When you inevitably get stuck on the master of all difficult game’s games, just give him a ring and he will be right there to help you solve those game tapes! ($2.99 for the first minute, $1.99 for each additional minute).

If you like SHMUP’s, then strap in. Even without an official “SHMUP Chat” segment, this episode is packed with more SHMUP’s than you can handle. Boxcellios II, Silpheed: The Lost Planet, and Shmusicup. Jonah even gets in on the action since he was able to give Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition a try.

Not a SHMUP fan, or don’t even know what the crap I’m talking about? Fear not! Jesse also gives us the scoop on Fast Racing League while Jonah talks about his further adventures in Valkyria Chronicles and Mighty Milky Way. Adam has given into the craziness of Just Cause 2 while Adam 2 explains Farbs’ latest, Captain Jameson (still in Alpha).

As usual, the guys also talk about the week’s new releases and the news, but this week we also talk a little about what we are/were hoping to see from this year’s E3 (SPOILER: it’s not much). So sit back with your favorite drink, relax, and enjoy this extra long, extra action packed one-hundred and nineteenth episode of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast”. Operators are standing by!

Not every game we love makes it into the WingDamage top 10. Some of them just don’t have enough unanimous support. These are what we like to call “The Leftovers.”

So here ends my first year writing for WingDamage. It has been a lot of fun. I haven’t written as much here as I really wanted too, but I’ve made it a resolution of mine to write down more about the great games coming out over the next year on this fair blog.

But first things first. I’m going to lay down the games from my top ten list that didn’t make the cut for ZOLO’S GAME OF THE YEAR. I can’t say I’ve played every game this year, and there were some games I missed this year that sounded pre-made for my GOTY list, but time is ever marching forward. Without further adieu, here are my leftovers.

2010 was an amazing year filled with some pretty nifty games. Narrowing all this niftiness down to a mere 10 games proved to be a daunting task. With the help of an intrepid band of explorers, scientists, and the Sandwichtabulatron, I was able to determine the 10 best games of the year. Unfortunately, my picks were not unanimously approved with a standing ovation and on offer of dictatorship of Wingdamagia for life.

These days it is literally impossible to play every game that comes out in a year and not get fired from your day job or completely alienate your spouse. We suffer an embarrassment of riches with so many big name titles and indie gems hitting the market on a regular basis.

I did my best to play as many games as I could get my grubby mitts on, especially in the last few months of 2010.

But I’m only one man…

"I hope you brought extra batteries..."
