2008 was good. 2012 is meh.

EDIT: But if GTA V releases this year, then all will be well.

I have tons of great PS3 games to keep me busy over 2012 anyway, so there's nothing to cry about. Dude, this year has GTA V, The Last of Us, Halo 4, Max Payne 3, Resident Evil 6 and Diablo 3, so what are you crying about?

If Pikmin 3 and Rayman Legends release this year, then this could be a very monumental year for me.

My favourite franchise of all time has been absent for 8 years and is finally getting a reveal at E3. Some signs are pointing to Pikmin 3 being a Wii U launch title.

Then there's the sequel to this gen's best platformer. Rayman Legends' trailer was leaked a week ago and if its still being developed by Michel Ancel and Company this could be another platforming masterpiece.

Diablo 3 and possibly SC2 Hots are coming out this year so you're automatically wrong.

Lol what? This year we get PS All Stars, Halo 4, Bioshock Infinite, The Last of Us (possibly this year) and GTA 5 (most likely this year) and plenty more. This is a good year for gamers.

And 2008 was great too: GTA4, Fallout 3, LBP (My personal 2008 GOTY), MGS4 ect...I don't know what's wrong with you.

I'm having a lot of fun this year.

And the ones I'm really excited for have yet to be released.

How can 2012 be the weakest gaming year in four years if we are approaching the dawn of a new console generation and the release of several promising games?

2012 seems to be the best year since 2007. 2010 was almost as good though.

So far this year, I've purchased Rhythm Heaven Fever, a Playstation 3, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Journey, and that's just games I bought that were from this year. For me, it's already much stronger than last year, especially when I go into the summer. Last year, I had to resort to playing a bunch of retro games and bottom-of-the-barrel type games to keep myself occupied during summer, whereas this year I'll essentially be set for almost nonstop gaming. So yeah, 2012 is actually going to be a very strong year for me in terms of gaming.

Deus Ex Human Revolution

NBA 2K12

Madden 12

Dead Space 2

Dark Souls

L.A. Noire

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

Killzone 3

Mortal Kombat

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3

Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition

Meh, I'll keep busy with Max Payne 3, Darksiders 2, Lollipop Chainsaw, RE6, Black Ops 2, Halo 4, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider and any unannounced games with release dates (Last of Us, God of War etc) this year. Not so weak to me.

GTFO here with your hate DL :P. MGS4 = best game this gen (need to replay it and others to concrete this decision). Of course I have not played a couple of games yet (Xenoblade, Arkham City and more) and Diablo III and others are coming :).

To be fair, you could replace MGS4 with pretty much any game save one or two and I still would have laughed at him.

Maybe, I dunno. Feels like I've been backlogged for about two years now. Been a long time since I didn't have a game waiting for me once I've finished whatever I'm playing, so it's hard to complain.

You don't. I was just curious why you'd choose a boxed copy over DD. Maybe it's just me, but I love not having to deal with boxes for my PC games.

I don't mind the pretty cases. :]

It is pretty weak yes, all I have bought it Witcher 2: EE which is great. Rest of the year has nothing but sequels but The Last of Us and All Stars should feel fresh.

Let me run down a list of a few games that are in my head...

  • ME3
  • SSX
  • Wargame European Escalation
  • Bioshock Infinte
  • Diablo 3
  • FireFall
  • Guild Wars 2
  • Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm (I believe)
  • Assassin's Creed 3
  • RE6
  • Max Payne 3
  • GTA 5
  • Starhawk
  • Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai
  • End of Nations
  • Halo 4
  • Call of Duty Black Ops 2

Just a couple.

This is no 2008. Hell, this could be another 2007.

Wasdie
We can add Trials Evolution and Take Black Ops 2 off this list.
