Reading the list, I wondered if Brothers would have been my choice, had I played it. Damn backlog.
Then there's Everybody's Golf. Those games are so awesome. Bought my PSP mainly for it, and it was part of the equation for the Vita.
Then I saw Towerfall and knew I had my winner. Best fun I've had on a game this year. Played it for hours, 2 or 4 players, there were simply more laughs, more rage, more epidermic reactions than there were when we played Mario Kart 8 or Smash Bros U, even with Nintendo die-hard fans. Props to Matt Thorson.
