BF3's Back to Karkand is finally out and I've been thoroughly enjoying it, I thought it would make a perfect discussion. Man, did DICE make one helluva game! These maps are absolutely beautiful. I am always amazed with the amount of detail and at how large the maps are, plus they seem to be so well-balanced. Anyway, what do you think of them and what is your favorite? I assume many of you will choose Wake Island; for me, though, I am totally digging Sharqi atm.

Oh, and btw, about the giveaway you can watch the video at: http://www.youtube.com/gameverb#p/u/0/5afxnERalkY

I am sure that some of you do not have access to Back to Karkand since you bought BF3 used or traded for it, so I am hoping that this gives you a chance to win this kickass DLC!

I also can't wait to unlock the MP5 and really like the new weapon assignments (should have been in the game from the beginning imo). I've seen a lot of players using the FAMAS, so I am also going to go after that weapon as well (always liked the look of the FAMAS since Rainbow Six Vegas ;) ).

I had the unlucky fortune of playing Fallout 3 - at launch - on the PS3. It regretted it simply because it became unplayable for me due to how many bugs it had (it was insane!). But now I am wondering if I should find it for cheap or something, and finally play it. I was a huge fan of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel on the PC (I wish they'd honestly bring that back, it would still work even on consoles ya know!).

And for everyone else, I totally love Skyrim. I didn't play Oblivion all that much, simply because it got far too repetitive for my taste. It seems like Bethesda really knows what they're doing though!

1. Modern Warfare 3
2. Skyrim
3. Crysis 2
4. Uncharted 3
5. Infamous 2
6. Assassin's Creed: Revelations
7. Shogun 2: Total War
8. Saint's Row: The Third
9. Witcher 2
10. Deus Ex: Human Revolution

all imo ofcourse

honorable mentions to Batman: AC, Killzone 3, Battlefield 3, WH40k Space Marine and Dawn of War 2: Retribution, but something had to be cut for a top 10 :P

How dare you cut out Battlefield 3 and Batman: AC?! LOL :D Just messing with ya! To each their own, I say. In all seriousness, though, I think Crysis 2 was an excellent choice. I really (really) wanted to put that in my Top 10 List, but unfortunately there wasn't enough room. I wish the multiplayer was a bit more active and it totally surprises me that not many people play it. It is a real, real shame :( Though I am VERY excited to hear that Crytek is working on the next Homefront!

I'd also like to play Infamous 2. I only got a taste of the demo and loved it, but unfortunately it requires something called money and you can only buy so much of these games! I know my twin bro Ryan can run The Witcher 2, and I hear there is a 30 minute demo on the internet. I am going to give it a try!

If anyone has any tips/advice for me before going into a 30 minute demo of The Witcher 2, let me know - besides, 30 minutes is never enough time, let alone for an open-world RPG!

Thanks for the replies everyone...

1. The Witcher 2

2. Deus Ex Human Revolution

3. E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy

4. Shogun 2 Total War

5. Portal 2

8. Anomaly: WarzoneEarth

9. Minecraft

I have to say that I absolutely cannot wait for The Witcher 2 to come to the Xbox 360. I don't have the hardware to run it on PC and I've been drooling over this game for a long, long time. Over the recent years there's been some great RPG's, but more and more of them are focusing on actual gameplay (while maintaining the good RPGing we all love and know) and it seeems the Witcher 2's gameplay looks incredible. 'Reckoning is another one I am looking forward to as well.

Good choice for no. 1 ;)

So I am newer here to System Wars, so I expect to be beaten severely by you veterans of intellectual arguments - lol :D In all seriousness, we all know that the VGA's are here and I wanted to first share my Top Ten Games of this Year. Don't be too harsh on me now as they are my opinions, though I did put some thought into them! Please note: I love all platforms and definitely do not like fanboyism (we gamers make up new words all the time! :) ). You can find my Top Ten Countdown and Game of the Year at:

So now that you know my list, I was wondering if any of you have a game in your head for GOTY that is console-specific. For example, is Uncharted 3 or Gears of War 3 your GOTY? Or perhaps something that is on all consoles?

And let the GOTY Wars commence! :twisted:

The first gameplay footage in HD of Prince of Persia the Forgotten Sands can be seen here:

Select "720p" to watch it in HD.

The game looks absolutely INCREDIBLE and I cannot wait for this! I am so happy that they are bringing back the original gameplay. :)

The game looks freaking amazing! I know it might not be as big as GTA, but it has some awesome stuff in it to compete with GTA.

I like how it has 3 cities and not just one. I hope they are not too small though. From what I've seen, they look quite large.

I have been urgently waiting for this moment to play this game and now it is finally here. This game is going to rock! Check out Xbox Live Marketplace and you'll definitely see that it is available for download. This rocks!

I'll tell you what I think of it when I get the chance - you guys do the same

Game On!
Robby :)
