It's easy to tell who's gonna love it, and who's gonna hate it.

Ask 'em about legos. ;)

Arkham City was only out for a few months in 2011, can it count for 2012? Been playing that a lot recently.

With the exception of the X-Box version, a 2011 release.

I thought I'd hate Minecraft, but I needed something to play at the time, and it's cheap, so I gave it a try. It's really good for playing when you just feel like messing with stuff.

City of Heroes is closing at the end of the month. I'll miss it. That and Civ 4 are pretty much the only video games I've played since 2005.

That sums it up right there!

My wife and I are still playing Gears of War 3.....I didn't think there had been any game releases this year until Halo 4 came out today.... :lol:

For me it's been the Half Life 2 episodes, and Pirates! With the occasional smidge of Civ IV (never played V yet) and EUIII.

Playing Assassines Creed 3, so far its been a good game.
Also, Halo 4 is coming out this year.
Do agree about the dissapointment with ME 3 though.

Once CoH is gone, gone are about 50% of the people with whom I've interacted for more than five years. I've begun to realize I don't particularly like them. Too many unabashed socialists. I'll probably unfollow them on Twitter since there's no reason to keep talking to them.
