I’m Jeffrey Rex’ Definition of a Game of the Year:
The Game of the Year isn’t necessarily the highest rated game of that specific year, but is instead my favorite game of that year. The Game of the Year is also the game that I felt was thought-out particularly well, the game that I felt had the best combination of entertainment, enjoyment, excellence and the game I still cannot forget.
This list includes games that I view as the games of the year, for a given period. This period begins from the year 2000, and will not go any further back. As of 2013 – these are official picks I’ve made in an award post (featured on my blog).
