Friends List: Is Animal Crossing: New Leaf the game of the year?

by Brian Crecente

The bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells — the rhyming and the chiming of the bells.

This month, we’ll be interviewing co-workers about the games they believe deserve the title of Game of the Year. Today on Friends List, I’m joined by Deputy News Editor Griffin McElroy to talk about his favorite game of 2013: Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

The episode will begin at 2 p.m. ET (or thereabouts!) and will be available via YouTube following the recording.
