Eurogamer's top 50 games of 2015

The full list, as voted for by Eurogamer's editorial team.

We've tended to shy away from lists in the past at Eurogamer, but when there's the opportunity to hastily slap up an index of games in order to spend another couple of days doing sod all, why not?

But wait! There's science to this list. Well, a little anyway. As is our custom every December, Eurogamer gets its regular contributors to submit, in some sort of order, their top 10 games of the year. I won't name each and every one of them, nor will I spell out the individual lists (tempting as it may be to shame one particular Eurogamer staffer with questionable taste), so instead here's the top 50 as voted for by some 15 different writers, which I hope has enabled some breadth of perspective.

We'll have the full reader's top 50, as voted for by you, tomorrow morning (spoiler: you have much better taste than us), and we'll be resuming normal service on Eurogamer this coming Monday. Happy new year!
