Top Games for the Month of November

Here are our most popular games for the month of November. Smash made it back into the top three, and a couple of our new games made the list. With the general popularity of the PS3 over the XBox 360 recently, I'm somewhat surprised there aren't more PS3 games on the list.

1. FIFA 14 (XBox 360)
2. Call of Duty: Black Ops II (XBox 360)
3. Super Smash Bros. Melee (Gamecube)
3. FIFA Soccer 13 (XBox 360)
5. Hatsune Miku (PS3)
6. Grand Theft Auto V (PS3)
7. NBA 2K13 (XBox 360)
8. Mario kart Wii
9. Dynasty Warriors 8 (XBox 360)
10. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (Wii)

Party and Tournament Results

We held a party and Smash tournament on Saturday to celebrate our fifth anniversary of being open, as well as to highlight International Games Day @ Your Library. Both were well-attended, and the cupcakes predictably disappeared pretty quickly.

As promised, we'll post the winners of the Smash tournament here for official bragging rights. Congratulations to our top five winners, who won Amazon gift cards, and thanks to everyone who attended!
