The Full List of the TOP TEN GAMES OF LAST TEN YEARS As Nominated by Video Game PR People on ThankYouForGaming

top_art_tyfg top10games

For those who asked, here is the quick rundown on the games that made our Top Ten Games of the Last 10 Years, which we chose on a special episode of Thank You For Gaming on Twitch with our very special guest, Marcus Beer, The Annoyed Gamer.

[SEE THE FULL STREAM VIDEO AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE]

These are choices from current and former video game public relations people.  Can you believe there’s no Halo games represented? And no The Last of Us?? Do you agree? Disagree? Something missing? Something overrated? Let us know on our Facebook page… don’t worry, video game pr people can take it.

Couple interesting notes:

  • Five games appeared on TWO lists, but NO GAMES appeared on all three lists!
    • World of Warcraft, Borderlands, Minecraft, Bioshock, Left 4 Dead all were on 2 lists
  • We each chose a different #1 game — and NONE of those games appeared on someone else’s list, in ANY position
  • If we had made a “Top 12” list… World of Warcraft, GTAV and Skyrim would likely have appeared on all of our lists.

ON TO THE VOTES! Read more

GAMES OF GLORY Reveals More Epic Combat in Action-Packed New Gameplay Trailer

Independent developer Lightbulb Crew has released a brand-spanking new gameplay trailer for the upcoming MOBA Games of Glory, a game that looks to shake up all of these recently announced “me-too” MOBAs with a faster pace, a divergent free-aim system, unique gameplay styles, varied player roles, and much more.

This video shows off some of the progress made during development of the Alpha over the last few weeks.  As you will see in the vid, free-aim and strong inspirations from hack’n’slash games provide Games of Glory with tangible intensity and deep strategic decisions for teamwork throughout all game phases. Players can acquire rocket launchers, daggers, claws, two-handed swords, sniper rifles and more, and then take advantage of the enemy by customizing their clone to fit their own unique gameplay style.

Please take a peek and enjoy and see you in the arenas!
