This is a gaming post

Or rather a post about gaming, not an actual gaming post. I keep that under the bed and only pull it out for beatdowns. But I digress.

In gmail today it was proposed that we compile a list -- since that's what people do this time of year -- of our top ten games of 2005.

As it turns out, 2005 wasn't too shabby for gaming. Some of my favorite games of all time came out this year and were easily added to the "big list" in my brain of things that I remember fondly. Digital memories, so palpable they are.

Here you go.

Top Ten of 2005:

01 - Resident Evil 4 - GC
02 - Guitar Hero - PS2
03 - Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - Xbox
04 - F.E.A.R. - PC
05 - God of War - PS2
06 - Lumines - PSP
07 - Call of Duty 2 - PC
08 - We <3 Katamari - PS2
09 - Kingdom of Paradise - PSP
10 - Shadow of the Collosus - PS2


Honorable Mentions:

+ Counter Strike: Source - PC (new maps make it new)
+ Hotshots Golf - PSP
+ Quake 4 - PC
+ Mario Tennis - GC
+ Battlefield 2 - PC
+ Burnout Revenge - Xbox
+ Stubbs the Zombie - Xbox (for the multiplayer alone)
+ Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks - Xbox


Had I played them they'd prolly be on one of those lists:

+ SWAT 4 - PC
+ Psychonauts - PC/Xbox
