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.

This post could likely be the last or second to last on my site. I'll probably just do one more later to tie up any loose ends. Why? I
should be switching to a real host in the very near future. This is the primary reason I haven't been updating the site. There is not much motivation to when I never get any comments, but I have a few good topics that I want to write about but I'm saving them for the new site. I've also been working on designing a WordPress theme, seeing as I'll be running WordPress 2.1 on it rather than 1.5 with Blogsome. That's not to say that Blogsome isn't great. It was the perfect thing for when I started out learning CSS, but now there are lots of things I want to do that I can't without a full installation. Plugins, Themes and all-around ...

"What's going on?" You might ask. Then again, you might not, I don't seem to have that many returning visitors. I've fixed up my blog, now what was previously spread between a home, gallery and blog page is now all on one page. The side bar may seem a little cramped, but I still think it looks better than before. I've also put all my links with the about page, seeing as some of the sites I link to I'm a member of, I thought it would be okay there. These last few days I've also been trying to actually 'learn' CSS, before it was not really so, I dunno, solid. I've messed around with a lot of stuff and I think I know what I'm doing a lot better. I also finally learned how to make buttons look different. Really, it was simple, I just couldn't figure how to ...
