Well, like most of you, we're clocking off for the next week to celebrate the Holidays and enjoy some much-needed sun, food and (hopefully) sweet, sweet presents. We'll be dropping in occasionally with pertinent news posts, and if you can't be bothered checking the site, remember to check out our Twitter and our Facebook where we'll be updating any new posts.

As always, a massive thanks goes out to you, our readers, for chiming in and helping keep us relevant and passionate. We've had a huge year where we represented Australia as one of three official judges for the Best of E3 Game Awards, and the end of year The Game Awards. We had one of our biggest Reviews years in AusGamers' long history (thanks largely to Kosta), with a huge focus on hardware alongside Indies and Triple-As. Our Features were also through the roof thanks to the continued support of publishers and developers giving us first class access to their projects to help us share their games with you, through our professional lens.

And just what a year in gaming. Honestly, 2018 gave something incredible for everyone.

We'll be back in the New Year, but if you're bored over the break, drop us a note in the Comments on what your favourite gaming-related thing was in 2018, and what you might be playing into 2019 as part of Holiday Sales, presents or just a basic Shame Pile.

Be safe, have fun and we'll see you in 2019.

Massive thanks,

The AusGamers crew.
