The Best Reissued Games of 2016
Tim Schafer has had an illustrious career as a game designer both at LucasArts and Double Fine Productions, the studio he founded back in 2000.. Amidst managing teams and contributing to games like Broken Age and Psychonauts 2, Schafer and friends somehow find the time to polish their earlier hits for modern systems. Day of The Tentacle is the latest LucasArts game under Schafer's watch to be overhauled, and the upgrades extend far beyond remastering old pixel art for HD displays. The game's controls have been modernized through retooled menus that appear directly on top of interactive objects. The entire soundtrack has been reorchestrated as well, and for anyone who's curious about what Schafer and co were thinking during the creation of Day of the Tentacle, a commentary track provides hours of insight as you explore the game.

The Best Expansions of 2016
It wasn't just console games that received great expansion content in 2016. Blizzard's Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft had one of the best add-ons in 2016 in Whispers of the Old Gods. Released in May, Whispers of the Old Gods mixed things up with a series of new cards (134 in all!), including C'Thun, Y'Shaarj, Yogg-Saron, and N'Zoth from the Warcraft lore. The expansion also changed up the popular collectible card game's formula with its new Standard and Wild mode.
