Each year we try to point out some of the games, people, and
resources in the gaming world we think are worth looking into –
whether they came out this year or they just did something
special that grabbed our attention above everything else in the
wide world of options. Sadly, as Jeff has had to deal with a lot
of family issues this year, his experiences were drastically
limited. He’s sitting this one out to spend just that much more
time with his family while Daniel and I wax on about games.
