underrated and the forgotten. I mean, let's face it, your favourite game probably dominates every list on the internet, so don't worry if you don't see the usual suspects posted here.
