Nearing year end

We're coming close to the end of the year. Only a few more weeks left. I'm not one for Christmas, I suppose, but then it's possible that's all because I live in the desert. Maybe snow would get me in the mood, rather than 60 degree weather.
It's about the time where TV shows and magazines put up their top tens of the year, so I suppose I'll do something of the sort, to help nonexistant readers understand me. I suppose I'll start with my top five of video games for the year, since they're the easiest to pay attention to with release dates and such. Keep in mind I don't have all of the consoles, so I can't speak on all video games. Plus, this is my opinion.

At five, Pikmin 3. I've been waiting years for it. As a little kid, Pikmin was one of my favorite games, so it's only natural. Plus, I got to play it whenever I wanted by telling my mom it helped me learn fractions, even though it taught me about as much as fraction frogs did.
At four, I have Bioshock Infinite. A good bit overhyped with the whole 'best shooter evar' thing, and the gameplay wasn't anything to get TOO excited about, but it was really pretty good.
At three, Batman Arkham Origins. I loved the other games in the batman series, so it was an easy choice.
At two, The Last of Us. Emotional, great gameplay (except for the computer controlled Ellie...), and a great game overall.
At one, GTA V. I love sandbox games, as well as robbing banks, so it was a clear choice I suppose.

People say every year that 'this is the new bestest year for video games'. If video games aren't improving every year, that's a problem. They're still a developing medium, so you should naturally expect better ones yearly, besides the brief flashes of brilliance.
