Sophist Radio Episode 37: Lesbian Christmas

In this holiday-season-inspired episode, the Sophist crew: James, Harold, and Aaron, attempt to explain their feelings about Christmas. Is it really the most wonderful time of the year, or just an excuse for gifts and falsely nice actions. Those question and more are answered. This being a video game podcast and all, the guys also manage to squeeze in talk about Bit Trip Fate, Beat Hazard, Revenge of the Titans, Uplink, Enslaved, and Digital: A Love Story. To cap things off the Sophist Crew takes a stab at summing up 2010 in games. What games left a lasting impression and what games missed their marks? All that and more, in a podcast so popular that the one and only Doogie Howser stole a joke from it to use in front of millions of people.

Harold's Most Important Games of 2010

2010 was a very strange year in gaming, with the two high definition console makers (Sony and Microsoft) deciding to chase the motion control bandwagon as it speeds past hardcore gamers and right into the comfortable realm of soccer moms and old folks home. The selections of games available for the typical gamer were at an all time low.

I personally found myself digging deep into the bargain bins and Gamefly queue in order to find games that perked my interests. This year three games in particular strike a chord with me and I would like to highlight them here, in a little something I call “ Harold’s Most Important Games of 2010."
