Because I Said So is the only game of the year awards you should care about...because I said so. If you missed Part 1, check it out to see my 2018 choice for most disappointing, best shrink wrapped and best old game.

On to Part 2, where I start my selection for a favourite game for each platform. My GOTY will emerge from this list, so be sure to pay close attention!

After years of hiding in the Apple ecosystem, we finally started the transition to the competition - Google. Our house is now full of Google Homes, we got a Nvidia Shield TV, and I swapped the iPhone to a Razer Phone. With a new phone and ecosystem came a bunch of new games to try.

WINNER - Pocket City

I’ve tried Sim City on the mobile before, but this one just gets it right. It feels like a polished Sim 2000 clone and it’s pretty awesome.

This is likely the last time the Vita will get a spot on this list. While I picked up a ton of games this year for the Vita (e.g. Senran Kagura Series, Lost Dimension, The Legend of Heroes Series, Gal Gun, and all the Neptunia games) only one was a new release for 2018. So the winner by default…

WINNER - Bullet Girls Phantasia

Bullet Girls Phantasia is an action shooting game. One of the key features in the series is a mode where you can tickle the girls. Instant classic.

That's all for this part. Keep an eye out for Part 3!
