Video games became a much more popular respite in 2020 with so many other things shutting down and sending people home. In fact, the industry made more money than every sport and the movie industry combined. Of course, this is a party I was already attending and the year did not disappoint. Not only were there great iterations of traditional game styles, but my top three - any of which could have taken my top spot - are extraordinary original experiences. Playing a festival DJ, flying over anywhere on planet Earth, and the most impressive VR game to date... all three impressed me like nothing I've seen in recent years. Here are my favorite games of 2020.
