    Best game you've played this year?
    So E3 has just passed...and a whole new bunch of amazing games have been unveiled, and have polluted my mind with insane thoughts on how to get cash money to buy them all.

    But as for this year, so far, what's the best game you've played?

    I really can't decide.
    I've played quite a few great games, but I'd shrink the list to these (in no particular order):

    - Dragon's Dogma.

    - Dark Souls.

    - Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. I was never really interested in the franchise until I played it at a friend's house. Got so, so addicted.

    But I think my favourite game of this year so far would have to be:

    Journey.

    Edit: The game doesn't have to have come out this year, but you bought it this year, like.

    Picture related, I've played it for around 87 hours for one playthrough, but it is super fun

    Only bought dark souls and battlefield 3 this year and couldn't get into either so I'm gonna say Skyrim from last year is what I've enjoyed most to play this year. In fact I haven't bought any full games (bought a couple of arcade games) released this year.

    Ive also bought various cheap games on steam but haven't played most, they will be played when I'm done building my pc later this month.

    Loved that game. Never completed it though, as my disc just got heavily scratched one day whilst inside my PS3.

    Great game, but quite a few annoying bugs. I remember going to Solitude as part of a quest and the woman I was with just began attacking me for no reason. Couldn't continue at all. I even paid a random bounty off and she still wanted to kill me.

    Battlefield 3.

    Ever since I got Battlefield 3, I've never looked back at COD, COD is too overrated.

    That's a shame, I wouldn't have encountered that problem cause I downloaded it for my PC. There's some bad news too, there will never be a sequel due to the makers of the game laying off their whole staff due to money troubles. You can read about it here :unimpressed:

    Mine is also another release from last year - Mafia II. I've always loved open world driving/shooting games - and for me this actually beats the Driver franchise (which I was obsessed with a few years ago).

    I've still got the fallout 3 DLC waiting to be done, and the rest of skyrim as it is...

    If I ever want to buy a bethesda game again, I need someone to hit me over the head and tel me how many other things could fill my time.

    Out of the ones I'VE played it has to be Mass Effect 3. Yes, I am ignoring the ending. Still a great game up until then.

    Hasn't been the best year for gaming personally, enjoying The Witcher 2 though.

    This year, as in from 2012? Tetris.

    Since A2's started I haven't exactly had the chance to play many newer games.

    Max Payne 3, prototype 2, and last years assassins creed revelations. I was at e3 and I'm so excited for AC, CoD:BO, GTA, and Bioshock.

    Skyrim. It's all I've played this year. Screw online gaming.

    Hopefully I can get my gaming PC before Dawnguard comes out so I don't fall behind the loop.
