Top 10 Games of 2013
Each year gamers are bombarded with a wide variety of games to enjoy and 2013 was no exception. There are always many to choose from with a handful of truly exceptional must play games that we enjoyed in 2013. Plus we witnessed the launch of the next generation of consoles that is going to fill the next decade with a plethora of games.
Top 10 Games of 2012
Every year in video games is filled with exceptional games, some years have better games than others, but overall there is always a collection of standout game titles that turn out to be must play games for any true gamer. Here is my top 10 games of 2012.
Hitman: Absolution
I never played any of the previous Hitman games. They have a bit of a cult following for the bad ass bald Agent 47 character and unique gameplay style. For some reason the previous entries didn’t appeal to me or maybe at the time of their release there were too many other great games vying for my attention.
Dishonored
In a time when big game publishers are more concerned with cashing in on well established franchise with their annual or bi-annual sequel, it is becoming more and more rare for new original ideas in gaming to get developed and released. Dishonored is one of the few original intellectual properties for 2013.
Assassin’s Creed III
The Assassin’s Creed franchise is fantastic. I’ve been hooked on it since the first and completed each one. However I have felt that they are releasing them too often. I get the publisher, Ubisoft, is trying to cash in on the popularity of it, however it will succeed more with some breathing room and anticipation between releases. I didn’t play Brotherhood until about 6 months after its release, and the same with Revelations.
Max Payne 3
Gotta hand it to Rockstar, after so many years since the original Max Payne game they go out and bring the game back to life in a full on reboot. I have to admit, at first I wasn’t sure that they were going to pull it off, but after completing the game, impressively enough, they pulled it off and knocked it out of the park. They retained the classic elements while elevating the game with stellar action driven gameplay and a remarkably good story to keep you captivated through to the end.
E3 2012
Gamers are rejoicing this week as it is the biggest week for the gaming industry and gamers alike with the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or more commonly known as E3. This is when the console manufactures and game developers announce all the latest video games and hardware lineup for the forthcoming 12 to 18 months.
Deus Ex: The Missing Link DLC
While a little late, it’s better than never, I finally got back to Deus Ex: Human Revolution to play The Missing Link DLC. After a few hundred hours of Skyrim, I finally broke away to play some other games. I completed Saint’s Row: The Third, it was stupid fun but nothing amazing, then I decided to go back to one of my Top 10 Games of 2011, Deus Ex and play The Missing Link DLC.
Top 10 Games of 2011
After writing up my Top 10 Music Albums of 2011, I thought it might be a good idea to share My Top 10 Games of 2011. I play a lot of games, constantly. They are so immersive, engaging, and damn addictive. In today’s age of technology game development teams have moved into the realm of great stories, visuals, sound design, and gameplay that creates for amazing experiences and entertainment.
