    Okay, comments: Dishonored: Also Half-Life 2, Thief, and Bioshock. Seriously, if you're waiting for Bioshock Infinite you NEED Dishonored on your Xmas list. Assassin's Creed III: "The Assassin’s Creed series has been one of our favorites for a long while now, and seeing it move towards a MODERN-DAY setting has us extremely excited." Eh, what? Incidentally, I'm still worried its going to devolve into a straight KILL THE REDCOATS nonsense. Seriously, I played it recently and it involved massacring an entire British camp just to get an old note they had nothing whatsoever to do with. At least the other AC games gave you reasons why you were killing people. XCOM: Well chosen. Halo 4: "Picks up after the last game's finale". Was Master Chief in Halo Reach? "John-117 has been disappointingly absent from the Halo franchise since 2007" Oh, and Anniversary too.

    Someones butthurt because the Conner takes the American side in the conflict? Makes sense. We fought for freedom and to end british rule over us. And we won. We kicked british ass and we could do it again if we had to.

  • Dman3981 - October 5, 2012 9:17 p.m.

    They should make a game about when Canada kicked your ass, just saying.

  • zombi3grim - October 6, 2012 4:59 a.m.

    Lmao. Canada? The fuck kind of alternate universe do you live in? Theres a reason Canada stays out of conflict.

  • Hig1134 - October 6, 2012 7:49 a.m.

    Yeah...Canada is a place of sensible, peaceful people..unlike America, the most violent, corrupt place on the planet. America seems to suit you quite well

  • zombi3grim - October 6, 2012 10:22 a.m.

    Canada has never had to fight oppression for their freedom. We have. Most violent corrupt place? Take a trip to the congo my friend. Where the government controles the food distribution and militias freely rape women and children. Dont hate on America because we're civilized AND we kick ass. We're just that good.

  • IamTheBalance - October 6, 2012 4:56 p.m.

    Said while all your rights are being taken away as we speak. You already lost the right to due process and free speech, U.S. military launching drone strikes on unarmed villages filled with women and children. Even going so far as to bomb a funeral again killing numerous innocent women and children. War crimes have been uncovered involving u.s. soldiers killing and raping innocents. U.S. is no different than the congo as you say. they are just more secretive about it and imprison indefinitely anyone who makes their war crimes public. sooo 'MERICA.. F**K YEAAAA!!

  • zombi3grim - October 6, 2012 5:05 p.m.

    Lmao, what the fuck have you been reading? Stay away from Alex Jones and try MOVING to the U.S. Adjust your tinfoil hat too.

  • IamTheBalance - October 6, 2012 5:16 p.m.

    also ever hear of a man named Jeremy Hammond? ex military currently being imprisoned for handing documents containing proof of U.S. war crimes to Wikileaks and if convicted could face the death penalty. Got to love free speech!!

  • zombi3grim - October 6, 2012 6:11 p.m.

    I was literally just like you when I was 15. Hell, I still believe 9/11 was an inside job. But then I grew up. My brother joined the military. I joined the military. I got married. I lived a happy life. I see people protesting in the streets. I see people suing other people over every little thing. I see people making fun of Presidents on late night talk shows. I used to buy into ALL of the "oh we have no free speech, we're not free, our government controles everything!" When you get a little bit older, you start to put shit into perspective. I dont get my news from Fox. Thats another thing that HASNT changed. I DESPISE Fox and most mainstream media. Now Im not saying unjust things dont happen. Im not saying innocent people dont get put in prison. It DOES happen. Is it some huge government conspiracy to control the world? Not likley...

  • IamTheBalance - October 6, 2012 7:04 p.m.

    Never said it was. and i like how you you start off your statement with mindless speculation of my age when growing up is when i opened my eyes. also never said it was a conspiracy to control the world. all i did was point out that the u.s. is not all awesome and righteous as you so gladly tried to claim. But no please continue with your mindless speculations and turning my words into something they were not.

  • zombi3grim - October 6, 2012 8:56 p.m.

    The US is awsome and righteous because its my home country. My brother is fighting in the military and I also joined and served. Im proud of where I live and what my country represents. Its not perfect. But its my home. And if you cant be proud of where you come from, you're just a sad and lonley little person in my eyes.

  • zombi3grim - October 6, 2012 9:01 p.m.

    Its actually very much the opposite. You start puberty and you're a rebelious teenager. You hear about how America is so great and amazing and you immediatly scoff at the idea because to you, authority or power is something to be fought. When you're a teen its all about finding yourself and you like to strike out and rebel. You like to extremly express your individuality by dying your hair and piercing your lip. You automatically reject the idea that order and law can cohesivly work because to you its something you fight everyday. Your parents. Your parents are the ultimate authority figure when you're a teen and you hate it. Just like you hate cops and presidents and government alike. When you GROW UP and get a family you learn alot about society and how it functions. Its not perfect. But its not the terrible beast of world domination you once thought it was either.

  • IamTheBalance - October 6, 2012 9:15 p.m.

    Being proud of your country and being proud of your government are 2 different things. You can be a patriot and despise the government. To not want to stand up against the government that is ruining this country i find is unpatriotic. Your country is where you are born and raised and you should be proud of where you come from and i am. im just not happy with what the government is doing to this country and i for one would like to do my part to make it a better place

  • bamit11 - October 4, 2012 7:36 a.m.

    Dishonoered will be better than all of these other games.

  • talleyXIV - October 3, 2012 5:51 p.m.

    Yes because people are lining up for XCOM: Enemy Unknown...... Assassin's Creed 3 and Halo 4 are definitely way more hyped, not saying that XCOM is not as good as the other two games...

  • ranivus - October 4, 2012 8:34 p.m.

    I love how kids try to make fun of things they don't understand. If you're 21 years or younger, there's a 99% chance that you never tried to play one of the best games of the early 90s. For all those kids who don't know, X-Com, Syndicate Wars, AND fallout all started out as turned based games. The first titles of each of those franachises will always be known as classics. Legendary comes to mind. Look at all those athletes that are immortalized in Museums and hall of fames. Sure you never seen Terry Bradshaw, Barry Sanders or Howie Long play football but they're all legends in their own right. Much is the same to classic video game titles.

  • e1337prodigy - October 3, 2012 11:11 a.m.

    MoH Warfighter or is that not out until next year? Football Manager 2013, although more for us Europeans.

  • jackthemenace - October 3, 2012 7:50 a.m.

    The only thing here I think I'll be playing at any point soon is Dishonoured. And I'm not even sure if I'll buy THAT new, it might end up just being a rental, unless I buy it discounted later down the line.

  • winner2 - October 2, 2012 5:33 p.m.

    Dishonored, AC3, FC3, and maybe Hitman are the only ones I particularly care about here. I know my brothers will be getting CoD and Halo 4 so I'm hoping those will be fun, but I'll wait for gameplay before I get too excited. Pumped for dishonored though, gonna get it when I get home for fall break. And AC3 over thanksgiving probably. On a side note, I thought FC3 got pushed back to next year?

  • ThundaGawd - October 3, 2012 4:30 p.m.

    FC3 was supposed to have come out in September but it was pushed back to December, if I remember correctly.

  • Rowdie - October 2, 2012 5:31 p.m.

    By the time I was about the click on the next button to see #1 I was sure Xcom wasn't going to be on the list.... ahhh Winning. Just because I was so ready to complain; I can't get excited about any game that looks to have QTEs in it.

  • rob-hall - October 2, 2012 5:26 p.m.

    You missed DUST 514.. connected via PS3 console to the only PC MMO that has grown in subscribers every year for 9 years running.. EVE Online. EVE isn't for the faint of heart.. nor is DUST 514. PS3 Console and PC gaming in real time connected together in persistent gameplay.. it's revolutionary.. and happening this year!

  • lilspooky - October 2, 2012 3:35 p.m.

    12-12-12 Hawken! http://www.playhawken.com

  • gtaivac_ - October 2, 2012 11:18 a.m.

    screw CoD but this list is missing Tranzit

  • pl4y4h - October 2, 2012 8:31 a.m.

    Really hoping they keep or improve upon the story of NFS: MW. I don't want them to just strip away all the plot and just give us cars and cops. The story and progression in the first one were just as fun and important.

  • TehRadge - October 2, 2012 7:53 a.m.

    The list is missing Black Ops 2 :P On a serious note, PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale

  • EdDeRs1 - October 2, 2012 7:43 a.m.

    once again another site has missed WWE '13, its perfectly acceptable to be pumped for the latest football game but nobody seems interested in the latest WWE game, i wonder why...

  • patbateman17 - October 2, 2012 5:52 a.m.

    So what's the likelihood that Bethesda totally bones Dishonored on PS3? After Skyrimgate I'm not sure I can really trust them - anyway just picked up Borderlands 2 which has been a blast, so by the time I'm ready for a new game, the news should be out if Bethesda screwed the pooch again.
