Either Silent Hill Downpour or the Silent Hill HD Collection because I just love Silent Hill... I'm noticing a trend here but Mass Effect 3 was great but the combat and exploration grew tiresome around 3 quarters of the way through and the characters were just generally not as good as those in ME2... In my opinion!
Mass Effect 3 is the only thing I loved this year, apart from THOSE five minutes. Yeah, I'm pretty original. Risen 2 was also pretty sweet. I'd actually played the first game, and this solved most of the issues I had with that. It's also the most refreshing game I've played this year, being an RPG in a non-Tolkienesque and non-scifi world for once.
mass effect 3 -minus the ending - It was an amazing emotional rollercoaster I teared up a lot And if not for the ending would have made my top ten games of all time
Thats the only game I have bought that came out this year nothing else has interesed me -been a crap year so far for games-

For me the best games so far have to be:
Firstly: Mass Effect 3-- Love the story sans old endings-- I live in Europe ffs I get my extended cut tomorrow.
Secondly: Max Payne 3-- Haven't played any other Max Payne's but I totally love the gameplay especially the slow motion dives and the mission you get chased by the Mob.
Thirdly: I guess SoulCalibur 5 but it was a sort of meh experience. The best SoulCalibur game I played was SoulCalibur 3 where there was a point in creating characters i.e Campaign Mode. That Campaign just made it so much sweeter unlocking the original character's styles. Oh and also the individual character story were more varied and in-depth than fight 5 enemies in a row for no reason then kill UBERBOZZ.

I think Diablo III and ME3 are the only games released this year that I've bought.
Gonna have to go with ME3 anyways, since Blizzard really dropped the ball with D3.
I hate them.

Well for me it would have to be:
Mass Effect 3
The Walking Dead
Diablo III
So, like a lot of other posters.

Agreed! Crusader Kings II is one of the best Paradox games yet.The Madman said:
In no other game can you win by slaughtering several of your own children or marrying your first cousin. I'm currently playing as House Jimena, ruling Aragon and Navarre under one crown. I've had to become a monstrous tyrant just to keep my dynasty and realm intact. It really pushes the frontiers of political intrigue.
DayZ. (Read my review [a

Also: Mass Effect 3. There's a fantastic atmosphere running through that game. I loved it, on the whole.

Diablo 3. People give that game so much unwarranted shit even though it does exactly what it set out to do.
Coming back to mini-necro this thread now that I've actually played Crusader Kings II to say...MammothBlade said:
Well everything above. So much of all this. Maybe I'm just in a honeymoon phase, but this game is ridiculously addicting. The stories you get from this game...
This is the game where my daughter killed my son, but afterwards I didn't dare avenge him because I needed to eventually become that daughter in order to continue my dynasty.
While some say Mass Effect 3....
This:
OH MY GOD THIS GAME IS FUN.
Its like Shining Force but with Pokemon in it. Its perfect! Its challenging! And the tutorial is only the first 3 battles, after that your pretty much fucked if your not smart! I might even put it in my top 10!
The only thing is that the music does drag on a bit but I've only just taken control of the electric castle so I have a long way to go.

Max Payne 3. I raged a bit at the annoying hit boxes(Max's hit boxes, getting shot randomly in the head and being killed was rather annoying.) But other than that I really enjoyed it and it was a rather memorable experience. Especially on the air port level and the music starts playing. Max Payne is a badass and you feel like him. And you get to shoot guidos, what more could a man possibly want out of a game?
