I don't know much about musical theory, nor am I a musically inclined person. However, I do love to listen to video game soundtracks. They can be a powerful listening experiences in their own right, or be as evocative as the scores composed for film. Each of these posts will feature a sampling of music tracks from a single game title, or series/franchise in some rare cases. A complete list of these can be found on the Video Game Music page.

It was a relatively quiet N7 Day (November 7th) this year - no surprise there, however, Bioware did drop an interesting teaser poster for the next Mass Effect game which at first glance doesn't look like much, but upon further inspection contains many small details. Of note: The outline of a Geth is visible in the dirt. What appears to be an eezo crater and cracks resembling the lens and glare from a Geth head. Bodies resembling the Geth or Quarians are scattered around the disturbed areas. A new ship with the letters SFX printed on it. The Normandy was SR1/SR2.

If the Geth were destroyed in the red ending perhaps they are rebuilt, or an isolated group found a way to dodge the beam sent through the relays by hiding in dark space. In Andromeda, Suvi mentions how the Geth used a Mass Relay (the Kholas Array) as a make...

This year I played just enough new games to compile a single top 10 list. To clarify, these are not the "best and worst" games of the year. They are titles I enjoyed or was letdown by based on my own preferences and expectations. Most of the titles I disliked are not even what I would consider bad games, they just weren't for me or were not what I was expecting. I have ordered the list based on my own overall enjoyment (one being the best) of games I played in 2021. Most of the games listed here will not be brand new 2021 releases. They are games I played in 2021 that were new to me.

I have been wanting to do yearly top ten list for some time, but I either lost motivation or just didn't have the time. So, here is my (very late) top 10 list for my personal favorite and most disappointing games of the year. Better late than never. To clarify, these are not the "best and worst" games of the year. They are titles I enjoyed or was letdown by based on my own preferences and expectations. Most of the titles on my disappointing list are not even what I would consider bad games, they just weren't for me, or were not what I was expecting. I have ordered the list based on my overall dissatisfaction (one being the most disappointing) with the games I played in 2019. Most of the games listed here will not be brand new 2019 releases. They are games I played in 2019 that were new to me. See also, my Top 10 Favorite Games of 2019 Author's Note: I did not play enough games in 2019 to do a Top 10.
