How fitting that for my last contribution to Joystiq's Game of the Year list, I should learn the bitter sting of having my number one choice not breach the Top 10. <em>LittleBigPlanet 2</em> improved upon the original -- already one of my favorite games of all time -- in every conceivable way, offering one of the most user-friendly, charming UGC systems in gaming history. There is nothing I've thought of that <em>LBP2</em> wasn't able to create, and that includes a level about <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeiTwVzf2AI">interstellar poultry abduction</a>.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/04/best-of-the-rest-griffins-picks-of-2011/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Best of the Rest: Griffin's picks of 2011</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/04/best-of-the-rest-griffins-picks-of-2011/">Best of the Rest: Griffin's picks of 2011</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:00:00 EST.

One of our absolute favorite iOS games here at Joystiq HQ is undoubtedly <em>Super Stickman Golf</em>. Our Android-owning ilk have long watched in envy as we battle each other in brutal, Bluetooth multiplayer when we're in meatspace and action-packed asynchronous leaderboards while in the digi-verse. So, for the Android users out there, we have good news and bad news.<br />
<br />
First, the good news: <em>Super Stickman Golf</em> is coming to Android this Thursday for the not unreasonable price of $0.00. And unlike some of Android's most popular free games, <em>Super Stickman Golf</em> is ad-free. Developer Noodlecake Studios has added in microtransactions, founder Jordan Schidlowsky tells us. "You can purchase more 'powerups' mid round if you run out," he said.<br />
<br />
While the Android release has "all the holes, hazards and heartbreak fans have come to expect from <em>Super Stickman Golf</em>" it is missing one major, massive feature: Multiplayer. When asked on Twitter if the Android release would support multiplayer, Schidlowsky replied, "Not at launch, but we're working on it." For the price, you're going to want to grab <em>SSG</em> regardless of that (hopefully temporary) shortcoming.<br />
