Greg Kasavin is a writer/designer at Supergiant Games, the small independent studio that created Bastion. He and the team are now working on a game called Transistor. Prior to joining Supergiant, Greg worked at 2K Games, Electronic Arts, and GameSpot. He's @kasavin on Twitter.

http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/greg-kasavin-s-top-10-games-of-2013/1100-4812/

Click to read all 3 of his lists.

An excellent choice for #1, IMO. Probably the best game I've played in years. His whole top 10 is quality, though as is his other 20. Not surprising coming from a developer of his skill.

Best of luck to him and his team on Transistor. If it's as good as Bastion, it will be a gem.

Who is that? And why am I supposed to give two craps about his list?

Does every dumbass that posts on a forum get their own top ten?

Who are the both of you and why am I supposed to give 2 shits about your opinions?

I'm sure the TC made a mistake in posting the OP and the link...No need to be assholes about it.

I miss Greg, Gamespot could use a ton more staff like him (and lot less staff that they currently have...).

Gamespot used to feel like a site run by passionate gamers and reviewers...now the site is little more than a soap box for liberal trendsters....

If this guy was still around Gamespot's opinion would actually matter. Greg K was the best game reviewer ever.

Antichamber was on the wrong list, should have been on his real one, not on the list with the work simulator.

Greg was one of the best editors Gamespot ever had and he went on to make Bastion. He's a pretty smart dude.

Just wanted to let you know, vagisil is on sale this week. You need to stock up.

I could never stand the guy. Such a weird person. I always got a good laugh out of his akward video reviews. Now he is making some crummy looking game.

On a more serious note, he was the greatest reviewer that has ever been on Gamespot, and he was the personification of Gamespot itself. Wen people thought of Kasavin, people automatically thought of Gamespot, and vice versa.

Everything went to shit after he left (in 2007), and now Kevin Vanord is the only person holding Gamespot from falling into a cesspool of shit.

All of this. I really like Danny and Jonneh, too. Wish they did reviews. VanOrd is pretty much the only reviewer I care about here.

A notable man in the gaming industry and one of the most important figures of Gamespot. You are half right, your opinion doesn't mean shit to anyone, his does.

You can be less of a dick and an idiot if you read the op next time.

Flawed? Yeah, what game isn't? (except Portal 1) but it's stupid to call them "bad games". Ride to hell retribution is a bad game

The really are. Bioshock's combat is incredibly mindless and tedious from start to finish and the writing doesn't know what the hell it's doing or where it's going. The Last of Us is an absolutely miserable experience through and through.
