It was almost lucky dip back in the day. Even games that had big reputations like Chakan or Alien 3 would turn out to be crap, and you would have spent £40 on it, which would be a whole month's earnings from your paper round. I think kids don't realise how much this industry is based on snake oil. Nowadays people expect every game to be good!!!

@MinerWilly The courses you unlock through the game are better than the dlc courses.

She would say that. It was her game that got cancelled, so of course she blames external forces. Can't be that she wrote a naff story.

@doctommaso I don’t think so. DriveClub is a shallow racing experience compared to GT. DriveClub is basically obsolete. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone over GT.

@get2sammyb C'mon Sammy. DriveClub is not a better racing game than Gran Turismo Sport.

lol no

@get2sammyb PS3 Twisted Metal was great. You could play the whole story mode with couch coop, and the online multiplayer was a refreshing change from other deathmatch games. Car combat games are still cool IMO.

@themcnoisy Social Justice Warrior

@KingSandyRavage "Donkey Kong Country: Jungle Freeze - the best platforming game ever made, played by about 10 people." Those are quite the sales figures.

@KingSandyRavage So how do you populate your friends list? You're naming games that are a long way off. All you've seen of those games is a logo. Donkey Kong County: Jungle Freeze is not the best platforming game ever made. First of all, it's a Donkey Kong Country game...

@KingSandyRavage Nah. People still want powerful games consoles under their big screen TVs. The Switch is going to have a difficult second year anyway. Nothing special coming out, and they need to fulfil their promise of an online service, and you know what Nintendo is like when it comes to online. They still use friend codes!!!

@ShogunRok +1

48% says other. Good list.

Lists: PushSquare are bad at them.

@Cpt_Price GT Sport isn’t even one of the top 50 best PS4 games of 2017, how can you expect them to represent it here? Racing games suck. Also Sleeping Dogs rules! Much better than GTAV!!!

@Neolit GT's exclusion is a travesty.

@get2sammyb Gran Turismo Sport is number 21 on Eurogamer's reader's list. Sure, it's a different readership. but the fact that none of your editors could vouch for it in any way is disappointing to me. It's an equally good game in its genre to any of your darling games.

No Gran Turismo Sport. That’s weak. Get in new editors this year. You all like the same games.

Sony is the best.

@mookysam That's annoying. I guessed you would know that the down button cycles the icons appearing on the map, but thought I would check just in case.

VITA NEVER DIE!!!

@mookysam Have you tried pressing the down button?

I don't see how a game is more likely to plant a dangerous seed than a film or book.

@Ralizah That's an interesting opinion.

@themcnoisy It's a Metroidvania without the platforming. It's good.

@ShogunRok Oh is that what the Panda game is? I hoped it would be a typical 3D platformer.

@Rudy_Manchego Don't worry. He's just here to tell you that the game runs at 30 fps because it's more cinematic.

Finally! I wanted this on release but wanted to wait for it to be released on PS4. What took them so long?

Bioshock Vita was announced too early for sure, but as long as they have more than just a logo to show, I think it's fine. Everybody wants to know what Sony's big studios are working on.

I was a bit surprised to see stacks of this game in CEX today. It's not the kind of game you power through and sell on. Maybe it's not what people wanted...

Quite a few GOTY candidates here. I should probably buy one of them, but then there is Knack 2.

@1ManAndHisDroid And still no Meatloaf

It's about time they made all my PS3 tracks work on the PS4.

@Johnnycide Same. As a much bigger fan of Fallout than The Elder Scrolls, I expect to enjoy this.

Wei Shen is losing!!! If only he'd been up against Michael, Franklin or Trevor he would be winning for sure!

14. Assassins Creed Chronicles.

From the ones I've played, I agree with the list.

Nintendo's cadence has been a lot better with the Switch than Sony's was with the Vita. Switch came out with a 10/10 Zelda then it had games like ARMS and Slaptoon 2 in the near future with the clincher of a 10/10 Mario game coming out in the same year. Zelda and Mario shift units, and when they come out in the same year for a brand new console, it's bingo.

Good article by the way. I've been thinking along the same lines.

Spot on, Sammy.

I'll rent NFS Payback for 6 hours please.

GTAV at 3 but the superior Sleeping Dogs is nowhere! I'm disappointed in you Sammy.

@hadlee73 Who are you calling a pillock?

@KirbyTheVampire Yeah it's the same like GTA. Every week people on the internet question why it's in the top ten, but IRL I've met many people, who really don't consider gaming a hobby of there's, who play GTA, Call of Duty or Fifa.

@get2sammyb The internet in general is not that representative of the market. COD is a game that sells to millions of people who only buy a couple of games a year and don't interact with the gaming world outside of that much at all.

My COD phase was MW2 to Advanced Warfare. I was someone that wanted them to bring back a "boots on the ground" COD, but I've lost interest now. MW2 was the best. Getting a nuke just felt so damn good.

Sounds like Sledgehammer did a bad job. I'm a little surprised because Advanced Warfare was probably better than BO3 and IW.

LOL at Marcus Holloway! Is Aiden Pierce in this as well???

With all these worthwhile exclusives, Sony are making it so easy for me to choose PlayStation.

@JoeBlogs Sammy needs to time to watch Taylor Swift's new video a million times. Egypt can wait.

KNACK

@roe Yeah. They're never going to keep interest going throughout such a long slog. Should have consulted @themcnoisy

I think you should be doing one bracket every 24 hours to generate interest.
