I love XCOM and everything it stands for, I say everyone should buy it. But it is a broken mess technicaly and some null headed design decisions such as the way enemies spawn and the precreated maps destroyes replay value. sadly I can't endorse it as a game of the year, not without a major patch, also the final mission sucks balls. I want to like XCOM more tho and I really wish it was GOTY meterial, but just like DS2 it is a flawed gem that the luster wears off after the final hurdle has been jumped.

Sleeping Dogs has it's flaws but the game is all round more solid. Lets face it Halo 4, Borderlands 2 and AC3 will take most awards and those that want to be edgy will give it to Journey, The Walking Dead, or Dishonoured.

EDIT: Just to be clear I am premoting Sleeping Dogs as a dark horse candidate 

I have yet to play this game. I might get around to it someday if I can pick it up cheap. I really enjoyed the first Darksiders and consider it to be one of the most underrated titles this generation.

I loved this game and the first. The Last Story is my GOTY but DSII isa close second.

I got the CE of Darksiders II,Strat Guide,OST,T shirt. Fucking love the game
