YearbyYear Video Game Showcase

Jordan Minor's book, Video Game of the Year: A Year-by-Year Guide to the Best, Boldest, and Most Bizarre Games from Every Year Since 1977, provides a unique perspective on ranking video games. Rather than aiming for a definitive list, the author chooses to showcase the Best, Boldest, and Most Bizarre games from each year. This different approach not only minimizes the potential for criticism but also enhances the book's readability compared to conventional rankings.

Video Game of the Year: A Year-by-Year Guide to the Best, Boldest, and Most Bizarre Games from Every Year Since 1977, written by author Jordan Minor, offers a fresh take on ranking video games. Instead of attempting to create a definitive list, Jordan focuses on highlighting the Best, Boldest, and Most Bizarre games from each year. This approach not only reduces the risk of backlash but also makes the book more enjoyable to read than traditional rankings. Despite being structured as a series of "critical essays," the book covers a wide range of topics within the gaming world, from development stories to the societal impact of certain games. Fully illustrated with "retro-inspired imagery," Video Game of the Year features games like Pong, The Legend of Zelda, Tetris, Rock Band, The Secret of Monkey Island, Depression Quest, and Super Meat Boy. By taking a year-by-year approach, the book provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of video games over the past several decades.
