Here are the most popular games for the month of February. Xbox One is still on the list, but the Playstation 4 hasn't quite gained the popularity to bring it to the top, probably because we just got it.It will be interesting to see how Nintendo's recent news about discontinuing online play for the Wii and DS will affect the leaderboard, if at all.

It's been a busy month. Even bad weather and classes being canceled couldn't keep people from hanging out in the archive and getting their gaming fix. Here are the games that were most popular over the course of last month.

To top off the year, we have our list of most popular games played during the month of December. Our newer games and systems topped the list, with Mariokart claiming its stake for the Nintendo team.

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.

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!

Here is our most popular games list for the month of October. Soccer games dominate the board, with first-person shooters coming in a close second. People are also putting our new games to good use - FIFA 14 and Grand Theft Auto V. And Mariokart makes the list once more.

Our new bulletin board display features the Ouya console - a game console powered by an Android OS that was built to bring games that were formally playable only on phones onto your television.We had an opportunity to check out several free games that were installed on our Ouya, and chose to showcase some of them here. My personal favorite is EVAC, which I like to describe as a souped-up game of Pacman, with a guy trash talking you the whole way through. It gives the old game a fresh feel.

Our student worker Mike Lynch explores the human search for feelings in all aspects of life - and specifically, in video games.

Two events coming up this week that you won't want to miss:
The Digital Media Commons Presents Leap Motion Launch Event: The future of Human Computer Interaction?
Character Animation.

Here is the list of most popular games played in the archive during the month of September. A lot of old favorites top the list, along with a few new games, including Madden NFL 25 and NCAA Football 14.
