Another year, another “Top 10 Games” list that I feel the need to stress that I’m aware some great games aren’t on it because I simply haven’t played them. I’m just one man with a blog and a full time job, not a website that gets sent review copies! So I’m sure God of War: Ragnarok should be near or at the top of the list, but I can’t put it on there because I haven’t played it… I have played a lot of games that didn’t get released in 2022 though, including looking at 120 hours + on Super Robot Wars 30 thanks to buying all of its DLC along with the base game… and I’m still not done with it! So let’s look at what 10 games I managed to cobble together this year!

My Top 10 Doctor Who Stories of 2022
Another year with Doctor Who barely on TV (which is still better than all the years it wasn’t on TV at all, but still…) so once again this list is heavy on the Big Finish audio side, though it’s also heavy on the more modern Who side due to the switch to boxset format not going too well for Doctors 6 and 7, quality-wise.

What a fun year for TV it’s been for me. Star Wars has had hit after hit (for different reasons) throughout 2022 and services like Netflix and Amazon Prime unleashed some big hitters in my field of view as well. Throw in some good Anime seasons and this year has been one of the rare ones where some good series have been left off due to having to do just 10, which is great, so honourable mentions to stuff like Umbrella Academy S3, which was still a lot of fun; She-Hulk which was half genuinely funny but half “not really my cup of tea”; Gundam: Witch From Mercury has had some great set up and character development but yet to really get going; and the final two thirds of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, which had an amazing finale but was pretty standard up to the that point… Let’s take a look at which made it!
