We sing the praises of Media Molecule's excellent Vita game Tearaway, and look back at the year that was.

I accepted Jeff Marchiafava's challenge to play Metro: Last Light, a game he decided to champion for our year-end Top 50 list. I went in blind. Though I'd heard good things about it, I'd never played Last Light or its predecessor Metro 2033.

One of my favorite games of the year is a great example of the platformer done right: Sanzaru Games' Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. I've always loved the series' colorful, cel-shaded graphics and lighthearted, gadget-heavy take on stealth.

Around this time each year, we begin to create our list of the top 50 best games of the year. This year, we decided
to let you in on a part of the process.

crafty, I decided to give it a go.

Weeks don't get more eventful than this. Sony is ready to release the PlayStation 4, and we've played it. Tune in to hear all about it, and some discussion of a classic new Zelda game.
