    Hitman: Absolution?

    Ac3 and far cry 3 are about the only 2 games left this year that Im truly excited about. I really hope I enjoy dishonored but I just havent seen anything that has gotten me excited about that game. On another note I really hope 2013 comes cause that year is going to be amazing for games.

    I know I'm in a minority, but I'm actually looking forward to PS All Stars. I have liked what I've seen from Far Cry though. That game looks pretty awesome.

  • sweetchiliheat - October 1, 2012 1:43 p.m.

    I'm excited about all of these, excluding ZombiU and XCOM. Personally, I'm most excited about Halo 4 though.

  • D0CCON - October 1, 2012 2 p.m.

    I've already gotten Halo 4 paid for, as for the games I don't have paid for and will be on my Christmas list, Far Cry 3 and Dishonored are at the top.

  • samsneeze - October 1, 2012 2:04 p.m.

    Far Cry 3 should be fun. That's the only thing on this list that I feel is even remotely interesting to be honest.

  • lazer59882 - October 1, 2012 2:10 p.m.

    to be honest, i haven't a clue what's coming out in 2013, i've been looking forward to a handful of these games so much. i can't imagine peple saying nothing's out this year...what's coming out in 2013 that's supposed to be so earth shattering to overshadow AC3 dishonored and farcry 3?

  • wadesmit - October 1, 2012 2:18 p.m.

    XCOM:Enemy Unknown has really caught my surprise from out of nowhere. But other than that, nothing else on this list appeals to me much.

  • IronBadger - October 1, 2012 2:32 p.m.

    Sonic Racing Transformed?

  • Moondoggie1157 - October 1, 2012 2:33 p.m.

    I actually think of one game on that list that I am excited for... Either I'm extremely picky or an asshole :( Aside from Pokemon Black/White 2, I guess I'll be attacking my back catalogue of games... Final Fantasy 13-2 and Dead Space 2 it is.

  • Moondoggie1157 - October 1, 2012 2:33 p.m.

    can't think***

  • shawksta - October 1, 2012 3:13 p.m.

    Im excited for Layton Miracle Mask, Paper Mario Sticker Star, Dishonored, Far Cry 3, The Wii U with its Launch Titles, Assassins Creed 3 and a few others

    The list is missing 007 Legends, which i expect will be the best FPS of the year... and possibly all time. You might be able to tell from my avatar (a photoshopped version of the cover art from the 2008 edition Diamonds are Forever) that i'm a little bit of a James Bond fanboy, however. I'm also more excited for Black Ops II than Halo 4. Treyarch are doing enough differently that the annual excitement is justified for once, while the same cannot be said of the Halo franchise.

  • ThatGamerDude - October 1, 2012 4:23 p.m.

    Out of this list, the only games I plan on buying is NfS: Most Wanted, Halo 4 and Far Cry 3. However, I've already pre-ordered Pokemon Black Version 2 and may even buy Forza Horizon, LBP Karting, Black Ops II as well as a few others if I can. I'm seriously going to go broke buy the end of this year!

  • GoldenEagle1476 - October 1, 2012 4:34 p.m.

    The same cannot be said about the Halo franchise? Really? This is the first Halo game not being made by Bungie (not counting Halo Wars or CE: Anniversary) so that alone should make people exicted for the game. However, there's also an entirely new enemy, new story, new characters, new weapons, and a new setting. I'm not trying to say that you should feel more exicted for Halo 4. I'm just trying to make it clear that there's definitely going to be some differences between this game and the rest in the series.

  • Errrrbo - October 1, 2012 4:50 p.m.

    Could we all stop pretending ZombiU is getting attention for any reason other than it being a WiiU exclusive that's also dark? If that game was on Xbox 360 or PS3, it wouldn't be getting nearly as much attention.

  • YesConsiderably - October 1, 2012 4:58 p.m.

    I don't think so, no. At least not to nearly the same extent. Black Ops II is to feature a branching narrative in which your decisions and actions/inactions affect not only the way the events of the game play out, but also retroactively alter the antagonist's motives. Really, the new futuristic setting is one of the least impressive changes Treyarch are making with the game. Halo 4 has a new location and some new enemies... my response is: so? It should be doing that anyway. Nothing has been added that will drastically alter the experience.

  • GoldenEagle1476 - October 1, 2012 5:07 p.m.

    From all the videos and trailers I've seen of Black Ops II, it still looks like a frantic shooting rampage. Even if it does include a branching narrative, it will in no way alter that experience.
