I finished RDR a year ago and got L.A. Noire and DNF at launch. Platinumed L.A. Noire after getting it. Plan on platinuming DNF some time this year.
They should take a cue from EA. Syndicate was just announced a few months ago and within weeks of the announcement they announced a February 21 release date. Already got mine pre-ordered ;)
2013, unfortunately
You must've been playing something different such as the terrible Wii Castlevania becuase all the stuff you are saying wasn't in LoS definitely was.
Dragon Age II ruled
I own Catherine, Bulletstorm, Duke Nukem Forever, Shadows of the Damned, Red Faction: Armageddon, F.E.A.R. 3, Homefront, Dragon Age II and Yakuza 4. Paid $64 for all except Yakuza 4 ($10 at Wal-Mart). Here's games I hadn't played..
MW3
Skyrim
Batman
Battlefield 3
Rayman
AC: Revelations
I'd murder anyone to have AW on PS3. I talked to some folks from Remedy quite often about it.
Heavy Rain = Should be on Top 10 list of all time
Lolwut? Those are some of the best games this year. L.A. Noire, Dragon Age II and Rage are in my top 10.
The Last of Us
Yakuza: Dead Souls
The Last Guardian
Starhawk
FFvXIII and Agent if they ever f@#$%?! come out!
Why no sale for end of the year?! Maybe next week. Here's hoping for alot more PS2 games such as Indigo Prophecy, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Resident Evil: Dead Aim, XIII and many others. Plus, I want my Fatal Frame HD Collection!
MotorStorm: Apocalypse was just $5 at Best Buy!
Top 10
Catherine
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Uncharted 3
L.A. Noire
Dragon Age II
Bulletstorm
Portal 2
Rage
Shadows of the Damned
Resistance 3
God, they need to scrap this turd and finish something actually worth money like Agent. All you do half the time in these boring @$$ games is drive around. Why not allow Fast travel or have whoever is with you drive so you can cut to a destination? Similar to L.A. Noire (which I consider a masterpiece).
I loved DNF.. Don't care for the others..
Yeah, the combat in Dragon Age: Origins was laugh worthy because of how terrible it is. 'Right away' or 'As you wish' everytime you press attack. Needless to say, I absolutely love Dragon Age II.
Snatcher is my all-time favorite game. Funny enough, it's by Kojima as well. Since I bought at launch, it's kind of tied with Snatcher.
Any GTA for me. God awful boring. All you do is drive around half the time. Hasn't Rockstar heard of either Fast Travel or let the other person drive so it'll cut to the destination like in L.A Noire (which is a brilliant game to me).
Pretty much, minus The Last Guardian, Starhawk, The Last of Us, Halo 4, Fable Journey and Dust 514.
Excellent article
