Your game of the year

[edyzmedieval]

I think I will go with Shogun 2 TW as well.

[Drunk Clown]

DOTA 2 if that's allowed.

Otherwise Skyrim.

[Martok]

Hmm, this is a tough one.

At the moment, I'd have to say Armada 2526 - Supernova. However, Distant Worlds - Legends is starting to give it a real run for its money, and I suspect will continue to do so the more I play it.

[Kekvit Irae]

What about worst games? There's been some god-awful bungles this year.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter -- You'll find it next to "Seriously, dude?" in the thesaurus.

Duke Nukem Forever for me. And for a lot of fans of Duke Nukem too, apparently.

[Drunk Clown]

To me Rise of Immortals
...my god... so bad..

[Monk]

1. Saints Row the Third
2. Deus Ex: HR
3. Skyrim

While I haven't played a lot of this year's games yet, I can't see any of them managing to unseat Shogun II. In terms of total hours played and surprise "It's not rubbish?! Oh my gosh - it's great!" factor nothing else comes close. It is my favourite strategy game and probably my favourite PC game of all time. Heh, and I only gave it a chance because TosaInu gently nagged me about it!

Worst game? Sword of the Stars II. Or do alpha quality games not count, since we're talking about full releases? :cough: Thank heavens I didn't have the money to preorder it.

Homefront by a LONG way. To think I had the confidence to pre-order it...

Skyrim would have to be the best I think, though I still maintain that Morrowind is the best in the series.

[Hamata]

I miss the days of good, atmospheric FPS games.

if you like those kinds of FPS try killzone 2 for the PS3 seconed best shooter next to MAG imo

[Monk]

There hasn't been a good shooter in ages. And there won't be, until developers stop pandering to the Multiplayer FPS community. All these games are just really bad clones of eachother.

I miss the days of good, atmospheric FPS games. The original Call of Duty (and its' expansion) were the very definition of awesome for me.

Metro: 2033 and the STALKER franchise would like a word with you.

That and the second one were fantastic. It has gone seriously downhill since then. I bought the first three Brother's In Arms the other day on Steam for just this reason - to me they were some of the most fun games simply because the characters had depth and depiction of war was often just brutally honest. It is such a pity that the franchise is moving away from this.

[Andres]

Skyrim.

[seireikhaan]

Dark Souls. Beaten it with two characters, and 2/3 of the way with with a third. Mostly fantastic, very fun fighting through with different styles. A worthy successor.

[CountArach]

Yeah, I remember the first Brothers in Arms, that was a hard game! Much harder than most of the other shooters around at the time.

I tried playing it through on hard with no cross hair and the home rule that I could only look down the sights if I was kneeling, prone or behind cover. I just hit the wall at one point and couldn't do it. Such a brutally hard game.
