"It's Afghanistanimation!"

My season for big blockbuster reviews has ended with Far Cry 3, now I will be taking in user requested reviews and what ever small ones that I feel like writing... There has been many surprises this year like; Journey and Spec Ops The Line. There has also been some major let downs. Medal of Honor Warfighter, and Resident Evil OP Raccoon City ring any bells?

What has been your major surprise and disappointing game of this year?

I know a lot of people don't like it. It has some great ideas and if tecmo had more time and money the game could of been great. I still like it and find it quite fun.

If you played this game all the way through you'll be begging for a second one and it would probably be your first A++ review.

The only one that has ever gotten that score was Bioshock. Steel Batallion also had great ideas with perma death squad mates, and enemy soldiers sticking their knives and guns in the cracks to kill them which forces you to save them some how... But the execution of the entire control system was broken thanks to the Kinect.

Devil May Cry HD Collection review pl0x.
I never have played a DMC game before. Maybe it is time.

Trying to think of the games I actually bought this year.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 (5/10): Solid gameplay that improved vastly on its predecessor, but an absolute abomination of a story which completely ruined the wonderful experience of XIII (it was my favourite FF) for me. I wish it had never been made. Hopefully Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will be better, but the damage is done.

Mass Effect 3 (8/10): Dat ending. Hated it, hated it, hated it. Much of the rest of the game was flawed too, but had moments of utter brilliance that balanced it out. Would have been a 7/10 but the Extended Cut bumped it up a notch. Still the worst in the trilogy by far.

Kid Icarus: Uprising (8/10): My second-favourite 3DS game. It's rare that Nintendo actually does something new, so this was a real surprise to me; not so much a reboot of a franchise as a reinvention. Wonderful dialogue, tight gameplay perfectly suited to the handheld, lovely graphics and a musical score that's utterly divine (bad pun.)

Kingdom Hearts 3D (9/10): Huge fan of the series, this was a brilliant addition to the franchise and story. Best gameplay to date, some brilliant music, gorgeous graphics and although the story plodded along for most of the game, the last four hours were utterly incredible. Didn't hurt that Riku's the main protagonist; he's a much better character than Sora.

Assassin's Creed 3 (8/10): A flawed gem if I've ever played one. The story of the revolution was perfect, full of thematic depth and emotion. The modern-day story was awful, and completely ruined a plot I'd loved since AC1. Gameplay was a mixed bag; combat's more challenging but ultimately I felt like my options were limited compared to the other games. Naval battles were incredible, Ubisoft should make a pirate game.

Halo 4 (9/10): Probably my game of the year out of all I've played. Best story in the series, wonderful characterisation and gorgeous graphics. Full of content that'll keep me playing for ages too. Gameplay's solid, and only just falls short of that quintessential Bungie magic - I thought CE had some flawes too, where they came into their own with Halo 2. Hopefully 343i will do the same with Halo 5.

That's it. Not nearly as hardcore a gamer as you, clearly, but I get by. No 10/10 for me this year. 2009 had AC2, 2010 had ME2 and 2011 had Deus Ex: HR and Skyrim. Ah well. Here's to 2013 and the inevitable next-generation.

*raises glass* Here is to it! Since Bioshock got delayed. I don't know what my first game will be.

Great minds discuss ideas

Average minds discuss events

Small minds discuss people

I personally enjoy your reviews a bunch. It's always good to get multiple viewpoints, and most critics can be a bit to sterile in their review. You need to do Bioshock: Infinite once it comes out.

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

Can't wait for the next next season of reviews.

OT: Are we suggesting future game reviews?

GTA 5

I already am! My most favorite game of all time was the first Bioshock!

Yep! Loved Metro 2033, and there is a new trailer coming out for it pretty soon.
