I have played over 70 different games this year, but which ones rocked and which ones sucked?
Without further ado, here are my personal favorites:
Best Games of the Year
#1 - Assassin's Creed III
I have to give the shiny first place to AC3. As many of you might know, Assassin's Creed II was the game that made me start doing video guides on YouTube. The Assassin's Creed franchise is something sacred to me and I can't get enough of these games. I don't remember playing any other single player mode so extensively this year. There are some glitches here and there, but I didn't have any serious problems that kept me from getting trophies or continuing in the story. It's definitely the biggest Assassin's Creed thus far and a lot of fun to play. Besides, this was my most anticipated game of the year, too.
#2 - Borderlands 2
Borderlands 2 was a big surprise to me. It's very different from all other games and truly original in every way.
I like this mix of Comic Graphics / First Person Shooter / RPG and the good amount of humour. Thanks to the extremely well done voice acting the interactions are very entertaining and memorable. Playing Co-Op ads even more fun. Well done Gearbox Software!
#3 - Far Cry 3
One of the best Shooter in years! FC2 was okay, but FC3 tops the scale. This game was designed in a very user friendly way. Everything you need to know is shown on the in-game map which makes it a lot easier to find stuff in this gigantic open world. The graphics are gorgeous and the nature looks really awesome and feels alive with all the animals that you can hunt and all the enemy outposts & patrols that you encounter. There is a lot to do in this game and the trophies / achievements are enjoyable as well.
Most Disappointing Game of the Year
Resident Evil 6
Sad enough that a game gives me reason to make this category. RE6 simply sucks and it totally deserves all the bad reviews and critics. Capcom promoted this game so much, but it feels like they destroyed everything Resident Evil stands for. If you've played it you will know what I mean... since when do zombies shoot at you with guns or maneuver helicopters and motorcycles? The characters are under-developed because their stories are so extremely short and it feels like you spend most of the time climbing ropes or crawling across exploding floors. It's very boring and has nothing to do with zombies at all.
