The Best Reviewed Games of 2016
2016 is just about in the books and it's been a pretty great one for games. We've already announced our nominees for Best of 2016, but how did the year look by the numbers? We're going to take a look right now by rattling off IGN's highest scored games of 2016.
Below, you'll find a list of every game we gave a 9.2 or higher, along with a blurb from their review. So let's dive right in and see who put up the biggest numbers in 2016!
From our Inside review: "Inside very clearly builds upon what made Limbo great, and in fact builds something greater. Its unimaginable twist may leave you dumbfounded, confused, and quite possibly speechless, but it will fuel heated discussion with your friends about its meaning, its message, and its intentions. It’s a short ride, but one I felt compelled to take again – including a search for its mysterious hidden orb collectibles. Play it soon before anyone spoils a single big moment for you."

IGN SPOTLIGHT
Rumor: Arkham Origins Team Cancels Suicide Squad Project
WB Games Montreal, the studio behind Batman: Arkham Origins, has reportedly cancelled an unannounced Suicide Squad game and is instead now focusing on a Damian Wayne Batman game.
According to unnamed sources speaking to Kotaku, the reported Suicide Squad project had been in development for at least two years and was possibly even a co-op game. The game failed to impress executives at Warner Bros. and was cancelled after "a long period of turbulence at WB Montreal" according to the report.
Instead, the report states that WB Games Montreal’s current project, a Damian Wayne game, was originally going to be revealed at the beginning of December, according to Kotaku's sources. Kotaku's report suggests the announcement may have been pushed back due to key WB Games Montreal employees leaving the company and the hiring of new studio head Stephane Roy.

Aquaman Villain Actor on Why He Joined the DC Movie
Watchmen star Patrick Wilson has revealed why he's on board to play Orm, the villain in Warner Bros.' upcoming Aquaman movie.
"I'm completely biased with James Wan, who I’ve done four films with — knowing that he’s at the helm and knowing what he… can do and what he will do, I’ll do anything with him," Wilson told ABC Radio (via Batman-News) while explaining why Wan's role in the project made him want to be part of the film. In addition to The Conjuring and its sequel, the actor starred in Insidious and Insidious: Chapter 2, all of which were directed by Wan.
‘Great Decision’ to Sell Naughty Dog, Says Co-Founder
Coming off the success of Crash Bandicoot, Naughty Dog co-founders Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin decided to sell the studio to Sony in 2001, a decision Rubin believes has enabled the studio to achieve the incredible heights it has in the years that followed.
On the latest episode of our monthly interview show IGN Unfiltered, Rubin acknowledged that it wasn't an easy decision to sell Naughty Dog to Sony, saying he and Gavin "definitely agonized over it."
Rubin recalled the moment when he and Gavin first considered selling the company, a time at which Crash Bandicoot was doing incredibly well for PlayStation and former Sony exec Kelly Flock suggested they "think about safe harbor."
Star Citizen FPS Module ‘Star Marine’ Gets New Trailer, Details
At last, after delays spanning months and years, Star Citizen's highly anticipated first-person shooter module Star Marine will launch with the upcoming 2.6 patch. To celebrate, developer Cloud Imperium Games' CEO Chris Roberts caught up with us to share a brand new trailer that shows off some new footage, as well as to answer a few questions.
The new trailer follows last month's release of footage for Star Marine in the form of a livestream and a separate five-minute preview taking place in Station Damien, the smaller of the two expected maps. The new trailer, though, shows off the larger Echo Eleven map that's set on an asteroid base and designed for 12 vs. 12 matches, as well as smaller details such as the attention given to character faces.
NASA Successfully Grows Space Lettuce
For the first time, NASA has successfully grown and harvested fresh greens in space.
In a post on the official NASA homepage, astronaut Shane Kimbrough began nurturing six romaine lettuce seedlings aboard the International Space Station on October 25, and on December 2, he enjoyed the first fruits of his labor as a "mid-afternoon snack."
The grow is part of NASA's "Veggie" experiment, which acknowledges that "future long-duration space missions will require crew members to grow their own food, so understanding how plants respond to microgravity is an important step toward that goal."
