Seven Games to Gift Someone in Christmas 2012

The past few months have shown an incredible number of high profile video games being released. Franchises like Assassin's Creed, Halo and Far Cry have all released the next installment in their franchise. But with so many dozens of games that have gotten great reviews and high scores from critics, what are the best? What games would be the best to buy this Christmas Season (Holiday Season)?

That's messed up.

Just to note, Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition is available now for PC. If you have a younger sibling or nephew who hasn't experienced the awesomeness of 90s RPGs, that would be a good way to introduce them to it.

I would add Binary Domain to the list definitely a fun one and can be purchased for cheap now to.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.
