Any guess what #1 will be (to be revealed tomorrow)? My tip: FarCry 3.

When did Arkham City come out, 2011?

[Syt]

Yes.

OK then I give the list my blessing.

What is so good about Arkham City? Boring buttonsmasher, is what I see in it.

I only played it on the PC, but I had fun with it.  Haven't played Far Cry 3 yet.  I was not exactly impressed with Far Cry 1 and 2.  X-com is the best I played this year.  Hotline Miami was great fun.  I highly recommend it, extremely addictive.  I don't know if it's good for people who never played games in the Arcade back in 1980's though.  There is certainly a nostalgia factor in there.

  That picture at the top captures the game pretty well.  Guys getting blown away by some exploding barrels while a bear attacks you.  Whoever took the screenshot is cheating though (way too much ammo and grenades).
