I have GW2...but I don't really play it. And I have quite the backlog already. So I'm leaning towards Amalur. If only I didn't own all the 2k games :P.

Since you seem to have skipped the last page, Amalur is already working, just not on the list for some reason.

I find it very difficult to discuss games in the year they were released. I tend to be a year behind with just a few exception - games I know I'll immediately play and/or sink a lot of time into. For me, this year, that game has been Borderlands 2. I'll also throw in Alan Wake.

Naturally, I want all the games that will likely end up on many others' top lists: XCOM, Dishonored, Hitman Absolution, Max Payne 3, etc. I just haven't gotten around to them... and as a CAG that works in my favor.

Some SURPRISE games I played this year (no real expectations but genuinely enjoyed)
- Lord of the Rings: War in the North
- Shoot Many Robots
- Warhammer 40k: Space Marine

I'm torn between what to get since I only got one code...Hotline Miami for $2.50 today or wait for X-Com to be 50% off tomorrow...

Or anyone want to hook me up if they aren't using an extra code?

I knew I should've bought more!

go with xcom
$20 after coupon will be epic

For me my top 5 were, in no particular order: Journey, Hotline Miami, The Walking Dead, Borderlands 2 and Diablo III. There is still a bunch of good games in my backlog that still haven't played Dishonored, FTL, Far Cry 3, XCOM, Civ V, Sleeping Dogs, etc. so my list may change in the near future.

I tend to be behind on what I play, but The Saboteur, Assassin's Creed 2, World of Goo and Mount and Blade Warband are jumbled behind Portal 2, which was easily the best of the year for me.

You win the internets, sir.

Just bought Dark Souls for $11.64 (EC coupon, GC balance), and downloading TSW as we speak about to go to best buy and spend some christmas money too, or at least shop around. "Retail therapy" at its finest.

As for games this year, D3 and BL2 were huge for me, because those are really the only games that all my friends bought and we played together. Over 100 hours in D3 and I think ~80 in BL2. (Which btw, if anybody still plays either of those, feel free to add me on Steam or send me a PM on here. My friends dont anymore haha). P4 Golden is also amazing if anybody has a Vita.

Tony,

How long is the price for ME3 Deluxe going to stay at its current price ($19.99) ?

Tony, just snagged Hotline Miami and wanted to toss a happy 2013 + huge thanks to you and the Amazon team. You guys rock!

Cheers CAGers, don't miss out on Hotline Miami--at $2.50 it's a no brainer.

- DA

Everyone keeps talking up Hotline Miami so I finally bit for the $2.49. Holding off for XCOM sale and I dunno about the rest. Mainly because I already bought the ones I wanted in previous Amazon sales.

Happy New Year, Tony & the rest of you.

So, I have three certificates. One is reserved for Crusader Kings II when it gets cheaper. I guess I could pick up Hotline Miami now, tho I don't have a huge interest in the game. Leaves one, which I don't have much of an interest in the rest of the list. I guess I should wait to see what is added.

How bad is Origin? I have been eyeballing Kingdoms of Amalur for a while.
Seems to be the only downside.

Many have an opinion, I do not. To me it's just another client/service. (Though the DL speeds tend to suck.)

I don't think its that bad at all. Only thing that bugs me is having to open another client to run the game, but its just a minor inconvenience. KoA is a good time, I'd pick it up at that price.

Cool, Sold!

Steam daily deal on Max Payne 3 and War of the Roses. Time to see if price matching is gonna happen.

Picked up Dark Souls without hesitation at that price. Can't wait to dig in. Would be awesome if I had another for Hotline: Miami though!

Top games of 2012 for me:

Civ 5: G&K (Huge expansion with a ton of new content; bringing back religion was a giant plus.)

Borderlands 2 (Fun co-op; Staying power. All the good things from the 1st apply here.)

FTL (Simply a fantastic game and can be played in short bursts. Highly intuitive, unpredictable, and downright fun. Always keeps me coming back)

XCOM: EU (A well-done reimagining of the original. Removed a lot of the unnecessary bits and streamlined the things that made XCOM exciting. Good game design overall.)

The Walking Dead (Raw emotion and nervewracking in a good way. I'm not a fan of zombies but the writing and narrative are superb. Anyone a fan of good storytelling and becoming emotionally invested in the characters will love this one.)

The Book of Unwritten Tales (Great artistic design from the scenery to the characters. An endearing and memorable story. I have a soft spot for well done point and clicks.)
