You all know what this is so let's not write an overwrought blurb and cut to the chase. It’s the Game of the Year 2017 as discussed and picked by the happysalad crew. There’s loads of games discussed with some level of enthusiasm but which will give rise to the most?

Bayonetta
A member of an ancient witch clan and possessing powers beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, Bayonetta faces-off against countless angelic enemies, many reaching epic proportions, in a game of 100% pure, unadulterated all-out action. Outlandish finishing moves are performed with balletic grace as Bayonetta flows from one fight to another. With magnificent over-the-top action taking place in stages that are a veritable theme park of exciting attractions, Bayonetta pushes the limits of the action genre, bringing to life its fast-paced, dynamic climax combat.


According to dispatch emails from Tesco Direct, games can now be shipped and have a chance to arrive BEFORE they were shipped. If there's some secret time travel tech being used in large scale consumerism then local business is really going to struggle now. Does Amazon have secret teleporters? Does ASDA stock it’s shelves by ballistic cannon? Does Morrison’s have high speed underground mag-levs deploying pies across the nation? If any of this is true, the Pizza delivery business needs to invest now!
