Looking back at the year we departed from just a handful of days ago it’s hard to suggest that 2011 wasn’t a great year for gaming. From shooters to RPGs, from new beginnings to dramatic conclusions, from the return of classics to exciting new universes, there was something for everyone to love. Most of us are trying to get around to playing even half of the games that were released this past quarter, let alone finish such great games as Skyrim and Skyward Sword. And yet, while we still reel from having so much to play from this past Fall we have entered 2012, a year that has an exciting list of new games that will do their best to reduce our productivity to all-time lows.
Gray Zone Warfare is fast-becoming one of the most exciting shooters of the year. Here's everything you need to know about it.
If you are considering getting Diablo 4, Steam offers an incredible discount, so now is the perfect time to do it.
Finding Landmarks can be crucial for your Fortnite games, either for loot or for quests.
Whilst I agree with many featured on the list, I don't agree with the listing of "The Last of Us", yes the trailer was fantastic, yes Naughty Dogs track record is brilliant, but it's a new IP with almost no information regarding gameplay released, therefor how can we state that it will be one of the defining games next year?
Mine would be:
Grand Theft Auto V
Bioshock Infinite
Hitman Absolution
Halo 4
Prey 2
Mass Effect 3
The Last Guardian
For me personally it will be
Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron - A game were I can play as a transforming robotic tyrannosaurus that breaths fire? who can say no?! Plus War for Cybertron was highly underatted, it was liek the arkham asylum to TF fans.
Prey 2: Love the idea of being a bounty hunter in a game and have always thought it makes for a great game similar to Star Wars Bounty hunter but set in a blade runner stylised alien city.
Aliens Colonial Marines: I really, really, reallly want this to be great and thankfully so far it does and I hope gearbox puts their effort into this unlike some "other" titles because if any series deserves a game to honour it, it is the aliens film as its given so much inspiration to gaming.
Mass Effect 3: I also want this to be good but I want to see a return of the wide customisation from ME1 and a return to a grander story as seen in ME1. I want to see bigger zones because SWTOR is an MMO and has huge zones were as ME is a strictly SP game, why were the zones in ME2 so small? plus why was the mako replaced with firing darts at a planet? it has potential but not my pre order.
GTA IV: I dont like the realisim appraoch the series has taken, I find they get boring after the main story as there is not much content to be had after. Until it surpasses SA in terms of content il have to hold it off.
Far Cry 3: VERY impressed with this so far! grpahically looks phenomenal and the combat looks slick, smooth and intuitive (aslong as that was not QTEs). The voice acting and characters also look amazing, "have I ever told you the defintion of insanity?"
THe Last of Us: The Premise is great but I cant comment as I havent seen any execution and its a new IP
This list sucks except for Bioshock Infinite, GTA V and The Last of Us. List needs more PS3 and Vita exclusives.
Twisted Metal is going to define 2012 for me because that's the game I'll be playing the most.
