I don't see anything in your rules that says two people can't refer each other. Have any of us really "referred" anyone, since this is a contest posted in a public place that we all visit? Sounds like someone's still sore about 1783.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy - 40 points

I'm partial to rhythm games, so one that features music from some of my favorite childhood games, packaged in a slick game that doesn't feel like a cash-in is awesome. Square-Enix could have easily phoned this title in, but instead they clearly made this as a love letter to the fans (and then cashed in by making fans buy the same stuff again on iOS to get a few more songs).

Dishonored - 25 points

This one's on the short side, even if you're playing stealthy, but what a ride. The game drops you off at the beginning of each mission, and leaves it entirely up to you how you want to accomplish your goal. Want to freeze time, stick a couple of dudes with razor wire and run for it? Sure, you can do that, or you can skulk in the shadows, stacking all your sleeping enemies in the elevator together, then possess the last guy and make him walk off a cliff. Whatever you choose, it's bound to be entertaining.

Sleeping Dogs - 20 points

For a game that wasn't on my radar at all until after it came out, this one took up a lot of my time. Sure, it's derivative (sandbox world of GTA, melee combat of Batman), but it gets most things right. The story was entertaining, and nothing beats breaking up a drug ring by running everyone over repeatedly.

Journey - 10 points

There's nothing really to add here that others haven't already said. Beautiful, simple gameplay with a great soundtrack and well-integrated multiplayer.

Tokyo Jungle - 5 points

If nothing else, you have to give it to Sony for releasing this title in the US. It's such a weird game, but very amusing to run around Tokyo as a deer or a chick, tangling with bears and dinosaurs.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
