1. Bloodborne (Best replay value) New take on the souls series, really injected life into the series from the stale feel of knights knights and more knights of dark souls 2, the fast pace nature really lead to some heart thumping encounters. Lore, art and sound track all sensational.
2. Super Mario Maker The game we always wanted as kid, make your own mario game!!, best part any old moron can do it.
3. Xenoblade Chronicles X
4. Ori And The Blind Forest(Best graphics/art) Solid gameplay without anyhting outstanding however the story and art are mind blowing every minute was truly a treat.
5. Fallout 4 Another solid Bethesda game, improved shooting mechanics from past fallout games however the removal and dumbed down parts of the game really lower the games overall rating.
6. Rise Of The Tomb Raider (Best gameplay)
7. Until Dawn
8. Metal Gear Solid
9. Witcher 3(Best story)
10. Halo 5

We need to change best graphics to included art direction/style.

I don't think I even played ten 2015-released games. It was a fairly lean year for me, partially because of other commitments and partially due to a lack of interest in most of the big titles. If I were to do a list my top three would probably be Life is Strange, Tales from the Borderlands and Rocket League...past that I'd be lost.

1. Witcher 3 (story, story, story. Good digital sex too)

2. Bloodborne (absolutely fantastic. Tbh, this and Witcher 3 are pretty equal imo. Immersive and fantastic gameplay)

3. Fallout 4 (haven't finished but have sunk enough hours in, fantastic stuff, although a little too similar to other Bethesda games)

4. Metal Gear Solid V (great game, great mechanics/gameplay. Story was ok until a certain point)

5. Rocket League (pure digital crack. The first time I started it up was pure fun, something I haven't felt in a game since SNES/Megadrive days)

6. Talos Principle (fantastic puzzler, great story, made me think about philosophising and shit)

7. Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition (great RPG, harkens back to Baldurs Gate II, in depth, crazy hard, need a notepad next to you while playing)

8. Mortal Kombat X (superb fighter, not bad story mode for once, awesome combos)

And that's my Top 8. Not gonna shoehorn another 2 games I haven't played just for the hell of it.

Shouldn't the points system be a flat 10 points for 1st, 9 points for 2nd etc?

I really need to finish most of the contenders for GOTY 2015 as well.

That's cool if you haven't played enough games, you can submit as many as you played.

Yes okay i will change it.
Might be a bit easier to tally that way.
