The 10 best video games of 2017

10 BEST GAMES OF 2017

This has been the greatest year for games since 2007, with more good games available than you can shake a joystick at. Here's my ranking of 10 of the best:

1. Super Mario Odyssey, available on Nintendo Switch

It's been a rough year and it's nice to come home and play something ridiculously fun, and Super Mario Odyssey did that in spades. It was a hard choice between Odyssey and Zelda, but it was always going to be a Nintendo Switch game. Well done, Nintendo, on your master stroke of a console.

THE GAME I PLAYED MOST

I clocked up the most hours playing Overwatch, which is available on Playstation, Xbox and PC. With all the updates this year this game still feels as fresh as the day I first played it and I feel it will continue to do well.
