With apologies to said chicks for unnecessary specificity, there's no better way to enjoy giant robots than in video game form. And one of the best giant robot games ever made, Titanfall 2, is on sale today for just three greenbacks. I've poured out my love for this game and its predecessor before, bemoaning the fact the publisher EA and developer Respawn seem to have abandoned it in favor of Star Wars and battle royale. But to save you some reading time: it has a fantastic single-player campaign that's worth the price of admission alone. Fast-paced, parkour-infused FPS action in "pilot" mode contrasts with stomping around in your robot pal for big action set pieces. The sci-fi buddy cop story is decent and the level design is occasionally jaw-dropping.

It's been just under nine years since Titanfall landed on the PC and Xbox, and just under nine years since publisher Electronic Arts has been underutilizing one of its most interesting and promising franchises. With the rumor that EA has canned a third Titanfall game after years of development, I think it's time we look back on what this game was, what it could have been, and lamentably, what it never will be. What is Titanfall right now? Part of the first wave of Xbox One titles and one of the console's very few exclusives, the original Titanfall was the first game developed by Respawn Entertainment, which was founded by former executives of Call of Duty creator Infinity Ward. It made a splash from its introduction at E3 2013, wowing gamers with a mix of fresh, parkour-infused multiplayer shooting and the titular Titan mechs as a fresh addition to the genre.

You'd think that any big Titanfall 2 update would revolve around the game's namesake robots, but no -- Respawn wants on-foot action to be the focus next time around. It's preparing a free upgrade whose centerpiece is Live Fire, a six-on-six pilot-only mode. You have just one minute to either eliminate the entire enemy team or hold a neutral flag when time is up. The mode is important enough that there are even two new maps created just for the purpose. The release will also include a new Coliseum map (again, a pilot-only mode), a new execution and fresh commander intros.

Here at Forbes Games we've come to the conclusion that 2016 was a great year for video games. A tough year to pick favorites. Sure, there were so many games released it was almost impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff, but despite plenty of duds and disappointments, last year was packed with gems---so packed that I'm still catching up on many of them. It was an especially good year for first-person shooters, as the following list will no doubt illustrate. I'd be willing to say it was the best year for shooters that I can remember.

We will have a compiled Forbes Games "Best of 2016" list online soon, but a lot of people have been asking me what my own favorite games of the year have been. I don't normally do this, but 2016 was an interesting year in many ways, and this is a list I actually wanted to write this year, so here we are. I will admit I have pretty mainstream tastes, so I certainly have missed a number of indies that will crop up on more hip game critics' lists. But I think I may surprise you with a few of my picks as well. Without further ado, to start the new year, here are my ten best video games of 2016.

In the ninth episode of "Westworld," the HBO television series that imagines an escapist theme park populated by human players and fantasy-fulfulling androids, a character named Dolores questions the appeal of the world outside. If humans are so eager to flee into her reality, she asks, as sentience flickers into her circuitry, why would she ever want to visit theirs? In 2016, the year that facts, political decency, and a handful of our most cherished celebrities joined the choir invisible, who could argue with her? Now more than ever, fiction seems a place of retreat, and the interactive fictions of video games have an especially keen appeal. In times that feel out of control, the controller is a refuge. No matter how dark the world we enter, we are, like Westworld's clientele, made to feel invincible.
