"2011 was the last big shebang of this generation, but that doesn’t mean that 2012 is a dying breath.
Across all franchises, platforms and genres, 2012 is a big year filled to the brim with quality titles.
In no particular order, here are ten upcoming games that you really should get this year."
Otherwise it's a good list. Halo 4 and Dishonored look promising.
With Black Ops I was originally not interested, then I saw the trailer and was suddenly interested, but then have seen more video of it and am back to being disinterested. MOH looks like the better shooter so far.
A good list though, with games on many platforms.
An honorable mention should be PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale. It may be a smash bros. clone, but that's why people will buy it.
Or is it? Actually I change my mind. I'm sick of Mario and co. and think a great fun fighting game like Super Smash but with Sony characters is going to be great.
I'd like to see a MS one too.
And yeah, throw Farcry 3 and Boarderlands 2 in there for sure.
Started on the weekend and have played about 30 hours already. Level 24 character.
Boardlands 2 will be a Critical Hit.
The fact that they are releasing prior to the big titles at the end of the year, coupled with word of mouth from those that have given the first one a try (probably after getting it later from the bargain bin), means this one should do great!
no more waiting for those games
What do you do all year?
You should give Dishonored a try. It looks like it's borrowed heavily from Bioshock and Thief, and that's a good thing.
I might go for Warfighter if it gets some solid feedback.
Same crap we see every year - Everyone should ignore this garbage
