Coming from someone who did not like Oblivion, Mass Effect or The Witcher.. this game is absolutely fantastic ^^

Skyrim is huge, engrosing and the majority of quests are engaging and fun. My only negatives would be the UI and the lack of depth in regards to combat (at least for Mages).

1. Diablo 3

2. Guild Wars 2

3. Dota 2

2012 will be a very good year for gamers :D

Some of the best DS games I have played are Japanese titles including Ouendan and Jump Ultimate Stars 2.

Question: When do we get access to the DLC maps? At launch or at a latter time?

For those skeptical about levelling in Vashj'ir (the underwater zone) I can assure you it was well worth going through there.

So many awesome cut scenes, quests and good stories.

In addition, Blizzard did an ace job with dealing with the swimming dilemmas so I definitely recommend this zone.

I ALSO HAD AN IMPORTANT QUESTION I FORGOT TO ASK: Before I stopped playing, I was on Nagrand (Oceanic PvE Server). Which OCEANIC PvE Server is the most FULL/BEST these days....? Back then it was Nagrand, but now I do not know...FelipeInside

As a Horde player, Nagrand is the server to go with. It's still lively there.

As Alliance, Dath'Remar or Aman'thul (assuming you are sticking with Oceanic PvE servers) are the preferred servers.

Keep in mind data for Nagrand is not correct and is more like 7k Horde 6.5k Alliance.

Here's to hoping Battlefield 3 doesn't have a campaign.

In addition a lan option to play with friends with 128 bots would be awesome :D I loved that in BF2.

Also I would not mind this:

So does that mean you are going to shun the next 2 starcraft 2 titles? I mean, they are going to offer the same thing except for a new compaign and are going to be released year after year (or relatively close) AT full retail price.

Yes, I don't plan on buying them. If they're required in some way to use new units or something I'll just stop playing the game entirely.

In addition to the lack of LAN, the announcement that they would split the game into 3 parts was very disheartening to me. I have zero interest in the single player campaigns, so I would only be paying for some units. Not worth it for me.

Actually I am pretty sure a Blizzard rep stated that you won't need to buy the expansion to continue playing the multiplayer with the rest. Plus no one knows the details of how expensive the next installment of SC2 will be.

To the OP, have you considered that some people only like to play a handful of games?

My game library is big, yet many of games I have untouched or unfinished where I am playing the same games all the time.

Paying $60 for a hefty update for the game you continually play is a small price to pay.

Rome Total War. I had the choice between buying this game and Warhammer 40k Dawn of War and boy was I wrong.

Luckily I managed to salvage more money for WH40k DOW not too soon after :D

Guys, please realize, the 12M is current, active, paying accounts. This is a huge number, good for them as well. It's a great game.LethalEu4ia

I wonder if that number would hit 13M with the release of Cataclysm. Its shaping out to be a very promising expansion pack.
