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.”

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.

On a very special ninety-ninth episode of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast”, Wes returns to help us solve the mystery of the disappearing flavor. Sure, pineapple soda is delicious, but as soon as a brand makes their own version, it vanishes from the market. Is their some soda based conspiracy, or is old man Withers at the haunted amusement park up to his old tricks again?

After discussing the new games this week, the guys talk about what games they’ve been playing. Adam gives his initial impressions of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and talks about his return to Minecraft. Jonah finally sat down with Sin and Punishment: Star Successor. Wes gives us his thoughts on Back to the Future: The Game and Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Jesse is still trying to find the fun in Kirby’s Epic Yarn and also teams up with Jonah for some Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.

There may not be a lot of portable games coming out in the second quarter of 2010, but there are a couple big ones. We’ve chosen not to include games listed simply as “Summer” (sorry Dragon Quest IX and Ace Combat: Joint Assault) since they’re more likely to end up in Q3. Here are the games we’re looking forward to.
