So, what's your game of the year?

No, no thanks, I've no intention of ever playing any game released on a console. Next you'll be asking me to take playing a game on a phone seriously.

I've never looked to MS or Sony for anything, other than a bloated O/S I'm forced to use because the Linux community is all talk and no delivery when it comes to creating an O/S worthy of being used to game, and as for Sony, at this point does anything further need be said about them? Poor guys can't stay out of the news.

Honestly, between Steam and Wine, there's a large number of games that play just fine on Linux. Not as many as on Windows, of course, but if I ever had to give up Windows on my main desktop, I don't think I'd have any trouble staying entertained.

On topic, 2 of my favorites would 'The Last of Us' on consoles and 'Endless Legend' on PC. Both are fantastic games in different ways. Also, I'm with Frags in singing Mario Kart 8's praises- it's an excellent game by pretty much any metric.
