Happy New Year Players! Today is the last entry in the Christmas Collaboration hosted by our friends over at Later Levels! It was a super fun blogging challenge that we took on and I am happy to say that we did not miss a day. Feel free to check out teh other bloggers that participated in this challenge with us by clicking here!
Today’s Topic Is…
You wake up the following morning, hungover but happy – you have an entire day of gaming ahead of you. You start thinking back over the video games you played during 2017; what was your game of the year?
This question is one that we have answered in our Countdown to 2018: Top Games of 2017 post! Halo Wars 2 was my top game played in 2017. Halo Wars 2 is a RTS (Real Time Strategy) game and the sequel to Halo Wars which originally released on the Xbox 360. HW2 provided better game modes, characters with special abilities and a new story in which to explore.
I purchased HW2 with the Xbox One S the week of its release and played the story with my friend online. We had a fantastic time playing and it was one of the best experiences that I have had in gaming.
I can say that Final Fantasy XIV has been making a great impression on me, especially being my first Final Fantasy game. If I had more time to play FFXIV Online over the year, it may have creeped up on Halo Wars 2 and taken the top spot. I really enjoy RPG (Role Playing Games) mainly because I have this Gamer Grief thingy where I cannot complete the story in a game. For some reason, whenever I beat the story mode in a video game, I have no further interest in the game itself. This has been something that has plagued me throughout my lifetime as a gamer and is one of the main reasons I do not play Single Player games. One of my New Year Gaming resolutions will be to try out different genres of video games that I wouldn’t necessarily play. I picked up this resolution after reading yesterday’s Video Game Resolutions posts by some of our blogging buddies.
Thank you Kim for hosting such a fun event and I look forward to additional collaborations in 2018. Thank you to everyone who has participated in the event whether you have answered the questions, read the posts and or provided feedback. It has been about a year of blogging for me and this experience has taught me so much about writing and has given me the voice that I was searching for. I write about what I love and knowing that others enjoy what we put out is truly a gift in itself. I wish happiness, love and success for everyone in 2018.
What are your top games for 2017? What is your game of the year? Let’s talk video games!

Once anime RPG game that we play is called Aura Kingdom (review coming soon). This game has dye shops and the item mall that you can use to properly dress your avatar. The clothes are bright, brilliant and bold so I would love to warp into the kingdom and select an outfit to use.
I can see it now, the royal trumpeters will announce our arrival and we will walk in looking as elegant and as regal as possible. I’m super interested in royals and medieval nobilty that I wouldn’t mind wearing a corset and a puffy dress for an evening. Hopefully no one will trip and spill their drink on me!
The buffet table starts like a conveyor belt and as each ingredient is ready, the child will press the corresponding button to add each ingredient to the mixture. After all ingredients are added, the super cooker that Santa brought us will bake up the orders in about 10 minutes! The menu will consist of delicacies such as Minecraft Cake, Pumpkin Pie and more!
that gives all of our guests a buff in strength. The Anime Avatar Chibis dropped by with some treats from the Sky Islands Resort such as the Luxury Champagne and Fried Egg Curry dishes.
or the Dragon from Skyrim to help make his deliveries! Think about it, a dragon is an excellent means of transportation AND they’re super long so they will have plenty of space to hold the presents. I figure the dragon’s scales can be rigged up like a pirate ship, with rope ties so that Santa can drop the presents in the Chimney. Also, I figure not many children these days are getting great gifts so Santa will have an UNLIMITED supply of COAL! He can throw branches for the dragons to burn and the resulting charcoal will fall in the place of the gifts. It’s full proof!
This was it, my chance to finally meet some of my heroes (and Villains :P) from my childhood and let’s face it adulthood as well. I’ve decided on wearing a nice little gamer dress to show appreciation for the Mushroom Kingdom and hopefully score cool kid points from my host.
flies over us and a string of mistletoe hovers. I shrug my shoulders and kiss scorpion on the cheek. The rest of the night I mingled with the absolute best in gaming, but one thing crossed my mind. I didn’t see Peach or Bowser the entire night. Guess it was a Happy Holiday for all parties involved!
