As another year comes to an end, it’s once again time to rank video games. Just like every year, my top ten list follows a few simple rules. One, and most obvious, to be eligible, I have to have actually played the game. That means that if you don’t see a really big release on this list anywhere, there’s a good chance I simply didn’t play it. Two, remakes are allowed, but remasters are not. Every year the difference gets a little murkier, but this year, no remakes or remasters actually made the cut, so it doesn’t matter too much. And third, the game needs to be released in 2025, based on its first release in the United States. This one didn’t actually end up being a factor this year either.

Sorry to do another short post so soon, but today is Thanksgiving. I was very busy with both work and family time today, so I just don’t have time to do a real post today. But as I’ve said before, when I started this challenge, I never specified how long the posts would be. Every once in a while, I was going to have to do one of these. But hey, enjoy your mashed potatoes, your green bean casserole, your pies, and your family. Happy Thanksgiving, and I’ll have something much longer tomorrow!
