This list is much longer than I intended, but I do play a lot of games. I was supposed to have one list for everything that happened this year, music movies, games, websites, and so on. I have to do the other things later, though, so here's the long games list. Let me know what you think of my picks, the full list is after the jump.
Downloadable Game of the Year
Band of Bugs (XBLA)
Band of Bugs is still my top-played Xbox Live Arcade game. I have really enjoyed Fire Emblem in the past, but it is a pretty heavy game. Band of Bugs is the perfect casual turn-based tactical game. It's colourful and has wonderful variety, a great selection of multiplayer modes and a stellar level designer. Band of Bugs was also the first game to fully utilize the Gamescore policy and add an extra three Achievements with downloadable campaigns, which were also great.
Honourable Mention
Carcassone (XBLA), Super Metroid (VC)
Carcassone is the perfect port of a board game to a video game. Super Metroid finally getting re-released was also a great gaming experience for me, as now my Metroid collection is complete.

Firstly, I should state the obvious. My plans to
navigate dotKenneth.com to a real hosting service are not going as quickly as planned. I'm going to work on it this weekend. Seriously. Progress on my WordPress theme has also been stalled after I realized that it sucked. Might have to use one that isn't my own until I finish a good one. This doesn't really bug me, the theme community is one of the appeals of WordPress.
A thought occurs to me at this point. I don't really know where this blog is headed. I suppose I could go into details on my sudden obsession with
Facebook. While I've been a member for a little while now, I've only become truly active within the past few weeks. Popularity of the site at my school is growing quickly, since the beginning of April we must have gained at least fifty ...

Browsing Digg yesterday, I came across
a funny article about (fake) rejected Xbox 360 Achievements. Inspired, I set out to create my own, complete with original images. They are all built off experiences of my own or ones friends have told me. This limited my choice of games and ideas, so there are only six right now, maybe I'll add more if I think of some good ones.
